Cabin vacation rentals in Rainy Lake

Absolutely beautiful spot - we would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway right by the water. We even had the opportunity to take one of the canoes down the lake this morning before heading out. It has everything you could need in a cozy cabin. Perfection!!

Caribou Cove felt at home the minute we stepped in. Very clean, free of clutter and oh, so homey! Everything is so well thought out and easy. Lisa took good care of us even though she was on her own vacation. We had to use WIFI for zoom meetings (great WIFI!) but once those were done, the laptops closed and we went exploring. There is so much to do! We were honored to visit with THE Betsy Bowen at her art gallery in Grand Marais. Sivertson's Gallery never disappoints, either. There is a pair of trumpeter swans on the lake who were inspiring to watch. I plan to return here with my family next year. I highly recommend Caribou Cove but don't tell everyone - I want to get my next vacation time booked, soon! Enjoy!

It was clean and just like the pictures shown. The view was also beautiful and Joellen was very quick with her responses!

I LOVED my stay at Loon Lake Lodge. Andrea and Derek are super friendly and helpful, and the entire area is so beautiful and quiet. The pizza and ice cream sandwiches are a fun treat. I started every day with about an hour back and forth between the sauna and the lake, both absolutely perfect. There is a pretty good chance I'll be back next September!

Our family REALLY enjoyed ourselves in Kami & Matthew's cabin! We had set our sights on a location that was a bit more remote, cozy but spacious enough for our family of 4, while tucked away in a winter wonderland and beautiful surroundings. We got all of these things in one (except for the snow part which was unfortunate, but hard to control)! The layout of the cabin was perfect and the location was really great, and we all loved just enjoying the place in a relaxed tempo. We would highly recommend this wonderful spot and would definitely not mind coming back when there's more snow :-)

This was our third time staying at the MN Kind Lodge. The area is beautiful and there’s plenty of outdoor winter activities. When you are done exploring, the cabin is the perfect cozy spot to relax and warm up. We love the cabin because it can fit our large group comfortably and everyone has their own bed!

Beautiful location on the lake. Many outdoor activities nearby. The property was clean and well maintained with all the amenities needed for a pleasurable and comfortable stay. Good WiFi connection with a nice tv. We throughly enjoyed or stay and I want to thank Kelly for making check-in very easy.

The Great Outdoors was amazing. Anything we needed was available: Games, movies, full kitchen comfy beds. The cabin was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The welcome book was concise and explained everything from the lights to the showers. The welcome gift was sweet and appreciated. I highly recommend this beautiful cabin. We were there in the winter and I would love to go back in the summer.

This cabin was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled in a peaceful, and scenic location. The interior was spotless and beautifully decorated, with cozy touches that made it feel like home. We especially loved the fireplace and the stunning views from the deck—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the entire place was thoughtfully equipped for a relaxing stay. We also appreciated how responsive and friendly the hosts were—they clearly care about making guests feel welcome. If you're looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, or just escape the hustle and bustle, this cabin is the place to do it. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time swimming, fishing off the dock (caught a nice sized large mouth bass & panfish) and boating. We enjoyed the paddle board, kayak and screened in porch. We used the fire pit one night before the mosquitoes came out. We didn’t use the hot tub. We rented a pontoon from Brett at Island View Resort. He also sold bait, gas and a map of the lake with tips for fishing the lake. We caught crappies, bass, panfish and northern. The bunkhouse was prefect for our two boys. Our daughter enjoyed the loft room. It was nice that there were 2 fans. The kitchen was well equipped and we liked having a large electric skillet. Didn’t use the washing machine except for washing the towels before we checked out. The beds were comfortable. We also liked the large dining room table -used it to play games in the evening. We’d definitely recommend getting peanut butter twists from Pattens restaurant in Orr. It was a very relaxing vacation. We’d definitely rent it again.

The Citadel is a beautiful place and the cabin was really cozy. Grahame was super friendly, responsive, and accommodating. We really enjoyed canoeing on the lake and having bonfires in the evening. The sauna is a really nice amenity. The website for booking watercraft, the sauna, and firewood was really easy to use and a nice touch.

she's a great host and it's a great little get away ... can't wait to try it this summer

This Airbnb was a perfect place for a larger group due to the spacious and well planned space. Everything was high quality and felt built to last, which seems rarer and rarer nowadays. We used the pool/hot tub and pickleball facilities. Pool+hot tub were a nice size and there was plenty of seating. We enjoyed the pickleball but the paddles did seem aged. It would be nice for the resort group to implement self check in for the ease of the guests but Crystal at the front desk was a friendly face.

The property is as in the photos, very spacious in the inside. Right on the water, only a minute or two from downtown Ely, but worlds away from the City. Nice setting, plenty of room for all in your group. Multiple levels, built to enjoy being on the lake, so many nice touches, and the kitchen is well stocked, with plenty of glasses/plates and everything required to feel at home. Plenty of towels! Hot tub is in a private setting! Second floor is reached by open stairway, includes an open area overlooking first floor, that includes conversation area with futon, and large bedroom with great view of sunrise and attached bathroom with shower and large jetted tub. We were just two, and felt comfortably together, larger groups will not feel crowded, and two cars can park in the garage, and they provide two remote garage door openers, so you do not have to get out of your car to open or close the garage door. Truly is like having your own place in the woods, if you were a millionaire!

Mariah was an excellent host and the cabin was exactly what we were expecting. Will definitely stay again if in the area. 5 stars for host and cabin.

We had a great time in Ely! This cabin was the perfect fall weekend getaway. Can’t wait to come back :)

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this lakeside cabin. The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The lake was peaceful and serene, great for boating on the included pontoon boat or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the lake. Our kids loved exploring the shoreline and fishing off the dock. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a tranquil family vacation.

Beautiful property right on the lake run by a lovely, friendly couple and their pup, Jack, who kept my dog company! The cabin is exactly as it looks in the photos, and is a perfect escape if you just need some time away. Cliff was onsite for most of the time I was there and was so friendly, asked me if I needed anything when he left for town and brought out a canoe for me to explore the inlet. This is a small community where loyal visitors have been coming for years, so it felt safe and friendly. The cabin was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed—and an awesome deal for the location and company—but like others have said, it’s not a fancy resort :) it’s a family-owned old log cabin. Enjoy it!

Second time staying. Wish we had more time to stay. Great as always, would love to stay there again!

We were very pleased with our stay. The cabin is adorable with plenty of space around it. After reading a few reviews about the train tracks being so close I was a little concerned about safety and noise. Once we arrived I noticed that safety was not an issue as a river (stream) is located between the property and the tracks. The train runs through frequently but it didn't have a negative impact on our stay and we live in the country with no trains. Randy was very pleasant to work with and I can't say enough good things about our stay. it was a perfect fit!

My husband and I loved our stay! The cabin was so cozy and cute, and was remote enough for us to have some privacy, but also close enough to order food from restaurants or go to the general store if needed. Perfect weekend getaway!

Our family enjoyed a relaxing getaway and spent time snowshoeing around the property on the trails. Peaceful and quiet space.
