Great Cabin weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at this cabin. We enjoyed dinner at Bimbo’s, which was within walking distance, had a great time sitting around the campfire, and even though it wasn’t on the lake, we weren’t too far from an amazing swimming beach. My family and I will definitely stay again!

We're on a journey to visit every state park in Minnesota. We decided to come to the this area to celebrate my birthday and Father's day. We couldn't have found a better spot. It was super close to one of the parks and it was very quiet and inviting. Loved the subtle touches in the house and how we had everything we needed availabile to us. Very affordable too! Highly recommend to anyone coming to the Side Lake area!

Quiet getaway

This house was emaculate! It sits on a large lot that is very quiet and serene. The rooms were very neat with the different themes. It had plenty of room to accommodate all three of us. We come up annually and hope to visit again next year!

October Hunting Trip

Great place to meet with friends for a fall hunting trip. The house was as described and very clean. Location was great! Bimbo's is walking distance and there's a couple other restaurants in the area. Plenty of public hunting land in the area! Parking was easy with plenty of off-street space for three trucks.

Side Lake Getaway

The house was immaculate! The spacious, light filled living room with generous seating was a comfortable place to relax. The piano desk was an unusual, but clever upcycle. The bedrooms were nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. Nice kitchen, though I didn’t cook much, but well stocked to cook a meal. A very pleasant place to stay. Side Lake is a nice place to visit!
