Beautiful Lake Cabin 1 Hour from MPLS/St Paul
Welcome to our cabin, Sailor's Cove, directly on West Rush Lake and get ready to relax. This full season cabin offers amazing views from the deck or patio and has approx. 100 feet of shoreline. Boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, relaxing, games, campfires, fire table, 2 lakeside restaurants and oh the view… the list goes on. Enjoy beautiful Minnesotan seasons on the lake! This is your escape! Views and wildlife, cozy places to relax and good restaurants to eat at, we have it all! In the summer you can fish right off the dock, bring your boat (public landing just minutes away), rent a boat or use our canoe/kayak and explore approximately 1500 acres of recreational enjoyment. Plus there are over an additional 1000 acres of water accessible thru a short channel to East Rush Lake! What could be better? Islands, bays, restaurants, sunrises and sunsets all just waiting for you to enjoy!
You can enjoy looking at the lake from the new deck off the main level or from the expansive patio below. We just added a "fire table" to the deck which has quickly become a special spot to enjoy the views. One of my favorite things is sitting with a cup of coffee on the second deck, the "sunrise" deck, aptly named for the view. A cozy fire pit on the patio is surrounded by comfy furniture for relaxing evenings and reminiscing. Listen to the loons and watch eagles soar overhead, wildlife abounds! The cabin is situated on part of a peninsula which adds more privacy and lake views. The neighborhood bar/restaurant, Grumpy Minnow, is a quick 5 min. boat ride around the bend or a 15 min. walk thru the neighborhood. Flickabird's is another lakeside bar/restaurant that is accessible thru the channel to East Rush Lake and a marina.
We are close to several wedding venues in the Rush City, Cambridge and Stanchfield areas. The cabin is a perfect place to come together as well as wind down.
Our calendar is up to date so if a date is open it is available.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU COME UP AND STAY AWHILE!
