The house is on Kitchi Lake, which lies is in the middle of the Cass Lake chain of eight inter-navigable lakes and offers a variety of game fish including walleye, northern pike, crappie, blue gill, large mouth bass and muskie. Cass Lake, a ten minute boat ride from the house, is also one of the state’s premier muskie lakes and a favorite with trophy fishermen. If you bring your own boat, a landing is available about a mile from the house, or you can usually rent one on the lake. We now provide a canoe with the rental.
Turtle River, which runs through Kitchi, provides boaters and canoeists with spectacular views of woodlands and wildlife. The southwestern corner of our property usually has a pair of eagles nesting between May and September and fledgelings often forage along our shoreline or circle the house.

This year we are keeping the house open through the end of December for Christmas bookings. We know that many guests have families in the area and our house can provide a base for visiting without imposing on relatives and also serve as a private setting for family fun during the holidays. We include a Christmas tree and and other decorations as well as the necessary kitchen supplies like cookie sheets, pie pans and the like for memorable holiday meals. Many guests may also like to try ice fishing or other winter sports on the lake, which is generally hard frozen by late December.
* If your party is much larger than seven, consider also booking our companion property, The Point, a quarter mile up the road (listing number 1392352) which handles 6, or combined, around 13. Renting the two properties is also the solution for groups who want a shared vacation experience while maintaining separate family accommodations.

Had good fishing and met expectations, enjoyed the privacy vs other accommodations we've stayed at in the past.
Let me say the house met all our needs and location of property was centrally to the state parks we wanted to visit. The roadway leading up to the house can be challenging for individuals that are not used driving on back roads. Enjoyed sitting on the bench on the dock, but personally I would not swim in this area of the lake. Also, don't forget the bug spray! The bugs enjoy living in the region of Minnesota, so don't think I am only talking about around the house. We sprayed ourselves before hiking anywhere in this area.
House was very clean and had everything that was needed. Very secluded only hard part was the steep climb from the dock. Mike Walsh was very helpful.
Secluded rustic cabin on lake-it is accessible via a 1 mile dirt path through dense woods. Mosquitoes and flies are plentiful outside as well as inside along with a dead mouse. This cabin has a spacious living/dining area, new appliances, with a beautiful view of the lake! Boat landing has plenty room to dock boats and a nice bench at the end. Plans for the family entertainment inside the cabin had to be moved into town due to all the bugs. Homeowner was contacted and it was suggested we set off a bug bomb, which was not acceptable with small children. We felt cleaning of the property could have been done more thorough.
Get secluded spot. No security issues at all. Super sweet space and near enough to everything we needed.
Such a wonderful stay. House felt like a home. Private location. Lake was so nice. Nothing was lacking. Walk from dock to house was steep, only thing close to a downside.
My wife, a few friends, and I booked this cabin for a weeklong summer vacation. We loved how secluded and quiet this property was. We enjoyed taking our boat out to fish and swim. It is so easy to access a variety of lakes. Excellent location. The cabin was clean with appropriate amenities and communication with the host. We would come back again!
WE had a great time here, hope to use it again in the future. The owners are great to work with, prompt responses to my questions.
Our family had the best time! Completely private and secluded. Great Lake access. We rented a pontoon from Fun Monkey and spent a day on the water. Saw plenty of loons and bald eagles. The property was well stocked and information was easy to find. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to stay.
The place was well equipped and clean. We had a nice stay. The only down fall was the hill to the dock and it would be great if there was a boat lift. We had a wonderful time.
