Cabin vacation rentals in Side Lake

We loved and enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place right on the Lake.Everything we needed for our stay was there and Heidi was very quick to get back at us when we needed help.We hope to come back again.

Great cabin on the lake. Perfect for us to have a few days away. Loved our stay!

Great cabin — comfortable, clean, quiet. Well-appointed kitchen. Nicely decorated interior. Spacious rec room with a very large screen TV. Easy access to boat dock. Mike, the owner, was staying in another cabin close by, he was extremely helpful and friendly. The cabin itself is in the community of Crane Lake, on the water. It sits in a row of similar cabins. A small store (fisherman-oriented) and couple of bar/restaurants are nearby, easily walkable. We used this as a base for day trips (hiking and canoeing) into Voyageurs NP and the Boundary Waters. You can also walk to and hike the Vermillion Gorge Trail from the cabin — recommended.

We had a fantastic weekend and are so glad we chose this cabin! Easy parking and a quick snowmobile ride from shore, and we especially appreciated the flexible check-in, check out, and responsive communication before and during our stay. The space was comfortable and had a lived in feel, like home away from home (games, books, throw blankets, night lights, etc). The kitchen and pantry had everything we needed and then some, the beds were comfortable, there were ample hooks and storage spaces for our gear, and plenty of room to share meals, puzzle, and chat. The space has incredible views, and is very private and quiet...this was an awesome weekend escape for ice fishing and unplugging. The sauna was fantastic and we wished we had at least one more day. Would love to come back any time of year!!

We had a wonderful stay at Michael's lakeside retreat. The photos represented it well and we were especially pleased with the detailed directions for the route off the highway. The fireplace was a treat. Our only struggle was remembering which switches controlled which lights… even though many of them were labeled, we still had to guess/remember several times. The heaters in each room were effective and the kitchen was well-stocked. We certainly recommend Michael's North Bay Getaway.

Hidden Minnesota gem. The place is even better than the photos. Serene, extremely tranquil. Beautiful lake and lots to do for kids and adults equally. Love coming back to this place.

Perfect place for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Well appointed kitchen with just the right equipment to be able to cook nice meals. Setting was beautiful, we really enjoyed watching the house birds and the changing weather on the water.

We spent Christmas here and it was perfect! There were 11 of us, 4 who were 7-18 years old. The game room was awesome, we loved the living room space and kitchen was so perfect. There were plenty of beds. The setting was beautiful and we were able to cut down our own Christmas tree which only added to our amazing Christmas. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy this space!

We had a wonderful time swimming, fishing off the dock (caught a nice sized large mouth bass & panfish) and boating. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and screened in porch. We used the fire pit one night before the mosquitoes came out. We didn’t use the hot tub. We rented a pontoon from Brett at Island View Resort. He also sold bait, gas and a map of the lake with tips for fishing the lake. We caught crappies, bass, panfish and northern. The bunkhouse was prefect for our two boys. Our daughter enjoyed the loft room. It was nice that there were 2 fans. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having a large electric skillet. Didn’t use the washing machine except for washing the towels before we checked out. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the large dining room table -used it to play games in the evening. We’d definitely recommend getting peanut butter twists from Pattens restaurant in Orr. It was a very relaxing vacation. We’d definitely rent it again.

This cabin was wonderful. It fulfilled our needs while we were visiting family in the area. Location on the lake provided some beautiful sunsets. The host was great for communication. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful space, everything was clean and worked great. Hot tub and sauna are great amenities. Very private. Aaron was responsive and is a great host!

The home was so comfy with thoughtful details to make each area of the home just perfect. We loved all the special decor touches. We went to relax and got that for sure. Deer coming into the yard while we were using the outdoor hot tub was an unexpected delight.

Had a great stay! Left clear instructions. Communication was great and friendly. The location was spectacular. We went early spring, it wasn’t cold nor was it hot, but we had a great time! Jess was a great host and very respectful!

We stayed at the cabin for three nights while birding at Sax-Zim bog. It was really comfortable and plenty of space for the two of us and our dogs. We loved the bird feeders which attracted all kinds of winter birds, and the view from the patio is gorgeous! Only 20 minutes from the bog. Lots of space for the dogs to run around in the snow. Extra bathroom near the upstairs bed was very convenient. Kitchen was spacious and clean and the bed was really comfortable (and I’m picky about that!) Will definitely stay here again when visiting the bog! Recommend to anyone!

The lodge was a great place for our family Christmas. There is lots of room. We spent time at the bar playing Bingo. The kitchen has everything you need. Don’t bother to tote crockpots! If you are there in the colder season bring slipper. We will go back.

Beautiful, cozy cabin on lake. Enjoyed watching the eagle pair throughout the weekend. Even though the weather was not conducive to outdoor activities (cold, rainy and really windy) we were warm and comfy in the cabin and had a great time.

This is the best cabin I’ve ever stayed at Erik is so nice and helpful everything we expected at more needs better pictures to do it justice

Love this place 🥰

Stayed here for a weekend ski trip to Giant’s Ridge ski resort with a couple buddies of mine. The cabin was accurate to the description and is tidy. A few ants roaming around upon arrival as expected with a cabin in the superior national forest. Otherwise clean place. Nice and warm, well heated. Has a wood burning stove more for ambiance. The running water had the classic up north lake water smell, but that is also to be expected. Terra was responsive and helpful. Nothing to complain about if you’re looking for a boundary waters cabin experience. I would definitely come back for a summer trip to fish and kayak.

If willing to make the drive away from all signs of civilization, whether it be for golfing, skiing, camping, roadtripping or otherwise, Jody’s place will always come out on top. The Bear Den Lodge exceeded all expectations, and had so many fun touches throughout the place in addition to its reliable amenities. My party made use of most offerings such as the screened hut, sauna, grill, large backyard, game room, washer/dryer, and the fancy bath tub! There were hardly any issues, the place was pristinely prepared, welcoming to guests and bears (only fake ones), and secluded. The only problem that occurred was a fire alarm being set off by the grilling we did. Due to the location of the grill, it may be more susceptible to triggering the fire alarm. To combat this, we opened a few windows in the front of the house (away from the grill), and turned on all fans and air control units (which were excellently reliable). In short, tremendous place, and I would certainly revisit!

Cabin was great. Nice, clean, right on the water. The caretaker, Chad, did a great job checking us in and helping us as needed.

Wonderful place for a family getaway! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook some amazing meals. Toddlers, teens and adults were all entertained. Lovely accommodations, beautiful lake view
