Hunters Paradise Cabin

Welcome to Back 40s cabin. The cabin was just built the summer of 2022. We are located in Northwest Iowa. The cabin is 1600 square foot with a heated 1200 square foot attached garage. Pets are welcome in the garage. We have a few kennels you are welcome to use. The cabin sleeps 8, with 2 full size beds in 2 bedrooms and a queen size bed in the third bedroom. There are 2 full size bathrooms along with a full laundry room. The cabin will be nice and cozy on those cold days with in floor heat throughout the entire cabin and garage. The hunting dogs will love it after a long hunt. Guests will not have to worry about pets being able to get aired out. You will also not have to worry about your pets safety, as they have their own space in the garage.

There is a gas grill available for your use. There is also a chest freezer to utilize for your game. We are ¼ mile from the road. Pets are welcome to run the yard and use the ponds to swim but no hunting is allowed on the property.

We feel the Back 40s cabin is in one of the best locations in Iowa for hunting, boating, and fishing. For the hunters, there is thousands of acres of public hunting just steps from the cabin. The cabin itself sits on the north end of Trumble lake. We have 3500 foot of lake shore and the duck hunters are welcome to park the boat along the shore for an early start without having to put a boat in the first thing in the morning. The cabin is just minutes from Barringer slough, Dan Green Slough, and Dewey's pasture water fowl production area. All the places carry high numbers of ducks, geese, deer, and pheasants. In the future we may have an option for a guide on pheasant hunting. We will have some great Wirehairs for you to watch and enjoy a hunt. For the fisherman and boaters, we are 5 miles from Lost Island lake, 20 miles to Okoboji and Big Spirt.

Great hunting retreat
This place is great. Just what the doctor ordered. 5 of us with 5 dogs for pheasant hunting. Huge garage with kennels and heated floor for all the puppies. Everything inside was great. Fully stocked kitchen utensils, pots, pans, spices, ziplocks, etc. Even though we brought most everything, it is nice to know that it is there if you need it. Nicely decorated. Would be happy to bring my wife the next time. Super clean. Highly recommend this stay. Also, very private. You can see the pride of ownership. Wish I owned it.

Amazing!
We loved it, a peaceful setting not far from Okoboji! Lots of room & fun to sit outside in the mornings on the patio taking in the scenery! The most comfortable couches I’ve ever sat on. Can’t wait to go back!

Hospitality at its BEST
These owners are the BEST! They want you to communicate with them and they are very understanding! Pat came out after we lost some power and fixed it immediately! He also spoke about great places to fish which is what we were interested in! Very knowledgeable of the area and wants you to enjoy your stay! LOVED IT! All my kids cannot stop talking about how awesome the cabin and the land is! Planning our next visit soon!

One of the best places I’ve stayed
Stayed for a weekend with friends on an upland hunting trip. Lodge was AWESOME! Beds were comfortable and had everything we needed. Heated garage for dogs to stay was a huge plus. Lodge has a great open kitchen/dining area/kitchen that was stocked with any supplies you need. Pat was a great host and extremely helpful. communication was excellent. I could not recommend this place enough. Property was beautiful and I’d like to take my family back in the summer for a relaxing getaway. You will not be disappointed if you book this place.
