Cabin vacation rentals in Lake Melissa

We just completed our second stay at Jennifer’s lovely lakeside retreat. As we were packing up I was wishing we had booked for two weeks instead of one. The place is immaculate, well-stocked, tastefully decorated and so so peaceful. Jennifer communicated extremely well and it’s clear that she puts immense thought into the experience of her guests. Absolutely love this place!

My large family did a winter weekend getaway and stayed at this beautiful cabin. The cabin was big enough to accommodate everyone. Brigitte was responsive, flexible, and helpful. The cabin looks just like the pictures; clean and inviting. They provided all the amenities listed. There are many nice lakes around this cabin. Other than the train track nearby, the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. At night, so many stars shined brightly. We would definitely book this cabin again. Thank you for your hospitality.

The cablet was exactly as described. It was clean and well maintained. The scenery and view were amazing. Sarah was super and told me I could stay til noon. I will definitely be back!

The cabin had lots of thoughtful details and more than everything we needed. There were a good range of bed options for us to choose our preferred mattress firmnesses. We appreciated the homey feel, all the nice light, and the lovely outdoor spaces to hang out. The lake seemed particularly clean and good for swimming. It was a truly relaxing place for a little fall retreat, and the hosts were flexible and generous. I hope we can stay again some day!

Andrew and Louis were amazing hosts and this place is definitely somewhere you want to stay! We felt right at home and enjoyed being able to unplug for a weekend while still having close access to Itasca, a nearby general store, and Park Rapids if we needed it! The scenery is stunning in wintertime - I can only imagine what it looks like during the summer! Definitely will stay here again!!

Very private and peaceful stay. Beautiful cabin, nicely furnished, with a great view of the lake, facing southwest. We captured a beautiful sunset Laura responds quickly and is very friendly and accommodating. Very nice and safe neighborhood, especially the path out to the peninsula.

Thanks so much! This was a great quiet retreat!

We took a long weekend for family and Karin was so responsive up to our checking in, she was an absolute delight to work with! The home was clean, neat, tidy, and just what we needed for the entire weekend getaway There was nothing we needed with a party of 6-She has literally thought of everything you could need for a delightful stay!! Karin was extremely flexible and communicated right away! We can’t wait to come back!!! 5/5… would highly recommend!!

Such a sweet home on the lake. Perfect getaway for our family. We hope to be back in the summer months! Highly recommend for a scenic quiet spot to stay and enjoy the outdoors.

If you are looking for a place that is beautiful and has lots of room to spread out, this one is for you. Our large family gathered here for a fun filled family vacation. We loved loved loved the hot tub! It ended up being a cooler weekend so it was perfect. We rented a jet ski from a place in Detroit Lakes to add to the fun. All of the outdoor levels were wonderful! Also, there was a very comfortable bed in the master bedroom! I highly recommend it!

This cabin was an outstanding group get away for my birthday! In our 4 day stay we never ran out of things to do as the amenities were great! The furnishings were clean and comfortable. Any questions we had our Host was quick to respond and extremely helpful. We are already planning our return!

Scott’s place was clean, well appointed, homey, and peaceful with amazing views of the lake. We had everything we needed during our stay, everything was clean and fresh; the beds were comfy, and the linens were clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for all the cooking we did, and the filtered drinking water on tap was a bonus. Checking in and out was easy, and the rules & directions were straightforward and easy to follow. Scott was a great communicator, and all around this was a fantastic stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing and quiet getaway.

Great experience and location for a getaway! Hosts were very accommodating with an earlier check in and later check out time. Very proactive with snow removal (it snowed overnight and driveway was plowed and area around our cars was shoveled before we even woke up.) Gorgeous cabin with great amenities. Massage chair was such a hit with our group, as was the hot tub and provided hammocks. Highly recommend!

This was my first experience doing a mini vacation for myself and I picked the absolute perfect location. It wasn’t around a ton of other cabins and only 14ish minutes from town if I needed anything. I will absolutely tell everyone in my life about this and encourage them to choose this cabin. Definitely will be doing this again.

Cabin on Cove was amazing! The surroundings were beautiful the cabin was excellent and was exactly as described. The house had everything you would need and more. The cabin setup was perfect for our family of 5 and everything inside the cabin was so nice. We all especially loved the shower, the rainfall shower head was such a nice touch! Tina helped us locate a place to rent a boat before we even completed the booking. We were able to get a fishing boat in October and had so much fun fishing. The kids caught so many different types of fish - Perch, sun fish, walleye, bass and crappies. And it was so close to Itasca State Park. We spent a wonderful day there exploring. Icing on the cake was the Keurig machine with hot chocolate, the kids went insane! And all the games. I think we played about 100 games of Sorry! Thanks Tina and Crew!

This was our second stay at Michael's place. Just as before, we found it very accommodating, clean, and in a great location. Very quiet and peaceful with lots of beautiful trees around. It has been challenging to find quality accommodations when we visit Wadena so we have really appreciated this cozy cabin!

My family and I truly enjoyed our trip to Scott's property. The house fit our big crew quite well. The beds were very comfortable. The kids loved the fun spaces in the house. The location was beautiful and peaceful. While there is a lot of vegetation along the lakeshore, there is a decent beach, and some shallow water that the smallest kids were able to enjoy. For the bigger kids, we brought the lily pad out to the middle of the lake, and they had a blast with that. The outdoor living space was great! Scott was friendly, helpful, responsive.

We had an amazing getaway. This location was perfect for the two of us and our dogs! We can’t wait to book in the summer and fall to see the foliage on the property. After day trips to 2 state parks with our dogs, our favorite amenity was coming home and building a cozy fire in the wood stove. 10 out of 10 experience!

My husband and I spent a Wednesday thru Sunday long weekend at the cabin, and we would easily do it again! So many thoughtful touches and features by the owners make this a very enjoyable place to stay. I don't know how the AirBnB folks do it, because everyone's "triggers" are different for what makes it special and for us, it was a winner. The major things were an overall vibe that casual and comfortable and a host that communicated very well and addressed any needs. A small sampling of other things that created joy were a welcome basket of s'more fixings, tasteful decorations, an incredibly warm throw to cuddle on the couch with, dog dishes and TREATS (!) for our dogs, well stocked kitchen and bathroom, great chairs for sitting on deck, a wonderful beach/dock area for kids/dogs, ability to BBQ and have a great outdoor meal. Also, would highly recommend the Troll search. Very unique and fun! Visiting Walker MN and Itasca State Park with the fall colors was wonderful as well!

a rare find...cabin so close to the water, the dock and beach/firepit area! saved us a ton of walking with very minimal amount of steps. beautiful view of lake from almost every window. right off the road but amazingly very private! my daughter and i enjoyed every minute of our stay. nice dock, nice decks, nice cabin!!!

The Sunfish Cabin was a lovely little getaway for a weekend! It has a lovely view of the lake and a great spot to watch the sunsets. My friend and I really enjoyed kayaking and paddle boating. It was super nice the resort had those options available to use for free!
