About this property

BEAUTIFUL LAKE CABIN with Amazing Views! Only 1 hour from Mpls St.Paul! RELAX

Welcome to our cabin, Sailor's Cove, directly on West Rush Lake and get ready to relax. This full season cabin offers amazing views from the deck or patio and has approx. 100 feet of shoreline. Boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, relaxing, games, campfires, fire table, 2 lakeside restaurants and oh the view… the list goes on. Enjoy beautiful Minnesotan seasons on the lake! This is your escape! Views and wildlife, cozy places to relax and good restaurants to eat at, we have it all! In the summer you can fish right off the dock, bring your boat (public landing just minutes away), rent a boat or use our canoe/kayak and explore approximately 1500 acres of recreational enjoyment. Plus there are over an additional 1000 acres of water accessible thru a short channel to East Rush Lake! What could be better? Islands, bays, restaurants, sunrises and sunsets all just waiting for you to enjoy!

You can enjoy looking at the lake from the new deck off the main level or from the expansive patio below. We just added a "fire table" to the deck which has quickly become a special spot to enjoy the views. One of my favorite things is sitting with a cup of coffee on the second deck, the "sunrise" deck, aptly named for the view. A cozy fire pit on the patio is surrounded by comfy furniture for relaxing evenings and reminiscing. Listen to the loons and watch eagles soar overhead, wildlife abounds! The cabin is situated on part of a peninsula which adds more privacy and lake views. The neighborhood bar/restaurant, Grumpy Minnow, is a quick 5 min. boat ride around the bend or a 15 min. walk thru the neighborhood. Flickabird's is another lakeside bar/restaurant that is accessible thru the channel to East Rush Lake and a marina.

We are close to several wedding venues in the Rush City, Cambridge and Stanchfield areas. The cabin is a perfect place to come together as well as wind down.

Our calendar is up to date so if a date is open it is available.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU COME UP AND STAY AWHILE!

The cabin has 4 bedrooms:
*Large Masterbdrm - Queen bed plus a Queen size Murphy bed (folded up against the wall)
*Lakeside bdrm - Queen bed
*Cottage bdrm - Queen bed
*Twin bdrm - 2 twin beds
*There are 2 bathrooms with showers.
*The kitchen has a long breakfast bar (seats 3) that comes in handy for buffet meals or a quiet breakfast looking out over the trees and lake. A barnwood table and built in buffet bench offer plenty of seating (8) for meals and games.
*A desk/work area is adjacent to the kitchen table and often gets used as a snack/beverage station for grabbing yummy items on the way to the deck.
*New oven and microwave in 2020, new fridge in 2021, new dishwasher in 2025
*The upstairs living room opens unto the new large cedar deck with a gas grill and a large patio table that seats 6 comfortably with room for 8 (plus a new fire table for 4).
*There is another living area in the lower level with a new gas fireplace/stove for game night or watching movies on the flat-screen TV via Roku. A bar area and beverage fridge are conveniently tucked along one side. The second bathroom is located in the lower level allowing quick access from the patio and lake. The laundry room is located next to the lower bathroom and has a front load washer and dryer for your use.
*The walkout patio offers various seating/conversation areas and a firepit.
*2nd deck along the side yard stairs offers great views of the sunrise/lake or just quiet reflection away from the main cabin.
*Flat lakeside yard for games (Corn hole boards/bags, Badminton and Bocce Ball available
*Canoe, kayak and Lily pad available free for guest use

If you are feeling lucky after catching all those fish, then a 20-minute car ride brings you to the Grand Casino in Hinckley. If live music sounds great then head to one of the nearby lakeside bars, the Grumpy Minnow or Flickabirds on the weekend. There is even an 18 hole golf course, Bulrush, nearby at Rush City. The towns of Rush City and Cambridge are both within 20 minutes. In true 'up north' fashion there are food raffles and fun bars in the area as well as many wineries and antique shops so there’s always something to do.
Ice fishing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are perfect winter activities along with a good book snuggled up to the fireplace.

There is a 2 night minimum Sept. thru May (holidays may have 3-5 night minimums) and a 5 night minimum June thru August with a 5% discount for 7 or more nights.

The cabin was amazing, leaving us very relaxed during the stressors of the wedding weekend. The kids loved the outdoors and fishing from the dock. Host communication was the best. They were very responsive and helpful with requests or questions.

We had a fun Labor Day weekend on Rush Lake - beautiful weather, fun on the water, and the cabin was great - very cute, well stocked and laid out and worked well for our group. The kids enjoyed making s'mores by the fire pit at night and playing games at the large kitchen table. We also enjoyed grabbing meals at the nearby Grumpy Minnow and snacks at Flickabirds one afternoon when we were filling up the boat. The lake does have some hazards, but our hosts suppled information about that and were great at communicating - reaching out in advance to make sure we packed what we would need for our stay. Very nice cabin close to the TC - fun weekend was had by all!

