Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful and quiet setting. One of the things we love most about the property is the large wooded lot and its location at the end of a cul-de-sac on a dead-end road—it gives the cabin an especially private and secluded Up North feel. There’s plenty of room to spread out and enjoy both the cabin and the outdoors without feeling like you’re on top of the neighbors. We’re so happy you had a relaxing stay and hope you’ll come back and enjoy the peaceful setting again! 🌲🏡🌿

Our family loved our week-long stay at this cozy cabin. Charming decor gave at-home feel. Nicely stocked kitchen and laundry access was very helpful. We appreciated use of the pontoon boat for fishing, and were surprised by the outdoor games, indoor games, extra life vests, and extra beds. It wasn't required, but there were fresh flowers in every room.It's the perfect north woods cabin experience!

Hello Matthew, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that your family enjoyed your week at the cabin and took advantage of so many of the extras we provide—from the 30 board games and yard games like Jenga, Cornhole, Kan Jam, Croquet, and Kubb, to the extra life jackets and comfortable sleeping spaces. Our goal is to create a place where families can truly settle in, relax, and make special memories together without having to worry about the little things. We take great pride in providing those extra touches that help make a vacation feel easy, comfortable, and fun. I especially love hearing that you enjoyed the pontoon for fishing and noticed the fresh flowers throughout the cabin. It’s those little details that make hosting so rewarding for us. Thank you again for choosing our cabin. We would love to welcome your family back for another Northwoods getaway! Kimberly

We loved this property on Trillium Lake. The home had everything you could need for a comfortable stay, plus more. The outdoor games, fire pit (gas and traditional), amazing deck, screened in porch, pedal boat, canoe, kayaks, and the little pontoon! Fishing was great and the quiet, clear lake was SO fun to swim in. The fish cleaning house was perfect, too! We will be staying again!

Brian, thank you for choosing our log cabin for your family getaway and for taking the time to share your experience! It was a pleasure hosting you. I'm so glad to hear the cabin met your expectations and that everyone had room to relax and enjoy themselves. It sounds like the kids had a great time on the paddle boat and reeling in fish from the pontoon—those are the kinds of memories we hope families take home with them. I'll admit, I pay close attention to the little details and keeping everything organized because I want our guests to be able to unpack, settle in, and simply enjoy their time away. Thank you for noticing! We'd love the opportunity to welcome your family back to Trillium Lake for another adventure.

Beautiful cabin in such a peaceful setting! Many options for watercraft, we enjoyed the pontoon to fish from. Very little traffic on the lake, some of the time we had it to ourselves. Large, well-stocked kitchen, everything you could possibly need! Both gas and charcoal grill ready to go. Kimberly was very responsive, a lot of attention to detail! Fresh flowers throughout the cabin and brownie bites were a nice touch. The large screened-in porch was perfect for an evening cup of tea! My favorite was the loon on the lake that followed us around! They are our favorite up north sound! Lots of deer too. I would definitely recommend this property!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the peaceful setting and had the opportunity to get out on the lake with the pontoon. One of our favorite things about the cabin is the quiet, unhurried feel of the lake—and there really is something special about having the water nearly all to yourself, especially with the loons calling in the background! We put a lot of thought into making the cabin feel like a true home away from home, so it means a lot to hear that you appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, spice cabinet, and both the gas and charcoal grills. We want our guests to be able to arrive, settle in, and simply enjoy their time without having to worry about whether they remembered the little things. And thank you for noticing the flowers, treats, and other details! We genuinely enjoy hosting and try to add those little touches that make a stay feel special. The screened-in porch is definitely one of our favorite places too—especially with a cup of coffee or tea and the sounds of the lake around you. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back for another peaceful Up North getaway. Thank you again for choosing our cabin and for taking such great care of it! 🌲🦆🌊

This property was such a pleasant surprise . We wanted a secluded quiet stay with luxury accommodations. We got it. The cabin home was very clean and so nice. The hostess really made us feel at home Even fresh flowers in every room . The private lake with pontoon boat was perfect for fishing and taking an evening cruise . Close to town for groceries was great too. I would let people know that getting to the boat ,you must go down a steep hill and if you had any physical walking issues it ,may not be easy to do. Other than that ,we certainly would recommend this beautiful property.

Sue, your review absolutely made my day—thank you! We love hearing that you found our little log cabin to be a peaceful surprise. Creating a place that feels secluded, quiet, and welcoming is exactly what we hope every guest experiences, and I'm so glad you felt at home. The fresh flowers are one of my favorite ways to welcome guests, so it means a lot that you noticed them. I also love that you enjoyed the private lake, an evening cruise on the pontoon, and the convenience of being just a short drive from town for groceries and other activities. We think it's one of the best parts of the property—you can truly unplug while still being close to everything you might need. Thank you as well for mentioning the walk down to the lake. You're absolutely right that the hill can be challenging for guests with mobility concerns, and improving that access is already on our list of future projects. We appreciate you sharing that detail so future guests know what to expect. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back to our little slice of Northwoods paradise anytime!

