Nevis, Minnesota
Enjoy this thoughtfully detailed lake cabin for your summer getaway. All the amenities of home but with the slowness and charm of the north.
Perched on the crest of a hill overlooking 8th Crow Wing Lake, the views are stunning, peaceful, and ideal for bird lovers to observe nature in action. With expansive windows in every room, you can enjoy the outdoors from the light filled comfort of indoors. Or sit on the large deck and take in the hum of motor boats, loon calls, and humming birds zooming by. You will feel refreshed as soon as you walk in the door of this well loved cabin.
The property has much to offer. With woods separating the cabin from neighbors, you will feel secluded and away from it all. A winding pebble path leads you down to the lake, where you'll find a large dock for swimming, fishing or just sitting with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. There is a public boat launch on the opposite side of the lake and guests are welcome to tie up to the dock. Back up on top of the hill, take advantage of the large fire pit and yard activities, like bag toss (games provided).
Bring your bikes and explore the Heartland trail. Our favorite tour is from Akley to Walker, it's a beautiful stretch of the trail and Walker has a downtown with lots of shops and parks that are fun to explore. Another great day trip is to start in Nevis, bike to Dorset for a treat at the Dorset House, famous for their ice cream sundays, then end back at the Iron Horse in Nevis for delicious BBQ dinner.
No matter what your pleasure, we think you'll have a great time getting to know the cabin and the area. We would love to share this special place with you.
We winterize our cabin, so it is available for booking May-October and closed November-April. The dock access is dependent on weather. It's usually in by the end of May depending on ice out, and taken out by October 1, so would not be accessible for early May or October renters.
The path to the lake is steep and may not be accessible to those with mobility limitations.
As always, the cabin was perfect for our summer family get-away. The cabin was clean inside and out, the hosts provided excellent instructions and local suggestions. Although the weather wasn't ideal, we were still able to enjoy sunsets on the dock and even did a little swimming. Thanks to the puzzles, books and games provided by the hosts, we had plenty to do inside as well. We are looking forward to going back again next year!
Everything was great! Cabin is well maintained and the lake is beautiful! We enjoyed our trip!
As this is my third time here, I obviously very much enjoy this cabin and its location. I'm sure I'll be back for another visit.
This is our 4th year staying at this property and it’s still as amazing and was ever! We enjoy every moment and wish it wouldn’t go so fast, looking forward to next year!
This was our third year staying for a week. Never have had any issues with the property...always clean, neat and quiet! Great location with nearby bike trails and lots of small towns to visit. Looking forward to going back next year!
We just loved our time at this cabin. So much so, we wanted to stay longer. Lots of windows to see the beauty of Autumn's colored leaves all around. We slept well on comfortable mattresses. It was fun cooking in the kitchen with its many utensils, pots, pans, spices etc. A true vacation!
This was such a beautiful and private setting for us to come and be able to bring our dog. It really couldn’t have been much better.
The cabin is nestled in a forest of trees. We felt like we were in a magical tree house, high above the lake. Everything in the cabin met our needs. The large windows in all the rooms, the deck surrounding 3/4ths of the cabin allowed us to commune with nature all the time! The only drawback was the long and steep path to the lake. There were no handrails , so we were unable to access the lake. We are seniors, so needed to stay up at the cabin and just view the lake from a distance.
We had a beautiful week at the cabin! Everything was clean and fresh upon arriving at the property! We were pleasantly surprised that the mosquitoes weren’t terrible this summer. We saw eagles, osprey and of course the loons!
This cabin is beautiful and the most comfortable rental we have experienced. It was exceptionally clean and well organized. We really enjoyed the grill and kitchen, cooking all of our meals rather than going out. The deck and patio furniture were very appreciated. We loved the view and being in the trees. The sunsets were breathtaking! Loved the kayaks and games and foosball table! Streamed a movie in the evening from Netflix or Prime. Beds, linens and towels are high quality and very appreciated! Thank you for a lovely stay.
This was our 3rd time staying at the cabin and it was just amazing! We love the area and the cabin is perfect for our family and small dogs. We can’t wait to go back next year! The entire rental process was easy too, and the comfort and ease of the entire stay is great.
Cabin is beautiful. Modern - yet feels like a cabin. Kitchen had everything we needed. Supplied information on how to use remotes along with fun things to do in the area. Lots of steps to the lake. The lake is clear - not muddy looking. Fun to kayak to the different lakes. If you like to fish - Lots of sunfish Beautiful sunsets
Excellent experience - we enjoyed the beautiful lake and tree views from the spacious deck and many windows. The lake is quiet with loon calls being the loudest activity, just the way we like it. The cabin is nicely designed and stocked with amenities. Very comfortable newer foam bed, which is rare! Stonework in shower, woodwork throughout, comfortable furniture, updated electronics with streaming services and newer appliances helped us enjoy our stay. Being it was MN in May, we had a few chilly days and nights and easily stayed warm with a touch of heat. A couple days were warmer with bright sun, and the cabin cooled off nicely with a few windows open. Great rec room downstairs with darts and games. We loved the fire pit, grill and just sitting on the dock. Wish the water had warmed up, as we would have enjoyed the kayaks, but it was a late spring. Maybe next time!
