About this property
BEAUTIFUL LAKE CABIN! Only 1 hour from Mpls St.Paul! Sleeps 6 comfortably!
Welcome to our cabin, Sailor's Cove, directly on West Rush Lake and get ready to relax. This full season cabin offers amazing views from the deck or patio and has approx. 100 feet of shoreline. Boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, relaxing, games, campfires, fire table, 2 lakeside restaurants and oh the view… the list goes on. Enjoy beautiful Minnesotan seasons on the lake! This is your escape! Views and wildlife, cozy places to relax and good restaurants to eat at, we have it all! In the summer you can fish right off the dock, bring your boat (public landing just minutes away), rent a boat or use our canoe/kayak and explore approximately 1500 acres of recreational enjoyment. Plus there are over an additional 1000 acres of water accessible thru a short channel to East Rush Lake! What could be better? Islands, bays, restaurants, sunrises and sunsets all just waiting for you to enjoy!
You can enjoy looking at the lake from the new deck off the main level or from the expansive patio below. We just added a "fire table" to the deck which has quickly become a special spot to enjoy the views. One of my favorite things is sitting with a cup of coffee on the second deck, the "sunrise" deck, aptly named for the view. A cozy fire pit on the patio is surrounded by comfy furniture for relaxing evenings and reminiscing. Listen to the loons and watch eagles soar overhead, wildlife abounds! The cabin is situated on part of a peninsula which adds more privacy and lake views. The neighborhood bar/restaurant, Grumpy Minnow, is a quick 5 min. boat ride around the bend or a 15 min. walk thru the neighborhood. Flickabird's is another lakeside bar/restaurant that is accessible thru the channel to East Rush Lake and a marina.
We are close to several wedding venues in the Rush City, Cambridge and Stanchfield areas. The cabin is a perfect place to come together as well as wind down.
Our calendar is up to date so if a date is open it is available. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU COME UP AND STAY AWHILE!
The cabin has 2 bedrooms and 2 quiet spaces: *Large Masterbdrm - Queen bed plus a Queen size Murphy bed (folded up against the wall) *Lakeside bdrm - Queen bed *Cottage room - Queen bed for resting. This is not an official bedroom. *Twin room- Two twin beds, this area works well for clothing storage and resting as it is not an official bedroom. *There are 2 bathrooms with showers. *The kitchen has a long breakfast bar (seats 3) that comes in handy for buffet meals or a quiet breakfast looking out over the trees and lake. A barnwood table and built in buffet bench offer plenty of seating (8) for meals and games. *A desk/work area is adjacent to the kitchen table and often gets used as a snack/beverage station for grabbing yummy items on the way to the deck. *New oven and microwave in 2020, new fridge in 2021, new dishwasher in 2025 *The upstairs living room opens unto the new large cedar deck with a gas grill and a large patio table that seats 6 comfortably with room for 8 (plus a new fire table for 4). *There is another living area in the lower level with a new gas fireplace/stove for game night or watching movies on the flat-screen TV via Roku. A bar area and beverage fridge are conveniently tucked along one side. The second bathroom is located in the lower level allowing quick access from the patio and lake. The laundry room is located next to the lower bathroom and has a front load washer and dryer for your use. *The walkout patio offers various seating/conversation areas and a firepit. *2nd deck along the side yard stairs offers great views of the sunrise/lake or just quiet reflection away from the main cabin. *Flat lakeside yard for games (Corn hole boards/bags, Badminton and Bocce Ball available *Canoe, kayak and Lily pad available free for guest use
If you are feeling lucky after catching all those fish, then a 20-minute car ride brings you to the Grand Casino in Hinckley. If live music sounds great then head to one of the nearby lakeside bars, the Grumpy Minnow or Flickabirds on the weekend. There is even an 18 hole golf course, Bulrush, nearby at Rush City. The towns of Rush City and Cambridge are both within 20 minutes. In true 'up north' fashion there are meat raffles and fun bars in the area as well as many wineries and antique shops so there’s always something to do. Ice fishing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are perfect winter activities along with a good book snuggled up to the fireplace.

We had a great stay! We have stayed at the Rusk Lakes several times while visiting family in the area but this was our favorite place so far! Beautiful back deck, lower patio with fire pit and grass area at beach level. Will look to rent again on the next trip!
We really enjoyed our week at the lake. Fishing off the dock was great and listening to and watching all the birds was very relaxing. The communications were very clear and appreciated. We will be back.
We absolutely loved our stay. From the cleanliness of everything to the stunning views of the waterfront. The deck was excellent for relaxing and taking in the sights of the lake and all the wildlife. The kitchen was great for prepping meals and making coffee. The boat dock and access to canoes and kayaks was extra fun. Can’t wait to go back!
Absolutely stunning views! Owners are very nice and easy to get ahold of! Was able to enjoy coffee, nature, and views every morning on the deck and campfires in the evening on the patio.Highly recommended!!
Amazing outdoor spaces with gorgeous views of the lake. House is very comfortable and inviting. Kitchen is nicely laid out for multiple cooks and well-equipped for family meals. Everyone loved this place!
The cabin was amazing, leaving us very relaxed during the stressors of the wedding weekend. The kids loved the outdoors and fishing from the dock. Host communication was the best. They were very responsive and helpful with requests or questions.
We had a great time! The host communicated in advance what to expect, and we really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room, prefect for a multi-family gathering!
would be excellent for larger group, beautiful outdoors areas for families

Response from VrboOwner on Dec 4, 2021
The ability to spread out and have quiet nooks to read or just “be” is what draws guests back season after season. The large outdoor spaces to reconnect and enjoy the views at the same time are unparalleled- we’re so happy you loved it as well. Come back again soon!
Our stay was the ideal weekend getaway we hoped it'd be. The property was clean and perfect for a cabin trip with lake access, firepit, and grill. I greatly appreciated the responsiveness and communication of the host. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cabin trip just outside of the twin cities.
We had a wonderful visit at this beautiful lake cabin. It was a great space for our group and everything we needed was there.

About the host
Hosted by OWNER
We are "newly adjusting" empty nesters. We have loved spending as much time possible with our kids at the lake. With their college years and new jobs, our family time has changed and become more limited so we decided to share our cabin with others. We hope you make wonderful memories and love it as much as we have!
Why they chose this property
A cozy cabin feel with modern touches! We love feeling like we are "away" and enjoying nature, but it's nice to have an airy, clean feeling as well. The unobstructed views off the deck and patio are unmatched by any other property on the lake! Yet we still have a flat yard next to the water and a woodsy feel to the sides of the property... truly the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
A 1 hour drive you say? Sign me up! We can go for the day or the week. And with 2 lakes with 2 bar/restaurants right on the lake, with a friendly up north feel, we were sold!
