You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

MINNeSTAY* Lakefront Hideaway Waterfront | Serene

This special cabin is maintained and was built by a craftsman who has been building custom homes for 25+ years. Dubbed "Lakefront Hideaway" for its rustic charm, it boasts the classic log cabin allure you're looking for and will make you feel right at home.

The living space is filled with floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you a beautiful view of the lake and those amazing Minnesota sunsets. If you want an even better view just head down to the dock and watch the sun set directly across the lake. The kitchen is fully stocked and even includes a large island, with plenty of counter space to cook or entertain, with full-size, updated appliances.

Spread out over 1,700 square feet, Lakefront Hideaway comfortably sleeps 6 people. There is one 1 queen bed in the main floor bedroom, and another queen-sized bed in the upstairs loft area. In the second bedroom above the garage, there are 2 twin beds and plenty of room to accommodate a queen-size blow-up mattress. The loft includes a television with an assortment of classic VHS tapes and a comfy couch and chair. Spread out in the living room on the main floor with brand new furniture, and enjoy the fireplace while you play games before bedtime.

Outside you will find a large patio with a beautiful built-in fire pit, as well as a large yard for activities. No residents or homes are across the lake, so your view is pure wooded forest. You can relax in the hammock, kayak the lake, grill, or play bean bag toss, all of which and more are available when you book this cabin. The dock is large enough to accommodate a boat and/or jet ski, and the public access is just down the street, making this the perfect quiet and relaxing cabin getaway.

This lovely lake property was just what we needed following the death of a close friend. We were thrilled to see loons, pheasant, bald eagle, deer, and Sandhill Crane. Enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and games.

Fantastic 5 night stay
This cabin stay exceeded our expectations! It was clean and had everything we needed, great kitchen and fun games too. I don't really like swimming in Minnesota lakes usually, so for me to like swimming there is a big deal, is was kinda warm and not weedy. The view is gorgeous , we have nothing bad to say at all. Thank you very much!

Beautiful Cabin
This is a beautiful cabin. We rent a few VRBO's per year and this was the cleanest. Very cozy, nice views of the lake, comfortable beds, upgrade amenities throughout the cabin. We love to fish, while we only caught some small sun fish, the dock was nice. We were up for a funeral, so it was nice to have family join us and enjoy the fire pit, enjoy the views and share stories.

Fantastic Cabin!
The cabin was the perfect spot for a relaxing change of pace weekend. A manageable drive from the city to a small lake where you feel like you're miles away. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with linens, towels, kitchen supplies, etc. The kayaks and fire pit were added bonuses for our group. We will definitely return.

Our hidden escape
This property was accurately described in its listing: Very quiet location, beautiful lake, and a very tasteful, well-built home. We soaked up the views from inside or from the lovely patio. Perfect place for me to read two books in one week. We definitely recommend this piece of Minnesota heaven.

Beautiful getaway
The cabin/lake home was beautiful, cozy, and welcoming. Beautiful view on the lake, a great patio with fire pit, and plenty of space. It's only a short drive to nice hiking trails, and if you're into it, you can check out the biggest ball of twine in Darwin (a 5 minute drive). Very happy we chose this place.

R&R at the Lake
Very clean and modern A frame cabin with a loft and plenty of room. Large backyard patio with a fire pit and all of the amenities you would expect. A walk down to the dock reveals a smaller farm country lake that lends itself to small craft and kayaks. Lots of quiet and chances for relaxing only 90 minutes from the cities.

I would defiantly recommend
This place was so beautiful. We went in the winter and the lake view was gorgeous. You can’t walk down to the lake though from the cabin in the winter. I would think this would be great for the summer! You could fit probably 10 people here with a couple air mattresses. Plenty of room upstairs to put them. Kids have a cute area up stairs to hang out too if you want kids upstairs and adults downstairs. We did a girls weekend and would defiantly come here again!

Peaceful Getaway
My husband and I decided to take our adult sons on a short getaway. It was perfect! The setting is quiet and peaceful and the cabin is beautifully done and well stocked for all of our cooking needs. We are really happy with our choice and we would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing peaceful setting and getting away from the electronic world which we were. Thank you!

Lake Relaxation
This lake home was exactly what we hoped it would be. The home was EXTREMELY clean and was private (except the neighbor's garage to the north of the property). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook (which is good because there isn't anything nearby) and the bathrooms / linens provided were very nice. The lake itself was very quiet and small, which is what we liked. We were able to use the kayak's provided to go all the way around the lake in less than an hour. The water was a bit murky, so swimming wasn't good. We used the fire pit every night - it was so nice to have all the fire wood provided! We had spectacular sunsets every night and clear skies for amazing star gazing. The only draw back was no washing machine and dryer. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations and allowed us to have a very relaxing experience.

Great cabin!
We stayed at the cabin over Memorial Day weekend and it was just what we needed! The cabin is awesome - clean, comfortable, and well stocked (kitchen and garage). The view from the cabin and patio is beautiful! The patio was a great relaxing place to hang out and we lucked out with great weather. We enjoyed the kayaks, fishing off the dock, the hammock and the firepit (firewood provided) in the evening! Would definitely recommend and also would go back to the cabin in the future! It is in an area without much around but the cabin/lake was all we wanted and needed!

Perfect cabin on a lake just over an hour from The Twin Cities
The three bedroom, 2 bath cabin was spotless, welcoming, and the huge windows onto the deck and lake provided amazing views. It was quiet and a made to order spot for our Girls Get Away. Our only disappointments were that there was no WI Fi connection, and while a TV is advertised it is only for DVDs.

Recommended for a lovely relaxing getaway
We had a wonderfully relaxing time kayaking, swimming and fishing at the Lakefront Hideaway in Litchfield. The cabin is really cozy and comfortable and the views were awesome. The management company was very attentive and had great customer service. We have only a couple suggestions; first the couches could use a cleaning or reupholstering/slip covers and a ladder to get in and out of the lake onto the dock would be nice.