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin, the peaceful setting, the deck and fire, and most importantly, the special time you were able to spend together with your granddaughters. Creating a comfortable and relaxing place for families to reconnect is exactly what we hope to provide. During this stay, we did have an unexpected maintenance issue arise, and we worked quickly to respond and provide a temporary solution so our guests could continue to enjoy their time at the cabin. The permanent repair required a licensed electrician and, unfortunately, scheduling that work during the stay was not possible. We always take guest concerns seriously and do everything we can to respond promptly and minimize any inconvenience. We’re grateful that you otherwise enjoyed the cabin and the Hackensack area, and we hope your “grandma time” created some wonderful memories. Thank you again for choosing our cabin!

I'm so glad to hear that check-in went smoothly and that you found the kitchen well stocked with everything you needed for cooking during your stay. I understand that not having a dishwasher wasn't your preference. Because our log cabin is designed to provide a more traditional Northwoods experience, we have chosen not to install one, and we do note this in our property description so guests know what to expect before booking. While this amenity isn't available, we do our best to provide a fully equipped kitchen and many other comforts to help guests enjoy a relaxing stay. Thank you again for your feedback, and I wish you all the best in your future travels.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay—and especially that you were able to take advantage of both the pontoon on Trillium Lake and your own boat to explore some of the surrounding lakes. One of the things we love most about our location is that we’re surrounded by more than 120 lakes within 10 miles of the cabin, so guests who enjoy fishing, boating, kayaking, or simply exploring new water are encouraged to bring their own boat and make the most of the area. And of course, having our pontoon available makes it easy to enjoy Trillium Lake right from the cabin! We’re also happy to hear you enjoyed eating your meals out on the deck. There’s something pretty special about slowing down, enjoying a meal outside, and taking in the peaceful Up North setting. Thank you again for choosing our cabin and for recommending us. We’d love to have you back for another lake-filled getaway in Hackensack! 🌲🎣🚤

Wonderful first impression. Very clean with fresh carnations throughout the home. Large outdoor deck and a covered patio area as well. The sauna was awesome, sad it was cold enough to use in August!

We really enjoyed our stay. It's nice and quiet and the lake is gorgeous. The kitchen works great and you're close enough to the town to be able to get supplies or go to a restaurant. I caught four different northern pike over 5 days and I'm pretty happy with that. The kayak works great along with the canoe. We struggled with the pontoon but didn't really need it. It is quite a steep hill from the cabin down to the dock. My mom needed to find a different way down there but we figured it out.

Felt like I was in a snow globe with red, yellow, gold and red leaves falling….. The place has a little “ off the beaten path,” feel with tons of privacy which we liked.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Cremers

Host profile image
We are nature lovers at heart who find our greatest joy outdoors—hiking forest trails, camping under the stars, fishing quiet waters, and hunting in season. Family is at the center of everything we do, and we treasure time spent together in nature, creating memories that last a lifetime. This place is our way of sharing that love with others, inviting you to slow down, reconnect, and make your own unforgettable family memories in the great outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Hackensack area for its wild beauty and the sheer abundance of lakes—more than 120 just a short drive away—and because we were drawn to the timeless, back-to-nature charm of a log cabin tucked away on a private lake.

What makes this property unique

This property offers exceptional peace and quiet, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature—from frogs croaking to loons, sandhill cranes, and geese calling across the water. Trillium Lake is a private lake with limited recreational boat traffic; you’re far more likely to see a pontoon boat gliding by in the evening than a high-speed boat pulling tubers or skiers. At dusk, it’s rare to see or hear any sign of other people, creating a truly serene escape.

The cabin is centrally located among several vibrant Minnesota summer tourist towns, including Hackensack, Longville, and Walker. Hackensack features brand-new pickleball courts, a weekly kids’ fishing contest, a swappers meet, a brewery, a handcrafted cocktail lounge, and direct access to the Paul Bunyan Bike Trail. Longville is famous for its weekly turtle races, while Walker is bustling with activity, offering numerous shops, boutiques, breweries, and restaurants.

Fishing enthusiasts- You found your base! Trillium offers great large mouth bass fishing, but bring your boats and check out several of the 120+ lakes that are within a 15 mile radius of Hackensack, such as Leech, Ten-mile, Women, Birch, Pleasant, Stony, and Wabedo
