About this property

Cabin on Norway Lake, 2 bedroom/sleeps 6

This cozy cabin on Norway Lake in the Backus/Pine River area offers beautiful views of the lake and sky. Perfect to see the sunset, stars, and the Northern Lights. The cabin offers a full kitchen, 3/4 bath, and 2 bedrooms with a queen fold out couch bed. We have 1 acre for plenty of outside games with 2 bonfire pits and a dock to fish off of. The cabin is 1 mile from the Paul Bunyan Trail and 13 miles from the Spider Lake Trail. Not to mention only 20 minutes from downtown Nisswa, Leech Lake, and the White Fish Chain/Cross Lake area. With so much to do you'll have a great adventure!

We had such a pleasant and relaxing girl's weekend here! Very clean, all amenities we needed, quiet and beautiful views. We had everything we needed and great communication with the host. Had a couple inquiries on arrival which we got quick replies to. It's such a lovely cabin and was just the right size for us.

Good clean property

Very nice place to stay, very comfortable and great communication with the owner. My only comment would be limited access to the lake. We took our boat to other lakes to fish but there is no beach at this cabin.

Amazing Cabin Retreat

We came out to visit nearby family and this cabin was perfect. We appreciated how well stocked the place was, the location and tranquility. We even went fishing off the dock and practiced some catch and release. We loved our stay so much and will definitely come again. Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin.

A Perfect Stay!

We had a group of 5 and 2 dogs that stayed here for the weekend of my son's wedding. The property is so nice; made me wish it was June instead of April. Cabin is super cute and very cozy; all of the amenities are there for sure! The property owner is super nice and very quick to respond. We could not have been more pleased. I would recommend this property without hesitation.

Cabin on Norway

Cabin was very clean, and in a nice location. Living area was nice sized, and kitchen was well appointed. There is no central heating system, instead there are heaters on the wall in the kitchen & the bathroom, and baseboard heating in the living room. No heaters in bedrooms, so we had to leave the doors open. Bedroom didn’t have bedside lamps or plug ins for phones near the bed. There were no welcome instructions as you would usually see in a rental, which is nice to explain the best way to manage the heating, TV instructions, or local guides to restaurants etc. This would have been very helpful on check in for this cabin.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar, 2024
Thanks for staying! Thats electric baseboard heat for ya, the rules are by the thermostats thanks for seeing the rules and turning the heat down before you left. The restaurant and anything else to do was in the newspaper basket in-between the couch and recliner. I don't have a lot of rules just put your trash in the garbage can outside when you leave, turn the heat down in the winter, and obviously lock the door when you leave.

This was our final destination in a 3-leg vacation to the PNW. The owner communication, while short, was prompt and responsive. The house was very clean and this rental had the best linens of any VRBO I've stayed in hands down (and I've stayed in about 20 over the last 5 years). Kitchen equipment was clean and the kitchen itself was large for the size of the house, which is excellent for preparing meals. The patio was lovely and the view made it a great place for dining.The setting was absolutely lovely and quiet/peaceful and the location was extremely convenient. Coupeville was our favorite town on the island. My only very small critique is that there is very small signage out front, so if you are unfamiliar with the area, you have to be very careful to follow host instructions to find the place to a tee. Our GPS had a hard time keying in on the exact location. It could be that the local authorities don't allow large signage, but the address numbers could use better illumination or contrast on the sign. It wasn't impossible, however. Just follow written instructions.This was an excellent place to stay and I would highly recommend it to fellow travelers.
