Rustic and cozy, the cabin rests on a hilltop among 40 acres of woods along a paved road in northern Minnesota. Base price of 300 per night for up to 4 adults, with one cleaning fee of 250 for any number of nights. Extra adults are 50 each per night, but children stay at no extra charge. When booking, please state only the number of adults, and then send a message indicating the number of children.

There are multiple lakes in the area to enjoy, as well as wintertime downhill skiing at Buena Vista Ski Area, just 25 minutes away.

About the host
Hosted by Jodi Smith
We are a farm family from central Minnesota. The cabin has been our vacation spot for over 20 years. We added the kitchen/dining/loft area to accommodate our growing family, and now the grandkids get to enjoy it, too.
Why they chose this property
If you're looking for peace and privacy, you will find it here, tucked away in the north woods. The property is on a paved road about 30 minutes from Bemidji, MN, and all its attractions.
What makes this property unique
FOR KIDS TO STAY FREE: The base price is $300 per night, for up to 4 (adult) guests. For each "additional guest" the fee is $50 per adult per night. Children under 18 stay at no extra charge, so you should not include the number of children when booking your stay. (Please just send an email to inform us of the number of children, and assure that each child is accompanied by a legal parent or guardian, for safety.)