Our stay was the ideal weekend getaway we hoped it'd be. The property was clean and perfect for a cabin trip with lake access, firepit, and grill. I greatly appreciated the responsiveness and communication of the host. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cabin trip just outside of the twin cities.

Great

Very well set-up - lots of kitchen and outdoor items for use. It felt like a home and not a rental property. Very beautiful landscaping. Owners were very quick to respond to all communications. Quick and easy drive to Cambridge for major stores. Rented a pontoon from wesellsleds com and was allowed to use the dock at house.

Overall, a great place, close to the city. Kinda quirky layout of house. Missed not having a TV in living room off kitchen. Very nice one down stairs, but we all were together upstairs and would have enjoyed having our morning coffee with some news/entertainment. I do wonder why 2 (of the 6) patio chairs that were ripped and unusable, were not removed and the first thing I noticed on the patio??? Also, the canoe needs some repairs.Everything else was good.

Break from daily rush at Rush Lake

Our family was very impressed with our stay. The location is far enough to escape the Minneapolis metro, but close enough to minimize travel time and centralized for extended family getaway. The home was well stocked from bathroom to kitchen to game room/garage to outdoor patio and lake toys including canoe/kayak. Bedding was clean and comfortable. WiFi was flawless. Dock fishing yielded bluegill, largemouth and northern pike. Much time was spent watching the hummingbirds on the patio and eagles routinely soaring overhead. Fantastic experience from host with excellent communication. Thank oyu.

Relaxing time and Great Fishing

This was the 14th year my brother and I with our families have rented cabins. Our 3rd time on Rush Lake but 1st on the West Side. Great Fishing. Tonia and Shannon were great working through the VRBO app issues but the house and outdoor spaces were just what we expected. Thanks for a great stay.

Great spot for a guys weekend away

A group of neighborhood dads took a winter weekend away to cook, play cribbage, and laugh. We had a great time at the cabin. It was perfect for us with plenty of bedrooms, a great kitchen for cooking (very well appointed) and the views are fantastic. A couple of dads rebooked the cabins for their families later this spring and summer. The communication with the owners was excellent. This is a great rental.

Excellent Lake Property

5 adults, 3 children, and 2 dogs stayed for a five-day, four-night annual getaway. The home had plenty of room for all of us and we loved the two separate living areas so everyone had room to spread out. The deck and patio areas were wonderful. The kitchen was by far the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in any VRBO/Airbnb places we have stayed at. The kids LOVED the ping pong table in the garage, and the murphy bed was also a big hit. We enjoyed our stay immensely and communication with the owners was so easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lake Time Enjoyment

Beautiful setting. Nice place, plenty of space. Enjoyed the patio (relaxing w/beverages at night and the full moon across the lake), lower deck (sunrise with coffee), upper deck (grilled out), and dock (great fishing - caught Large Mouth Bass, Crappie, Perch, Bluegill, Walleye, and Rock Bass). Great time canoeing along the shore line, checking out the properties (there's even a sea plane docked). Good food/dinner at the restaurant around the corner.

Great place for outdoor entertainment

We were in the area for a rehearsal dinner and wedding, but had another 1-1/2 days that we spent with family. The kitchen and dining space is set up for groups of up to 11 adults. There is also a nice space for outdoor dining that comfortably seats 12. We enjoyed a fire one evening and there is plenty of seating and space to hold 12 people. They also have a nice lawn for playing games and a dock to cast out a line. Very enjoyable and hosts were very accommodating. One negative is there is not much space if you like to spread out your things to get ready in the bathroom, so bringing something along to set toiletries or a curling iron on might be helpful.

Pleasant Lake Home

This property was a central location for reuniting with family. Plenty of space and also accommodated our four-legged family members. Enjoyed time around a fire and relaxing on the multiple level decks. Kitchen was well supplied when we realized there was additional storage by the counter stools. Only complaint would be better lighting in the kitchen and dining area. Mattresses also left something to be desired. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by OWNER

Host profile image
We are "newly adjusting" empty nesters. We have loved spending as much time possible with our kids at the lake. With their college years and new jobs, our family time has changed and become more limited so we decided to share our cabin with others. We hope you make wonderful memories and love it as much as we have!

Why they chose this property

A cozy cabin feel with modern touches! We love feeling like we are "away" and enjoying nature, but it's nice to have an airy, clean feeling as well. The unobstructed views off the deck and patio are unmatched by any other property on the lake! Yet we still have a flat yard next to the water and a woodsy feel to the sides of the property... truly the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

A 1 hour drive you say? Sign me up! We can go for the day or the week. And with 2 lakes with 2 bar/restaurants right on the lake, with a friendly up north feel, we were sold!
