The Definition of Get-Away-from-it-All!
Escape to Your Private Lakeside Wilderness Retreat
Imagine unwinding on your own 120 acres of secluded woodland, with an incredible 1500 feet of pristine, native lake shoreline entirely at your disposal. At our unique hideaway, one of the lake's original cabins, you can truly get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature. Situated just 30 feet from the water's edge, you'll feel like you're practically sleeping on the lake!
While offering a tranquil and private escape, please note that our cabin provides primitive amenities for a true off-grid experience. If your ideal vacation includes words like "glamping," "secluded," "get-away-from-it-all," "quiet," and "private," then this could be the perfect retreat for you.
Cozy Cabin Features:
Sleeping Loft: Two twin XL beds (can be combined into a king). Downstairs: Comfortable sectional couch with an ottoman that converts to a cot. Basic Kitchenette: Microwave and refrigerator (please note: no running water in the kitchenette). Primitive Bathroom: An outhouse is provided for bathroom facilities. Relaxation: Enjoy a traditional wood-fired sauna after your adventures. Outdoor Oasis (Summer Months): A unique deck with a hot tub and solar shower awaits you. Entertainment: Big-screen TV, cable, and high-speed internet are available for your convenience.
Explore Your Private Paradise:

On-Land Exploration: Discover the trails throughout the 120-acre property at your leisure. Nearby Thrills: For UTV and snowmobile enthusiasts, find endless routes on over 500 miles of local trails. Nature Lovers' Paradise: We are conveniently located less than 10 miles from the North Country National Scenic Trailhead on Hwy 113 and approximately a 30-minute drive from both Itasca State Park and Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge.
Important Notes for Your Stay:
Remote Location: The cabin is about a 1/4 mile drive from the main road, with the final 500 feet involving a steep incline. Guests with rear-wheel drive should strongly consider parking at the top of the hill and walking down to the shoreline. Primitive Living: Please be aware that this is a primitive cabin. You will need to bring your own drinking water. Cooking: An electric pellet grill is provided for your outdoor cooking needs. What to Bring: Unless otherwise arranged, you will need to bring your own bedding and linens. Guest Responsibility: To waive all cleaning fees, we kindly ask that you leave the cabin clean and ready for the next guest. This includes removing all garbage (please pack out your garbage).

