Couples fall fishing trip
This cabin was great, ample room for 3 couples and having the extra half bath was nice. Doug and Cathy have everything covered so you can just come and enjoy. Dock space for our three boats, with power at the dock. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to visit Winnie

Great place
The family loves this house and it worked perfect for us. The kids fished from the dock and it was close enough to our friends cabins that it was an ideal.

Great Place on (or near) Winnibigoshish
We booked this place last minute, but the process couldn't have been easier. Everything we could have possibly needed was in the cabin, along with some welcome candies on the dining room table. The home was amazing, and the three bedroom/two bath layout was perfect for us with a 4YO and 15 month old. Super cozy, but with enough room to spread out and feel like you're really on vacation. We were only able to use the fire pit on the last night, but that specifically was a great experience. I'd love to stay there again in the future. Thanks for having us!

Awesome place!
We stayed 3 nights at this cabin and it was an amazing place to stay. The dock system was perfect for our boats with shelter over the top of them. The cabin was very clean and they thought of everything to supply. We loved it so much we are already discussing when to book again. Thank you for the amazing stay!

A perfect spot!
This is our second straight having fishing trip on Lake Winnie and staying at the cabin and it was just as great as the first. The cabin is exactly what you would need; from the dock on the Mississippi, to the fire pit out back, to the spacious bedrooms and living room area, to phenomenal hosts. This is a perfect rental property and we would recommend it to anyone. Thank you Nancy & Doug!

Perfect Getaway
We had a wonderful 3 day stay. The cabin was clean and ready when we arrived. The accommodations were comfortable and included everything we needed for a fun family weekend. We did some fishing and really appreciated the easy fish cleaning station and the outdoor freezer for the fish trash to be left in. The fire pit made for great evenings and the view was peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and already planning to return with friends.

Gorgeous, scenic cabin life
This property is peaceful, cute and has everything you need for a great stay. Nancy and Doug think of everything that would need from fish cleaning to all the house amenities. We had an unfortunate accident with our boat trailer and didn’t get to explore lake Winnie but we did limit out on leech one day with a guide! At night the fire pit and videos down the Mississippi as the sun sets are absolutely as good as it gets in northern mn. Only thing I’d let future guests be aware of is the owner of the resort next door isn’t a big fan of the vrbo next door so keep that in mind if you venture over :) Overall 5 stars! We went to Chippewa national forest and the Norway beach (13 min drive) when we didn’t have a boat and it’s on cass lake with great beach and picnic area plus hiking trails. Highly recommend.
