About this property

Rustic log cabin built in the 1900's! On Private Lake with Great Fishing.

Little Whitefish Resort has 8 total cabins all on the lake and is a perfect "Up North" escape. Each cozy cabin has its own unique decor and layout so you can find the right one that fits your vacation needs (This is cabin 1 for booking reference). We also have a cafe/bar on-site for delicious meals and drinks, so you can enjoy more of your vacation to do what you want and spend less of it cooking. If you do prefer to cook, each cabin has a charcoal grill and fully equipped kitchen.

Since the 1950’s guests of all sorts have visited this small, rustic, lakefront resort for a fun family getaway, girls/guys weekend trip, relaxing vacation away from home, or for those master (or novice) fishermen looking for a great bite. Little Whitefish Lake is best known for its large Crappies, Sunnies, Northern, Bass and Walleye. This resort has the only public boat launch on the lake.

If fishing isn't your main focus, water sports are also welcomed! Jet ski, water tube/ski, and kayaking are perfect ways to use the lake as well. Cruising the lake is enjoyable as you come into contact with wildlife. Loons, birds, and if you're lucky, even deer and bears taking a drink on shore can be seen! Sunsets are phenominal and a great way to end a lake day. Come back to one of our firepits to roast some s'mores and wind down (firewood included).

An easy 90 min drive from Minneapolis/ St. Paul makes this location easily accessible and the best of both lake worlds. On one hand you have the 2nd largest Minnesotan lake (Mille Lacs) 1 mile drive down the road, and on the other you have a peaceful hidden gem right in your backyard! Staying on a small lake provides great boating conditions, or you can conveniently head down the road to the Big Pond (Mille Lacs) when the weather's permitting. We are also right on ATV/snowmobile trails, a short drive to Northwood Hills Golf Course, Kathio State Park, 10 minutes from Garrison, and a 5 minute drive to Grand Casino Mille Lacs.

A dock space is included with your stay (bring your own boat or rent one at our resort-advanced notice needed). We also have an onsite fish cleaning house for you to clean your fish and grill it up right at your cabin's own outdoor charcoal grill. Kayaks, 2 paddle boats, paddle board, and aluminum row boats are also included - first come first serve.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a shower.Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Relaxing Stay
Place is secluded from your high traffic areas. Owners are great with communication and accommodated when there were requests. It was good to understand the history of the property as this is shared within the cabin. Loons are in abundance on the lake.

Not as pictured
We got there and I was very DISAPPOINTED!! Not as pictured we had ground squirrels inside the bathroom had a couple of leaks and I thought it was private and was not, should say private/shared. They must have used the previous owners pics, No towels, not enough plates, cups, for 7 people which it states sleeps 7, bathroom wasn't good, but the boat ride was excellent and the owners were right there, still had a great time with family, do not go to cabin1 and if you think its private its not

Wonderful and relaxing place
We had a wonderful time here. It was so great waking up to the loons calling and being able to just walk down to the dock to fish. The cabin was clean and spacious enough for our family of six. Brian was great to work with, answered our questions and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The state park nearby was one of our favorite spots as well as the mini golf in Deerwood. We loved just relaxing outside or fishing off the dock - many fish to be caught!
