    Our cabin’s location right on the beautiful Kettle River means you’ll be surrounded by nature’s charm—but Mother Nature can be unpredictable! During certain seasons, the river may flood, which could temporarily affect amenities like kayaking, the dock, or the volleyball area.

    Not to worry, though! We’re pros at adapting—volleyball can be set up closer to the house, and our indoor amenities like the sauna, games, and cozy fireplace always guarantee a fun and relaxing stay. The dock is safely removed during winter and will be back in place come spring (weather permitting).

    Winter: While the dock is removed for the season, enjoy winter adventures like snowmobiling, ice fishing, cozy evenings by the fire, and weekly events at local watering holes, including karaoke, live music, and meat raffles!

    If you’re unsure or have questions about the conditions during your stay, feel free to reach out—we’re here to make sure you have a great experience!

    We have put a lot of thought and detail into this home, and we are sure you will love it during your stay up north. If we missed anything or you have any questions, just shoot us a message!
