Hackensack Reunion Cabin on Pleasant Lake: big-water fun, two docks, and space for the whole crew. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com large group listing partner since 2020!

Cabintimers, this one’s built for gatherings. On the sunny north shore of Pleasant Lake in Hackensack, Hackensack Reunion Cabin sleeps up to 18 with six bedrooms and two baths. Pets are considered, there’s a sandy swim area with a raft, and you’ll have two docks plus an optional pontoon rental—a rare combo that keeps everyone on the water from sunrise to s’mores. Weekly Sunday–Sunday stays keep check-in smooth for large families. (rentminnesotacabins.com)

Inside and out, the cabin is dialed for groups: three queens, five doubles, two twins, and a crib; a huge deck setup that seats around 30 people for meals; and a 16-foot burn pit just off the shoreline for those long Northern nights. Anglers get a fish-cleaning station, fish fryer, and grills; winter folks get a heated garage for thawing gear (and a comfy TV corner for the game). There’s also a paddle boat and a kayak waiting at the beach.

Why Cabintimers love this spot

Bring the boats, the ATVs, and the snowmobiles—this property is ready year-round. Two docks accommodate up to three boats, and Pleasant Lake is known for sandy bottoms and classic Northwoods scenery. When you book directly with the owners, you skip service fees and unlock local know-how about where to fish, float, and find the best ice-cream cones. (rentminnesotacabins.com)

Explore the Leech Lake area

Ten minutes down the road in Walker, you can launch adventures on Leech Lake or try your luck at Northern Lights Casino. Prefer pedaling? Hop on the paved Paul Bunyan State Trail for miles of smooth riding through forests, lakes, and wetlands. In town, stretch your legs at the lakefront park on Birch Lake and snap the must-do photo with the 17-foot Lucette Diana Kensack statue.

For deeper woods and wildlife, day-trip into Chippewa National Forest for hiking, birding, and fall-color cruises. In winter, this whole corner of the North Country lights up with hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails, and the cabin’s heated garage makes staging easy.

Hockett Hollow on Buchanan Lake: Bring the Crew, Spread Out, and Soak Up Otter Tail County. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2020!

Some cabins just feel like they were built for Cabintimers. Hockett Hollow in Ottertail, Minnesota is one of them — a monitor-style barn duplex set on 14 acres with 200+ feet of shoreline on Buchanan Lake. What sets this place apart right away? A massive ~6,000 sq. ft. heated lower level that doubles as a rainy-day play zone, plus a private sand beach with a paddle boat waiting at the water’s edge. Add in two custom fire pits with handmade Adirondack chairs, and your evenings are basically spoken for.

Inside, the home is spacious and easy to settle into: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sleeping space for up to 10. The kitchen is set up like you actually live here — stainless appliances (dishwasher included), custom knotty alder cabinetry, and place settings for the whole crew. There’s bar-height seating for ten and an extra living room above the entry when folks want to spread out with a book, cards, or a late-night movie. You’ll appreciate the practical perks too: in-home washer/dryer, central air, Wi-Fi, and a 16×12 deck with a gas grill and picnic tables for lunch right off the lake.

Step outside and choose your vibe. Follow the nature trail through prairie grass down to the beach for paddling and swimming, bring your fishing gear for time on Buchanan Lake, or rent the onsite pontoon for a lazy afternoon cruise. When the sun dips, rotate between the two fire pits — one near the beach, one closer to the cabin — and pass around s’mores under a sky full of stars. Cabintimers planning a summer stay will love the simple weekly rhythm of lake life here; winter brings its own fun with nearby snowmobile trails and cozy nights by the fire.

Ottertail puts you near a cluster of small towns and classic Minnesota experiences. Perham is about nine miles away for coffee, boutiques, and local events; Battle Lake is your gateway to Glendalough State Park — nine miles of hiking and a peaceful trail loop ideal for biking and wildlife spotting. Maplewood State Park delivers sweeping hilltop views over kettle lakes and is a favorite for fall color drives, horseback riding, and miles of year-round trails. Golfers can tee it up at Thumper Pond right in Ottertail or play Balmoral on Otter Tail Lake — both are local staples. However you fill the day, you’ll be back at Hockett Hollow in time for golden-hour shoreline and crackling campfire chatter.

A quick note for Cabintimers who care about value: book directly with the owner/manager to steer clear of third-party fees and get real local insight. That’s the Cabintime way — no middleman, more money for bait, cones, and a round after golf.

