Located in McGregor, this cabin is on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of Mississippi River and Savanna Portage State Park can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Minnesota National Golf Course.

Relaxing family cabin

This was an amazing family cabin. Large enough for us to have family from the lake visit and cozy enough to feel at home on the lake. Can’t wait to go back again!

We ran into a few snafus with our reservation, but Tom worked very hard to remediate along the way! The location of this house is great - excellent lake, quiet property and near some of the major restaurants/beaches. Overall, we were very satisfied with our weekend away and would recommend this property to others looking for a family or friend getaway!

Spacious cabin

The cabin was very spacious and perfect for our group. We had fun fishing off the dock, swimming, tubing, water skiing, and hanging out in the 3 season porch. The owner was a fabulous communicator and very accommodating. We had a great time!

Tons of space to spread out for a family vacation

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. There was a lot of space to spread out for a big group. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook - even tupperware for our leftovers. There was also a drip coffee maker and a keurig, so plenty of options. The extra fridge in the garage was great to have as well. The host was very responsive to our messages if we needed anything, and checked in on us after the power went out briefly. Excellent communication before, and during, our stay. We would definitely stay again.
