Shallow entry into the lake-great for kids and floaties! There are two kayaks, 3 paddle boards, and a peddle boat for your use as well as a horseshoe pit and disc golf net! Bring your boat to tie up to our 180 foot dock! Rain day, no problem! There are tons of games and puzzles available at the cabin!

The atmosphere was just like home, comfortable and warming. Everything was furnished in the kitchen like pots, pans, dishes and appliances. All that was needed was your choice of food and snacks. The outside view of the lake was gorgeous. Fishermen were fishing. It is close to the downtown area. The host was great and stayed in contacted with us. Would recommend this charming cabin.

We had an amazing long weekend! Our dog had the time of her life running around and stalking fish from the dock. You can't beat the privacy and the lakefront access. The cabin was well stocked with all necessities-- including beach towels! The grill was awesome and we loved fishing off the dock!

My husband and I, with our two kids (14 and 9) stayed over the weekend and had a wonderful time!The cabin has a fully stocked kitchen, making meals easy. We took advantage of the board games available and the cozy living space! The cabin has its own lake access but is also located next to the public launch access - we loaded up our vehicle and drove out onto the ice for ice fishing!The community was hosting a Kids Fishing Tournament (free of charge) and we spent the day out fishing on the lake - everyone was so friendly and we appreciated being invited to this event!Spooner is located only 10 minutes from this cabin making grocery shopping and good restaurants, easily available as well!Kate, our host, was very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be booking again for another stay!

We stayed with our 2yr old lab and 11 yr old kid. Both had a great time! Very close to good restaurants and hiking trails. Kate was awesome! And the cabin was clean, well appointed and had a great beach, fire pit and dock. Great star gazing at night, including the Milky Way. Andromeda was faintly visible to the naked eye. Lots of board games to keep kids engaged.Very happy with the entire experience. Highly recommend for families.

The cabin was perfect for a casual bachelorette weekend with friends! Everything was clean and tidy, and we were really impressed with the number of amenities available to us. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes and cooking utensils we needed, and there was a whole basket of all sorts of toiletries for us to use. The lake and property were SO gorgeous and well-keot, and we loved watching the wildlife in the yard. We would love to stay here again!

Comfortable stay on a beautiful property

We enjoyed our stay so much on this beautiful lakefront property. The home was equipped with everything we needed. We did not use any outdoor equipment because our stay was short, but there were kayaks, paddleboards, and a pedal boat available. So grateful the home is dog friendly as well.

Had a great weekend staying at this cabin in Shell Lake!! We were in the area to cheer our son on at the 49th annual Berkie cross country ski race! Cabin is comfortable, well stocked and clean. Have visited 2x both in the winter, beautiful sunrise over the lake! I bet Lake views in the summer months are awesome!

About the host

Hosted by Kate

Host profile image
My family and I enjoyed renting a cabin every year...and we finally took the plunge and purchased one of our own! This beautiful handicap friendly cabin was built in 1995. It is on a 1 acre lot with no neighbors on either side-very private and a wild life preserve a stone's throw away! We enjoy making sand castles, sitting in floaties with our favorite beverage, taking the pontoon to town for dinner and fishing, fishing, fishing!

We decided to rent our cabin out during the times that we are not able to be there. We hope you enjoy your time on Shell Lake as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the sandy beach and flat 1 acre lot. We also enjoy being less than a 5 minute drive or 10 minute boat ride to town...but with no next door neighbors! We like that the cabin is less than 2 hours from the Twin Cities!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin on Shell Lake is unique in that it is handicap friendly on a flat lot with a dock and shallow lake entry. We have a resident loon family and I see at least 5 eagles every single time I am there. We also have a resident deer that enjoys our beach!
