Summer Lake Cabin Fun with Private Sand Beach - Pets OK

Get ready for Summer, and make memories with your family at this year round, pet friendly lake cabin with a sand beach. Enjoy the gorgeous views overlooking the lake, play outside, or cozy up to a bonfire, and take in the scenic views of nature at your doorstep. Enjoy the sand and water from your own private beach or fish from the dock, jump into the paddle boat, or slip into one of the kayaks or paddle board for a little more adventure.

Buffalo Lake cabin offers privacy with the luxury of having the cutest little town less than a minute away. Check out the Farmers Daughter Icecream establishment, visit the Richwood Grill for takeout, and shop at the Richwood Store for all your needs. There is a liquor store only a minute's drive as well and we are also near 3 Bears Golf Course and the Tamarac Refuge. It is a very short drive to get to Detroit Mountain for their seasonal festivities, for skiing and tubing, or to enjoy the downtown events in Detroit Lakes.

If traveling in the winter during a period of heavy snow, some cars with less tire traction may have difficulty getting up the driveway. In the past, guests have parked at the top of the hill but it has rarely been an issue.

We had a wonderful weekend at the lake. We were welcomed right from the start with a gift basket of goodies. The couch and throw blankets are perfect for curling up and watching movies. The cabinets were stocked with necessities in both the kitchen and bathroom- seasonings, coffee, first aid, sunscreen, laundry detergent, shampoo, and even some toothpaste in case you forgot. The kayaks and water toys were well clean and well maintained. And the beds…best beds, pillows and linens we have come across in any rental thus far.

Cozy Cabin Christmas
The cabin was the perfect size for our family of 7. We arrived in the evening, it was dark outside and we were greeted with a very cozy ambiance. A warm and beautifully decorated cabin that resembles a Hallmark movie set. The fireplace was on, and the welcome basket had perfect snacks for us hungry travelers while we made our dinner. The cabin was very clean and was also well equipped, from our necessities to entertainment, tv(s), puzzles, board games, and a roomy 4 season porch for our 10 years old to run around in. The host was very easy to reach when we had a question. We are planning to go back this summer too❣️

Buffalo Lake - 5 Stars
We had an excellent week in the sun and on the lake at this cabin. Plenty of room to spread out. The cabin had everything you’d think of looking for and more. Would stay again and would highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

Very Rustic cabin that could use updates. Very small master bedroom and kitchen. Kitchen had poor working space, no dishwasher or disposal. Overall cabin lighting was poor. Beach, firepit and Grills were great as was the deck. This property was overpriced for the size and amenities.

Excellent place!
This place was amazing! Perfect for family time - lots for kiddos to do and our dogs loved it! Clean, cozy cabin feel and decor, and had everything we needed (fully stocked kitchen with appliances and cooking utensils, toiletries, etc). Ramey was very communicative, and we had no issues with our stay. Nice dock to tie the pontoon, clean beach with sand, and good swimming. Caught lots of panfish, perch, northern pike, and bass. Welcome binder and basket were a nice touch. A+++
