We have a 5-night minimum stay summer months June/July/Aug & Fall/Winter/Spring Rates range $399-$650 per night. 2-night minimum fall/winter/spring months -Taxes include 5.5% State of WI & County Sales & Use Tax plus new City of Shell Lake 5% Room Tax. Enjoy the sunset views from the deck of this beautiful 4 bedroom, 3 full bath Cabin on 2600 acre Shell Lake. Fish off the dock, play in the sand, hang by the fire, have some fun in the game room, take walks, bike or just relax. Shell Lake has very good clarity. Wonderful to swim in. We have a large sandy beach & as you walk into the water it’s gradual & does not get deep until past our dock. At the end of our dock, the water is about waist high or so. The town of Shell Lake is a few miles away, across the lake from the cabin. The area around the cabin is very wooded & East Lake Drive is great to take walks around the area or bike, ATV etc.. Located within blocks of the Wisconsin ATV/Snowmobile trails of the Indian-head region of northern Washburn County. Shell Lake is known for Walleye, Bass, Northern Pike & Muskie fishing. Shell Lake is a 2-hour scenic drive from the northeast side of the Twin Cities. We have a set of ordinances for all renters of our cabin from the City of Shell Lake: no fireworks, no tents/trailers/campers on property, no launching boats off the private beach (use public boat launch in Shell Lake only), no driving ATV's on cabin beach & cabin lawn, quiet time outside on beach & on all outside decking is 10pm, no more than 4 motorized vehicles are allowed to park on the premises at any time, the maximum # of occupants is 10 (children ages 0 thru 3 are not counted). Payments received online only.

Long Weekend Getaway with our Adult Kids

This was our first time staying at this beautiful lake/beach front property. The in person check in process was fast and easy. Lots to do outside as well as in. We all kept busy and had a good time. This is one of our top places to stay now as a family getaway.

Cabin Get Away

My husband and I had a wonderful stay along with our children and grandchildren. The property is gorgeous. I couldn't believe how well the kitchen was stock with everything you need to cook and store food. We had one rainy day but the game room kept everyone entertained with the wide variety of games. This is the best experience I have had on Vrbo.

Beautiful Property, Great Getaway!

We just returned from a wonderful weekend! The cabin was spacious but still cozy, with lots of places to hang out and enjoy great family time. We enjoyed the yard and firepit area and went on walks right from the property enjoying the Fall colors. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Many wonderful memories made!

We have been coming to stay at Pam & Doug’s cabin for the past 9 years - it’s the high point of our summer! Everything about this place is so amazing! The beach and water are so clean, the house has room for everyone and even if the weather isn’t the greatest there is plenty to do! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great Family Vacation home

We had a great time at the Cabin. There was plenty of room for our 2 families with children ranging from 8-13. Kids always had something to do whether it was swimming in very clear lake or hanging out in the game room. The fishing was great also and we received great tips for things to do in town. The free live music at Potters Shed was a blast.

Family Vacation

Perfect vacation! This cabin was amazing. Everything you need to spread out and relax all with a wonderful backdrop of Shell Lake. Our group ranged from 9 to 72 years and there was something for everyone. The game room was a big hit with the kids and grandpa too. Can’t wait to return in the future!!

Girls' Getaway

What a great weekend - we so enjoyed our stay! This home is beautiful, well-equipped, and very clean. The beach is sandy and the water is clear. We took long walks every day seeing plenty of deer, eagles, and beautiful scenery. The nearby Potter's Shed was a fun little artsy shop with a nice cafe and music at night. Highly recommend this cabin!

Beautiful Sandy Beach & Lake Front and we love the cabin.....
