Location: Aitkin, Farm Island Lake, Minnesota, USA (Two Hours North of the Twin Cities.)
Accommodations: Cabin Rental, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 10-12)
This cabin is located on a prime walleye fishing lake in northern Minnesota just two hours from the Twin Cities. Many weekends, we use this cabin for our personal use, but will rent for a few weeks of the summer and fall. The cabin is well-kept and nicely decorated with awesome views of the lake. The elevation is low so the lakeshore is very close... so close that you can view all lake activity from within the cabin. There is a large deck for dining and relaxing.
On the main floor is a large great room with a Franklin fireplace. The dining area is near the kitchen. All is very open to each other and has views of the lake. One bedroom is on the main level. The bath is separate and includes a shower. Upstairs there is a separate bedroom facing the lake and two loft areas. There is a half bath upstairs, also.
This is not just a "rental" property. It is a cozy, clean and very enjoyable place to hang out. A boat lift is available for your fishing boat. The swimming area goes out gradually with a good sand bottom.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1984
We have owned and enjoyed this cabin for over 24 years. Our family used this place almost every weekend of the summer. It was a place where we did things together and spent time working, playing, fishing and playing games. The kids enjoyed the beach with many hours of skiing, dock tag and other water games. Then they got married and moved with their jobs out of state. While we still enjoy the cabin ourselves,two years ago we decided to offer this opportunity to other families. It is our hope that friends and families are brought closer together while enjoying God's creation in this beautiful setting.
Why the Owner Chose Aitkin
Farm Island Lake is a prime walleye fishing lake with sandy bottom and clear water. Being close to the Twin Cities, the commute is minimal yet you are in the Northwoods! Lots are 100' plus so cabins are not on top of one another giving the feeling of privacy. It is never too busy with boats so fishing and water sports are always possibities.
The lake is over 2000 acres and has three islands. We think it is the best spot in Minnesota!
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin Rental
A large deck on the cabin allows enjoyment of the lake from 50 ft. back. You don't have to be on the dock to see all the activity. Great for grandparents to relax on and yet see the fun! Also, there is a nice fire-pit for evening chats with s'mores.(you bring the fixings)
The mile-long private road into the cabin is great for morning and evening walks.
