About this property

Peaceful Lakefront Cabin in Deerwood - Bike to Cuyuna Mountain Bike Trails

Quiet Rustic Lakeside Elegance. Perfect setting for a relaxing vacation during any season. Spacious log-sided cabin on 2.5 acres. 4 bedroom, 2.5 baths. Recently completed paved biking trails allow you to ride your bike from the Deerwood Cabin to the spectacular Cuyuna Lakes Bike Trails that twist their way through the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, and the towns of Deerwood, Crosby, Ironton, Cuyuna, and Riverton. Over 30 purpose-built trails to choose from, everyone from beginner to pro, can enjoy the breath-taking rides and overlooks.

The cabin is 200 feet from the shore of quiet Black Lake; large enough to water ski or tube [there is a public access - bring your boat] . . . but small enough to explore with a canoe, paddleboat, Stand Up Paddleboards, or kayaks [all provided]. You will often find yourself the only boat on the lake. Less than 1/4 mile from a public access to Serpent Lake, known for its abundant walleye population. Included in the rental is the use of a PK4400 Paddle King paddleboat [4 adults, 820 lb capacity], 2 canoes, small fishing boat [oars only], 2 kayaks, and 2 Stand-Up Paddleboards [one coverts to a kayak]. Life jackets, slalom skis, and floaties are provided. A pontoon boat is available for rent - if interested, please let me know . . . it will be delivered to the dock. Private 7' x 10' swimming raft and 6' x 18' Aqua Lily Pad [a buoyant on-water floating island]. Large yard for games, and an inviting fire pit [firewood provided] for s'mores and hotdogs. Large wrap-around deck to enjoy sunrises and the call of the loons. Private deck off the master bedroom. Lakeside deck 15' from waters' edge. 3 docks, two with an 8' x 16' end section and one 8' x 32' dock/deck with benches adjacent to shore [over water]. All docks have stairs. Attached 2.5 car garage to store your bikes, sleds, and toys. Lots of parking. Central air conditioning and heat. Walkout basement with ground level deck. Regularly sprayed for mosquitoes all summer long.

About a 25 minute drive from the "big town" of Brainerd and 2.5 hours north of the Twin Cities.

Bedroom #1 Main level with King bed, full bath, Jacuzzi tub, and private deck [lake view].
Bedroom #2 Lower level with log Queen bed.
Bedroom #3 Lower level with log double bed and a log single bed [lake view].
Bedroom #4 Lower level with log Queen bed and 2 single beds [lake view].

This is a perfect family and friends get away [not baby-proof . . . open stairway].

Wonderful Winter Getaway
My family and I stayed here for a long weekend in January and it was the best winter getaway! Spacious rooms for all 4 families (8 adults and one infant). Wonderful gathering spaces to play games and watch movies all together. Also the perfect 4-season porch for anyone from the group to sneak away for a nap or quiet reading. We also really enjoyed the games in the garage such as jenga and bags. Being just minutes from Crosby is awesome as well for an afternoon out. We hope to be back again sometime soon!

Magical Christmas Vacation
We stayed at the cabin between Christmas and New Years Day. There were seven of us and the cabin was more than spacious enough for us to spread out. The cabin is extremely clean and well stocked, and the property manager was excellent as well. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.

Amazing place, amazing PM, still waiting for feedback.
We just got back from an amazing weekend at this home, 11 ladies! Pros: * Property Manager was so great to work with, responsive * This home has everything you could possibly need for a stay, everything * Extremely clean and well taken care of * We loved that is was off the beaten path, but very short ride to all of our area favorites Opportunities - really just one * the furnace was broken, luckily it wasn’t an extremely cold weekend, and grateful for two great fireplaces. Fist morning we woke to 51 degrees, and communicated the issue. After coming out to check on the furnace around lunchtime, it was shared there wouldn’t be a possible remedy, and they would work on making it right, please use fireplaces. We were able to keep it warm with both fireplaces, however with 120 min timers, that meant taking turns turning them back on throughout the night. Not a huge deal, still an amazing time. However when I reached out while checking around 8-9am, it was shared that the owner would have to contact us. As of 5pm, we are still unable to split the bill, waiting to hear if/what a refund or consideration looks like. A bit frustrating. We understand things happen, and things break, and are super happy to solve with fireplaces. But if you’re sharing that it would be made right, please be sure to d follow up. Thank you for an amazing weekend, your home was perfect!

Best getaway for group
Relaxing beautiful property and space. 6 of us enjoyed the kitchen space, living rooms, etc. There was something for everyone whether we wanted to chill alone with a book in a quiet space, go kayak, go paddle boat, have a fire, walk, run, go into town, watch TV, hang and play games or eat together. This was our second stay and very satisfied with it.

Weekend getaway
Beautiful lake home with plenty of water activities and games (corn hole/lawn Jenga/ping pong). Close to ATV trails (must trailer wheelers). Home was immaculate with every amenity available. Would definitely come back! Great communication with host and representative. Easy check in/check out process.

About the host

Host profile image
After retiring from the US Army, we built this cabin, living here for 13 years. In 2014, we had the opportunity to teach on the island of Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. We still live on Kwajalein. Not living in our cabin, and not willing to put it up for sale, we decided to let others enjoy all that it has to offer.

We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoyed living here!

Why they chose this property

After having traveled the world during 20+ years of active duty in the Army, we chose to build our cabin in a small town in a location that offered four distinct seasons, each with their own unique beauties. It's nice being away from life in the big city.

What makes this property unique

It's a great area to "get away from it all." The local bike trails are truly world class, and are only getting better. The recreational opportunities offered by the local lakes are unlimited. Local hunting and fishing are top notch. The fall colors rival that of any place on earth. You can have all that, plus the quiet beauty of a campfire on [almost private] Black Lake. Here, you'll really find what being "Up North at the Lake" is all about. Come and enjoy it!
