About this property

Quiet Shell River Cabin with Sauna

Our Cozy little cabin is the perfect getaway for all seasons. The sauna is an extra treat. The property is close to the tiny town of Osage and the Smokey Hills State Forest. The Shell River runs through the property providing the perfect relaxing background at the campfire. The large oaks provide beautiful green shade in the summer, an array of orange & yellow in the fall and a beautiful place for the frost and snow to settle in the winter.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This little cabin had an awesome movie selection and a really well stocked kitchen. We loved the dog-friendliness and the fire pit! Everything was clean, comfy, and convenient. I do wish that more of the windows had curtains. Overall very highly recommend this property!

Everything about the cabin was well thought out. Very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed being able to have a fire outside because the weather was perfect for it! Great selection of movies! We loved all of the light the windows let in and the coziness of the cabin. Just what we wanted to come back to after hiking!

The Perfect Getaway! We spent lots of time in the beautiful autumn weather taking in fall colors in the surrounding state parks. Don’t miss The Lost Forty and the Mississippi Headwaters. Returning to our little cabin in the woods felt like a hug each evening when we returned. Small and well-thought out, Shell Cabin had everything you need without a lot of clutter. A grade on this VRBO!

Check in / out was simple. The property was very nice. The home had absolutely everything we could have needed. The yard was private and had plenty of room for our pup to run around & play. The BBQ, fire ring and firewood were very nice to have for use. We enjoyed our stay here in the peace & quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Deana Deitchler

Host profile image
Hello, I am a Park Rapids resident. I lived near Park Rapids as a child and moved back to the area to raise my family. The house just South of the River Cabin is where my husband, Kelly and I raised our children until 2004. I owned and operated Dogs Paw near Park Rapids for 14 years. This cabin has a fun history, and we love sharing the property with guests so that you can experience the relaxing environment.

Why they chose this property

I love this place for the large oak trees and the peaceful river. The location is close to the Smokey Hills State Forest, Straight Lake, Park Rapids and about a 25–30-minute drive to Itasca State Park.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is a bit rustic on the outside and very clean, cozy and convenient on the inside. The large oak trees provide shade and beauty year-round.
