About this property
Rustic Retreat on the River
Retreat to this rustic one room cabin. Enjoy natures beauty on 25 acres of Gods Country. Fish the Whiteface River, hike, kayak, bird watch or just relax on this secluded land.
**Cabin is has power as of July 2024**. Bring your own water. An outhouse is on site. We provide a 5 gallon dispenser of water during your stay.
We are approximately 5 miles from the welcome center of the Sax-Zim Bog. Perfect get away for bird watchers.
Only about 45 minutes to Duluth, MN and 40 to Cloquet, MN and 40 minutes to the Iron Range, MN.
Relax at our Rustic Retreat!! Enjoy all our property has to offer. We have trails on 25 acres where you can hike along the river and around the property without having to worry about seeing any neighbors. There is state land nearby. The beautiful northern land offers access to hunting, snowmobiling, four wheeling and much much more!
There are many ATV and Snowmobile trails nearby. We have two fire pits available for roasting marshmallows or relaxing by the fire. We have a grill to grill outdoors.
Check out the restaurant, The Wilbert Cafe located in Cotton, MN, just 10 minutes from the cabin. The El Toro is next door if you want to grab a burger and a drink. Simek farm is just down the road, only one mile away. They have live music in the fall, hay rides and lots of activities during the fall months. The colors are breathtaking in the fall with the leaves.
If you need anything we are just a message away! We are excited to host you.
If you are interested in an experience that sleeps more guests, check out our other VRBO located in Brookston, MN called Rustic Cottage on the River.
Security: We have three actively recording cameras overlooking the front yard to where you access the cabin and screenhouse areas. There is also one actively recording camera facing the driveway. All devices are on the exterior of the property.
