Quaint Respite

So darn cute, we absolutely loved the porch of this place! Randy is such a congenial host, aiming to make all feel welcome. Comfortable space with just the right amenities in the tiny cabin. We'd love to come back again with friends, go fishing & have Randy do one of his fish fries!

Hi from Black Cat and Maria

Shannon and Randy are great hosts and really fun people. The Crappie Cabin was very cozy and just delightful. We enjoyed our evenings spent in the very unique outdoor lounge and the incredible mail boat. Randy is a story teller extraordinaire! The other guests and the numerous neighborhood friends of Shannon and Randy who joined us for evening laughs were delightful.

Federal Dam cabin

Randy was awesome host. Water and coffee as well as flavored creamer. The cabin was well stocked with plastic utensils and paper plates as well as coffee cups and other dishes. Nice refrigerator and freezer, toaster and microwave. Everything you would need. Wish we were there longer to enjoy some fishing.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay in Federal dam

Shannon and Randy were great hosts, they clearly wanted us to have a good time (and we had a great time). The Crappie Cabin was clean, warm and very cute. Randy is a fishing guide, and although he had other clients booked for this weekend, he encouraged us to fish along side with him, free of change. Randy put us on the fish, and the fishing was really good. We will be booking another stay with them next year because we had such a good time!

Wow! Where do I start, such a lovely experience inside and out! The hosts were beyond my wildest expectations and extraordinary, lifelong friendships were made. The fishing is top tier if you’re searching for such, but I would stay for the conversations and campfires. We WILL be back again, the locals are amazing and it’s such a lovely atmosphere. I only wish I could thank our hosts more!

Rustic and quaint cabin…we really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the area!

We went atving in the area exploring the forests around Federal Dam. You can jump on a trail that’s nearby or trailer to a trailhead. Either way works. The cabin gave us a relaxing place to come back to every day after riding! We also enjoyed the visits with our hosts. They are great people!

Terrific hosts

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy little cottage. It had everything we could possibly need. It was very comfortable. Randy and Shannon were the perfect hosts. Upon our arrival, they helped us with our luggage. Randy even went so far as to have another person available to help my husband into the fishing boat. The fishing boat was clean and Randy did his best to find the good fishing spots. He knows where the fish are. We will definitely return.

Overall

The listing had "waterfront" in the listing which is what I really wanted - to go out of the door and enjoy a waterfront and not have to drive to get to the waterfront. I should have reviewed more closely. The hard water made things smell which is normal but taking a shower was uncomfortable with the condition of the water. The shower curtain needs to be washed. I brought all of my own food, plates and utensils and am glad I did.

Anniversary getaway

Quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of home/work. Randy and Shannon were available to answer any questions that popped up and brought us out for excellent fishing and a fish fry after. For a no fuss unplugged retreat Last Cast Adventure is a must!

Remote Getaway on the lake

We had a delightful time on our trip to Leech Lake! Randy and Shannon were both very hospitable and knowledgeable of the area. Our cabin had everything we needed and was cutely decorated with an overall fishing theme. The Last Cast boat lounge in the yard was an amazing bonus! The location is surrounded by pristine national forest and beautiful lakes and wetlands. Lots of great memories were had.
