Cabin vacation rentals in Backus

It was a great place to kick back, relax, and have fun. Not a single bad time or experience here and when I had questions it was not left unanswered. Thank you Noah for allowing me and my guests to have a great place to hang out for my 21st!

1. Favorite: The beds were super comfy… u will get a great night sleep any of the 4 beds that are here… we all loved it. The beds were amazing.. High-lights: 2. Good time snowmobiling and ice fishing on the lake. 3. Relaxing in the hot tub at 10pm, 20° outside with many stars in the sky…

Garrett’s place was so cozy and cute! We loved relaxing there with our little family. The hot tub feels private without neighbors being able to see you. The beds are nice (primary bedroom bed is super plush, but you can take the mattress topper cover off if that doesn’t work for your back). We loved walking to the restaurant in the evenings and playing darts and enjoying their specials. You can see the lake from the cabin windows, and the sunset from the kitchen. There were a lot of hospitable details that we really appreciated.

We loved the weekend stay here! We spent most of our time in the garage that was converted to a game room. Foosball, pool, ping pong, and a large round table that was great for playing cards with the group. The igloo outside was great as a hang during the morning for coffee and a book before the rest of the group woke up. It was also great at night to be able to sit outside with the electric fireplace. Thanks for having us!

I had a wonderful stay at this cabin while celebrating my 21st birthday with family. The photos don’t fully capture how scenic and beautiful the place is. The kitchen and living room were spacious, filled with natural light, and perfect for gathering. The entire house, including the bedrooms and bathrooms, was clean and well-maintained. The highlight was definitely the backyard and deck. The sunset over the lake was stunning, making for great photos. We even saw a couple of deers as well. Despite visiting in late March with temperatures in the 40s, the hot tub was a game-changer—clean, warm, and incredibly relaxing. The downstairs and under-deck area also provided a great space to unwind. The only minor inconvenience was a slight sulfur smell in the water, which disappeared after flushing. Additionally, the foosball table could use some attention as I believe the orientation of the players are backwards. Overall, I highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway.

Wonderful place for our group! Plenty of room to spread out and large open spaces to be together!

This was the perfect location for a girl's weekend! Lots of amenities (hot tub, sauna, etc.) and close to several surrounding towns and shopping, food, etc.

It really was what we were looking for. Had plenty of things for the kids to do, and for us all to relax and not have to go a bunch of places to have fun. Very comfortable all the way around. Plenty of space for our family. There was a slight problem with the hot tub, but the host was on it before we even contacted him. It was fixed very quickly and we had no issues after that. Definitely would recommend staying here. I know if we get the chance to get back up to that area, we would stay there again.

2nd time at this cabin - its perfect for our girls weekend and we love the walking paths.

The cabin is cozy and very pretty. You can relax and have a good time. It has incredible views. I loved it!

Great place to stay for a quiet weekend. Colleen was a great host. Hopefully will book again in the future!

We had a great stay! Our original accommodations canceled the night before our trip up north, and she accepted our trip right away! She was very responsive, overall would stay again!!

We booked this home because of a wedding at a nearby venue. 7 of us enjoyed the living room with cozy blankets, the electric fireplace. The kitchen with was spacious fully stocked & great for the few meals we had there. A variety of spices & a plethora of pots/pans/cooking equipment was a bonus. the kitchen table had enough chairs and space for everyone- which we appreciated. Other places we have stayed at - didn’t have enough seating for us even though we under the max people allowed. Beds were clean and comfortable. Enough towels for all. I had a problem turning on the water - and the hosts responded very quickly to help resolve the issue. Very responsive & available to help. We would consider this home in the future for a longer stay- but it worked perfectly for our short stay & event.

Beautiful cabin in the woods that was just the right size for our family of 4 and dog. The cabin was beautifully furnished with details and amenities that helped us both have fun and be very comfortable. We enjoyed the woods outside, lots of good bird watching and a fire pit. We were cozy in the cabin using the wood stove, playing board games, listening to music on the record player and watching movies in the basement! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and bake meals.

Second time staying here and it's very comfortable and clean. They have made updates to the home since we were there last. The furniture is comfortable, home is clean, things are labeled and easy to find. The view of the lake is so beautiful! We haven't been there in the summer, but we hope to! We appreciated the little touches of hospitality, for example a handwritten card to welcome us back, "take what you need" toiletries in the bathroom, and treats for us on the counter. We had a hiccup with the door code and messaged Sharon and she replied immediately and got us in. (It was a user error, I'm sure!) Definitely would recommend Camp Hammond! Thank you, Sharon!

Perfect two bedroom cabin on the lake! My husband slept 15 hours, the bed was THAT comfortable and after an 11 hr drive, he needed the rest. The host thought about every need guests would have and even when the area power went out briefly, she was proactive and kept us up to date. (It was an issue in the community not just the cabin.) The kitchen had everything we needed and the coffee bar was so cute! We wanna come back in the summer and take advantage of the kayaks on the lake and go swimming! We loved it was pet friendly for our two small dogs and they felt right at home. WiFi worked great and so did the tv. Next time I’m bringing binoculars. I was told there are swans on the lake. We heard honking but couldn’t get a close look. The lake view was beautiful and the water froze over in the 2 degree weather. Our family cannot wait to come back. You will get your steps in going up the hill to parking spot. 10/10 in our book! Will book again! ~Indiana family

Loved everything. We didn’t get much time there and wish we had more. We were only in for a short weekend. We stayed in the hideaway. I liked that it was away from people at the bonfire. Felt private. However it would be nice to stay in a cabin closer to the lake for the view. Very clean! Beth is quick to respond to questions. The location was perfect for us. It is near Crosby, but with our own little oasis. Definitely would come back!

We enjoyed our weekend here on an annual couples ice fishing trip! Terry and Connie are excellent hosts, and their place offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. Even at the coldest time of year, we felt right at home in the Cozy Cabin.

Very nice place. We liked the two levels so the younger generation could hang out and enjoy their own space!

This was my second stay here. Check-in was a breeze, the cabin was well stocked and clean. Pretty much everything you would need was supplied as far as cooking and eating needs were concerned. We had a very comfortable stay. The host communicated very well and promptly. 5 stars all away around

Matt did a great job describing the driveway and including a picture so that we didn’t drive past it. The location is very remote and so peaceful! We had everything we needed to cook yummy meals and were aware ahead of time that there was no dishwasher, which was just fine for two people. The water does have a metallic taste to it, even after being run through a Britta filter, so I would encourage bringing bottled water for coffee/drinking. The stars at night were incredible and watching the sunrise on the dock in the morning was a highlight for me. Would love to come back in the summer and use the canoe! We did some local hiking and loved the Thai food at a local restaurant nearby. WiFi and projector worked great! Highly recommend a couple getaway here to unwind and reconnect.

We enjoyed a great weekend with a group of 6 friends. Jana’s place was roomy with different areas to gather. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. The cabin is close to Walker, Leech Lake and Itasca State Park. We had a great time and highly recommend staying with Jana!

Mike was amazing. we were planning on staying at another location that fell through last minute and his response was very prompt, he was very kind and attentive. The location was beautiful and the cabebeezo was perfect. I only wish we would have had more time to enjoy it. Will definitely be first on our list when we head back thay direction.

Such a phenomenal space, inside and out. My pup and I could stare out the giant windows looking for deer, owls, eagles, swans, squirrels and more among the birch and aspen for hours - and often did. What a beautiful, thoughtful, aspirational build. I will savor my stay here long into the future. And to top it all off, the host was super attentive and responsive!
