About this property

Peaceful cabin retreat on Clearwater Lake (4 season)

Our cozy family cabin sits on Clearwater Lake located 7 miles NW of Chisholm/Hibbing and 7 miles from McCarthy Beach State Park.
Well maintained, newer built cabin, with 2 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 twin over full bunk) 1 gas fireplace and 2 spacious rooms with radiant floor heat throughout. Professionally decorated simply in a vintage camping lodge style.
Shallow sandy swimming beach, perfect for kids. Full dock and firepit to enjoy s’mores by the lake. Outdoor charcoal grill.
Enjoy abundant fishing off the dock on this pristine spring fed lake. Enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting on the dock and listen to the call of the loons. And in the winter, watch the deer feed out front as you sit by the fire. We have games and books for those snowy/rainy days.
This is a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
*we have also added a row boat & paddle board for guest use

Relaxing get away

Late Oct 2024 Karen was so nice and gave us very accurate information on hiking areas nearby. It was also easy to check in. The cabin was cute and clean. We spent a lot of time by the fireplace while enjoying the view of the lake. The kitchen was fully stacked. Was even provided fresh water, coal for the grill, and firewood for the pit. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful cabin on a peaceful lake

A north woods cabin located on a quiet and remote lake? Yes, please! Clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. Games, blankets and a fireplace add to the cozy feel. Host communication was prompt and helpful.

Great short stay

Lovely spacious cabin providing a nice retreat away from the elements. We biked on the Mesabi trail and it was close enough to be convenient, only downside was the voracious mosquitos which prevented us from spending much time by the lake.

Very comfy cabin

The cabin is very comfortable and well appointed. The setting by the lake is lovely and we enjoyed a bug free evening by the firepit! The weekend we were there (late august), the potable water had a very strong smell to it that was hard to ignore even a while after showering. Fortunately, the fridge had two gallons of fresh water for coffee and drinking. You might want to bring more water if you plan on cooking or using more.

Perfect family getaway

My family and I loved staying here. The cabin was clean, cozy and welcoming. There was no tv or WiFi, but that ended up being okay. Sometimes it’s good to unplug—and force the kids to do the same. Would definitely stay here again!

Another great week at Clearwater Lake

This was our 4th year staying at the Bensons'. It has turned into a treasured family tradition. We live only about 40 minutes away but don't have a lake property in the family. Our annual week on Clearwater allows us to do all of the classic Minnesota summer things - rowing, paddleboarding, swimming, fishing, and campfires, plus the convenience of home! So grateful you're willing to share your place with us!

Excellent getaway

We had a great time. The cabin heated up and was toasty warm. We enjoyed the campfire. All the amenities were very nice to have! We brought our own drinking water. The location is close enough to Hibbing and Side Lake where there is plenty to do. Highly recommend!

Get-a-way

We loved this property and our time there. It was quiet, peaceful and serene. There were lots of things to do nearby. The Side Lake store (recommended by the owners) had great ice cream! The owners were very accessible and helped us navigate a medical emergency well. My kids were able to catch lots of fish, (thank you for the row boat) and had so much fun swimming. The neighbors were quiet.

Perfect Cabin Getaway

My husband and I took our two teens for a northern getaway, and this cabin was absolutely perfect. We loved sitting by the lake, using the paddle board, relaxing in the hammocks, swimming, and making campfires each evening. Communication was always easy and we got almost immediate responses to all of our inquiries. If we didn’t live so far away, we’d come back often! Thank you so much for a magical MN time away! Also, we loved watching the resident lake loons. They are wonderful.

Lovely lakeside property

Most tastefully decorated property I've seen in the area. Very nice furnishings. Lodge without being overt and tacky. Sandy beach. Paddleboard was hours of entertainment (first time for 9 y/o daughter and myself)! Enjoyed the row boat a lot, also. Good tv options for rainy days in addition to board games. Proximity to Side Lake dining, McCarthy, etc. We are Iron Rangers without lake property so rent a cabin for a week each year - I am booking next year now!
