Cute Little Cabin

The cabin is cozy and adorable. Close to the lake which is beautiful. The furniture, while old fashioned, was extremely comfortable. We spent a ton of time relaxing on the red couch! Had a few minor issues. The chain in the toilet kept coming loose, causing issues with flushing, and the water pressure in the sink and shower were near nothing. It was also extremely cold in the bedroom, despite us adjusting the heat, and the portable heater in the bedroom did not work. Overall, we seriously enjoyed our trip! I’d recommend this cabin to couples looking for a nice weekend to rest and relax!

A great 2 nights in MN!

Cabin was just what we were looking for. Something quaint and on a lake. Owner was very helpful with questions I had about the area prior to the trip and we even got to know their friendly neighbors. My favorite memories were early mornings on the dock with coffee and sitting by the campfire with a "non-coffee" drink listening to the loons. Kids loved being in a real log cabin!

About the host

Hosted by Wanda Hart

David and Wanda Hart welcome you to Camp David. Our family cabin has been the memory making machine for our family! With 4 adult children, their spouses and grandchildren, we have loved every minute spent at the cabin. We love to travel and would like to share our cabin with you. It's both quaint, charming and not like any other.

Why they chose this property

Like us - when you drive down our lane and see this red cabin for the first time, it is love at first sight. It was for us when we bought it in 1985. Up for a weekend of looking at lakeshore lots, we came across this cabin when looking at Grandma's old cabin down the road. Having grown up coming to this area since the 60's, seeing the charm of this cabin, it became a part of our memory making like grandma's before us.

What makes this property unique

The charm of the red log cabin caught our attention first - but then when we walked to the lake and saw the swimming area, we knew it was perfect. You can see to the sandy bottom of the lake for a long ways out. Fabulous swimming, boating and lake fun are the greatest memories along with the famous sunsets!
