About the host
Hosted by Paul DesLauriers
Paul is the heart and hands behind this stunning log cabin style rambler. A retired police officer, skilled carpenter and master fisherman, this home is a charming reflection of his passions. Over the ten years he has owned this property, he has put every piece of wood, rock and stone in place to create the beautiful up north experience we all love.
Friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to help guests reel in a big one, Paul thrives on teaching and sharing his lifelong knowledge of Lake Osakis. If you are taking advantage of the guided fishing excursion during your stay, you are in for a treat! Paul doesn't just know where the fish are biting, he knows how to cook up a legendary fish fry.

Why they chose this property
Osakis is a quiet, charming town. Population 1771. It is a lake that I grew up on and that I would bring my kids to when they were growing up. There is always good fishing, clear, deep water, stunning wild life and friendly people.
What makes this property unique
Lovingly transformed by Paul, a skilled craftsman and avid outdoorsman, this "cabin" blends rustic charm with the comfort of a modern home. with a cozy stone fireplace, updated amenities, space for your whole crew without a hint of "roughing it". You'll also find the fully stocked man cave/garage perfect for card games, movie nights, or passing the time on a rainy day. Outside there is a place to clean your catch and prep a lakeside feast.
