About this property

Cabin with outdoor hot tub and view of Second Lake!

This sweet little modern log cabin is just 2 miles off of interstate I-35! 100 miles north of the Twin Cities and 50 miles south of Duluth. The is the perfect place to lose yourself for a week or weekend to find relaxation! Second Lake is a 44 acre private (no public access), serene, quiet lake with a spectacular view from anywhere on the lake. The cabin presents 2 bedrooms one with queen bed, one with full size bed. Full kitchen (no dishwasher) and full bath. Extras include free onsite washer and dryer, cable tv, and wireless internet! Enjoy a spacious camp fire area for those chilly, minnesota nights, and our outdoor hot tub for the even chillier ones! Lake is visible from cabin although there is no lake access or swimming area. Although at the cabin, there is a little trail that leads to a dock... the dock is not practical for use. To access the lake, you would have a short 4 minute walk down a pretty wooded driveway! There you would find paddle boat, canoe and row boat to use. We have four adult size life jackets available.

We cannot allow pets.
Complimentary Kettle River Pizza included with each stay!



Amenities –

Hot and cold running well water - the water in this location is naturally very high in iron. Even with the extensive water filtering systems installed in the cabin, the water can (not always) have a iron tinge to it and can (not always) have a sulfur odor. The refrigerator dispenses water (although slowly).

Heated cabin

Central air

Full kitchen (sorry, no dishwasher) Fridge has water and ice dispenser. This water does come out of the dispenser SLOW, but the water is very good!


Wi-fi

Full bathroom

Cable tv

Bedroom with queen size bed

Bedroom with full size bed

Futon in living room - not the most comfortable to sleep on!

Washer and dryer - we ask that when you leave, all bed linens (sheets and pillow cases) have been placed in the washer and the washing machine started. If there are two loads (it is a large washer), the second load needs to be in the washer and the washer started. This will eliminate our cleaning staff from handling soiled laundry. Thank you!

Hot tub - Please note, that there is always the chance that the hot tub may need to be serviced before or on rare occasions, during your stay. It can happen that, after inspecting the hot tub when guests check out, we need to empty it, clean it and then refill before the next guests can enjoy. It could happen that the water may not be up to temp by the time the next guest arrives later that day. This does not happen very often, but the possibility is there. Also, if there are several people staying at the cabin, or if the stay is more than two days, we may need to check the treatment levels during your stay. If so, we try to do it while you are away from the cabin so as to not disturb your time there. We do not need to enter the cabin to do this. Though these situations may be inconvenient to guests, it is necessary.

Lake - Although you can see the lake...please note that this property does not have direct access to the lake. You will need take a short walk down a wooded drive to access the water.

Cozy Cabin

This is our 2nd time staying here and we loved it just as much as the first time! The hot tub was wonderful and clean. Location is great! Far enough way to feel secluded but not too far for a quick weekend getaway. Will come back again!

Great relaxing stay

My wife and I stayed here and really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. The fire pit and hot tub were a great way to relax and get away from our day to day lives. The frozen pizza was a great bonus to not have to think about dinner one night as well!

Lovely Cozy Cabin

We loved this place. Beautiful location for a winter weekend stay. The cabin was cozy and had everything in the kitchen that we needed. The included Kettle River pizza was delicious! We enjoyed walking around the lake and then warming up in the hot tub. Hosts were super responsive in the booking process. Definitely would go back.

Exactly as described/photographed. Central air, wi fi, hot tub- but in the secluded wilderness. Loons and herons on the lake. Other lakes nearby if this one is too small for your tastes.

Great place

The cabin is perfect as a base camp for our ice fishing trip. There are ample outlets to charge electronics and just enough room to hang gear to dry. The hot tub was a great place to warm up at the end of the day. Lisa was flexible with the check in and out process. Thank you for a great place!

Quiet and relaxing cabin

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Hot tub was a wonderful way to end each day. Close to Munger trail for awesome bike riding. Cabin was clean with everything I needed. Pizza was so extra surprise as a welcoming gift from owners. I would certainly consider coming back again.

Great cabin with hot tub

Our host, Lisa, was great to work with. Very responsive to communication! She even left us a little gift as we were celebrating our anniversary. ❤️ The location was great, felt remote but close to the interstate for easy access to other areas. My favorite thing was the hot tub which we used every day!! My only suggestion is to make sure the grill is clean. When we went to use it, it needed a lot of work to get it clean to use. The cabin itself was very clean!!
