About this property

Classic Lakeside Log Cabin with Panoramic Views ... Fish, Swim, Relax!

The charm, comfort, and beautiful setting of our vintage Northwoods log cabin will make your cares melt away. Our cabin sits so close to the water, you'll feel like you're floating on stunning Lake Wabedo. Inside the home, you're treated to comfortable furnishings, a well-appointed kitchen, and amazing views of the lake from nearly every room in the house; outside, you're literally steps away from swimming, paddling, and world-class fishing

What will you do with your day? Watch the sky turn early-morning pink over the lake without even leaving your bed. Enjoy your coffee from the lakeside deck in the company of the many birds that visit our feeders. Perhaps you'll head out in the canoe to visit Fish Island, or explore the winding channel that connects Lake Wabedo to Little Boy Lake. Bring or rent a boat and fish the waters of them both, nearly 2,600 acres total, and reel in everything from panfish to walleye to trophy-sized muskie (of course, fishing's not bad from our dock either). Enjoy a cool drink and watch the kids swim off the dock.. In the evening, take in the sunset from the deck and listen to the ghostly call of the loons.

Should the weather be inclement, no worries--our cabin has a spacious open floor plan, and everything in it has been carefully chosen with comfort and relaxation in mind. There's plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to hang out and watch a movie, play a game, or just enjoy the company of good friends and family.

Feel the need to get out? Visit one of many charming nearby towns, including Longville, just a few miles away and home to world-famous turtle races! Play some putt-putt at Birdie's in Longville. Try your luck at the Northern Lights Casino in Walker. Hike or bike the many local trails, and visit Deep Portage Conservation Reserve for a variety of outdoor activities and classes.

Whatever you choose, the backdrop for it all is the calling loons, towering pines, and lapping waters of Lake Wabedo. You will leave feeling rested, rejuvenated . . . and eager to come back

Wabedo Vacation

The property was great! The family and I had a nice time there and can’t wait to come back again. Fishing off the dock was excellent, everyone caught something. It was also close to town for any needed supplies but the house was stocked nicely.

Sister Time

It was a perfect visit. We booked the cabin for 4 weeks. My sister and I have a lot of family memories up in the area, and we found the cabin to be a sanctuary we needed to relax, enjoy the woods, the solitude, the beauty of fall and the sunsets. Kirk and Shannon, the hosts have done an amazing job of making the cabin cozy and welcoming. In addition, it was very well stocked with whatever spices, staples, condiments that would be needed, and pretty much anything else that might be needed for a relaxing stay in the north woods. I very highly recommend staying at this cabin, and we will definitely be rebooking for next year.

Great, authentic, classic cabin with modern amenities like AC, streaming TV, grill, etc. View is tremendous sitting on a small hill at lakeside. Wabedo is also a great fishing lake, especially for smallmouth bass. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!

Wabedo Escape

This was the 4th time i have stayed in this cabin and I feel lucky to have randomly found the property on VRBO a few years ago. It has everything you need for a great northwoods experience. Great old school cabin with wonderful views of the lake. Nice back deck overlooking the lake. Awesome fire pit. I have had great fishing everytime I have been to Wabedo Lake. Kids can catch pan fish off the dock all day long . The neighbors are friendly and might share some fishing tips with you.There are kayaks and a canoe that we used as well. It is a fun paddle to Little Boy Lake. The channel connecting to Little Boy is like an aquarium and the bird watching is great . Kirk, the host, goes above and beyond responding to questions. I plan on coming back again next summer.

Relaxing Week

We are repeat visitors to Wabedo Cabin since 2012. We had great weather and great fishing. Everything is always so comfortable and the Busters are the best at making sure everything is perfect. The log cabin has anything you might need so you don’t need to worry if you forget anything. Longville has some quaint shops and a great coffee shop and ice cream shop. The cabin is close for day trips to Walker or Bemidji or Grand Rapids. We’ll be back again.

Fall, fishing trip

This cabin was great. Nice location on lake and view. Kitchen and pantry was well stocked. we really enjoyed all of the rustic features. The only issue we had was pulling the boat and trailer onto the property. I have an 18 foot bass style boat and it took me forever to turn it around. I wouldn’t suggest a 21 footer.

Always enjoyable

We are repeat visitors to Wabedo cabin. Always relaxing. Everything you possibly could need is there. We primarily fish, but enjoy the scenery, wildlife, visiting town to have ice cream, etc. The old time log cabin feel is perfect and yet you have modern conveniences. It is the perfect quiet get away for complete relaxation. Kirk and Shannon do a great job. We’ll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Kirk Buster

Host profile image
I grew up in northern Minnesota, just a couple of hours east of our cabin. I have so many fond memories of fishing with my dad and brother, camping with the family, hiking with Boy Scouts and exploring with friends. When I got married, I talked my (agreeable) wife into a Northwoods, Boundary Waters, house-boating honeymoon. She was instantly hooked on Minnesota and we've vacationed here most summers since.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for the classic Minnesota lake cabin and knew we were at home the first time we saw this early-40s log cabin.
