Charming Log Cabin on Beautiful Lake Butterfield

Quaint log cabin nestled in the woods on 800 feet of private lakeshore on beautiful Lake Butterfield. This peaceful retreat offers a serene setting inviting you to slow down, rest and relax while reconnecting with nature and yourself. Sit on the large front porch with your morning coffee and enjoy a stunning view of the lake and an abundance of wildlife and a symphony of birds.

This cabin has all the amenities one needs for the perfect getaway. Take the canoe, kayak or paddleboard on the lake or go for a swim. Read a book in the hammock, play a game of bocce ball in the yard or roast marshmallows at the outdoor firepit. Bring your bikes and take advantage of the Cuyuna bike trails in nearby Crosby or the Paul Bunyan Trail. For the golf enthusiast, courses are close by including Emily Greens, Crosswoods and Golden Eagle Golf Club. And don’t forget putt-putt in Crosslake!

Snuggle up on cooler days next to the wood burning fireplace and play games or take a nap. Visit popular Crosslake minutes away to enjoy restaurants and shopping.

Peace and tranquility awaits!


Please note there is a game camera on the driveway into the property.

Fantastic location

I’ve been doing a buddies trip for several years now, and we all agreed that this was the best cabin yet. Great amenities, proximity to town, and lots to do in the area. We will definitely look at staying here again next year.

This is a beautiful cabin in a tranquil, seclusive piece of private property close to where we needed to be. It was perfect. I wish I could have brought our kids they would have had a blast with all there was to do. Thank you so much for sharing this unique cabin in the woods on a lake.

Fun

The property was beautiful. Had a great time fising off the dock and in the rowboat. The stack of firewood was high and we managed to use it all. Chilly nights! Absolutely loved it. So very relaxing just watching the hummingbirds. Truly a great vacation!!

Great Getaway

Our family had a fantastic vacation at this lovely log cabin by the lake! We used the canoe a lot and did some fishing. Our stay had several rounds of rain but we stayed in the cozy cabin and played games. The location is close to a couple small towns that have everything you need. The front porch was nice to relax on and enjoy all of God's creations.

Peaceful and beautiful

Loved our week stay here! It's exactly as described, secluded in a little bay on the lake surrounded by woods and nature. We were greeted with a sign on the table welcoming us and a treat in the freezer that really made us feel special. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed, they thought of everything. We spent the week fishing, playing games, and even got out on the paddle boards and kayaks a couple of times. The lake is great, we heard loons every night and saw families of geese and swans every day. We had an amazing week here and would stay again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful quiet stay

Fantastic property with plenty of sleeping space for families and a lovely deck view of the very low traffic lake. I think we heard one motorized boat during our 4 day stay. Lovely little row boat for a quick relaxing jaunt across the water lilies to the open lake. Very secluded and quiet property. Owners we very quick to respond to all queries and everything we needed was there for us to use! Would highly recommend and will be looking for additional opportunities to come back!

Clean, Convenient, and Quiet Retreat

This is a great place, inside and out! The deck is perfect for enjoying the view, the breeze, and the birds (heard so many loons); the yard is perfect for lounging or playing games. We aren’t water people, but they have a number of options if you are. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the beds were comfy, and I think this is the cleanest property we have ever rented. It’s just a quick drive into Crosslake area and 30min from Crosby/Cuyuna trails. Definitely recommend!

Quiet solitude

Beautiful remote cabin. Not far from quick stop stores, groceries and small towns of Emily and Crosby, which is what we were looking for. Butterfield lake is quiet and serene. Lots of bird watching from the porch….and so many turkeys! We’re from PA and are used to turkeys but not to this degree. They were everywhere!! We came for mt bike riding and Crosby has the best trails. We thoroughly enjoyed. Had several days of rain but did manage to kayak on the lake.

Brother's Fishing Trip

We chose this cabin for it's look and it's private location. It did not disappoint. From the moment you turn off the road until you reach the cabin, you can feel the working world slip away. This trip was for my 2 brothers and I. We had not been fishing together in decades. We spent most of the time fishing, and conversing on the large covered deck. The fishing was fantastic and the cabin had everything we needed to prepare meals and relax. The beds were very comfortable too. The owners take good care of the property and the little touches they add make you feel special. Thank you for a perfect get-a-way!

Relaxing stay at a gorgeous lake home

We were definitely throwing caution to the wind traveling all the way from Massachusetts to stay in a small town in MN. VRBO listings aren’t always as true as they appear but in this case it was even better in person! This home is a gem in a very secluded cove. The home itself is so beautiful and well cared for. We enjoyed sitting at the fire pit at night under the stars. We used the little boat to explore the lake but really loved the kayaks which we took out multiple times a day for fishing. The fishing was amazing!! My husband and I enjoy bass fishing and the large mouth bass we caught and released were enormous!! We pulled out 4lb bass multiple times. Everything was perfect- don’t hesitate to book this beautiful home.

Beautiful lakefront cabin

We had such a great time at this property. The cabin has the rustic charm we love and the owners made us feel comfortable and welcome. The kayaks and canoes were a great way to enjoy this beautiful, crystal clear lake. We caught enough bluegills off the dock to have a fish fry. Plenty of firewood was provided for camp fires and indoor fires in the fireplace. My two boys loved the loft bedroom and the kitchen had been stocked with brand new pans, utensils, dishes, etc. The beds were very firm, which isn’t our preference, but everything seemed high quality and new including the bedding and pillows. The nearby city of Crosslake was charming and had an amazing mini golf course. Our family of four loved this place for a long-weekend getaway. Thank you for sharing your place with us! A few things to note that may be helpful for families with small children or elderly guests: the stairs to the loft and down to the basement are very steep and somewhat difficult to. I don’t know that baby gates would be possible, either, because of the railings and log walls. For elderly people or anyone with bad knees or legs, the outdoor deck requires climbing quite a few stairs. The wood on the dock was a bit soft which made us be sure to take extra care when walking on it, but if you are used to waterfront cabins and docks this isn’t anything out of the ordinary.
