About this property

Prairie Cabin Of The Lac Qui Parle "Lake Which Speaks"

•We are a safe place for BIPOC/LGBTQIA+ folks to enjoy the prairie•

A quintessential, little, rustic cabin on the prairie bluffs of the Minnesota river is what we have to offer. Located on the edge of the Lac Qui Parle hunting refuge, and minutes from the Lac Qui Parle Lake State Park, this small cabin has HUGE potential! It is set up similar to the rental/camper cabins that are available at many of Minnesota's state parks. So if you're more into camping and the outdoors, and less into hotel travel, this is right up your alley! This 600 sq. ft. cabin has electricity, heat, air conditioning, and an outdoor water spigot, outdoor shower, and a separate toilet room equipped with composting toilet (port-a-potty also available). The kitchenette includes a fridge, microwave, and electric stove top with 3 burners. One bedroom with additional sleeping space in loft area. Outdoor patio fire pit and benches face west overlooking the Minnesota river valley and some spectacular sun sets!
Located near the Lac Qui Parle Wildlife Managment Area, the Lac Qui Parle Lake and state park, there is plenty to do and see for the outdoors seeker. Or stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural Minnesota gem of a cabin.
The cabin built by hand by the owner. All wood was locally sourced or reclaimed. Taking the better part of four years to build and get ready.

One owner does reside on the property with a large dog, Shadow, and a couple cats; the cats roam the property freely, but Shadow does not roam freely during rentals. The cabin is separated from the house by a grove.

There were def better options for the price.. But was too bad of stay
Lots and lots of mosquitoes def need a bug zapper bring it with if u have one or go buy one itll def help.. It was a bit too primitive for us going to the bathroom on a toilet that hundreds have also used in a bucket in a sense.Wasnt really much to do queen bed was horride that thing messed my back up so bad it def needs to be replaced like yesterday. We did do some fishing tho and went swimming so thats a plus brought the dog with she seemed to enjoy her self..Communication with the owners who i dont think live on site but they say they do was great. Sunsets were great got to see some chimunks where pretty eager to see us seen a few cats one of thich was pretty friendly didn t see him til the ned of the week trip.There were some piences of foam for beds which was what ever kids didnt really use em.. It was very quiet overall wasnt a bad place to be at..

Perfect place
This was a perfect stay for our outdoorsy family! My kids really hate hotels and get board so we were so happy to find this place. My family and kids cannot wait to go back and they hope for longer next time, my kids only request is to see the dog the owners of the property talked about 😂.

Quiet place for relaxation and rejuvenation
Spent a week at the cabin, and it was a lovely place to relax and let the dog run free. Bring books and art supplies, and also highly recommend a hammock w/ mosquito netting or 10x10 pop up with mosquito netting.

unexpected
We didn't read the information closely enough. No running water and no shower to say of was inconvenient. We could have managed both of these but there was not a comfortable chair or two to sit in to just relax. We cut our stay short.

We had a great time staying at the cabin. Everything was just as described. The cabin itself was better than described with many neat craftsmanship touches. It was the perfect size for our family of four.

Sweet Cabin
What a great place to stay. Amazing beauty since the cabin is surrounded by green farmland and minutes away from Laq Qui Parle lake and state park. Loved the dog-friendly vibes; the dog had fun too. Posting gives accurate review of the non-running H20 aspect and compensates well with large jugs of water and the outdoor shower. Favorite time was morning coffee just drinking in the quiet and beauty.
