About this property

Verna's Good 'Nuff Cozy Cabin on East Rush Lake!

Charming, rustic cabin on East Rush Lake in Rush City. Lakeside, tin roof screen porch faces west to watch beautiful sunsets or listen to the rain fall down. Kids will love the tree swing in the yard. Fire pit ring down by the lake shore. The BEST sunsets. Lower level of cabin is pet-friendly (see note below). This little place has everything you need for a real cabin experience that Laverne would love to see you have in her old place! Dock access and 2 kayaks for use. 2 restaurants on the lake accessible by boat!

IMPORTANT NOTES: Ceilings are especially low downstairs (around 6’6”). If you are exceptionally tall, this is NOT the place for you. PET POLICY: Pets are allowed downstairs only. There is a door to the upstairs to keep pets off furniture. You MUST disclose if your pet is coming when you book. There is a additional pet cleaning fee that is added when you check the box at the time of booking ($75). This is for additional time spent cleaning cabin before the next guest and your honesty is required.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The six of us had a very enjoyable stay at Verna's. While it is small it met all of our needs for the weekend. With six people we were excited to see that while there was only one bathroom, there was a second toilet. We made good use of the screened room. As we told Katy, we had to leave early due to a malfunctioning boat motor. Cabin was clean and well kept.

Nightly Show!

We loved this cabin and the chance to watch the sunset from the enclosed back porch. The kitchen is well stocked with pretty much everything you'd need to cook, the bathrooms have the FLUFFIEST towels I've ever seen in any lodging, and the sound of the lake is so soothing. We were disappointed in the WiFi (connections didn't last long), but everything else was absolutely lovely. So many places to hang out, inside and out. It's a great place to stay!

Hi Angela! So glad you enjoyed the cabin. I know the wifi situation has been a struggle. This old cabin isn't equipped with any wiring for it so we've been using extenders from our cabin next door but you're not the first to have issues with this... I think I will look into figuring out how to get this upgraded for next season. Appreciate your honest, but kind review!

About the host

Hosted by Katy Kiek

Host profile image
My name is Katy, Minnesota born and raised. Long time lover of being on the water, and home-improvement projects. I’ve spent countless hours working on this little cabin with my dad. My parents acquired the property next door to their original cabin, and intended for little Verna’s to be torn down and built-on, but after watching it sit there unoccupied for a couple years I convinced them to let me “fix up” the old cabin so we could utilize the extra space for family and friends. My family and I have been spending our summers at this lake for the past 9 years or so, and it’s one of my favorite places to be in all seasons of the year.

Why they chose this property

This cabin has fantastic character! Originally built in the 60’s by a thrifty builder, made from “leftovers” he stashed away for years. Hand-prints are still left on the rafters from the dirty hands of the framers. The original owner sold the cabin to the next owner with a pontoon for $15,000 and then that new owner left the cabin to his 2 daughters, one of them named Laverne (who my parents bought the cabin from). I love the older single-hung windows, plastered walls, hand-made fireplace, and weathered doors. We’ve found so many cute little things in this place that you will find on display in the cabin, such as an old fishing map from the 70’s and some old handmade boat anchors. This cabin has been so well-used for decades that you can be carefree staying here and your pets can be included in your vacation without worry!

What makes this property unique

Such a short distance from the cities, this is the perfect getaway. The layout of this cabin is unique with the sleeping upstairs and the kitchen/dining downstairs in the “basement”. You come out the kitchen door into the screen porch that faces the lake and in the summers, you can leave the doors open and let the outside in. The floors downstairs are aged concrete - so no need to worry about kids running in with wet swimsuits off the lake!
