About this property
Crystal-Clear Ham Lake Family Cabin, Deck, Water Toys, 2 Hours from MSP
This classic Northwoods cabin is set on a heavily wooded lot with 150 feet of private shoreline on crystal-clear Ham Lake, offering a peaceful, family-friendly setting that’s ideal for slowing down and spending time together.
Lake & Outdoor Living
Ham Lake is known for its exceptionally clear water and quiet atmosphere. Because there is no public boat access, the lake remains calm and uncrowded, making it especially enjoyable for swimming, paddling, fishing, and relaxing by the water.
Guests have access to a private dock with a bench, a favorite place for fishing, stargazing, or simply sitting and taking in the lake. The cabin provides a variety of lake equipment, including kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, rafts, a diving platform, and a rowboat-style fishing boat with a trolling motor.
A large wraparound deck overlooking the lake creates space for meals, morning coffee, and long afternoons outside. The covered portion of the deck allows you to stay outdoors during light rain or warm summer days. A firepit near the woods above the lake offers a quiet, natural spot for evening fires and conversation.
Inside the Cabin
Inside, the cabin is comfortable, well maintained, and thoughtfully arranged for families and multi-generational groups. The layout includes two bedrooms plus an open loft, along with shared living spaces that work well for meals, games, and relaxing after a day on the lake.
The kitchen is well stocked for preparing family meals, and the cabin includes games and indoor activities for downtime.
Location & Area
One of the advantages of this cabin is its accessibility. Ham Lake is approximately two hours from the Minneapolis metro, making it well suited for long weekends and shorter getaways.
The surrounding area offers quiet country roads for biking, nearby mountain bike trails, and easy access to ATV trails in summer and snowmobile trails in winter, providing year-round recreation beyond the lake.
Important Notes
This is a quiet, family-oriented property best suited for guests who value a peaceful setting. It is not intended for parties or large gatherings.
Ham Lake has no public boat ramp, and there is no boat access for non-residents. Guests are welcome to enjoy the water using the provided kayaks, paddleboard, rowboat, and other lake gear.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Webb
We built this cabin on Ham Lake more than 20 years ago as a place for our family to gather and spend time outdoors. For many years it was a hub of summer activity — swimming, lake days, evenings on the deck, and time together away from everyday routines.
As our kids have grown and now have busy families of their own, the cabin isn’t used as frequently as it once was. When we’re not there, we’ve chosen to share it with guests who appreciate the same things that drew us to Ham Lake in the first place: clear water, quiet surroundings, fresh air, and time together in a natural setting.
This has always been a family cabin first, and we take pride in caring for it accordingly. Our goal is to offer a comfortable, well-maintained place that feels welcoming, relaxed, and thoughtfully set up for families and groups looking to unplug and enjoy the lake.

Why they chose this property
Ham Lake offers exactly what we were looking for when we built the cabin — and what keeps bringing us back year after year. The lake is known for its crystal-clear water, quiet setting, and relaxed pace that makes it easy to truly unwind.
Because Ham Lake has no public boat access, it remains especially peaceful and private. Boat traffic is minimal, the water stays clear, and the shoreline retains its natural feel. It’s a great setting for swimming, paddling, fishing, and enjoying the lake without crowds or noise.
The area feels tucked away and secluded, surrounded by tall trees and fresh air, yet it’s still easy to reach. Nights are truly dark, with clear views of the stars, and days are often filled with lake time, wildlife sightings, and long stretches of calm.
It’s the kind of place where you can unplug, spend meaningful time together, and feel far removed from the noise of the city — even if you’re only here for a long weekend.

What makes this property unique
The wraparound deck is one of the most distinctive features of the cabin and gives parts of the outdoor space a true treehouse feel. The open sections of the deck face the lake and are great for enjoying sunshine, fresh air, and lake views. The covered portion of the deck offers a comfortable place to relax during light rain or hot afternoons, surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature.
The cabin’s outdoor spaces are designed for spending time outside throughout the day. The firepit is tucked near the woods above the lake, creating a quiet, natural setting that’s ideal for evening fires and conversation.
Down by the water, the private dock with a bench is a favorite place for fishing, stargazing, or simply sitting by the lake. To make the most of Ham Lake’s clear, calm water, the cabin includes a variety of lake toys and water gear, including kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard, a rowboat-style fishing boat with a trolling motor, floaties, and a diving raft.
Together, the setting, outdoor spaces, and lake access create a relaxed northwoods experience that feels natural, comfortable, and thoughtfully cared for — a place designed for enjoying the lake rather than just staying near it.
