Just got back from a 3 day stay at this cute little cabin up north... It was fantastic for my family of 3 plus a dog for a long, relaxing, and fun MEA weekend. My 5 year old son loved the bunk beds, the place was set up for everything we needed, and the host was great with pre-arrival communication. Would definitely come back again!
Property was just as advertised! Very clean, nice little cabin that was perfect for my wife and I. Host was very responsive and willing to assist with all questions. We will certainly be renting again.
Was exactly how it was described, great view, great info on the area!
We enjoyed our stay here. It was around an hour to Itasca state park and about 30 minutes to Walker. We went to Longville on Wednesday for turtle racing and had a blast. We enjoyed hearing loons calling while we watched the sunrise over the lake. The only issue we had was a neighbor by the boat launch yelled at us because our kids were throwing rocks in the lake.
We had an amazing vacation at Cabin 8 Retreats!! The property was beautiful and so clean! All of the amenities that we would have needed were provided, and the owners were so quick to respond if we needed anything or had any questions. The location was perfect with a beautiful view of the lake. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway on the lake!!
This was a wonderful, clean, cutely decorated cabin to rent. We had four adults and there was room for all of us. The lake has a lot of vegetation and there are no jet skis allowed but it’s very quiet and peaceful.
My family and I have just returned from an awesome weekend at this cabin. As soon as we pulled into and drove down the dirt road to the cabin we were taken in by the beauty and peacefulness of the lake, the trees and the green lawns. Upon entering the cabin, we noticed it was so clean, fully stocked and a fun brightly colored layout. Just the right size for my family of 4 adults and 2 young ones. All we really needed to bring was food and drink. Fun times were had by riding on the cool 2 seater vintage pontoon paddle boat, taking a dip on the beach just a short walk down, playing the many yard games on the open lawn while the pups watched and played, playing cards on the beautiful deck (furnished with newer no maintenance furniture) while looking at the sunset and a nice fire burning near by. We will most definitely be looking into coming back ! 5 stars!
nice place
