Peaceful and serene vacation cabin!
This waterfront cabin is picture-perfect. A family of loons were bobbing up and down on the lake in front of the dock. The walk down to the lake has a natural progression of 46 steps. The deer and wild turkeys are cute to observe. The lake water is clear and clean. Itasca State Park was close by to visit the headwaters of the Mississippi River. At night the moon reflected brilliantly on the water. You will not be disappointed in this cabin! The area offers plenty of places to eat and visit. We had no disappointments.

Peaceful Serenity
When you arrive at the property, you are greeted by beautiful views. The "cabin" is a family cabin. The accommodations are spectacular, beds comfortable, kitchen complete with all you need. Sit on the deck with your cup of coffee to listen to the loons and watch the eagle fly by. It is very quiet and peaceful. A great way to relax for your vacation. There are 54 steps from the deck down to the lake, so your legs get quite a workout going down to the lake to fish off the dock! There is no beach for kids to play on but the water is crystal clear. We enjoyed our week away.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Lake home. The property manager was very response to our needs. The only thing I would caution people about is the steep. hill to the Lake.

Lookout mountain on Man Lake
Perched on a hill, the view of the lake is spectacular. However, lots of stairs to the water. The lake is extremely clear and clean. Private house nestled in the woods with wildlife. Carpet could stand to be replaced and vacuuming could have been a little more thorough as found lots of bugs near The baseboards and all the rooms. Other than that it was clean. The boat lift is nice but needs a roof. Very nice deck overlooking the lake with chairs and table.

Nice cabin and lake / Owner difficult
Our family (2 adults and one teenager) rented this cabin for 4 weeks in June / early July. Cabin and lake are nice, but we found Richard, the owner, difficult to work with. He requires renters to print, sign, scan and return 2 additional legal agreements prior to staying. Even though it is listed as a 6-person cabin, we had to negotiate being able to have additional family members visit us during our stay. While there, we had 2 power outages caused by storms, one for almost 2 days. We had no power, water, or bathroom facilities and had to stay at another location for one night. Later, while a leaky roof was being repaired, work crews were at the property for 2 days, with no advance notice. We did not appreciate being awakened at 7:30 AM to a loud compressor starting up. At the end of the 4 weeks, we asked Richard to consider a refund or some accommodation for the 4 days of our stay that were impacted by the power outages and repair crew. Richard's response was typical: "Your request is unreasonable and therefore no refund." We won't be staying there again.

Relaxing Getaway!
We rented this property for 9 days and enjoyed every one of them. The cabin was extremely clean and well equipped, and situated on a private lot. We enjoyed the picturesque view of Man lake, the clean lake water, the vibrant loon community, many sightings of deer and bald eagles, 2 kayaks, the outdoor fireplace, and the overall peacefulness of the setting The owner obviously takes great pride in his property and makes sure guests have what they need for an enjoyable and relaxing time. We rented a small pontoon from Recreational Rentals and it was a seamless launch from Wildwood Beach Resort. The area lake roads were great for walking and running. We thoroughly enjoyed out time!

Family Vacation Fun!
Had a great time staying at this home. It's very well equipped with everything you will need! Our granddaughter, a toddler, loved to stand in front of the very large windows and look at the lake. The view is so pretty!. Very restful and peaceful place. Deer were in the yard every night. Black flies were annoying but that's nothing the owner can control and part of being in the woods. It was a great vacation!

A perfect place to do nothing
We (a dad with three younger kids who stayed the whole time, and two older kids who visited each for a night) spend seven great nights at this cabin. This cabin was the perfect package. It's perched on a hill at the North end of a lake, and has incredible views from the deck, the living room, the largest bedroom, and the dock. It's just rustic enough to feel like a cabin where you can unwind, but it's still a modern and very comfortable space. We rented a pontoon from Recreational Rentals, and spent the week with no agenda - just taking time to swim or tube or fish out on the lake. The hosts are very responsive, easy to work with, and are highly recommended.

beautiful views, relaxing
we had a great time, the views were great. You are truly away from everything. we rented a pontoon from Hackensack and spent lots of time fishing, swimming and going on boat rides. not a lot of people were on the lake. water was very clear. I would highly recommend this property if you want to get away from it all.

Gorgeous Views
It was just my wife and I for a week in early July. The home's setting is beautiful. It is fairly high above the lake so provides great views from the deck/house. The stairs to the dock are significant, but doable. The wifi was strong enough to stream well through our Fire Stick. It was a hot week, so our only complaint is that the home needs AC. A mini-split would be perfect. The lake is just the right size and really pretty. Fishing was tough, but that's true everywhere in July. Hackensack and Longville are great little towns nearby.

Exactly what we were looking for!
We wanted a peaceful vacation on a lake and that’s exactly what this was. The house is not air conditioned but there are several fans that kept the rooms comfortable. I don’t like being hot and there was a day or two at 90 degrees, but the fans worked. We bought most of our groceries in Walker. It was an easy drive, and seeing all the activity on Leech Lake made us even more thankful for the solitude of this rental. The dock area was very nice. We rented a boat from Wildwood Resort and they were very easy to deal with. This was definitely a vacation we would repeat!

Wonderful cabin
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Rother’s cabin on Mann lake. A really nice cabin with a remarkable view of the lake. Such a peaceful place. We rented a pontoon from Recreational rentals in Hackensack and had so much fun on the lake tubing and swimming. Sometimes it was just us and the loons on the lake! Could have spent hours on the deck just soaking up the view and listening to the loons.

Our time here was wonderful! The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The property is beautiful and the view from the living room and the deck is great. Listening to loons and watching eagles was a highlight. We enjoyed fishing and swimming every day and all ages enjoyed it all. I would go again in a heartbeat.

Amazing views, super quiet location, & great setup!
We took our family of 5 to stay here for a week in August and had a wonderful stay! The view is incredible looking over the lake and location very private and serene! We needed a week away from the hustle and bustle and this was a great place to spend it! The cabin had all we needed with a bed for everyone, nice kitchen, lovely deck, and even a washer & dryer! We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful lake getaway! The only drawback we found was the size of the lake is pretty small and low depth in several areas, which was challenging for water sports such as wakeboarding, tubing and skiing but it can be done here. It was perfect for fishing and canoeing. It seems the main use of this lake is by fisherman! Thanks for a great stay!

Why they chose this property

Reviews; "After speaking with Richard about his lake home we scheduled a week’s vacation at his property. His property on Man Lake is arguably the best, as it offers spectacular views of the lake no other property can provide. The inside of the home was extremely clean and very well-maintained. The kitchen in particular, was very well supplied. We really felt at home here. The only part of the vacation that we did not like was having to pack up and come home. We plan on returning to Richard’s lake house going forward" Mike V
"Great cabin home tucked into the shores of peaceful Mann Lake. Perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Mann Lake with the comforts of home. Good fishing too!"
