Aitkin, Minnesota
This three bedroom cabin has an understated charm with over 100 foot of lake front on Sunset lake. This includes use of a 3 bedroom cabin and detached garage. The two main Bedrooms each have private bathrooms and include a shower. Their is also a 1/2 Bath near the kitchen. Bedroom one has a king log bed with memory foam mattress, bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and shower. Bedroom two has a queen size log bed and bathroom with shower and tub. Bedroom three has a bunk bed with a full on the bottom/ twin on top. The four season porch allows for great outdoor feel rain or shine. The cabin has a dock and pontoon lift. The lake has a very basic boat launch area so it stays very quiet compared to big name lakes. Don't let that fool you it still has good fishing and some deep holes.
The shoreline is mostly grass held back by rocks. It is about a 1.5 feet over the rocks into 1.5' water. Rocks are softball to football size. The middle of the dock is 4' deep with sand/gravel bottom. End of the dock is about 5' with cabbage weed and small lily pads. The lake is crystal clear water.
The cabin is located only 4 miles from the landing on farm island lake. 14 miles from Garrison and 25 miles from Brainard. It's a short 25 min drive down to the Grand Casino on Mille Lacs.
If you have other accommodations I can make please send me a message.
We enjoyed staying at this property. Having the use of the pontoon was a bonus. We have corresponded with Matt regarding the pontoon and it appears he is working on fixing the issues we brought up. Otherwise everything was great. We would stay there again.
Cabin was awesome, rooms were very good size. Loved how big the kitchen was. The lake was clear and had a lot of success fishing. Good size yard to play games. Also not to far from town as well.
The house is large with plenty of room and bathrooms. The use of the pontoon was a plus along with the paddleboat. The small beach is perfect for kids and the fishing from the dock is amazing!!! The location is close to the Twin Cities and close to Aitkin. Our only disappointment was that the house, the pontoon, and the paddleboat were not clean. Power washing the house and boats and doing a thorough cleaning of the other surfaces would go a long way to making this an amazing place to stay.
Host was helpful when reaching out to him. The pontoon and paddle boat were a definite must. We also really enjoyed the bumper pool table in the screened in porch. Thankful host informed me a day or two in advanced to bring water along for drinking etc… the water does have a. But if a smell to it. It is well water —I wouldn’t drink it. Grocery store is pretty close by. Loved the lake. It was beautiful. Only a couple things that could be improved on. Living room Furniture and bedding need updating. Old furniture doesn’t invite me to want to lounge on it. Cleanliness— needed a little more attention to cob webs throughout the house and the guest bathroom had garbage in the trash can and didn’t appear to have been cleaned prior to our stay. We also had some issues w the internet. My husband reached out to the owner but problem remained unsolved ( I’m assuming it was out of his control). Tried resetting the router but didn’t have success in making it better. Kitchen could use a griddle and maybe a few more pots/pans. Other wise it is stocked pretty well.
Perfect place to spend time away from the day to day. Fishing is fantastic if you like the fish the lake has many of. Love the quiet
The cabin is spacious and clean. Beds are comfortable. We enjoyed the screened in porch alot. Aitkin had fun shops and good restaurants, especially the Roadside Cafe. We enjoyed fishing on the pontoon and many fish were caught. It is quiet and peaceful!
Nice property good location quiet lake. Pontoon was a definite plus
Communication with Matt was great, he always replied in a timely manner. Upon arriving at the house, it looked like nobody had lived there in a long time. The house was very dusty, the entry and all sidewalks were covered in dirt and pine needles. Nothing we can't sweep off ourselves, but just thought it could have been ready for us. Same with the kayak and paddle boat, full or webs, pine needles and dirt. The house had ample room and we were able to all have our own space, but still all be together at the same time. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. The master bed is rock hard if you like that sort of thing. The bunk beds felt like they were going to collapse at any moment so the kid assigned to the top bunk ended up sleeping on the floor. Maybe just an issue of needing the screws tightened. The bedrooms were all a nice size, enough room to add dressers. The lake is very clean and clear. The little sand beach area was nice to launch our kayaks and paddleboards. Dinner with a sunset view is always a plus.
The property is very nice as described. Fishing is good. and the sunsets are great. The only reason we didn't give it a 5 was that we were looking for property closer to Crosby.
We had a great family vacation. Fishing was very good. Bumper pool and the electric pedal boat were a big hit with our teenage kids. Would love to stay again.
