Rustic, Remote, Dog Friendly, ATV, Snowmobile | Little East Lake Escape Cabin

ATV Paradise! + FISHING, SNOWMOBILE, SKIING.

Escape to this oasis in the heart of Lake Country right on Snowmobil Trails!

Escape to this quiet cabin in the woods. Tucked 15 minutes down scenic country roads between two lakes. Sit back and watch the wildlife walk past from the comfort of the porch, deck or snuggle up inside to take advantage of 180 degree views through the wide windows.

Cell Service and Internet availability are extremely limited so get ready to breathe deep and truly unplug!

The Escape consists of two lodgings, the cozy two bedroom Cabin and the grand four bedroom Lodge. We have separate listings for each. This is the listing for the Cabin - the Lodge listing and a listing for combined rent of the Cabin and Lodge together are also available.

The Cabin and Lodge sit on opposite ends of the Escape property, far enough apart to provide quiet and privacy if a different group is staying at the Lodge.

Escape from it all - Cell Service and Internet availability are extremely limited. The Lodge on the other side of the property does have WIFI available which may be available for your limited use and emergencies

Fully Stocked Kitchen and all linens supplied

Guests have full access to the entire Cabin, front porch, back deck and all outdoor spaces with the exception of the spaces directly adjacent to the Lodge and the breezeway and decks attached to the Lodge.
The garage attached to the Lodge and the detached garage space are not available for Cabin guest use.

LAKE INFORMATION
Our dock is located on Little East Lake (we do NOT have direct access to East Lake) which is classified as a Natural Environment Lake by the MN DNR. This means that it provides a fantastic habitat for a multitude of native plants and animals but it can also be subject to low water levels and abundant plant growth which can dramatically impact its suitability for human use. When the water is high enough the lake is wonderful for paddling but not for motorized boats - especially on our end of the lake. And while the ducks, geese and fish (and some of our canine guests) LOVE swimming in it, we do not have a spot for people to swim. We hope that you can appreciate and delight in the majestic show that this lake puts on for us each year as much as we do!

Please let me know if there is anything you need. It is my goal that this space be an escape and retreat for you however I am available at all times for emergencies and during standard hours to answer and resolve any non-emergency issues.

It is extremely helpful to have good contact information available for a member of your party in the event I need to contact you due to issue resolution etc. As the service in the cabin is limited I will do my best to notify you ahead of time if we need to be on site for any reason but please understand that may not be possible. We will keep any disruptions to an absolute minimum.

Little East Lake Escape is located in a peaceful & quiet lake community.
~All guests staying at the Escape must be considerate of others in the neighboring area. Noise disturbances will not be tolerated.(quiet hours are between 10pm-7am).
