About the host
Hosted by Theresa Williams
This photo is me and my husband and our three kids. I am the manager and will do whatever I can to make you feel welcome and comfortable during your stay at our cabin. I was born and raised in St Paul. Our family enjoys spending time here with our family and friends who all love it here! Our family, as well as our extended family, have spent many weeks at the cabin and formed lasting memories! It is one of our favorite places to be in the world.
Why they chose this property
Our cabin has a wonderful history. My grandparents discovered this beautiful property when my Grandpa was the camp director at Camp Foley on Lower Whitefish Lake in the 1930's. My grandparents built the cabin in 1952 and spent every summer here with their 10 children. It is now owned by the next generation. We have extended family with cabins nearby so we all love coming up to have fun and spend time with family.
What makes this property unique
The cabin has undergone several renovations with many upgrades over the years. We added new central A/C spring 2019! It has all the modern conveniences (including a state-of-the-art kitchen) but still retains the charm of the old days. Located on the north shore of Lower Whitefish Lake, it has the best swimming on the Whitefish Chain - hard, sandy bottom with no weeds! Cabin is beautiful, comfortable and lends itself to all kinds of family fun! Great for family reunions, entertaining family and friends. The fall is a wonderful time for quiet, restful weekends especially when the leaves are turning. Great place to enjoy 3 seasons of fun! Summer provides water sports & a place to escape the heat; Spring offers great fishing and hiking and shopping in nearby Nisswa and Crosslake; Fall is a panorama of amazing colors when the leaves change! Wonderful places for walks and we have a fantastic fire-pit on the bank overlooking the lake! There are also hundreds of great bike trails nearby!
