Bigfork, Minnesota
The "Refuge at North Padre" is a beautiful, peaceful cabin in the northwoods of Minnesota. A perfect getaway to breathe, reconnect, or simply refresh. Single night stays are available but we do ask for an additional cleaning fee, please inquire if interested.
Situated on a private lake (no public access) with a gradual slope to the waters edge, this property is ideal for all ages. Sharing its property boundary with the George Washington State Forest, this is a tranquil location to truly get away and rest. Wake up to stunning sunrises and the sound of loons echoing as the fog rises off the lake. Lounge by the cozy fire and enjoy a kitchen with all the amenities of home.
Located 45 minutes north of Grand Rapids, MN and just12 miles southwest of Scenic State Park. For those looking to adventure there are many options nearby: the Joyce Estate, Little American Falls, McCarthy Beach State Park, Suomi Hills, The Lost 40, and 90 miles to Voyageurs National Park.

Very quiet and secluded location. We enjoyed falling snow, time by the wood stove, the large windows overlooking the lake and an overall cozy atmosphere.
My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks in Oct. We went hiking everyday at local forest preserves and state parks. The color of the trees was amazing!! This cabin is well equipped with everything you would need in the kitchen and full size laundry. There is about a 20 minute drive to nearest convenience store so make sure you have provisions before you arrive. About 45 min to Grand Rapids. It is located on a private drive at the end. There are other homes nearby but still very quiet. We had many fires in the back yard looking at an amazing view of the lake. The temps were a little cool when we visited but my son was able to use the kayak to take a paddle around the lake. In warmer months this quiet lake would be perfect for families who like water activities. The one bedroom was very comfortable with a pull out couch and a spare mattress that we used when my son visited. Roku TV and wireless internet is available. Beautiful sunrises with a lake view and sunsets are pretty awesome also. Communication with host was great. It is obvious that the owners love this family cabin and are doing a great job of updating it. This cabin would be good for a couple and small family, or even some people doing game hunting. When hiking the Scenic state park we saw bear paw prints!! We would love to stay here again.
Very relaxing and well equipped
Cute, private, nicely equipped 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage on a lake in northern Minnesota. The only thing missing were wash cloths and the dish towels had seen better days. Owner was very responsive.
It was just what we needed to relax n enjoy the north woods. Has been awhile since we have been in the area very nice to be back!
Beautiful recently renovated clean small cabin right on the lake. Perfect for a couple or two couples. Well supplied kitchen and well furnished cabin. I highly recommend this rental property and am hoping to return in the future.
Nice lake place!
Beautiful, clean, exceptionally well stocked cabin. Beautiful lakeshore and views. This place is above all quiet and immersed in natural beauty. This cabin was built with respect for the lake and others on the lake. If you are looking for a place to party or participate in loud outdoor sports, please don’t stay here. It needs to be treated respectfully.
My husband and I had a great time! It was very private and secluded and we enjoyed the canoe and kayak!
Beautiful little cabin on a beautiful remote lake. Well appointed with full appliances/utilities/etc. We only stayed one night but it's definitely worth staying longer!
Loved our time here! Very clean, beautiful property, we just had a great time. Our host was very kind and quick to respond to my messages. They made it a great experience!
We had a great stay with amazing weather in May! We fished off the dock, enjoyed kayaking on the quiet lake and relaxing by the fire! Would book again!
Great place to stay definitely would go back next time I work in the area
We really enjoyed staying here for the night. Cozy - the wood stove was nice and warm! - and really clean. We’d definitely come back again.
Çlean cabin stocked with everything I needed. Beautiful view & very peaceful. Bedroom & bathroom were a bit chilly, but the woodstove kept the rest of the cabin very cozy. Would love to come back in the summer with the rest of the family.
