Late spring 2025

Property is real nice. Has all the amenities listed including coffee. Bring water. The well water is real hard and odorous, but cleaning and showering is fine. The towns around are pretty cool and have a lot to offer - Mercel, Deer River, Big Fork. DR and BF have golf courses. DR and BF have large grocery stores. Mercel has a convenience store with food, gas, liquor, fresh bait, and a deli. Friendly people there. He keeps the cabin well stocked with firewood. Be careful with kids going up and down to the lake. It's like a 60 degree drop from the cabin to the dock. There is a wooden walkway built that zigzags from cabin to lake. And a narrow road that runs along the side of the hill. This one is a bit longer, but much safer than the walkway. You can definitely get in shape walking either of these paths a couple times a day. We gave up trying to bring the boat to the dock via the road mentioned above. Just too narrow. Works better to launch your boat at the public access. Didn't have much luck fishing. There's rock bass off the dock that are active. And out on the lake we caught a few bass. Very deep lake. Check it out on DNR before going. Thanks

Great view and great location

The cabin was not cleaned before we arrived. FILTHY. A member of our group did a thorough cleaning when we arrived. Dirty toilet, sink, shower,and kitchen. Owner informed us days prior that we will need to being our garbage home. For the amount of money we paid per night plus cleaning fee we were disappointed. Also the stairs to the lake are sketchy and risky. No hand rails, very high off the ground multiple flights. We found out later that there's a walking path. Tough for elderly or young families to access the lake. The view from the cabin was gorgeous. The area was peacefull.

Lovely getaway

The view from the cabin is fantastic. It has everything you need (except AC) and is comfortable and spacious. The lake is lovely and relatively quiet. Highly recommended.

Fishing cabin

This is a decent place for a few guys for a week of fishing. I think most women would probably be disappointed with the facilities. It is a tough walk to and from the water and cabin, so it would be very difficult for someone elderly or just out of shape. We had a blast catching small mouth and rock bass and the place was great for a guys week.

Beautiful Turtle Lake Cabin Stay

Turtle Lake is beautiful. Most cabins on the lake are set back from the water and boat traffic was light. The paddle board and kayak were great to have access to and the dock is a beautiful, spacious place to hang out. Our cabin was very peaceful and we had everything we needed.