Ready to start a new lake tradition? Search availability and reach out to the owner to book direct and save. Your crew — and your future self — will thank you.

Lake Sullivan Cabin: 145 Feet of Private Shoreline, a Billiards Barn, and Sunsets for Days. Now Taking Direct Bookings Through RentMinnesotaCabins.com!

Cabintimers, if “lake time” means swimming off your own dock, playing a quick game of 8-ball between grilling sessions, and capping the day with a sunset from a screened-in porch (with its own bar), this Minnesota Lake Sullivan Cabin hits the sweet spot. The fully remodeled main level and kitchen make cooking easy, the big deck begs for long conversations, and the detached game room with a slate pool table keeps the fun rolling after dark. With three bedrooms plus a loft (sleeps 9), two baths, central A/C, a 65″ Smart TV, and a Nintendo 64 for throwback nights, it’s set up for family gatherings and fishing weekends alike. Two kayaks are available to rent, and there’s a large private dock for your boat.

This place sits on 145 feet of private shoreline on clear, fishy Lake Sullivan—about two hours from Minneapolis—so your days can be as relaxed or as active as you want. The lake spans roughly 1,221 acres with depths to about 55 feet and connects to Platte Lake via the Platte River, opening up even more water to explore. Anglers appreciate the walleye and panfish scene, and paddlers love the calm morning water for sunrise laps along the shore.

Inside, the sleeping setup is trip-friendly: two king beds, one queen, and a queen futon in the loft. Coffee is covered with a full kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, blender), plus there’s a minibar with an extra fridge for beverages and bait. A screened porch with seating and a bar keeps bugs at bay while you cheer on the cornhole champs in the yard. And yes—there’s no Wi-Fi here. Hotspots work with major carriers, but the real invitation is to unplug: more dock time, more stories around the gas fireplace, more cribbage in the porch.

When you’re ready to roam, you’re a short drive from some of Minnesota’s most loved outdoor playgrounds. Mountain bikers and gravel riders can chase “red gold” flow at Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, where 50+ miles of singletrack weave around aqua-blue mine lakes—bring cameras and your sense of adventure. In winter, fat-tire riding continues on groomed trails. (Minnesota DNR)

Prefer big-lake beaches and fishing piers? Father Hennepin State Park on Mille Lacs has a sandy swim beach, easy shoreline access, and room to picnic after a morning on the water. Mille Lacs shines year-round too—ice fishing, dark-house spearing for northerns, snowshoe laps, and cocoa by the warming house make winter feel downright festive.

If the forecast calls for a rest day, cruise into Little Falls to wander the Minnesota Fishing Museum & Hall of Fame—thousands of artifacts celebrate a deep tradition of time spent on the water. It’s a fun stop for anglers of every generation. (Minnesota Fishing Museum)

A few local tips from the Lake Sullivan side of the county line: sunrise tends to be glassy for paddling; the mid-day bite often pushes deeper on sunny days; and evening swims off the dock are hard to beat after a day on the trail or on Mille Lacs. Lake Sullivan sits in northeast Morrison County near Hillman and Harding, with Platte Lake just a quick boat ride through the river connection—so you’ve got options when winds pick up or you’re scouting new structure. (Lake Sullivan)

Who’s this cabin perfect for? Families who crave easy water access and a kid-approved game room. Anglers chasing walleye and panfish with room to spread out gear. Biking crews aiming for Cuyuna laps, then back-porch beverages. And any group that appreciates a little digital detox—more lakeshore, fewer notifications.

Why book direct.

Ready to plan? Book directly with the owner/manager through the rental website to skip service fees, skip the middleman, and tap into local expertise about the lake and nearby trails. That’s the It’s Cabin Time® way—more value for your stay and more dollars kept local.

Big Lake Wilderness Lodge: Remote Road-In Cabins, Classic Ely Fishing, and BWCA Day Trips. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2015!

Big Lake Wilderness Lodge: Remote Road-In Cabins, Classic Ely Fishing, and BWCA Day Trips. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2015!

Cabintimers who crave quiet water, big pines, and star-splattered skies—Big Lake Wilderness Lodge near Ely, Minnesota delivers the full Northwoods package. This is a true “road-in” outpost wrapped by Superior National Forest and within easy paddle distance of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. You roll in, switch off, and start counting loons instead of unread emails.

