The cabins are great places to stay. Clean with unique decore. We had everything we needed. It is a small cabin that works great for a small family or couple. The manager was very helpful and friendly. She referred us to great services (boat rental, etc).

Amazing getaway
We truly enjoyed our stay at Dam Cabins. Tiffany was an amazing host. The cabin was as described, nicely updated, clean and comfortable. We didn’t have any issues with anything. Not even any flies or mosquitoes in the cabin. It was a nice and quiet getaway without all of the noise of lots of other guests. Peaceful. Our dog had a blast hanging out by the fire and playing in the yard. We will definitely be back!

Perfect cozy cabin that is pet friendly if you need a place to stay close to the big lakes. Not much to do in the immediate area, but worked perfect for me to drive to Winnie to fish or Leech lake. Great updated cabin for the single person.

Everything was every clean and well kept. The advertisement for ice cream was very misleading for it to only be frozen ice cream sandwiches. We enjoyed our stay for what we needed it for.

Quiet, quaint cabin
The cabin was just what my wife and I needed for a brief weekend stay. We appreciated the minimalist approach and loved the renovations that had been done to upgrade the place. Communication with the host was quick and efficient. Barring an issue with one of the window latches not latching and flies finding a way to get in, we had a great time. Would recommend for any couple interested in staying near Leech Lake or Walker. For those wanting to be near downtown Walker, keep in mind that it's a 35-40min drive, but you have a chance to see some incredible scenery along the way, especially in the fall.

Quiet and comfortable getaway
We spent 4 nights in the Bear Den cabin which was cute and comfortable. The newly remodeled cabin is clean and had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing few days. The decor (furniture and artwork) is whimsical and enhances the cabin-life experience. There isn’t a lot around, but we enjoyed some nice walks as well as visits to some “nearby” (within 30 minutes) towns. Tiffany is a great host…very friendly and responsive!

Definitely returning!
Decided to get away for a few days, before the startup of another school year. This property and location were just what I needed. The cabin truly exceeded my expectations and the property was just a short 10 minute drive to Lake Winnie. Tiffany was awesome and very accommodating, even purchasing a gas grill just before my arrival. I will definitely be returning next summer.

We took the week to go hiking with two dogs and found this cabin and it was perfect! Very clean and listed well. The neighborhood was not ideal but worked for us. We were staying here at night and going hiking during the day so this worked perfect!

My hubby and I wanted to get a short get away from the city and get some fishing in on Lake Leech. We absolutley loved the cabin and customer service that we received from Tiffany. The cabin is fully updated and has a cozy warm feeling at the same time. It was super clean when arriving and had all the ameneties we needed.

My boyfriend and I stayed here over the fourth for a quick getaway with our two dogs. The location was great! Right off the road in the small town of a Federal Dam, walking distance from the water, there’s a boat launch and ATV trail nearby, and within driving distance to other nearby activities. The cabin was so cute and looked exactly like the pictures! The property is nice and Tiffany was so kind and helpful if we had questions. 10/10 definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Peace and quiet--just what was needed
The cabins have been completely redone so everything looks (and smells) new. Cozy and comfortable, and if you need anything, Tiffany is eager to please. Be sure to meet her adorable dog and cat while you're there, and enjoy long walks. Thanks for the great stay--I look forward to returning!!
