About this property

A great vacation place: charming cabin - quiet lake - classic sauna - fire pit

Pine Haven Cabin is a quaint retreat offering great fishing, lake fun, and beautiful views from a private lake lot. It’s perfect for your getaway to the north woods. Enjoy our paddle boards, canoe, rowboat, and traditional wood-heated sauna. Cyclists will love the peaceful roads and nearby trails.

The cabin is rented by the week so guests can fully enjoy the area. Customizable stays available upon request.

Nestled in a quiet corner on Sand Lake, the cabin comfortably sleeps four adults or two adults with three children. Sand Lake spans 778 acres and features two islands that are popular fishing spots for northern pike, bass, and panfish. A pontoon can be rented, so inquire early to reserve it for your group.

Other activities include biking, hiking, sightseeing, and more. With your stay, you’ll have plenty of time to explore everything the north woods of St. Louis County has to offer. Thank you for considering Pine Haven Cabin!

Great hidden gem

We absolutely loved it here!!!! Perfect set up, all the decking is nice and enjoyed the patio furniture!!! Lake is very close and secluded feeling. Could not see the neighbors at all. Would absolutely recommend this cabin.

Property was as advertised. Communication with owner and owner’s son was excellent. We enjoyed renting the pontoon boat from the owner’s son Jared and our conversation about the area including fish hot spots and dining spots. Did use the sauna which was nice.

It was great having Luvi, her husband, and friends. Fall-time is a beautiful time to vacation up north when the colors of the forest are changing.

Nice place by lake

Great communication, very accommodating. This was a cozy place by lake - we really enjoyed the sauna. House was clean and had everything you would need. Not a busy lake, and a canoe was available to use which was nice since we decided not to bring our boat this trip even though a nice dock was available.

Perfect

I was looking for a cozy place to relax a few days and this property was perfect! The weather wasn’t so nice that I took advantage of the canoe or paddle boat but they would be fun to use sometime too. The communication with the owner was great. I felt comfortable throughout my stay. I would whole-heartedly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away and find some peace and quiet.

Perfect Place

This little cottage was fantastic. It packed a lot into a quaint cabin. Spacious sleeping, detached sauna with dressing area and shower. The yard is perfect for games, very large and view of the lake was unbeatable. Nice outdoor furniture and fire pit. Hosts delivered all that was promised and more. Immaculate. Thank you!!!!

Josh and his group were great. They were the kind of guests every host likes having. We hope they come back up north to vacation again.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Bangs

Host profile image
We love the outdoors, whether it is the north woods of Minnesota, or the pines of Colorado's mountains. And we love being by water. That is why we love this place--it combines all the fun and quiet of the lake with the wilderness of Minnesota's north land.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is situated closer to the lake than most other cabins or houses. Sitting on the deck in the early in the morning, waiting to hear the loons is one of my favorite things.

What makes this property unique

We love the classic lake cabin feel of Pine Haven.
The lake has good fishing, and in most instances, you will not be competing with lots of boat traffic.
Experiencing the wood-heated sauna (the way saunas all used to be!) and then cooling off in the lake is great fun.