Why Big Lake works for Cabintimers

Big Lake spans about 1,800 acres with 14 islands and a maze of bays and inlets. The Minnesota DNR rates it as a standout walleye fishery, with regular action for northern pike, smallmouth bass, and perch. With no motor-size restrictions and a convenient public launch, you can bring your own boat or rent on site. Even better, canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, and stand-up paddleboards are complimentary—so the morning glide is literally built into your stay.

Families get easy wins here. Little ones splash at the wading beach, older kids bounce on the water trampoline, and everyone winds down with board games on gray-sky afternoons. The lodge team shares fresh fishing reports, route ideas, and local tips that make planning a breeze.

Cabins, specials, and boat perks

Cabins line up for couples, families, and friend groups, with wooded views and quick access to the docks. Watch for seasonal specials that stretch the budget: a free pontoon is included with weekly stays in select cabins (Horizon, Call of the Loon, or Vermilion), and there’s a popular “Family & Friends” bundle that pairs Greenstone + Vermilion for one weekly rate—complete with a pontoon and a boat/motor. These promos are cabin-specific and run during the 2025–2026 season, so Cabintimers planning a summer week should lock dates early.

If you’re building a fish-first itinerary, the watercraft lineup covers everything from 14–16′ fishing boats up to 18–21′ pontoons, plus upgraded rigs with live wells, fish finders, and trolling motors. Gas and tax are extra, life jackets are included, and dock space for personal boats is available.

Boundary Waters day trips made simple

You don’t have to stage a full wilderness expedition to taste the BWCA. From Big Lake, you can paddle easy to moderate day routes and be back for fish fry o’clock. The resort offers partial canoe outfitting—lightweight Kevlar canoes, paddles, PFDs—and can assist with drop-offs to surrounding BWCA entry points. Ask about current discounts at the edges of the season and the free drop within 10 miles on longer rentals. It’s a savvy way to test a route before planning a multi-night loop.

Pet policy and dates

Quiet, well-behaved pets are welcome with a nightly or weekly fee and must stay leashed around the resort. Service dogs are welcome, including retired service dogs, and only service dogs may enter the lodge. Summer operations run mid-May through early October for 2026, which lines up perfectly with peak fishing and paddling conditions.

Nearby things to do in Ely

Ely is small but stuffed with field-guide energy. Build a day in town around these favorites:

  • International Wolf Center – education, exhibits, and a chance to learn from the pros.
  • North American Bear Center – up-close insights into one of the Northwoods’ icons.
  • Dorothy Molter Museum – stories from the legendary “Root Beer Lady” on Knife Lake.
  • Soudan Underground Mine State Park – descend into Minnesota’s mining past.
  • Trails like Bass Lake (with a scenic waterfall), Angleworm, and the Sioux-Hustler system offer berry picking, birding, and broad-shouldered overlooks.

Trip-planning tips

  • Aim for shoulder weeks (late May–early June, or late Aug–early Oct) for cooler nights, lower bugs, and strong walleye action.
  • Bring binoculars—the aurora puts in surprise appearances on clear, dark nights.
  • Ask the lodge for current bait recommendations, lake maps, and which bays are hot this week. Their on-the-water intel beats any forum thread.

Book direct and keep your dollars local

Skip third-party fees and algorithms. Contact Big Lake Wilderness Lodge directly for the best cabin fit, up-to-date availability, and local insights you won’t get from a call center. Direct booking means no service fees, no middleman, and real conversations with the folks who live and fish here.

Rent Your Own Peninsula on North Long Lake: Robison Point is a Big Win for Cabintimers. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner.

Rent Your Own Peninsula on North Long Lake: Robison Point is a Big Win for Cabintimers. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner.

Cabintimers, this is the kind of Minnesota lake stay that sticks with you. Robison Point sits at the very tip of Ovig’s Point in Merrifield Bay on North Long Lake, just up the road from Brainerd/Baxter and Nisswa. You’re renting a peninsula. Water on three sides. Sunrise coffee on one dock. Sunset casting on the other.

Why Robison Point works for your crew

Space that makes sense. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin sleeps up to nine. One bedroom upstairs with a bath that features a freestanding tub. Two bedrooms and a second bath on the main level. AC units keep things cool. Wi‑Fi supports remote work or a streamed movie night.

Kid‑friendly shoreline. The swim dock sits over a hard‑sand bottom with steps into about three feet of water and a ladder for repeat cannonballs. The second dock sits on the drop‑off where the depth falls fast. It’s a known fishing spot. Boats often pause to cast right off the point.

