Perfect vacation in this beautiful cabin.

The property was beautiful - we loved watching the sunrise in the morning and hearing the loons. The cabin itself was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen had everything necessary to have meals at home instead of going out. My husband enjoyed the proximity to the trail for his morning runs. We also had perfect weather which added to our enjoyment of this cabin. We would definitely stay again.

We love the cabin on Garfield Lake! Very new, clean and has everything you can think of (I found a boat plug in one of the drawers!). It was a peaceful and stress-free vacation stay.

Cabin on the Lake

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin on the lake. The kids loved spending time on the dock fishing, and took the kayaks out to meet the local loons. The cabin had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and we always had hot water when showering. The Door was a sweet little spot to try for coffee and breakfast, and we loved running up to Walker to see the local shops. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice Minnesota lake getaway

The cabin and property are very pretty. The lake is a natural lake so there's some grasses and natural vegetation around the banks and dock. It was very peaceful and nice place. Cabin is very spacious.

Peaceful cabin!

This cabin was perfect!! It had everything we needed! Lots of fun fishing from the dock and fires in the fire pit! Super comfy bed and furniture! Cute and friendly grocery store just down the road! We walked on the Paul Bunyan trail that was right there by the road! The cabin description listed bicycles but there were no bicycles there! We would definitely go there again!!

Peaceful lake getaway in the woods

Very grateful for our 2 week stay at this beautiful cabin. Already booked it for 2 weeks next summer. Great location! 20 minutes from Walker and 40 minutes to Itasca or Bemidji — so off the beaten path of packed tourist places but close enough to easily visit. My travel companion is 81 and the place was terrific for her bad back and mobility needs - a walk in shower, sturdy and comfortable furniture and beds. (There are 3 steps up into the cabin but a sturdy railing so very manageable.). We love cooking and the cabin is stocked with equipment. Loved sitting on the huge deck and soaking in the beauty. The owner was quick to respond to messages and very gracious. It’s a gem of a place.

Wonderful place to stay.

This beautiful cabin on Lake Garfield was a perfect getaway for our family! We had good fishing and the property had everything we needed. There was quick response when needing to speak to the property owner. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Very nice fish shack to clean your daily catch at the end of your day. Local grocery store within walking distance. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Great cabin, peaceful stay.

What a beautiful cabin! It really did have everything we needed, and then some! Spare propane for grill? Check! First aid kit? Check! Griddle for pancakes? Check! Crockpot? Check! Even the beds were super- comfortable, and that's not easy to find at a cabin. Beautiful flowers, beautiful sunrises from the deck, fun to watch the hummingbirds. We kayaked most days, biked most days (loved that the Paul Bunyan trail is literally at the end of the driveway), and enjoyed every meal on the beautiful deck. Very quick responses from the host. We will definitely be back!

Comfortable Cabin

Nice, clean, comfortable cabin. Felt very at home. Water even tasted good. Being able to walk my bike out to the peaceful Paul Bunyan Trail was so easy. The lake is weedy along the shore, but public beach has sand. Fish cleaning house was very nice, but we didn't fish. Overall very nice place!

Perfect lake home getaway

We loved our 6-day stay on Garfield Lake! This home had everything we needed + lots of extras that made our vacation week memorable. Super clean and very quiet, great communication with the owners. Town is a quick walk away. We will always remember the pair of loons who visited near the dock literally every evening and greeted us with their call every morning. This was exactly what we were looking for and we feel lucky we found it! Thank you so much.

Great Fishing Vacation 🎣

This cabin is perfect for a wonderful vacation. Cabin is clean and has everything you would need for a great stay. Amazing fishing in lake garfield! The only thing I would say is this lake is not for swimming. ALL WEEDS. There is a public beach on the other side of the lake thou. Also very narrow drive way with lots of trees and rocks so beware. All in all 5 stars. Great cabin.

Awesome lake house

Myself and my family really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful home and lake. We caught fish and just generally enjoyed our time outdoors relaxing. Kids loved the fact they still could have Wi-Fi. And nice to watch a movie on smart tv on the day it was raining. Overall recommend this property for all. A+

Great cabin

I am all about honest reviews and I have to say this cabin was wonderful. Very clean, well stocked, comfortable beds, clean water (that's a big one). There is only a few things I would let other renters know before saying at this cabin. The driveway is VERY narrow with close trees and boulders. We have a large truck pulling a fishing boat and you have to be very skilled to get in and out of the driveway. The other thing I wanted to warn other renters of is the lake. We rented in late August and the entire lake is weeds. Amazing for fishing (caught some big fish) but don't plan on Swimming. All in all wonderful cabin. Would say again!

Just what we needed

This cabin was perfect for the six of us to disappear to for a week before school started. Nice open layout, great deck for spreading out on, and nice little fishing lake. Secluded enough to feel alone and relaxed, but close to town for necessities.

About the host

Hosted by Jan Schlichting

Host profile image
We purchased this property in May 2018. All the furnishings are new and the cabin has been cleaned from top to bottom. This is a vacation home for us and we love it. We would like to give someone else the opportunity to stay and enjoy this beautiful peaceful place while we are gone. We have found a wonderful manager here in the Walker area who will be available to you for a any questions or problems that might arise during your stay.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in the Walker Area for over 30 years camping and boating on Leech Lake and the surrounding area every summer. When we retired we decided to buy a cabin instead of bringing our camper and boat with us from Nebraska.

We found this wonderful property and instantly fell in love with it. We look forward to coming back every year.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful custom built Log cabin on approximately 1 acre with many mature trees on a very quiet secluded road. There is also a fish cleaning house with running water and a freezer. The Paul Bunyan Trail is across the road from the end of our driveway. Excellent trail for bikes or walking. Laporte is just a 1 mile down the road with a excellent grocery store, gas station and city park with playground equipment. There is a public dock for launching boats into Garfield Lake.
