Quiet respite

We enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was just the right size for two adults (the double bed was a bit cozier than we are used to, but we slept well each night). Quiet and calm was what we were looking for and we found it here.

Above and beyond.

I wish I was back already. I could stay there forever! I primarily choose this cabin for distance from where I live (twin cities), cost and semi-isolation for my reactive dog. My friend and I rented this for a weekend getaway and this place and Deb (owner) are above and beyond our expectations. We had the 1 bedroom cabin which was perfect (and I could see myself living in something similar when I'm older) which had a pull out sofa bed so it was great for us two. Deb provides way more than the "basics" for cooking which we actually than overpacked for ourselves. Having the canoes and kayaks available was perfect for the super quiet lake. My dog got to enjoy being a dog with minimal triggers and even when she barked Deb said they didn't mind and understood which put me at ease. Deb would even check on us when she was us out and about to see if everything was working or to our liking which everything was above and beyond our liking. I honestly felt so refreshed from our weekend there and wish I could say there forever. Deb and her husband are perfect hosts and have this perfect slice of heaven. Overall- amazing weather, amazing cabin, and amazing neighboring cabin, and amazing hosts. I will definitely be returning many times over the next years and will definitely have to go check out the winter time also.

Great cozy cabin getaway

Better than advertised! The cabin was very spacious for 2 and had all the necessities for a relaxing weekend. Lake, dock, canoes and kayaks all easy to get to and use. Had a great time fishing and thoroughly enjoyed the private fire pit at night. We would definitely come back for another stay!

quiet, loveliness and fishing

This property was an ideal first vacation with our anxious, rescue dog, giving us space and quiet time away. Deborah and David were gracious hosts. The cabin was the perfect size for us to relax when the weather wasn't great and came with some entertaining movies. The fishing was good by paddle boat, kayak and just off the dock, but be prepared for the northern's to fight. We hope to go back up for some ice fishing.

Short time away...

When we arrived, we were greeted by masses of heat seeking, blood sucking, mosquitoes! None of our screens fit tight and to have them open only brought the moquitoes indoors. So we kept them closed and weren't able to hear the late night/early morning calls of the loons. We made the best of it! Took a canoe out and were surprised with beaver, loons, herons, trumpeter swans, ducks and geese. That was absolutely the highlight of our stay. Time away on a quiet lake was what we were looking for. We wish the caretakers would have spent a little more time cleaning. Rustic charm, peaceful setting, bring your bug spray!

Paradise in the North Woods

We LOVED our stay on Lows Lake. It was so quiet and dog friendly. The fishing was great, and we loved using the canoe, kayak and SUP. The camp has great cell service and internet, although you sometimes feel like you are alone on this earth. So relaxing!!

Cozy little cabin

Cabin was clean and stocked fairly well. Location was nice except for not being able to park by the cabin was inconvenient. Drove me and my husband a little crazy that nothing in the cabin was straight (curtain rods, boards on walls and ceiling). Wasn't thrilled about the bedding ( a flat sheet and plush throw blanket) Overall was a nice place though.

In need of basic maintenance

The location is great and the lake is beautiful. Following are the things we liked about the property: +Gorgeous location +Quaint design with nice plants and decorative touches. +Nice canoe and kayaks to use +Quiet +Kitchen well-equipped (no microwave but we were okay with that) +Back deck with comfy furniture Following were our issues with the property: *Light in kitchen didn’t work (had 3-4 bulbs in fixture and none of them lit). It was so dark and the pans were black-lined so it was hard to even see if water was boiling. *BRIGHT exposed bulb in middle of ceiling in sitting area with no lamps so reading material was in shadow even though the light was crazy bright. *We knew the walls weren’t full height from reading other reviews, but on top of that, the bathroom door didn’t close. *Cobwebs and dirty water drippage, stained bathroom floor, melted butter and corn on the deck table *No key provided so we had to leave it unlocked when we went to town *No deadbolt on front door *Sheer window coverings *Charged in advance for firewood even though we didn’t use any

Family getaway

The cabin was cute and well kept. There was linen supplied as well as cooking utensils. Some of the windows did not have screens so could not open windows. This made it difficult to cool cabin however fans were supplied. The host was very friendly. The fishing was good. Canoe was sturdy. The biggest issue was there is a difference of opinion when it comes to a beach. Definitely no beach area. Many weeds so not great for swimming with small children. Would recommend this to an adult group or a group with older children.

Lovely quiet getaway

The location is beautiful & the cabin was right on the lake. The cabin was small but sufficient for my family of 4, just be aware that’s it’s like a studio apartment but with less privacy because the walls separating the bedroom/bathroom from the rest of the space don’t reach the ceiling. -1 star because there’s no microwave, that would have been helpful for reheating leftovers/making popcorn because there aren’t any restaurants/stores nearby. Otherwise it was great!

Great Lake and Cabins, Hostile owner

I can't say enough about this lake. On the first morning I awoke to a smooth as glass lake which perfectly reflected the early Fall colors from the trees on the opposite side. Just as I was taking a picture of this, a bald eagle flew directly over my head! Shortly thereafter I saw a pair of Trumpeter Swans in the distance and later a pair of loons near the shore. The following day I caught a nice 12 inch bass right off the pier on the first cast. The cabins were also very nice, clean and cheerful. However, they lacked any type of window coverings other than for the bedroom and the other cabins are rather close, making privacy a problem. We were not able to get into the cabin on arrival as the previous tenant had locked the key inside. I called the agent who said someone would be over in 10 minutes. An hour later a young man arrived saying he had "run out of gas", but offered no apologies. Upon trying to make a pot of coffee the next morning, about half of the contents of the pot ended up all over the counter. When I took the carafe over to the agent, who had arrived, her male partner took it inside to test if it really leaked and then came out and said "no one has ever complained about that before". Upon arriving back at the site from a day trip we stopped at a nearby house which had a sign in the driveway advertising eggs for sale. As I had recently sold a farmette at which I had raised chickens and sold eggs myself, I was interested in trying the eggs and also taking a look at the chickens. The coop was about 20 feet from the roadway and clearly visible. However, when we pulled over at the entrance to the driveway, we were greeted by three larger barking dogs who surrounded us. At that point, two younger children came out and I inquired about the eggs and also asked if I could come into the yard to look at the chickens. They said yes and walked the few feet to the coop with them and had what I thought was a nice talk about the chicken breeds. About an hour later the same young man who had brought the keys came over to our cabin, parked his car behind mine blocking it in, and accused me of trying to break into "his house". He also accused me of parking at some other house in the area and looking in even though we had been away all day. He then said that his family owned the cottages. This whole thing was very disconcerting and spoiled what would otherwise have been a delightful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Peteler

The Cabins At Lows Lake Resort is family owned. We have been coming to this area for summer family vacations. This property came to our attention, and we just fell in love with it. We feel our guests will have a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property as it is the only resort, secluded with all of its cabins lake front. High enough, but close enough to the lake shore.

Private, clean, lots of nature and secluded.

What makes this property unique

All the cabins face the lake, so they have a view of this beautiful lake all day. Because this is a private lake, you don't have the noise of a busy lake. You can swim, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, and more lake activities.