Pet‑friendly. Dogs are welcome with an additional refundable deposit. The quiet backroad in and the ring of yard chairs make easy play space for people and pups.

Gather‑and‑graze layout. The open kitchen, dining, and living area sits under a vaulted pine ceiling. There’s a kitchen island with stools, a big dining table, and a leather sectional. The kitchen is ready for real meals: electric range, two full‑size refrigerators, microwave, toaster, blender, stand mixer, Keurig, cookware, and plenty of utensils.

Outside is the main event. Wood deck with picnic table and umbrella. Gas grill with propane provided. Fire pit with a pile of free firewood. Adirondack chairs and loungers to orbit the shoreline all day.

Wildlife soundtrack. Expect loons, eagles, osprey, fox, otter, deer, and summer fireflies. Stay a week and you’ll hear or spot a bunch of them.

Straightforward weekly stays. Book Saturday to Saturday during peak season. Secure your week with a deposit. Short‑term rental license on file with Crow Wing County.

Where you’ll play around Brainerd Lakes

On the water. North Long Lake has room for everything: paddling at sunrise, tubing by lunch, and evening trolling along the breaks. Launch across Merrifield Bay. If you bring bikes, roll out to the Paul Bunyan State Trail for a smooth ride into Nisswa or Brainerd.

On the dirt. Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area sits east in Crosby. Red dirt singletrack. Clear mine lakes. Paddleboards and mountain bikes rent easily in town. The Pillsbury State Forest offers shady hiking and birding.

Up in the trees. Brainerd Zip Line Tour near Gull Lake delivers sky‑bridge views and big‑line runs.

Classic family stops. Nisswa’s Turtle Races on summer Wednesdays make for goofy bragging rights. Paul Bunyan Land adds kitschy photo ops and rides. Mini golf, go‑karts, candy shops, and ice cream are close at hand.

Golf and more. The Brainerd Lakes area is golf‑rich. Public tracks range from casual 9‑hole loops to resort courses. When the sun goes down, find live music patios and local breweries.

Winter flips the script. North Long Lake becomes an ice fishing town. Snowmobile routes thread through the forest. Mount Ski Gull spins lifts for downhill turns and tubing.

Good‑to‑know cabin details

• 3BR/2BA; up to 9 guests. 1,328 sq ft.

• Two docks: one for swimming over hard‑sand bottom; one for fishing at the drop‑off.

• AC units plus strong Wi‑Fi and cable TV/Blu‑ray.

• Fully equipped kitchen with two refrigerators and small appliances.

• Pack‑’n‑Play available by request.

• Gas grill, deck seating, Adirondack chairs, and lakeside fire pit with free firewood.

Book direct for better cabin time

Skip third‑party fees. Speak with the owner. Get straight answers on boat rentals, the best launch, and where the walleye are biting. Robison Point takes Saturday‑to‑Saturday summer bookings and opens future calendars early. Hit the inquiry button on the property site to lock in your week.

West Leaf Lake Cabins: Cozy Cove on West Leaf Lake in Ottertail, MN. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com Listing Partner Since 2017!

Cabintimers, meet your West Leaf Lake basecamp. If you’ve been searching for West Leaf Lake cabins or comparing Ottertail MN vacation rentals, this two-cabin setup hits the sweet spot for families and fishing crews. Cozy Cove Cabins sits on a peaceful shoreline in Ottertail, Minnesota, with a classic Main Cabin and a remodeled Guest Cabin that make group trips easy. Morning coffee on the screen porch, kids chasing sunfish off the dock, an evening fire crackling—this spot brings back the good stuff without the hassle.

Why Cabintimers love this lake place (West Leaf Lake cabins perks)

You get 200 feet of private shoreline on a quiet corner of West Leaf Lake in Otter Tail County. Among West Leaf Lake cabins, Cozy Cove stands out for its private dock, boat lift, and easy launch into lily-fringed water. Launch from the private dock and boat lift for a lazy cruise through cattails and water lilies, or cast for bluegill and bass right from shore. Yard games on the wide grassy lawn turn into friendly family tournaments, and the recliner lawn chairs in the shade are undefeated when it’s time to read, birdwatch, or nap. Watch for eagles and osprey overhead—bring binoculars.

