Peaceful Vintage 1920's Lakefront Red Log Cabin
Coming down Sunset View Lane, the sign at the end of our driveway, lets you know you've arrived at Camp David! A peaceful and cozy 100 year old red log cabin. Rumor has it, this former resort cabin, was used by gangsters from Chicago! The signatures in the logs will have you standing and reading who visited this cabin over the years and when they visited! We've seen signatures from 1919! This charming red cabin was built from logs floating in the lake. Featuring 100 feet of lake front & fabulous sandy bottom for swimming. The cabin sits 40 feet from the water and is 600 square feet. Complete with modern appliances, refrigerator, gas stove and microwave. Adjoining the kitchen is the living room with a smart TV, cable and wifi is available. There is a rustic bath with shower, four season porch with two full beds. Forced air heat & window A/C. We have two exterior only security cameras. This is on at all times for security only. Porch features original logs and vaulted ceiling. A special west facing view of incredible sunsets, will not be forgotten. Spot for great campfires! A rare find, this is our personal cabin which we like to share with others.

My husband and I took a long weekend trip up north to just get away and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It was very rustic and welcoming, and close enough to town for a game of golf, to grab floaties for the lake or any groceries or food. We would definitely love to stay again!
Beautiful location, beautiful lake, great rustic cabin and was stocked with just about anything you need other than food. Quiet and peaceful only noise at night were the loons. My buddy and I love to fish and we found both East and West Fox Lake great for fishing, rented a pontoon boat from nearby resort in Emily who delivered it to our lake. Neighbors were super friendly and nice. Would definitely stay here again.
The cabin is so cozy and just our style. Quiet neighborhood with a beautiful lake. It was windy the days we were there we weren’t able to grill or use the fire pit. We sat on the dock with our coffee and just enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We ate at the Wharf for dinner and the next day went to Nisswa for shopping and lunch. Can’t wait to go back!!
The cabin is nice.. I read some reviews and with the term "rustic" I wasn't sure what to expect but it was nice! The cabin is not brand new but it is fine. The bathroom is small but everything worked and it served its purpose!
Everything works as it should and there are enough kitchen supplies and games/etc to keep you busy. The area is nice and quiet and the lake is great. It is shallow by the dock but the water is clear and it is deep enough for adults to swim and float around, kayak, boat etc. It was a nice relaxing few days away and it makes me sad to go back to the daily grind!
Camp David is a small comfy vintage cabin very nicely situated on a beautiful clean lake. It is basically one room with a porch facing the lake that has been transformed into the bedroom. We really enjoyed our time there spending time on the dock, listening to loons, and exploring the lake in our kayaks. We appreciated the comfy furniture and the well-stocked kitchen. The bathroom definitely needs updating but it worked. The grill and outside furniture were in tough shape but we cleaned a couple chairs up and used them. Overall it felt like it was an old cabin with time-worn charm that’s been in a family for many years. Pro tip - watch out if you’re tall, the cabin has a low ceiling!
The cabin is cozy and adorable. Close to the lake which is beautiful.
The furniture, while old fashioned, was extremely comfortable. We spent a ton of time relaxing on the red couch!
Had a few minor issues. The chain in the toilet kept coming loose, causing issues with flushing, and the water pressure in the sink and shower were near nothing. It was also extremely cold in the bedroom, despite us adjusting the heat, and the portable heater in the bedroom did not work.
Overall, we seriously enjoyed our trip! I’d recommend this cabin to couples looking for a nice weekend to rest and relax!
Wonderful time in a beautiful, quiet setting. Accommodations, including extra air mattresses, were perfect for a Great Lake cabin experience. We hope to make it an annual tradition!
We absolutely adored this little cabin! It was perfect for our end of summer family get-away. The lake is so clean and clear and it was a blast fishing from the dock. Lots to do in neighboring towns (mini golf, little shops, mystery maze) The cabin itself was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!
We loved our long weekend getaway at Camp David. The little cabin and location were perfect. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had about the area or place too. I highly recommend this place.
The cabin was lovely! We enjoyed the comfy decor and it was stocked with everything we needed and then some! Beautiful weather and Wanda was amazing in communications. Would stay again if in the area!
This place is slice of heaven. Its so peaceful and the cabin is a perfect place to relax. Wanda is an amazing host and easy to communicate with. The town itself is small but the locals were extremely friendly. We love this place and were sad to leave. We will for sure be back next year.
We had agreat time. Second time we have stayed here. We loved fishing from the dock. Caught alotof fish. Had one issue which our host fixed quickly. We will go back.
