Pine Cabin on the Pine River-Adult only

Cabin #1 - Fully renovated bathroom in 2021, this awesome little cabin just steps away from the relaxing waterfront. Perfect for kayaks and canoes. Large deck with propane grill. The river flows into Norway Lake. There is a swimming area in the river that has a nice sandy bottom and at most is around 4ft deep. It is an excellent area to lounge on a floaty or play water games. In the photos is resident dog, Nora. I also have a second cabin for rent that sleeps up to 2 adults if you happen to have a larger group.

Quiet setting only minutes from the city of Pine River and amenities. Nearby attractions include: 1 mile from the Paul Bunyan Trail for biking in summer and snowmobiling in winter, 2 miles from Bluegrass Festival, 2 miles from Junkathon, 14 miles from Spider Lake ATV trails, 25 miles from Northern Lights Casino and Leech Lake. Numerous lakes nearby as well.
If you are bringing your pet, please make sure you choose this when booking! *ONLY DOG AND PEOPLE FRIENDLY DOGS ALLOWED*

Best fishing adventure ever! I caught 25 big bass and a few northerns in 3 days. So fun! Thanks to Eric for helping me find the place, getting me out in the kayak, and being an encouraging host. I hope to be back!

We love staying at Pine Cabin on the Pine River. Eric and his bride-to-be, Becky, are amazing! There are so many great kayaking opportunities around this fantastic location! The cabin was clean and comfortable, and a nice place to relax & unwind. It's just what we needed!! Thank you, Eric & Becky! May God bless you with good health, and many years of wedded happiness!!

Pine River getaway.

This was a great property for me and my dog. A lot of solitude and excellent hosts. The river was awesome for cooling off and I was able to take my dog for his first water adventure, we walked in the water along the shoreline and gradually walked him into deeper water for his first doggy paddle! The cabin was bigger then expected, with a nice sitting area, small kitchen area with a dinette table and chairs, and 2 full size beds. The window air conditioner kept the cabin cool and comfortable. Eric and Becky were wonderful hosts, very responsive and available. They recommended The Red Pine Cookhouse in Emily for a night out, and it did not disappoint. I would stay here again, hopefully in August or September for the harvesting of wild rice.
