Newly remodeled cabin, perfect for 2 people. Smart layout and good use of space in the footprint. Had everything we needed in kitchen and bath. Great spot we used as a landing pad and took other side trips from there. Owner very easy to work with and super nice!

Great getaway
The cabins are great places to stay. Clean with unique decore. We had everything we needed. It is a small cabin that works great for a small family or couple. The manager was very helpful and friendly. She referred us to great services (boat rental, etc).

Amazing getaway
We truly enjoyed our stay at Dam Cabins. Tiffany was an amazing host. The cabin was as described, nicely updated, clean and comfortable. We didn’t have any issues with anything. Not even any flies or mosquitoes in the cabin. It was a nice and quiet getaway without all of the noise of lots of other guests. Peaceful. Our dog had a blast hanging out by the fire and playing in the yard. We will definitely be back!

Perfect cozy cabin that is pet friendly if you need a place to stay close to the big lakes. Not much to do in the immediate area, but worked perfect for me to drive to Winnie to fish or Leech lake. Great updated cabin for the single person.

Quick 1 night stay
Everything was every clean and well kept. The advertisement for ice cream was very misleading for it to only be frozen ice cream sandwiches. We enjoyed our stay for what we needed it for.
