Winter Wonderland in a Classic, Cozy Cabin - Strawberry Lake Cabin Here Up North, we know about winter. How to get cozy, enjoy good company, and, of course, how to deeply appreciate the downy white blanket of snow that envelops us for several months of the year. With our winter smarts and fondness for the season, we created what we think is the ideal wintertime getaway here at Strawberry Lake Cabin. Built in 2013 by local Minnesota craftsmen, our cabin wall and floors boast radiant heat (great for defrosting your toes after a snowy hike), its comfy indoor spaces are great for long conversations and warm drinks, and its spotless kitchen encourages you to prepare some snowed-in comfort food together. Or, maybe you'd like to be pampered and treated to a local homemade catered breakfast, lunch or dinner - we can help make that happen. Not to mention the world of winter activities waiting just outside the cabin. Watch thick snowflakes drift to the snow-blanketed ground and frozen lake through the prism of the cabin’s cathedral windows, which reach from the living area to the lofted bedroom. Then venture out to explore the glittering, snowbound landscape for yourself! Update: We are now offering you a complimentary ski pass, up to four persons, at Maplelag Resort, located 7 miles away. If cross-country skiing, skate skiing, fat tire biking on groomed trails and snowshoeing piques your interest, take advantage of our ski pass! A RETREAT FOR COUPLES, FRIENDS & FAMILIES; MOREOVER, A PLACE TO REUNITE WHERE EVERYONE CAN SPREAD OUT Couples love it here at our Strawberry Lake Cabin—no matter the season. Experience the easy romance of tucking into nature together and shaking off the stresses of everyday life. From the cozy, lofted bedroom, views of an unpolluted Minnesota sky full of stars will lull you into a deep sleep, and a winter wonderland will greet you in the morning. When you and your sweetheart are ready to venture out, a whole slew of winter activities await. From ice fishing, ice skating at a local pond, to traversing 250 miles of snowmobiling trails, to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing across beautiful landscapes…including at lovely Pine Lake in the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge, just 3 miles from the cabin, or at the nearby winter-sports haven Maplelag Resort. Your complimentary Maplelag ski pass for four people is waiting for you! Friends’ getaways of two to four people—complimented by a bottle of Minnesota wine, maybe? — find a wonderful setting here, as well. And families find a home-away-from home at Strawberry Lake Cabin. We have a highchair, a baby crib, and a washer/dryer for warm, fresh clothes for everyone mid-week. And, like your home, you can plug-in to our complimentary Wi-Fi service. If the conditions are just right, Strawberry Lake will offer up one of winter’s classic treats—ice skating! If it’s cold outside, but not buried in snow, you can hit the ice, and afterward, build a bonfire in the outdoor fire-pit and sip hot chocolate beside the warming flames. Unfortunately, our fickle winters don’t always allow for this, but keep an eye on the lake if you visit to see if it’s a possibility! MAKE NEW MEMORIES WITH US There’s a timeless quality to Strawberry Lake and Northern Minnesota. As the setting for many of my own happy childhood memories (and the place where I proposed to my wife), the woods and lakes Up North hold a special place in my heart. I love being able to share the magic of this place with others—at a cabin built by people who live here in the area, too. We’ve decorated the house with items that mean a lot to us, collected locally and around the world. If you’d like to capture the essence of that “feeling of premium” – we’d love to have you here to experience our version of paradise at Strawberry Lake! Kind regards, Don (& Cheryl) Aamodt, Owners P.S. – Are you looking for a laptop-friendly workplace away from home?... we have year-round, fiber optic high-speed internet.Technicolor Autumn in a Timeless Cabin - Strawberry Lake Cabin Few places can brag about autumns as astonishingly brilliant as the ones we enjoy Up North in the wilds of Minnesota. And, this log cabin, built by local Minnesota craftsmen in 2013 and tucked into a wooded lot bordering Strawberry Lake, just 23 miles north of Detroit Lakes, welcomes you to a cozy getaway right in the center of some of the country’s most vivid fall beauty. FALL COLOR TAKES CENTER STAGE Every window at our Strawberry Lake Cabin frames a kaleidoscopic view of trees bursting into red, yellow, gold and orange. This is especially true of the cathedral windows encompassing the entire front of the cabin—from the main living area to the lofted bedroom. The vaulted ceiling and knotty pine/basswood walls increase the splendor of this part of the cabin, which also overlooks glittering Strawberry Lake. Cozy up on the bench on the spacious deck facing the lake—a steamy mug of hot chocolate or coffee in hand—while the birds in the bright trees and on the mirrored water sing their last songs before heading south. Or, on a sun-drenched day, sear some burgers on the gas grill and enjoy them on the screened porch. Then have a bonfire as the late-day sun’s gold light filters through the trees. Did we mention the radiant, in-floor and wall heating? Nothing beats it on a chilly autumn morning, or when you return from a crisp afternoon hike. Leave your boots at the door and give your toes a treat!

