Wonderful property with a really cool history. I enjoyed reading about the North Star camp and exploring the property to try to picture it is as a bustling summer camp. Woman lake is amazing and Longville is a short drive and has some fun shops and good ice cream. Plus, there is an eagles nest with fledglings!

Amazing property!

We really loved our stay at Fran and Jeff’s cabin. As others have noted, the property is truly one of a kind, while the cabin was clean and well appointed. On top of that, Jeff was really responsive and helpful when we needed anything. We’ll be back!

Great Location, Great Space, Great Hosts, Great Lake

The house offered lots of space for our family of 4, and was super comfortable. Great air conditioning set up to keep you cool for hot nights, great yard for yard games, and a firepit by the edge of the lake to enjoy the stars by. Super clean house with all the modern conveniences while still having some lake cabin charm.

Relaxing and private getaway on a beautiful northern MN lake

We loved how private and spacious Jeff and Fran’s property is, it’s a historic gem, we enjoyed learning about the history of the property. The cabin was beautiful and had all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay. Our 4 & 6 year old boys loved the bunk beds, building bonfires and jumping off the dock. Highly recommend Jeff and Fran as gracious and kind hosts!

Perfect Getaway

This is a true gem. The interior of the property was immaculate. Fully equipped kitchen ( minus food of course), bathroom, bedrooms and basement laundry facility. The property is beautiful, setting along the north shore of Woman Lake. Birds, squirrels, deer and even an eagles nest right in the property. We visited in early October and were greeted by gorgeous fall color. All I can say is… perfect.

Perfect Stay!

I would give this property a 10 out of 5 it was so clean! Our family has been renting cabins from various locations for almost a decade and this one was by far was the best. The location was secluded and spacious. (The history of the property also put a fun spin on the whole experience!) The cabin was clean and so well kept. It had a cabin vibe with all the perks of home (AC, dishwasher, washer/dryer). Jeff and Fran were so welcoming and responsive. We stayed 9 days and no one in our family of 5 wanted to leave. We spent a ton of time on the dock and fishing. A true Minnesotan summer vacation. I cannot say enough good things about this rental. Truly a gem! Thank you Jeff and Fran for a wonderful experience!

Misleading and Inaccurate Description

Upon arrival at the property, we were initially happy and impressed with the land and the space surrounding the house. However, we soon realized that this was not as described by the listing and the owners...While the listing describes the rental as being "your own private resort" and "acres of privacy with over 1500 feet of shoreline," this turned out to be absolutely false. The owners live on the property in an adjacent house, and apparently let people onto the property whenever they feel like it. We were very surprised to see a large group of rowdy and loud young men driving their ATVs around, playing volleyball, and running around the property. When we flagged this with the owners, they said that their son was having a bachelor party and would be using the property for their activities. We were never asked or consulted on this, just told that this would be happening. Jeff said that we were "welcome to continue to use the dock and other facilities on the property" and that they were shared with them. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior and completely false advertising for the house and property. We were seeking solitude and privacy in the northwoods, which was exactly why we chose this rental in the first place. Had we known that we had to share the space with a bachelor party, we would definitely have not rented this house in the first place. The house itself is fine, but basic.
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jul, 2025
So sorry you were unhappy with your experience.. Our personal home, where the bachelor party was taking place, was NOT on the rental property and did not disturb the renters. The boys walked next door to the play volleyball 🏐 n an area which was over 130 yards away from the rental house behind trees. When the renters complained, the boys finished their game (per the renters permission) and then left. They were playing volleyball for less than an hour. The renters review is unfair and inconsistent with the dozens of 5 star reviews we have received from other renters.

Woman lake vacation

Jeff and his wife are the most welcoming and accommodating hosts! The property is newly renovated and well maintained. Lots of privacy with your own dock for swimming and fishing on one of the most cleanest lakes. It is close to the towns of Longville and Hackensack where we had fun biking for miles on Paul Bunion trail. This vacation property will definitely go on our “favorites” list!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Fran

Host profile image

Jeff and Fran are retired and now live full-time on Woman Lake.

Why they chose this property

Established in 1900, North Star Camp (NSC) was one of the oldest resorts in Cass County. The resort originally consisted of a log lodge with 12 individual log cabins. It was completely self-sufficient, with the owners growing their own crops and raising their own livestock. NSC ceased operating as a resort in the 1960s and the current owners have worked to preserve the history of the resort, including the remaining four cabins on the property.

What makes this property unique

Acres of privacy, 1500 feet of beautiful shoreline, eagle's nest, wildlife, lagoon.
