About this property

Beautiful Home just 25' from shoreline of Leech Lake just 5 minutes from Walker

Whether your dream vacation is boating, water sports, fishing, shopping and dining or reading a book on the shores of a beautiful Northern Minnesota lake you need look no further. This lake home provides the perfect setting for a family or several couples to take in fun filled days, relaxing evenings by the campfire, watching the sunset or dining at one of the area's great restaurants only minutes away. Walk 25 feet down to the dock and enjoy the beautiful sandy bottom beach, perfect for swimming and playing.

The house consists of an original red cedar log home with a kitchen, bath, bedroom, great room / dining room and a comfy loft with plenty of seating for relaxed gatherings. An addition was constructed in 2009 adding a full laundry, foyer, master bedroom suite with a gas fireplace and flat screen TV, walk-in shower and 2 guest bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs.

The home accommodates 8 people very comfortably. You'll find northwoods decor, leather furniture and the ambience and amenities you would expect in first rate 'Up North' home.

The location is perfect. A short walk and you are on the trail system. 3 miles from shopping in Walker and only 5 minutes from the area's finest dining at The Boulders. You'll find plenty to do in the city of Walker with the historic and beautifully rebuilt hotel Chase on the Lake, Reeds Sporting Goods, area restaurants and specialty shops to appeal to all.

The house is uniquely situated only a few feet from the shores of beautiful Kabekona Bay. Access to Walker Bay and Leech Lake is a quick 2 or 3 minute ride East across the Bay. Don't miss out on an experience you won't forget!

The house is only .3 miles from over 100 miles of trails for snowmobiling. Put your fish house (rentals available - just message us for info) out from the cabin on Kabekona Bay where the walleye fishing is waiting for you!

We have stayed at this VRBO for years and will continue renting whenever possible. The property is beautiful and quiet. The bay is great for our pontoon with a great dock. The cabin is spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We already booked twice for next summer and can’t wait to get back there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Perfect Ice Fishing Weekend

We had a great weekend in this cabin, it was equipped with everything we needed!!! Monica was fast to respond to all messages I sent her before, during, and after the trip. There was plenty of room for 8 adults for a long weekend getaway. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cabin to anyone.

Old Crony Annual Golf Outing

We have stayed at VRBO listed properties all over northern Mn lake country for years. There is finally unanimous consensus amongst 8-70 something Yr old dudes that we have found our "go to" for future events. The pics and description of this beauty are spot on. It is a majestic place. The "extras" as far as provisions provided however are above and beyond anything I have ever experienced in 35 yrs of renting vacation spots. Finally, Monica is professional, responsive and a delight to do business with.

Lovely Family Weekend

We had a wonderful long weekend with my family. There were 4 couples and each family was comfortable in their own room. The kitchen was easy to use and had all the tools and equip. that we needed so our meals were really nice too. There were good hang-out spaces for folks to take a break when the hustle and bustle of the larger group was tiring. It was a lovely family weekend and the location and house were just right for us. Thank you.

Snowmobile get away

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! We had 2 families with 4 adults and 5 teenagers. The cabin was spacious and well appointed. We enjoyed the close proximity to the snowmobile trail. It was a little tight getting the snowmobile trailers turned around in the yard. The owner was very quick to respond when we had trouble with the door lock and reset the code for us. Overall great experience and would definitely stay here again!

All was wonderful at the home.

We had a great winter escape. Home was cozy and spacious, very comfortable. All nice amenities but I think it advertised as queen beds and they were double beds in all but the master. So cozier than expected. Down side was the check out time of 10:00 am and the door code stopped working at 8:30am. Found this out when my husband was loading the car and could not get back in the house, luckily I could let him back in. Be wary of this if you have smaller children, you could get locked out and have to call the owner to get back in to continue packing. I recommend the door code not be changed until actual check out time at 10:00 am please. Overall a great stay!!

Wonderful Cabin and great location

We just got back from a wonderful week at The Point Cabin. The lake was beautiful, the yard and lakeshore area was perfect for relaxing and playing, and the cabin was perfect! The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, utensils, and appliances, the beds are comfortable and the cabin is very large to accommodate a larger group. It is a perfect mix of new and old and has a very comfy up-north feel while still having all the conveniences of home and is very clean. Our group ranged in ages from 1 to 76 years old, the accommodations were great for every age. There is a boat launch very close and we even had great fishing off the dock! Ensure if you are here in the summer and have a boat you explore the channel between Kabekona Bay and Lake Benedict as it was very beautiful and fun to explore! The owners were some of the best I have worked with in terms of homes I have rented before. They were very friendly and helpful in answering any questions we had. I have a few tips for those with young children...do not forget a baby monitor and consider bringing a baby gate! We did not bring a baby monitor and it would have been helpful as the kids (1 and 3 years old) slept in the upstairs bedrooms in the very back of the house and it was hard to hear them if we were downstairs. Also there are 2 sets of stairs to the 2nd story and the front set of stairs is not very kid friendly (and of course our kids loved playing on it). I'd consider bringing a baby gate to put between the front and back sections of the loft and something for the bottom of the wooden stairs.

About the host

Hosted by Monica McGill

Host profile image
The Point Cabin was purchased by our parents in 2000 after more than 15 years of staying at resorts on Leech Lake. Our parents restored the cabin to like-new condition and added on in 2008. Sadly, our mother passed away in 2010 and life took our father in a different direction. In 2018 we had the opportunity to purchase the family cabin. We look forward to not only our family continuing to make memories in our beloved home, but for your family to make lifelong memories here as well!

Why they chose this property

After vacationing in the Walker / Leech Lake area for many years, falling in love with the area and making many friends we decided we wanted to own a property here so that we could spend more time enjoying all that we had come to love. After much looking we chose a charming red cedar log “cabin”. It was a private refuge with a secluded, calm “up-north” feeling. Over the years we remodeled and finally added on in 2009 creating an amazing retreat. Life then took us in a different direction and we didn’t have the time to spend at the lake that we once had. We decided to maintain our family cabin and make it available to others as a remarkable rental property.

What makes this property unique

The Point Cabin, as we call it, is uniquely situated on a small point of Kabekona Bay affording incredible, panoramic views of this beautiful Northern Minnesota lake. You will enjoy a 180 degree view of the bay. A mere 25 feet from the water the cabin provides an intimacy with the lake that few other properties can. Less than 10 steps and you are on the dock. There is also a beautiful lawn to enjoy lawn games, a fire ring for the marshmallow roast or relaxing and telling your favorite Minnesota ghost stories. Cast a line from the dock, take a swim in the sand bottom swim area or read a book in the hammock. A short walk and you can access the area's trail system or rent a boat/jet ski and enjoy fishing or water sports on this protected bay. Prefer shopping or dining? The Point Cabin is located about 3 miles from downtown Walker and even closer to one of the area’s finest restaurants, Boulders (Reservations recommended!). Whatever you decide to do on your vacation, this is the place to do it.
