I cannot say enough good things about our stay in Federal dam

Shannon and Randy were great hosts, they clearly wanted us to have a good time (and we had a great time). The Crappie Cabin was clean, warm and very cute. Randy is a fishing guide, and although he had other clients booked for this weekend, he encouraged us to fish along side with him, free of change. Randy put us on the fish, and the fishing was really good. We will be booking another stay with them next year because we had such a good time!

Everything You Need!!!

If you have the opportunity to book this cabin, don't hesitate! Simply relax! Without TV! You have everything you need! Bathroom, small kitchen with fridge and microwave, separate bedroom, sitting area. Everything there! Super clean! And it's so cozy! If you have no problem with a bunk bed and can climb a bit, then go for it! Two people could sleep in the bottom bunk if need be. Cpt. Randy is the world's best host! Just call him! We had a great time and would have loved to stay longer!

Quaint Respite

So darn cute, we absolutely loved the porch of this place! Randy is such a congenial host, aiming to make all feel welcome. Comfortable space with just the right amenities in the tiny cabin. We'd love to come back again with friends, go fishing & have Randy do one of his fish fries!

Wonderful Weekend Away!

Before we even arrived the hosts were so helpful and welcoming! The Crappie cabin was such a nice little home away from home and we enjoyed getting to know the hosts and making new friends! Wonderful place to stay and highly recommend!

Wow! Where do I start, such a lovely experience inside and out! The hosts were beyond my wildest expectations and extraordinary, lifelong friendships were made. The fishing is top tier if you’re searching for such, but I would stay for the conversations and campfires. We WILL be back again, the locals are amazing and it’s such a lovely atmosphere. I only wish I could thank our hosts more!

Overall

The listing had "waterfront" in the listing which is what I really wanted - to go out of the door and enjoy a waterfront and not have to drive to get to the waterfront. I should have reviewed more closely. The hard water made things smell which is normal but taking a shower was uncomfortable with the condition of the water. The shower curtain needs to be washed. I brought all of my own food, plates and utensils and am glad I did.

Anniversary getaway

Quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of home/work. Randy and Shannon were available to answer any questions that popped up and brought us out for excellent fishing and a fish fry after. For a no fuss unplugged retreat Last Cast Adventure is a must!

Remote Getaway on the lake

We had a delightful time on our trip to Leech Lake! Randy and Shannon were both very hospitable and knowledgeable of the area. Our cabin had everything we needed and was cutely decorated with an overall fishing theme. The Last Cast boat lounge in the yard was an amazing bonus! The location is surrounded by pristine national forest and beautiful lakes and wetlands. Lots of great memories were had.

Rustic and quaint cabin…we really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the area!

We went atving in the area exploring the forests around Federal Dam. You can jump on a trail that’s nearby or trailer to a trailhead. Either way works. The cabin gave us a relaxing place to come back to every day after riding! We also enjoyed the visits with our hosts. They are great people!
