Large outside area!

We went in Dec so we did not do anything outside. If you have children the outside yard and being right on the lake would be ideal.

Gorgeous Sunsets!

We stayed at this beautiful property as we are bikers and wanted something close to the trails. This location is right on the Paul Bunyan trail. After biking, we were able to enjoy the dock and swimming was great! The sunsets were gorgeous! The cabin had everything we needed as well for the week.

Beautiful Spot and Great Location

This cabin is as beautiful as the pictures in the posting and the sunsets even more gorgeous and breath-taking than photos can show. Right on the lake, it is quiet and lovely. The home is right on one of the major bike trails, giving access to miles of trails either way from Walker. The place is a short drive into Walker where there are restaurants, stores and groceries. It is about 1/2 hour from Itaska State park as well. Truly a great experience.

Very nice week

The property, the lakefront location, the fire pit, the proximity to everything are worth the price. We had perfect fall weather, and the colors were near prime. We really appreciated the location for our needs. The bathrooms are updated and nice, the cabin is cozy but dated in some areas. Great spot for privacy and lake front access for a boat and access to Leech Lake fishing. Dock set up is very nice but also needs some updating for next season.

A piece of heaven

The week we were there we experienced all of Minnesota weather conditions. We enjoyed the bike path the fishing the 4 wheeler trails. I agree with the previous review. Home is very nice but could use some updating especially the dock getting a bit rickety. Over all we love this place and always enjoy our time there

Wonderful lake home

This is the perfect place to stay for a family vacation at the lake! Lots of yard space and very private location. Our children really enjoyed catching many small fish near the dock. Clean and nicely decorated space along with comfortable beds for our family of 4. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for cooking meals. We used the bike trial to ride into Walker on several occasions (only a 20 minute ride). We would definitely return to stay at this vacation home again!!

We just continue enjoying this rental. Super nice upgrades to the bathrooms

Everything is very handy. One suggestion wools be to upgrade gas grill It works but has its quirks. Even with the unstable weather we had this week we were able to fish hike bike and 4 wheeler ride all the things we love about this area. Thanks

Travis & Tia's place

1. Kabekona Bay was fairly quiet even on 4th of July week. Great water depth for our boat...nice landing nearby...easy to keep boat safe at the dock. Nice yard and huge driveway. 2. There are firearms on the property - some as decor...some chained up with a bike lock. Unsettling if you brought youngsters...or if you've had gun-related trauma. I have no issues with gun ownership, but wish they were locked in a safe in a rental property. Bottom drawer of oven filled with rodent killer and a foul odor. Deck boards rotten in several locations. Zero smoke detectors were working (no batteries) when we arrived. We added batteries. We had to replace some burned out lightbulbs (there were some on site, which was nice). Master bed is very, very soft. Mattress is so thick, the sheets don't stay on. There are 7 dinner plates and 3 steak knives. No pizza pan or cookie sheets. Really nice knives, mixer, and pots/pans, though. 1960's wallpaper, cabinetry, and gross carpet in the kitchen. 3. Convenient check in/check out and great communication. We had a nice stay, but some improvements need to be made to the property (safety, docks, carpet).

Autumn getaway

This is a beautiful property right on the shore of Leech Lake. There are wonderful views of the lake. The home is very close to Walker and has neighbors close by but feels quite private. We hiked at nearby Itasca State Park and enjoyed the northern lights on both nights of our stay!

Great location and privacy

We enjoyed our week staying at this cabin. The location, property and lake were great. We spent a lot of time sitting on the patio enjoying the lake view. The cabin was nice especially the remodeled bathrooms. My only complaint is that the cabin had a lot of carpet and it was very stained especially in the kitchen and living room. It made it feel dirty.

About the host

Hosted by Travis Senenfelder

Host profile image
Originally from Walker, we now live in Minneapolis but come up to the cabin as much as we can. You just can't recreate the good vibes of small town Northern Minnesota. This home is our haven - a true place to relax, rejuvenate and create lifelong memories with family and friends. We hope your stay here will do the same!

Why they chose this property

Leech Lake is a big and wonderful lake. A real gem and one of Minnesota's largest lakes. But with the home on the smaller, more calm-watered Kabekona Bay, you can have the best of both worlds. Quick, easy access to world-renowned Walleye fishing or a lovely day of swimming in the bay. It's perfect for our family and doing all the activities we love...fishing, swimming, evening boat rides, lakeshore lunches. Kabekona Bay is known for its breathtaking sunsets! It also offers a quieter bay that is directly connected to Walker Bay!
