About this property

Charming Log Cabin on Beautiful Lake Butterfield

Quaint log cabin nestled in the woods on 800 feet of private lakeshore on beautiful Lake Butterfield. This peaceful retreat offers a serene setting inviting you to slow down, rest and relax while reconnecting with nature and yourself. Sit on the large front porch with your morning coffee and enjoy a stunning view of the lake and an abundance of wildlife and a symphony of birds.

This cabin has all the amenities one needs for the perfect getaway. Take the canoe, kayak or paddleboard on the lake or go for a swim. Read a book in the hammock, play a game of bocce ball in the yard or roast marshmallows at the outdoor firepit. Bring your bikes and take advantage of the Cuyuna bike trails in nearby Crosby or the Paul Bunyan Trail. For the golf enthusiast, courses are close by including Emily Greens, Crosswoods and Golden Eagle Golf Club. And don’t forget putt-putt in Crosslake!

Snuggle up on cooler days next to the wood burning fireplace and play games or take a nap. Visit popular Crosslake minutes away to enjoy restaurants and shopping.

Peace and tranquility awaits!

Family get together

This property has everything you are looking for a north woods experience. The loons, the fish, the heron(lots of wildlife.) It doesn’t take expert fishing know-how to catch fish off the dock. A rod, a hook, and a worm. Any child will be impressed with your fishing acumen. The cabin is clean, organized, and has everything you need for a complete vacation experience. Our family will definitely consider another visit.

We quickly felt at home in this lovely cabin on a peaceful bay filled with water lilies. The owners do a great job anticipating the needs of their guests and make the cabin very welcoming. The access to binoculars, fire pit, canoe, kayak, and paddle board was much appreciated. Thank you!

Great Getaway

Our family had a fantastic vacation at this lovely log cabin by the lake! We used the canoe a lot and did some fishing. Our stay had several rounds of rain but we stayed in the cozy cabin and played games. The location is close to a couple small towns that have everything you need. The front porch was nice to relax on and enjoy all of God's creations.

Cute Log cabin in the woods on a smaller lake, had a fun time catching small sunfish off the dock, and using the 2 kayaks and canoe. Had to be the time of year we went, but the lake level was very low so weren't able to do any swimming from the dock. Had to paddle through 100 yards of lily pads to get to open water, pictures from listing were a bit misleading in that aspect. Lower level of the cabin where the game room is, was either really musty or had very strong air freshener smell - tolerable but very strong odor. Overall a fun little get away.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept, 2025
Thank you for your review. The water level is low due to the lack of rain which of course, is out of our control. In regards to the basement, I am sorry for the mildew smell. I can assure you that we will be investigating the matter and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Cecily Johnson

About the host

Hosted by Cecily and Seth Johnson

Host profile image
Seth has been spending his time on Lake Butterfield since he was a little boy. His parents bought a place near the log cabin in the 60’s. When Cecily started dating Seth, she too fell in love with Lake Butterfield. After getting married and having 3 kids, they decided to purchase their own place on the same lake. Then the opportunity arose to purchase the log cabin. Situated between his parent’s place (which is now owned by Seth’s sister) and 30 acres of land they purchased years ago, it only made sense to buy it. We know you will enjoy the beauty and tranquility as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

If one is looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this private log cabin is for you. The driveway is 1/3 of a mile and brings you through the woods to this delight right on the lake. There is nothing better in the morning then getting up and having your coffee on the porch and watching the wildlife. The lake is big enough to enjoy watersports and swim, but because there is no public access, the lake is never too busy.

What makes this property unique

The only authentic log cabin on the lake. This cabin was built by the former owners from a kit which was purchased in Montana. Very unique indeed!
