Quaint Cabin on Sibley Lake PONTOON INCLUDED thru early October.

Look no further if a true Minnesota cabin experience is what you're after. Once you arrive, the path to the "Stairway to Heaven" will quickly make you realize why you made the trek Up North. This 1940’s cabin was fully renovated in the winter of 2018 and is essentially brand new inside and out, but the charm of the original cabin has been maintained and is evident throughout. You get the true cabin feel as you enter the main level which combines the family room and dining area for an open, yet cozy feel. The wood-burning fireplace on the main level will warm you up quickly on those cooler nights (firewood included). Enjoy meals at the dining room table or grab a book and snuggle up in front of the fireplace or on the built-in bench; all while overlooking Brown's Bay. This level also includes a custom-made Murphy bed that converts to a game table for chess and checkers matches. The quaint kitchen packs all of the amenities you could need, including stainless steel appliances along with a double-drawer beverage fridge. The main level also includes a full bathroom with a walk-in tiled shower and additional storage.
The excitement builds as you head up the spiral stairs to the master bedroom, your expectations will most definitely be met as you feel on top of the world all while overlooking Sibley Lake from every angle. You can head out onto the balcony to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine and take in amazing sunset views. The master bathroom has been fully remodeled to include a farmhouse sink, walk-in tiled shower with glass doors and jetted sprays. You will not want to get out of bed in the morning as you will wake up and want to take in all of the beauty that surrounds this room.
As you head back down the spiral staircase, you will then head outside down the exterior staircase into the lower level of the house where you will find Bob’s bar, a perfect spot to hang out with your friends and family or sit and relax and enjoy a movie or game on the flat screen TV. This room also has a leather couch that pulls out into a queen-size bed to allow for additional sleeping space.
As you head out of the lower level you will walk across the patio to the upper boat house. This will likely be the kids or maybe the parents favorite place to hang out as it will feel like their little getaway space. The boathouse has built-in bunk beds, along with a day bed for comfortable sleeping. You will feel like you are sleeping on the water as the boathouse is situated just steps away from the lakeshore.
As you head out of the cabin, you are just steps away from the dock that is perfect for fishing, swimming, and relaxing. Head out for a cruise around the lake or to the sand bar on the 2019 Sylvan fish and cruise pontoon (rental of cabin includes the pontoon boat). Everyone loves a good campfire and s'mores, so the shoreline also boasts a firepit and Adirondack chairs to enjoy the fire and the lake views on those beautiful Minnesota summer evenings. Finally, the cedar sauna house and patio are a perfect place to begin or end your day. With beautiful views of Sibley Lake, relax and enjoy some quiet time away from all the hustle and bustle.
For those that like to stay connected or to not miss the Wild, Twins, Vikings, United, or T-Wolves games, both the main and lower-level bar have high-definition TV’s with DirectTV or streaming with free fast Wi-Fi.
This property is perfect for a family, or an extended family, or a couple’s getaway. Upon reservation confirmation you will receive a complete list of what to bring, so you are prepared for your time at the lake. Please feel free to inquire with any questions you may have and will promptly reply. We pride ourselves on maintaining our property and keep it in excellent condition, we are certain we will exceed your expectations in this regard. Since we also live across the lake from the cabin, should any questions or issues arise we can respond quickly.
NOTE: There are a number of stairs on the property as you will see in the photos. We purchased the cabin from folks in their 90’s so we believe these stairs keep you young. There is a hill tram conveniently located to help bring people, supplies and luggage up and down from street level to the cabin and is available for use year-round.
NOTE: The pontoon is in the water, and use is included in the stated rental rates, from approximately mid-May to mid-October (weather dependent).
NOTE: The main cabin includes a central air heating and cooling system. The bunkhouse includes a ductless split that provides both heat and cooling.

Cozy quiet cabin
We came up for a wedding and fall colors and had such a great time! The cabin is super cozy and very obviously well cared for. The master suite makes it a perfect getaway for a couple and the bunk house would be an awesome spot for older kids to sleep! We loved enjoying the lake, large patio and amazing sauna while also enjoying all of the close by parks and downtown nisswa and Pequot lakes. Krista, the host, was extremely communicative, helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay everything we wanted it to be. Would definitely recommend a stay!

Just Perfect!
This property is so well taken care of and is even better than the pictures. It is incredibly comfortable for a couple but we regretted not finding this while we still had children around to enjoy the bunkhouse; that seems like pure magic for older kids/middle schoolers. Morning and evening tours in the pontoon boat let us keep tabs on the lake's bald eagle, blue heron and loon. We really enjoyed sunsets, the kayak and meals in nearby Nisswa. The owners were so helpful and responsive - you'll never find a better place for a beautiful and relaxing vacation!

Perfect Family Getaway
We had everything we needed to enjoy a week together before the kids went back to college. It’s impossible to be bored here, there was always something to do. Our top favorites were taking pontoon rides and hanging out in the sauna. The communication with the host was fantastic, we will definitely be back again!

Sweet Property, Sweet Locale
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Brown’s Bay cabin! It’s an incredible, historic and beautifully renovated, property! We found Jon and Krista to be amazing hosts; responsive, capable and kind! We enjoyed great fishing off the dock, pontoon rides on the lake, bird watching, amazing sunsets, the canoe and kayak, fire pit, morning walks and the proximity to town. Our teenager enjoyed the privacy afforded by the boathouse. This is truly one of the best rentals we’ve experienced! It’s clean, stylish, well cared for and such a smart use of space. Plus, our dog could join us! There are shops, dining and a good grocery store right in Pequot Lakes. There’s more in nearby Nisswa. I highly recommend this property and hope to return.

Cabin was everything stated. Very clean and comfortable. Easy and accessible comunication with the owners. Highly recommended if your not afraid of steps. The electric trolly was very helpful. The only thing i would recommed is to stop and get bait before you get to Pequot Lakes. The bait shop didn't have any bait the 3 days we were there

Wonderful Cabin!
We traveled from home in Texas to Pequot Lakes, MN for 5 days -- after Xmas and through the New Year. We are very familiar with the area as my in-laws once lived there. The property and cabin are wonderful! Krista is a great host -- great directions/info and let us know the ins and outs of the cabin before we arrived. The cabin is also furnished with just about everything you need to stay...except for food, drink, etc. There are also a lot of amenities there as well...though we didn't get a chance to sample them all. The only *issue* -- and it's really not an issue, simply something that elderly folks or those with mobility issues might need to know -- is that the cabin is down by the lake and it's a short, but steep trek down the cement steps to get to it from garage where you park. For the record, my Mother-in-law who is 81 was with us and had very little issue navigating the steps. A+ property, highly recommended by our family, and we would definitely stay again on our next trip up!
