Our home sleeps 6. Upstairs is a spacious bedroom with a queen bed, one bath with a tub, a fully equipped kitchen, dining and living room. The living area has a flat screen Direct TV with DVD player and WIFI.
Down the spiral staircase to the lower level there is a queen sofa bed, two twin beds, bath with shower, washer/dryer stacking combo, another flat screen Direct TV with DVD player, and walkout to the lake.
In the yard you will find a fire pit where you can roast marshmallows, hot dogs and make s’mores. There is an electric grill on the deck for barbecuing. We furnish a canoe and a 14’ aluminum Lund boat (no motor, you can rent one only 5 miles away). We have a dock and floating raft where you can enjoy amazing swimming in crystal clear Caribou Lake or just sit in the sun and listen to the loons.
Fall is a great time for hunting deer and grouse in this area. Snowmobile enthusiasts will enjoy the hundreds of miles of trails nearby.
5 miles north on Hwy. 38 in Marcell there is a full service bait/grocery store where you can rent boat motors and get fishing/hunting licenses. They also have pizza, ice cream, video rentals and souvenirs. Don’t feel like cooking? There are some excellent places to eat at one of the many resorts in the area as well as at the Pine Cone Cafe. Marcell Community Church will welcome you for Sunday morning services and you can come as you are. There are also miles of ATV and hiking trails in the area.
Grand Rapids is only 30 minutes away from all your shopping needs and fun family activities. The downtown area has lots of unique and charming stores. Also very nearby are riding stables, golf courses, excellent restaurants and dining/supper clubs.

My Beautiful Fall visit

What a joy it was to spend the last week in September in God's Country and this charming home. I hit peak color! The owners have truly thought of everything & then some in appointing this home w/ creature comforts that I have never experienced in any other rental. The kitchen was especially well appointed! I'm a cook, and brought a lot of things I didn't need! The living area's were extremely comfortable and although I was looking for a "simpler time", I did enjoy the Wi-Fi & Directv! My only complaint was the hard mattress. However, I plan to be back next year & if they haven't replaced the mattress, I'll just bring my feather topper! They thoughtfully posted helpful notes around the house to help you navigate & help keep the place in the fine shape that its in. Hint: The house is much bigger than it looks in the pictures and there's lots of outside space, too! It's one of those places you just want to leave a little better than you found it! Thanks again!

“We had a wonderful time up here! The privacy and quiet was great! We have been looking for a getaway like this and now found it, and we will absolutely be back! We were able to renew and relax, just what we needed. The cabin had everything we needed, very well stocked. Loved the pretty retro furnishings and clean! Such a clean, pristine cabin—you go the extra mile to make the cabin feel homey. Enjoyed sitting by the campfire at night, listening to the loons sing. The deck view is beautiful as well. AND...the fishing...Scott caught a 36-inch, 20-pound Northern in the lake, a highlight of the trip! I really enjoyed the amenities of WI-FI, TV and air conditioning. This cabin had it all. Will see you next year! Thank you!

“What a beautiful place! The lake is so clear, quiet and peaceful. The home was spotless and provided us with everything but the food. Thank you for bringing a Crock-pot for us too! We truly enjoyed our vacation here. Our boys were so excited to catch some fish and had a blast swimming. Thank you for sending an electrician right away to fix the light above the table. We had a great time and look forward to coming back soon. P.S. It is so adorable in here. I loved all the “pops” of color in the decorating and the “Retro” feel of it all. Very “homey” too.”

“Thank you so much for sharing your home. This was the perfect up-north getaway. The cabin was very clean and well equipped. The view of the lake was fantastic. And if you want to fish, so many lakes are within five miles of the cabin! We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

"We had a beautiful time again and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed watching the hummingbird build her nest while we sat on the deck. If you watch her, you can see where it is, but it's really tiny!" Prior Lake, MN

Randy, Dawn & Family 6/28/11 "We loved our stay at this cabin. We have rented a few cabins in the northern MN area, and this one met all of our needs. I was very impressed by how clean and equipped it was. The lake was beautiful, and everyone enjoyed fishing, boating and canoeing. We did not do our homework, and we bought several things that were already here. We will know next time, and there will definitely be a next time. We moved from MN (Twin Cities) to Tennessee, and we really missed it. This is exactly the 'fix' we needed. Thank you for everything!" Franklin, TN

"We enjoyed the cabin so much! Beautiful view of the lake! We had our kids with us and some of their friends so with 7 we had plenty of room & everyone slept comfortably. Fire pit was enjoyed with making smores & cooking hot dogs. I even took my first canoe trip which wasn't easy. We had plenty of room to park 2 trucks w/trailors & boats & turn them around in the drive. You really had everything we needed & more. First time renting a cabin with Direct TV & WIFI & a dishwasher. (So many amenities!) We really had a wonderful family vacation... Thankyou," Don & Krista, Kokomo, IN.

"These past days were amazing. We loved the fishing, canoeing and swimming! Hearing the loons was an added treat. It was nice to be able to sit out on the dock at night with our feet in the water watching the fish play with each other on the surface. We loved the peacefulness of the nights and the mornings as well. This is the best vacation spot in the world!"
