About the host

Host profile image
We’re a busy family of five who love spending time together and creating lasting memories. When we’re not enjoying our cabin ourselves, we’re thrilled to share it with guests so they can relax, recharge, and make their own special memories here too.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin sits on 1.5 peaceful acres. It is far enough out to feel completely secluded, yet only 20 minutes from Detroit Lakes with great shops, fun activities and local restaurants. We love the quiet, starry nights, the open space to unwind, and the perfect balance of country serenity and nearby convenience.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin truly stands out for its rustic charm and one-of-a-kind design. Originally a converted garage, it offers a cozy, creative layout you won’t find anywhere else. Families especially love the dormer window nooks that give kids their own special sleeping spaces. With clear waters perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating just steps away, it’s a fun and memorable getaway for all ages.
