About this property
Prairie Cabin Of The Lac Qui Parle "Lake Which Speaks"
•We are a safe place for BIPOC/LGBTQIA+ folks to enjoy the prairie•
A quintessential, little, rustic cabin on the prairie bluffs of the Minnesota river is what we have to offer. Located on the edge of the Lac Qui Parle hunting refuge, and minutes from the Lac Qui Parle Lake State Park, this small cabin has HUGE potential! It is set up similar to the rental/camper cabins that are available at many of Minnesota's state parks. So if you're more into camping and the outdoors, and less into hotel travel, this is right up your alley! This 600 sq. ft. cabin has electricity, heat, air conditioning, and an outdoor water spigot, outdoor shower, and a separate toilet room equipped with composting toilet (port-a-potty also available). The kitchenette includes a fridge, microwave, and electric stove top with 3 burners. One bedroom with additional sleeping space in loft area. Outdoor patio fire pit and benches face west overlooking the Minnesota river valley and some spectacular sun sets!
Located near the Lac Qui Parle Wildlife Managment Area, the Lac Qui Parle Lake and state park, there is plenty to do and see for the outdoors seeker. Or stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural Minnesota gem of a cabin.
The cabin built by hand by the owner. All wood was locally sourced or reclaimed. Taking the better part of four years to build and get ready.
One owner does reside on the property with a large dog, Shadow, and a couple cats; the cats roam the property freely, but Shadow does not roam freely during rentals. The cabin is separated from the house by a grove.
