About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peaceful, Lake View Cabin

A beautiful cabin in a country setting, with an outdoor stair case to the lower level for access to water for fishing and use of rowboat/kayaks/canoe or trails.
The cabin has beds that sleep up to 8 people, with a couch and plenty of floor or deck space for sleeping bags. It has 1 master BR, 1 bath and a large loft. Cabin has hard wood floors, tile shower, jetted tub, with all newer appliances/washer dryer and fully stocked kitchen. Also has an outdoor fire pit, LP grill, and picnic tables, and firewood available for $7 a bundle.There are 2 state parks within 40 minutes and Volga Lake recreational area is about 10 miles away.

The cabin is secluded, but there is a campground connected to the property that is mainly used on the weekends except during peak travel times. So, if you have friends with campers or Rv's, invite them along. There are kayaks, canoe and a rowboat to use for free with Life jackets provided. Unfortunately, no swimming is allowed in the lake due to insurance reasons, and the fishing is catch and release with the use of artificial bait, which helps ensure safe release of fish. There is also a 25$ per pet fee and a liability waver for all guests to sign.
Please bring your own heavy blankets if needed, light blankets are provided.


I'm usually available by phone, but guests should be prepared to do a self check in and complete check in without my assistance. It's located in the country, on a gravel road, 2 miles from a really cool small town of Wadena.
You WILL see local wildlife and bugs.
If you want a fun unique quiet place to stay, please make a reservation and make yourself at home.
Please also be prepared to complete your stay with minimal assistance from the host. If you need anything, TEXT me. :)

Great stay-excellent fishing

Great cabin, very peaceful. The only thing keeping this from full 5 stars is in the listing, there is nothing noting that this is in a campground. Luckily, it wasn’t busy so the stay was peaceful.

Relaxing Weekend

We picked this property for a relaxing sisters weekend! The cabin was what we expected, clean and cute. The teenagers loved the small lake and the kayaks and canoes provided, host was super friendly and nice. A great weekend of unplugging and spending time together.

Wonderful Trip!

Really enjoyed brining my family to this cabin for a nice get away. Wadena is a nice remote town. We felt very secure and away from everyone. The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. Great tub, shower, stairs to the pond, fire pit...everything you need. Would gladly book again!

Relaxing and Peaceful

We enjoyed our recent stay at this cabin. It’s location is great for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. Close proximity to Elkader if you are looking for some great shopping and also close to Pikes Peak and Backbone State Park if you want options for a day trip. Andy is great to work with and quickly replies to any questions or needs.

Wish we could’ve stayed longer…

This was an amazing trip, and the property was exactly as described. The cabin has a very cool wrap around porch. Andy was super nice and accommodating while 100% non-invasive. We used the canoe and caught a few fish. It was a short drive to WI where we were able to do some more fishing at Bloody Run. Beautiful scenery everywhere in this part of the state. We even brought a tv because there isn’t one at the cabin (while we were there, which was clear in the description), and didn’t even bring it inside. We’ll definitely be back!

Second stay & we will visit again

This was my family’s second stay at this cabin. We love that it is on a private pond/lake, it’s quiet and relaxing. The kayaks are right there to use freely any time and my boys enjoy the catch & release fishing too. The cabin isn’t too far from Backbone State Park & Volga Lake. These are great places to hike and fish. Check-in was easy and Andy was readily available to answer any questions. He even took a couple of our suggestions we gave after our stay last year, and incorporated them into the property. The beds were comfy enough and the cabin was just right for our family of four. The only thing I didn’t much care for was the few people on golf carts who cut through our drive to get to the campgrounds beyond the lake. Otherwise we never heard the campers or saw them. We actually kind of liked that we were completely isolated. We look forward to our next stay!

People forgetting what customer service means

My family and I were so excited for our time away at the “Peaceful, Lake View Cabin.” We booked our stay from August 22-26. When we arrived, the owner was there and was not masked. We were expecting a “no in person” check-in due to COVID-19. After the owner left, we settled in and learned that the kitchen was not fully stocked as advertised. The cabin was at the entrance to a trailer park so it was not private at all. The beds were terribly uncomfortable, many of the electrical outlets did not work and the bathroom floor and tub were littered with bugs. We told the owner about the outlets but he was unable to fix them and we did not want an electrician intruding on our time. The owner never acknowledged our request for a solution to the incredibly uncomfortable beds. Amazingly, when we told the owner that we were leaving two days early, he was very indifferent to the idea that we may be leaving because we were unhappy. He wrote, “ Oh OK, I'm sorry you had to leave early. I hope you enjoyed your stay. If not i apologize. I ask people for a review if they had a good time and to accentuate the positives. But I know it doesn't always work out and in that situation I also ask that people not leave me a bad review. But thank you very much for staying and supporting a local small business. Best wishes.”It was his responsibility to make sure our stay was everything we hoped for. It is our responsibility to you to make sure you don’t only hear about the positives.

A Wonderful Cozy Cabin

This cabin was a beautiful little place out in the country, away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It made for a great chance for my family and I to get away from everyday life and just relax. Having access to the water made for some great memories for my niece. And my parents also especially enjoyed having such a nice sized deck/porch to laze around on. The owner was very polite and answered all my questions. Would absolutely stay here again!

Quiet peaceful cabin

Our family of five chose this cabin for a short getaway. We all had a wonderful time , the lake is beautiful and quiet. We especially enjoyed kayaking, canoeing and paddle boating. Andy met us there when we arrived and was super easy to communicate with. The cabin had everything our family needed. Inside there are plenty of games, the kitchen had what we needed to eat in, the grill was great, there were plenty of towels and toiletries. We set up chairs around the fire pit and enjoyed sitting out there at night listening to the sounds of nature. This is a wonderful cabin and we’d highly recommend it. Planning to return.

Another amazing stay at this great cabin!

Another amazing stay at this great cabin! My wife and I stayed here for the second time recently and just had a great time. The cabin is very, very clean, with great amenities, a beautiful pond just outback, and just extremely serene and calm. Andy is great, very kind and very good to work with. He even brought us some fresh sweet corn one night which was delicious! We will definitely be back again for our third visit, hopefully sometime this fall when the trees are turning colors and the temperatures are going down. Highly recommend it!
