A Warm Welcome from Your Hosts!
Hospitality is in all of us, and we want you to have a getaway with memories that last a lifetime.
From the moment you are greeted, you’ll feel at home. Our first concern is providing comfortable accommodations for all our guests.
We have one of the best natural beaches in Minnesota. It’s 1,000 feet of pure fun that’s ideal for basking in the sun.
The cabins are immaculately maintained, carpeted and fully-furnished, with complete kitchens and great views. And all of them are beach front.
We take pride in maintaining our property and cabins so you, and your family, can relax and enjoy your time at the lake. It’s our goal to make our place at the lake your place at the lake—any time of year.
Let us be your hosts for a traditional Minnesota vacation!

“Best place for a family vacation! Me, my husband and our 2 girls (ages 3.5 and 4 months) along with my brother, sister in law and their 3 boys (ages 7, 5, and 2) all stayed in the cardinal heights cabin for a week. It was great! We were right on the beach (the owners were out daily making sure the beach was clean and ready for plenty of kid action), and right next to the playground. The facilities were always clean, and the fish cleaning house never smelled. I left extremely impressed and would Definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great family get away!!”

“What a great place! So family friendly, my kids were all smiles with so much to do! A nice, sandy beach to enjoy and good fishing on the lake. We stayed in Wren’s Den. It was HUGE with big bedrooms and lots of bathrooms. Fantastic accommodations for 3 different families to have space to land. DJ dance party for the kids, barrel train rides, a hay track ride… the list goes on and on. I would recommend this place to anyone!”
