About this property

Beautiful Home just 25' from shoreline of Leech Lake just 5 minutes from Walker

Whether your dream vacation is boating, water sports, fishing, shopping and dining or reading a book on the shores of a beautiful Northern Minnesota lake you need look no further. This lake home provides the perfect setting for a family or several couples to take in fun filled days, relaxing evenings by the campfire, watching the sunset or dining at one of the area's great restaurants only minutes away. Walk 25 feet down to the dock and enjoy the beautiful sandy bottom beach, perfect for swimming and playing.

The house consists of an original red cedar log home with a kitchen, bath, bedroom, great room / dining room and a comfy loft with plenty of seating for relaxed gatherings. An addition was constructed in 2009 adding a full laundry, foyer, master bedroom suite with a gas fireplace and flat screen TV, walk-in shower and 2 guest bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs.

The home accommodates 8 people very comfortably. You'll find northwoods decor, leather furniture and the ambience and amenities you would expect in first rate 'Up North' home.

The location is perfect. A short walk and you are on the trail system. 3 miles from shopping in Walker and only 5 minutes from the area's finest dining at The Boulders. You'll find plenty to do in the city of Walker with the historic and beautifully rebuilt hotel Chase on the Lake, Reeds Sporting Goods, area restaurants and specialty shops to appeal to all.

The house is uniquely situated only a few feet from the shores of beautiful Kabekona Bay. Access to Walker Bay and Leech Lake is a quick 2 or 3 minute ride East across the Bay. Don't miss out on an experience you won't forget!

The house is only .3 miles from over 100 miles of trails for snowmobiling. Put your fish house (rentals available - just message us for info) out from the cabin on Kabekona Bay where the walleye fishing is waiting for you!

Perfect Ice Fishing Weekend
We had a great weekend in this cabin, it was equipped with everything we needed!!! Monica was fast to respond to all messages I sent her before, during, and after the trip. There was plenty of room for 8 adults for a long weekend getaway. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cabin to anyone.

Old Crony Annual Golf Outing
We have stayed at VRBO listed properties all over northern Mn lake country for years. There is finally unanimous consensus amongst 8-70 something Yr old dudes that we have found our "go to" for future events. The pics and description of this beauty are spot on. It is a majestic place. The "extras" as far as provisions provided however are above and beyond anything I have ever experienced in 35 yrs of renting vacation spots. Finally, Monica is professional, responsive and a delight to do business with.

Lovely Family Weekend
We had a wonderful long weekend with my family. There were 4 couples and each family was comfortable in their own room. The kitchen was easy to use and had all the tools and equip. that we needed so our meals were really nice too. There were good hang-out spaces for folks to take a break when the hustle and bustle of the larger group was tiring. It was a lovely family weekend and the location and house were just right for us. Thank you.

Snowmobile get away
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! We had 2 families with 4 adults and 5 teenagers. The cabin was spacious and well appointed. We enjoyed the close proximity to the snowmobile trail. It was a little tight getting the snowmobile trailers turned around in the yard. The owner was very quick to respond when we had trouble with the door lock and reset the code for us. Overall great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect family lake getaway
After having our own lake place for 20 years we had to give it up about 10 years ago as our parents aged. This was a chance to get our family together again for Labor Day at a gorgeous Minnesota lake and it exceeded all our expectations. A magical stay at a wonderful lake home.

This review is about a month late. But our trip this year was our extended families 3rd trip to this lovely cabin. I can’t say enuf about the location and the accommodations; Niki and Monica have a very wonderful location and cabin that they graciously share with their guests. We are so appreciative of them opening up this gem for the rest of us… We’ll be back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Monica McGill

Host profile image
The Point Cabin was purchased by our parents in 2000 after more than 15 years of staying at resorts on Leech Lake. Our parents restored the cabin to like-new condition and added on in 2008. Sadly, our mother passed away in 2010 and life took our father in a different direction. In 2018 we had the opportunity to purchase the family cabin. We look forward to not only our family continuing to make memories in our beloved home, but for your family to make lifelong memories here as well!

Why they chose this property

After vacationing in the Walker / Leech Lake area for many years, falling in love with the area and making many friends we decided we wanted to own a property here so that we could spend more time enjoying all that we had come to love. After much looking we chose a charming red cedar log “cabin”. It was a private refuge with a secluded, calm “up-north” feeling. Over the years we remodeled and finally added on in 2009 creating an amazing retreat. Life then took us in a different direction and we didn’t have the time to spend at the lake that we once had. We decided to maintain our family cabin and make it available to others as a remarkable rental property.

What makes this property unique

The Point Cabin, as we call it, is uniquely situated on a small point of Kabekona Bay affording incredible, panoramic views of this beautiful Northern Minnesota lake. You will enjoy a 180 degree view of the bay. A mere 25 feet from the water the cabin provides an intimacy with the lake that few other properties can. Less than 10 steps and you are on the dock. There is also a beautiful lawn to enjoy lawn games, a fire ring for the marshmallow roast or relaxing and telling your favorite Minnesota ghost stories. Cast a line from the dock, take a swim in the sand bottom swim area or read a book in the hammock. A short walk and you can access the area's trail system or rent a boat/jet ski and enjoy fishing or water sports on this protected bay. Prefer shopping or dining? The Point Cabin is located about 3 miles from downtown Walker and even closer to one of the area’s finest restaurants, Boulders (Reservations recommended!). Whatever you decide to do on your vacation, this is the place to do it.
