Cozy Lakeview Chalet
Looking for a unique, peaceful getaway with lake access and country charm? This cozy cabin offers just that—a relaxing escape tucked in the countryside, only 2 miles from the small, friendly town of Wadena.
Inside, a spiral staircase leads to a loft with a queen-sized bed. The spiral staircase is a fun touch, but something to be mindful of, as it may not be suitable for very young children or older guests. The main floor includes a small bedroom with bunk beds and a full size sleeper sofa in the living room, making it ideal for families or small groups.
Enjoy the convenience of a small kitchen equipped with a microwave, coffee maker, and glass stovetop and small dorm size fridge. The bathroom features tile flooring and a walk-in shower. Relax in the living room with a comfy couch, oversized chair, and a dining table for meals or games.
Step outside to soak up the serene setting—there’s a spacious wrap-around deck and a set of stairs with a landing that takes you right to the lake. Guests can use the kayaks, rowboat, or canoe provided (life jackets required and included!).
Please note:
The spiral staircase requires caution.
This is a self-check-in rental on a gravel road in a rural area—you may encounter local wildlife or the occasional bug.
Your stay is designed to be self-sufficient, and you may be without host assistance during your visit.
If you're looking for a fun, off-the-beaten-path experience with character and calm, this is your spot. Thanks for considering our little piece of country charm.
*** The cabin is located near a small campground where you might see a few campers, mostly on weekends. If you have friends with RVs or campers, feel free to invite them to join you!
Guests are welcome to enjoy the kayaks and rowboat provided, along with life jackets for safety. Please note: swimming in the lake is not allowed due to insurance restrictions. Fishing is catch-and-release only, and we ask that you use artificial bait to help protect the fish during release.
There’s a $25 pet fee per stay.
To make your stay more comfortable, don’t forget to bring any personal items you might want—like an extra blanket or your favorite pillow. I don’t provide heavy blankets by default since I can’t launder them between every guest, but I’m happy to offer them upon request.
***
This is a self-check-in rental and is located on a gravel road, 2 miles from Wadena. Expect a rural setting with occasional wildlife or insects. If something doesn’t meet your expectations, I’d love the chance to make it right. Please reach out directly before leaving a review so we can work to resolve it.

This property was clean, reasonably-priced, and spacious. It was also remarkably peaceful. A good place to bring your family. Plenty of room to park your vehicles. The property owner was real easy to get along with and left clear instructions for those staying at the property.
We enjoyed our stay! It was a quiet and peaceful few days. We enjoyed being able to use the kayaks and paddle boat to do some fishing. It was a great, relaxing time!
Had a great family trip to the cabin! Andy was a great host. Great location to visit the little towns and explore Backbone! Caught an almost 6# bass in the pond!
It’s what we wanted, great fishing, peace and quiet. Only thing I would add is more shades to the front and back door. We had a neighbor park his camper across from us and we kept seeing him looking through the front door window. We locked eyes once . So more blinds for privacy.

Andy has done an excellent job providing the comforts of cabin camping! This is the second time we’ve stayed here and we plan on coming back again! The air conditioning was a blessing in this heat and the cabin was perfect fit for two, but plenty of sleeping options to accommodate more people if necessary. The peace and quiet is what I appreciated most about this stay, as neighbors were respectful and a far enough distance away to not feel crowded. From out the back door, you simply need to walk down some stairs and you’re at the lake. It was fun to fish and had some good sized carp and bass in it that provided us with plenty of entertainment. I really can’t say enough about this hidden gem of a camping location, you simply have to experience it.
We have 3 busy teens & just wanted to unplug for a few days before the school year starts back. We’re nature lovers & this fit the bill. It’s close to adorable little towns, all things nature, & we loved that we could take our two dogs. Andy was very helpful & friendly, the cabin was great, & we loved the views. The kids have even mentioned they miss cabin life a couple of times since we’ve been home. The only thing I’d recommend changing, on the VRBO site the description says there’s a hot tub with this cabin. Or that’s how I interpreted it. I’d remove that from the description. It was part of the reason we chose this cabin over the larger one. We’ll definitely be back though & will book the bigger cabin :) Thanks for a wonderful week, Andy!
Very quiet and relaxing. Truly a home away from home on the waters edge! Very few bugs and able to relax on the deck after dark or before the dun comes up if you are a
The check-in was extremely easy. The cabin was clean and comfortable for our family. The host was very accommodating and communicated with us throughout our stay. The pond was great, lots of fun fishing for the kids! We had a great time and we will be back!
Beautiful cabin with lovely scenery and a nice quiet are. Plenty nearby to visit and do. The only slight negative is we didn’t bring a ton of blankets (so bring yours!!). Other than that, this is going to become a regular trip for us. Andy is awesome.
This is a Great property, the accommodations were great, the host was great at answering questions a providing a nice quiet place to stay! We will be back! Thank you Andy for the Hospitality!
We brought the family here to give them a taste of the country. Andy is very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay!! Even the kids who were going through WiFi withdrawals, said they would have liked to have stayed longer. I would not recommend this property for small children, though.
To celebrate my husband's retirement, we sought a peaceful place with a pond to overlook. Because our stay was during week in September very few neighbors. This location was just what we desired. Loved listening to the nighttime owls, geese and coyotes as we enjoyed our fires at night. Enjoyed use of kayak and paddleboat. Because our stay was during week in September very few neighbors. Good comfy bed!
