Staying in a cabin makes total sense for singles, couples or families vacationing in Minnesota. There are so many great lakes that offer an endless range of activities from boating, fishing, swimming to antique shopping, hiking or hanging out on a dock and enjoying a spectacular sunset. Cabin rentals give couples and families privacy and amenities that simply cannot be found in motels or hotels. As a matter of fact, in many of Minnesota lake areas, cabins are easy to find, but hotels are hard to come by.

Cabins in Minnesota can accommodate families as well as singles. Some stand alone in lake regions, while others are part of a series of cabins or resorts that include amenities like game rooms, boat rentals, beaches, docks, laundry facilities, tennis courts, playgrounds, hiking trails, dining lodges and more. Lakeside cabins come complete with one, two, three and four bedrooms with equipped kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor grilling areas, gas and charcoal grills, sandy beaches, fishing spots, docks and more.

Fishing enthusiasts love spending vacations in Minnesota cabins and often take on the challenge of fishing for walleyes, bass, pike, perch and sunfish for the kids. Most vacationers who come to the area to fish find Mille Lacs, Red and the Leech Lake areas the best places to rent cabins and catch the best and most fish. The walleye is one of Minnesota's prized catches and makes for delicious eating. These lakes are known for walleye averaging a pound or better. What better way to spend a day on the lake catching walleye and an evening cooking it up on a grill?

Accommodations on popular Minnesota lakes usually average around $1200 for a summer week's stay in a two bedroom cabin. Discounted rates are generally offered during the winter, spring and fall months. Prices vary and often depend on whether the cabin has housekeeping services, towels, linens, blankets, etc. Many of the resorts with cabins in their facilities do have housekeeping packages, and prices will be somewhat higher.

Those who are on a budget will save a lot of money by staying in bunkhouses that have plenty of room for large groups. Bunkhouse cabins usually accommodate eight or more and have their own kitchenette for cooking, a bathroom and shower facilities. Bunkhouse cabins are popular among horseback riding enthusiasts, because most bunkhouses also have horse stalls and miles of trails to ride on. A typical night's stay in a bunkhouse cabin is around $65.

The adventures of a Minnesota vacation begin in one of the thousands of secluded or resort cabins in the state's lake regions. Using a cabin as a home-base, vacationers find a myriad of activities to enjoy and explore, whether it be fishing for the 'one that didn't get away' to relaxing on a private dock and enjoying a fabulous sunrise or sunset.
