About this property

Book l Lake Cabin w/ Private Beach l Detroit Lakes l Snowmobile Trail l Pets OK

Let's make memories with your family in the (Summer) or (Winter) at this year round MN, pet friendly lake cabin w/ a private sand beach.

Enjoy the gorgeous views of the water and nature at your doorstep, grill, play games, or cozy up w/ a bonfire. Relax on the beach, swim, fish from the dock, jump into a paddle boat, kayak or get on a paddle board for more scenery and adventure.

Also, perfect for winter sledding & located on the snowmobile trail.

~ Many guests have also enjoyed troll hunting!

Plenty of space to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. You can gather on the large reclining sectional in the living room for movies or grab a game from the entertainment center. You can also enjoy a beverage by the fireplace in the porch overlooking the lake. There is a queen bed in the first floor bedroom and a spacious 13x31 ft second bedroom upstairs room with 2 queen beds and a brand new sofa sleeper, and a television.

The wrap-around porch and deck afford you the perfect opportunity to sit back and enjoy the bonfire or in the winter watch everyone sledding from a distance, to take in the view of the lake, or to just watch the kids or pups play.

Adventure into Detroit Lakes to enjoy the bustling tourist city, and fun events downtown or hosted by Detroit Mountain, or go just down the road to the cute town of Richwood for ice cream, gas, or essentials. There are also groomed snowmobile trails surrounding the cabin.

Outdoor security cameras may be in use to monitor property.

If traveling in the winter during a period of heavy snow, some cars with less tire traction may have difficulty getting up the driveway. In the past, guests have parked at the top of the hill but it has rarely been an issue.

Best Rental!

This was our second stay at Buffalo Lake Cabin. It is just a stunning and private cabin with a wonderful deck to relax on. The beach with the shallow wading area is perfect for dogs (would be perfect for kiddos too). We love this place and we will be back! Thank you for another wonderful stay!

Amazing stay

When I say this VRBO was top notch, they were so nice from a little card, snacks, it being clean, the best location, and just checking in to make sure everything was okay. No issues at all, my family all collectively agreed that we would like to stay here again in the future!

Fall Getaway

The Buffalo Lake Cabin was a perfect place for a fall getaway. The house was warm and cozy and the outside air was crisp and clean. We enjoyed the fall colors and the lake views. Our lab enjoyed playing fetch in the lake and we enjoyed watching his antics. The cabin had everything we needed. Thank you!

Beautiful cabin!

Had a great week at this cabin with our family of five plus 2 Labrador retrievers. This property is quiet, peaceful, clean and well appointed! We appreciated the private sandy beach, floating dock, kayaks, paddle boat, two grills, fishing gear and plenty of space! Very close to the Richwood stores for supplies, liquor… Easy drive into Detroit Lakes!

Beautiful Rustic Cabin!

Our family had the best time staying at this beautiful cabin! From all the impeccable rustic decor to all the thoughtful amenities, this place really has it all! It was much bigger than I expected and offered us great space for our two tween children and our pup! The waterfront was great, lots of little fish swimming around the dock, even seen a baby snapping turtle. The kids had a blast using the slide, kayaks, paddle boat/board, we played board games and watched family movies. We made memories we will never forget and would definitely come back and stay here again!

Family trip

My family loved this cabin. It had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed using the kayak, paddle boats, paddle board and the fishing pole. We had a fire several nights. Our dog loved playing in the water and we even made a sandcastle. We would love to come back!

Memorable Stay!

Last minute getaway, turned into a must go again! From the ease of checking in to the gift basket upon arrival. Ramey knows how to set up at Minnesota lake cabin. Our little family of 3 + our lab, had an enjoyable quiet weekend taking in the serene landscape overlooking Buffalo Lake. The paddle boat and kayaks made for endless fun. The stockpile of firewood made our evenings memorable! We will definitely be revisiting this Buffalo Lake Cabin! The Nielsens

We had a wonderful weekend at the lake. We were welcomed right from the start with a gift basket of goodies. The couch and throw blankets are perfect for curling up and watching movies. The cabinets were stocked with necessities in both the kitchen and bathroom- seasonings, coffee, first aid, sunscreen, laundry detergent, shampoo, and even some toothpaste in case you forgot. The kayaks and water toys were well clean and well maintained. And the beds…best beds, pillows and linens we have come across in any rental thus far.

Excellent place!

This place was amazing! Perfect for family time - lots for kiddos to do and our dogs loved it! Clean, cozy cabin feel and decor, and had everything we needed (fully stocked kitchen with appliances and cooking utensils, toiletries, etc). Ramey was very communicative, and we had no issues with our stay. Nice dock to tie the pontoon, clean beach with sand, and good swimming. Caught lots of panfish, perch, northern pike, and bass. Welcome binder and basket were a nice touch. A+++

Cozy Cabin Christmas

The cabin was the perfect size for our family of 7. We arrived in the evening, it was dark outside and we were greeted with a very cozy ambiance. A warm and beautifully decorated cabin that resembles a Hallmark movie set. The fireplace was on, and the welcome basket had perfect snacks for us hungry travelers while we made our dinner. The cabin was very clean and was also well equipped, from our necessities to entertainment, tv(s), puzzles, board games, and a roomy 4 season porch for our 10 years old to run around in. The host was very easy to reach when we had a question. We are planning to go back this summer too❣️

Buffalo Lake

Very Rustic cabin that could use updates. Very small master bedroom and kitchen. Kitchen had poor working space, no dishwasher or disposal. Overall cabin lighting was poor. Beach, firepit and Grills were great as was the deck. This property was overpriced for the size and amenities.