Experience the easy romance of tucking into nature together and shaking off the stresses of everyday life. Unbound lake views greet you in the morning from the cozy, lofted bedroom, and a clear Minnesota sky full of stars lulls you into a deep sleep. Plenty of autumn activities await active couples here, from hiking through golden forests, to biking lovely back roads, to exploring the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge (just 3 miles from the cabin) as animals scurry to prepare for the long winter ahead.

We have a highchair, a baby crib, and a washer/dryer for warm, fresh clothes for everyone mid-week. No matter who you’re traveling with, we highly recommend a canoe trip out on Strawberry Lake. We provide the canoe for you! And the water here is calm and peaceful, with less motorboat traffic than on many of the lakes in this area. Not to mention the water clarity: spring-fed Strawberry Lake is so clear, that you can see almost 17 feet straight down to the bottom!

Our complimentary canoe may be the slower pace you’re seeking for birding, photography and simply slowing the conversation while leisurely paddling our nearby bay. If exploring or fishing the northern reaches of Strawberry Lake appeals to you, we now have the option of a 14 ft. boat and ‘whisper quiet’ 9.9 H.P. four-stroke motor available at a flat rate. If you’d like to capture the essence of that “feeling of premium” – a mist in the air or sheen that validates your choice to stay with us, contact us today to book your fall getaway!

Coffee cake 😀
Everything you need they provide and the relaxation of nature that I haven't heard and seen in over 20 years. Work and kids, this was a great treat for me and my kids. First vacation we loved Canoeing, my youngest love and catching fish of the dock. Well we all did.

My wife and I needed to get away following some bad news. Don, Gayle, and Les were amazing hosts. They responded quickly, were kind, and Gayle even brought over some delicious cake. This was just what we needed. We sat by the fire and looked out at the lake, mostly, and explored the Detroit Lakes area (we're not from around here). They set us up with a complementary canoe, but we couldn't get to it this time. We're forever grateful and highly recommend!

Lovely Late-Winter Retreat
We loved our stay at Don’s Strawberry Lake cabin. It is a beautiful wood cabin that is well-built and well taken care of. The large windows provide gorgeous views of the lake. The cabin is extremely cozy and has a very stocked kitchen filled with all the pots and pans one could possibly need. We were happy to stay inside relax, read and enjoy the lake views during our stay. Don and Les were extremely responsive and helped us with anything we needed. We felt so spoiled the entire time and would love to be back.

Beautiful cabin in a relaxing envir
My husband and I stayed at this cabin for our 1 year anniversary. Although all of the leaves had already fallen, it was still a beautiful and relaxing vacation. The cabin is very clean and comes with everything you need to enjoy your time. It is right on a lake, so you wake up to specular views. It is near lots of hiking trails if you want to get out for the day, or they have movies, board games, a canoe and fire pit if you wamt to stay in and do activities. The kitchen has all the basic essentials and even more like a waffle maker! We are already planning our trip back here again. Don't miss out on this relaxing place!!