The property was very private and beautiful. The hot tub and sauna were a nice bonus. The solar shower was chilly, but refreshing after a sauna! We took out the paddleboat and caught fish. We used the firepit each night and the stars were bright and breathtaking. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this property to others who don't mind not having running water in the cabin.
The stay was very nice. We made sure we brought water for kitchen area. Bring wood for fire and wood burning sauna. Very peaceful and relaxing. Hot tub was awesome. Would definitely be back!!!
Loved the location and property. Very quiet and secluded. Just what we were looking for. The cabin was as advertised and served its purpose. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was due to cleanliness.The cabin was not clean when we arrived and there was a lot of trash on the grounds. This was disappointing. Having usable cleaning supplies is necessary to clean effectively. With a little extra love this place could be really special.
This place was perfect! My partner and I enjoyed taking the paddle boards, kayak, and peddleboat. It was clean when we got there and while we say some comments complaining about the outhouse it wasn't bad at all. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!
You are all by yourself and we loved it. Quiet lake and a hot tub that took away all our aches and pains. We will definitely be back. The true definition of being Alone.
The place is amazing we had a blast !!! A couple grill tools , a paper towel rack in kitchen would be great! The lift upstairs is a bit tight but we made it work . Overall everything it said it was !
This was our 3rd stay at the Hilton Tilton. First stay though in several years. Several upgrades had been made and the place keeps getting better. Caught several walleyes and Northerns off the dock. Really enjoyed the kayak and used the paddle boat. Fired up the wood fired sauna several times for a good sweat and at night we relaxed in the hot tub. Outhouse was very clean and did not detect any bad odors. Weather was perfect for our stay. Check in and out was very smooth. We will be back for a 4th time in the future. Great location and great lake for activities.
We needed a little getaway and this was the perfect place for it! I actually loved that it doesn’t have indoor plumbing or running water. It felt like camping in the middle of winter. But camping at its finest! The hot tub and sauna were amazing! The property is beautiful. The beds were comfortable. Make sure to bring your own sheetsThe owners were very helpful.
I didn't see the email until it was too late to cancel. Drove out to the place, Hunter/fisherman paradise. Family expecting running water in the house or dressing area. Not so much. The only family members that had fun was the toddler, and the dog. I think because they didn't have any idea what was going on.
A friend of mine and I stayed at the end of February. There was alot of snow, so not being able to drive up to the cabin, even with 4 wheel drive, make it very difficult to pack out. Besides difficulties packing in and out it was a amazing trip. We spend the day fishing, catching some nice sized pike and the night relaxing in the hot tub. The cabin is cozy and the perfect size for 2 people. We are "outdoor" enthusiasts so we really enjoyed the primitive aspect and quite nature.
This was our second stay at this amazing cabin and spectacular property! If you truly are an outdoor enthusiast whatever the weather and love exploring the woods and the amazing trails whether it’s walking or sledding THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!! The cabin was perfect to warm up and relax in and the bonuses of a sauna and hot tub were superb.. The best was laying on the frozen lake and looking up at stars . Such a surreal feeling! The owner Sara is amazing and so friendly so happy we got to meet her and thank her for sharing her cabin with us!! We are definitely looking forward to visiting many many more times!! Thank you again Sara for another amazing memory filled trip !!
our cabin stay was wonderful!! We sold our cabin last fall -so this was a great stay to be back in the woods. We saw lots of wildlife and the relaxation was great. We brought our blowup camping mattress ( as we didn't want to navigate the steps upstairs) I didnt mind the out house- but I did bring a camping potty for latet nights. The dogs loved to be able to swim up and down the shoreline. The hot tube was a relaxing addition to our stay. We will definitely come again-or if we bring more family - we might rent the other cabin you have. Thank you !!!

The customer service refused to refund my my booking amount dispite purchasing travel guard insurance through expedia. I thought I booked 2 nights, but it was just thr one. I tried to extend the stay, but they didnt have the additional night I needed. I tried cancelling within 5 hours of booking and the company refused to refund me.
We had a great time. Everything you would expect from a Minnesota Cabin. The lake was nice and caught several nice fish...we put them back so they're still in there. Dog loved it. Too hot for the hot tub but looked well kept and perfect for cooler weather. We'd go back again. Friendly neighbors/people passing by on the lake. There was one restaurant about 15 minutes away. Brought a George Foreman and that worked out nice for cooking. There was a grill but never used it/looked at it. Cabin/Outhouse was clean. The hill down to the cabin is sandy/washed out a bit but i have a jeep so this wasn't an issue...you'd need 4wheel drive to get all the way down to the cabin..but plenty of room to park/trailer at the top of the hill. Super fun!
This property was absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I were looking for a cozy fall getaway, and this cabin was exactly what we needed. Between the hot tub and the sauna, we stayed warm while enjoying the cool, crisp autumn air. One of our favorite moments was stargazing right from the hot tub — it was magical. We did notice that the jets turned off after a while and didn’t come back on, which might be a small malfunction, but it didn’t take away from the experience.Listening to the swans flap their wings and call out over the water was truly breathtaking. The cabin itself was perfect for taking in the view. We loved the setup — especially pulling the mattress down from the loft so we could relax and watch TV before bed. The Fire Stick made it so convenient to log into our streaming services.One tip for future guests: I’d recommend bringing a pair of “indoor” shoes, as there were quite a few Asian beetles that made their way inside. A few even crawled on me while I was sleeping!Reading the guest book and seeing stories from previous stays was heartwarming and made us even more excited to return. Thank you for sharing such a special space with us!
