Please read all the information below. This Nice, Full log hand-built cabin is located in a quiet country setting, overlooking a private lake that is off the beaten path. The cabin has a private flight of stairs at lead to the Lake where there are kayaks canoes and rowboats available for free use for guests. The cabin has a master bedroom with a Queen size bed and small couch. The loft has a fold out couch and 2 single beds with a fold out couch on the first level, so the total beds will sleep up to 8 people with another small couch and plenty of floor and deck space for sleeping bags.

Outside the cabin there is a picnic area with fire pit, LP grill, and picnic table with dry firewood for sale for $5 a bundle. The cabin is on the same property as River Valley campground so if you have friends with RVs or campers there are spots available. Campers are some distance away from Cabins but on heavy travel days campers may be closer. The lake is shared by other guests and Campers are separated mostly on the other side of the Lake and are mainly used on weekends. The cabin is in a separate area of the property and has its own access to the Lake. and has a newly added flight of stairs set goes directly to the lower level. There is a hiking trail around the lake and the local area has lots of wildlife and Flora and fauna to see.
There are 2 state parks with in 40 minutes and Volga Lake recreational area is about 10 miles away. A convenience store is 2.5 miles away in Wadena and a grocery store is 10 miles away in Elgin. There is no Wi-Fi or television in the cabin so you can just unplug and relax but there is a cell tower within a mile, so you get great reception with
US cellular but other carriers may be spotty.
The most important rule is to relax, enjoy your stay and please return. Bring any personal items that will make your stay more comfortable. I have most of the basics but maybe not everything you may need.
Please no shoes or smoking inside the cabin.
Before checking out, please place all used linen in pile on the floor near the front door. Feel free to bring your own sheets and towels if wanted. They are supplied but some people prefer to bring their own. If you're going to need a heavy blanket, please bring that as well because they are too difficult to wash between each guest, but if needed I can supply them. Place all garbage in the dumpster near the entrance. Pets must be house broken and let me know the size, number and type of pet you are bringing. Please bring a dog bed or sheet to lay on and a Kennel is suggested for nighttime. No pets allowed on furniture or beds or inside the cabin if wet or dirty. Pets Cannot be left alone inside the cabin, unless inside a kennel and please pick up after your pets. I have an outside kennel for guests to use if needed. If the pet has an accident inside the cabin, there will be an additional cleaning fee of 25$. And please let me know if this happens so the area can be cleaned and sanitized.
Unfortunately, there is no swimming allowed in the Lake due to insurance and liability issues.
