Had a very good time. Quiet, clean, very modern. Spacious yard. Only small complaint would be the street light back by the fire pit is very bright, shines in your eyes. Makes it hard to star gaze.

Great Cabin weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at this cabin. We enjoyed dinner at Bimbo’s, which was within walking distance, had a great time sitting around the campfire, and even though it wasn’t on the lake, we weren’t too far from an amazing swimming beach. My family and I will definitely stay again!

We're on a journey to visit every state park in Minnesota. We decided to come to the this area to celebrate my birthday and Father's day. We couldn't have found a better spot. It was super close to one of the parks and it was very quiet and inviting. Loved the subtle touches in the house and how we had everything we needed availabile to us. Very affordable too! Highly recommend to anyone coming to the Side Lake area!
