Property details

The Space Welcome to your 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront cabin on Whitefish Lake in Garrison, Minnesota. This spacious retreat sleeps up to 10 guests with 3 queen beds, 2 full beds, and twin bunk beds. The main cabin offers three bedrooms, while the fully heated and air-conditioned loft over the garage provides a fourth area for sleeping and lounging — perfect for older kids, teens, or couples who enjoy extra privacy. Need to mix work with play? You’ll love the charming “She Shed” office, a separate workspace just steps from the main house, providing a quiet spot for remote work or creative projects while still being close to the action. Outdoors and Lake Access Step outside to your private dock on Little Whitefish Lake. Spend mornings fishing, afternoons swimming or paddling, and evenings around the firepit under the stars. The expansive yard and peaceful setting are ideal for both relaxation and small gatherings. Note: Little Whitefish Lake does not have a public boat launch, so boats cannot be launched directly from the property — the dock is best suited for canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and small hand-carried watercraft.

Such a beautiful place to stay! We did a friends trip here and it was exactly what we were looking for. Right on the lake where we paddle boarded around, and also had plenty of space to hang inside on the one rainy day. We had a baby in the group and the loft above the garage was a perfect spot where the was able to have their own space at night. Truly a perfect spot and would absolutely come back!

We had such a wonderful family vacation at this adorable Cabin! It was so clean, which was very refreshing as sometimes rentals tend to be marginal when it comes to cleanliness & it was dog friendly ta-boot! Thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful property, with our family and our dogs! We all loved it, our 3 year old cried when we left, she didn’t want to leave… it was that much fun!!

We were so pleased with our stay. It was a beautiful piece of property on a nice quiet lake. If our grandkids weren't swimming, they were fishing off the dock. We enjoyed paddle boarding and relaxing by the campfire. The home was spacious, clean and fully furnished with our day to day needs. The communication from the hosts was always quick, but honestly they prepped us to the point that very little follow up was necessary. Thanks so much for taking good care of us!

Very peaceful property and lake. We enjoyed our family vacation. Beds were comfortable, space was clean and well stocked. We had fun on the water, caught a few small fish and relaxed a lot.