Inside, the Main Cabin keeps its classic 1950s wood-plank charm, but the kitchen, bath, and living areas have been refreshed so you can focus on lake time. For Cabintimers comparing Ottertail MN vacation rentals, the Main + Guest Cabin combo means grandparents, friends, or teens can spread out without losing that together-at-the-lake vibe. Two bedrooms plus an enclosed lakeside porch give you a comfy setup for up to five, and the dining room handles a full table spread for eight. Need more elbow room? The Guest Cabin adds a large bedroom, bath, and a handy kitchenette on the enclosed porch—perfect for early risers or grandparents who want their own quiet corner.

Yes, pups may be considered. The property is non-smoking and family-friendly. Minimum stays apply, and weekly bookings are popular during the warm months.

Easy days, easy nights

Start with a slow paddle or a sunrise boat ride. A public sand beach sits about a mile away for splashy afternoons, and the on-site fish-cleaning station is ready for tonight’s fry-up. Evenings belong to the charcoal grill, picnic table, and that crackling firepit under a sky full of stars.

Nearby wanderings for curious Cabintimers

This slice of Minnesota stacks the day-trip deck:

  • Otter Trail Scenic Byway – A loop through wetlands, prairies, and more than 1,000 lakes. Windows down, playlists up.
  • Phelps Mill – Historic stonework and photogenic river views, about a half-hour drive. Pack a sandwich.
  • Glendalough State Park – Crystal-clear lakes, bike loops, and quiet trails that hum with loons.
  • Maplewood State Park – Rolling hardwood hills and overlooks; in fall, it’s a color riot.
  • Ottertail, Battle Lake, and Perham – Small-town strolls, coffee stops, bait shops, galleries, and the kind of diners that still pour a second cup without asking.

The book-direct advantage (book direct Minnesota cabins)

When you book direct Minnesota cabins, you avoid service fees, get fast answers, and tap into local expertise.

Lutsen Little Bear Lodge: A North Shore basecamp with Lake Superior views, trail access, and serious cabin vibes. A RentMinnesotaCabins.com listing member since 2019!

Cabintimers, meet your new favorite hideout on Lutsen Mountain. Lutsen Little Bear Lodge is a modern post-and-beam cabin tucked among the pines with treetop views that sweep toward Lake Superior. You’re up in the hills, away from the crowds, yet minutes from the action. It’s the sweet spot for anyone who wants fresh air by day and a quiet fire by night.

Screenshot

Location is the power move here. The cabin sits less than two miles from Lutsen Mountains, Superior Hiking Trail access, Superior National Golf Course, North Shore Winery, Sawtooth Cider House, and several dining options. Roll out for first chair, wander to a trailhead, or coast over for a tasting when the alpenglow hits the ridgeline. That “close to everything, far from everyone” balance is hard to beat on the North Shore.

Inside, the layout is built for together time. The open great room gathers folks around the fire after ski laps or shoreline hikes. Step onto the deck for star-sprinkled skies and, when conditions line up, a shot at some auroral shimmer. With three bedrooms and two baths sleeping up to eight, Little Bear works for families, trail crews, or a couple of couples who travel well together. Pets are welcome, too—well-behaved four-legged trail buddies can join the trip for a simple per-visit fee.

Travel math that makes sense: weekday stays start at $179 and weekends from $199, plus cleaning and tax. Book direct with the owners to keep it simple and save around 6%—no extra service fees and you get local intel straight from the source. That’s exactly how Cabintimers prefer it.

What can you get up to here? Start with skiing and riding at Lutsen Mountains, the largest lift-served terrain in the Midwest. In summer and fall, trade planks for pedals on Jackpot/High Climber MTB trails or hike Oberg Mountain for a wide-angle shot of lake and forest. The Superior Hiking Trail threads the hills, waterfalls roar after rains, and the shoreline serves up agates and black-sand coves. When you need town time, Grand Marais is an easy cruise for galleries, pie, and a harbor walk.

Winter flips the script in the best way. Ski laps, then explore Nordic networks, snowshoe routes, frozen falls, and dog-sled tours. On deep-cold nights, step out onto the deck and listen to the forest crackle. North Shore winters are crisp, bright, and addictive.

Food and sips? Pour a flight at North Shore Winery, try local cider, and keep an eye out for wood-fired pizza nights. Back at the cabin, a full kitchen means easy breakfasts before the gondola, trail-snack assembly lines, and late suppers after sunset hikes.

Ready to lock in a stay? Visit the Lutsen Little Bear Lodge listing and book directly with the owners—no middleman, no extra fees, just fast answers and real local advice. Cabintimers know: direct is better on the wallet and smarter for planning.
