Buffalo Lake Cabin I Private Beach l Detroit Lakes l Pet Friendly

Let's make memories with your family in the (Summer) or (Winter) at this year round MN, pet friendly lake cabin w/ a private sand beach.

Enjoy the gorgeous views of the water and nature at your doorstep, grill, play games, or cozy up w/ a bonfire. Relax on the beach, swim, fish from the dock, jump into a paddle boat, kayak or get on a paddle board for more scenery and adventure.

Also, perfect for winter sledding & located on the snowmobile trail.

~ Many guests have also enjoyed troll hunting!

Plenty of space to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. You can gather on the large reclining sectional in the living room for movies or grab a game from the entertainment center. You can also enjoy a beverage by the fireplace in the porch overlooking the lake. There is a queen bed in the first floor bedroom and a spacious 13x31 ft second bedroom upstairs room with 2 queen beds and a brand new sofa sleeper, and a television.

The wrap-around porch and deck afford you the perfect opportunity to sit back and enjoy the bonfire or in the winter watch everyone sledding from a distance, to take in the view of the lake, or to just watch the kids or pups play.

Adventure into Detroit Lakes to enjoy the bustling tourist city, and fun events downtown or hosted by Detroit Mountain, or go just down the road to the cute town of Richwood for ice cream, gas, or essentials. There are also groomed snowmobile trails surrounding the cabin.

Outdoor security cameras may be in use to monitor property.

If traveling in the winter during a period of heavy snow, some cars with less tire traction may have difficulty getting up the driveway. In the past, guests have parked at the top of the hill but it has rarely been an issue.

Fall Getaway

The Buffalo Lake Cabin was a perfect place for a fall getaway. The house was warm and cozy and the outside air was crisp and clean. We enjoyed the fall colors and the lake views. Our lab enjoyed playing fetch in the lake and we enjoyed watching his antics. The cabin had everything we needed. Thank you!

Beautiful Rustic Cabin!

Our family had the best time staying at this beautiful cabin! From all the impeccable rustic decor to all the thoughtful amenities, this place really has it all! It was much bigger than I expected and offered us great space for our two tween children and our pup! The waterfront was great, lots of little fish swimming around the dock, even seen a baby snapping turtle. The kids had a blast using the slide, kayaks, paddle boat/board, we played board games and watched family movies. We made memories we will never forget and would definitely come back and stay here again!

This was our second stay at Buffalo Lake Cabin. It is just a stunning and private cabin with a wonderful deck to relax on. The beach with the shallow wading area is perfect for dogs (would be perfect for kiddos too). We love this place and we will be back! Thank you for another wonderful stay!

Memorable Stay!

Last minute getaway, turned into a must go again! From the ease of checking in to the gift basket upon arrival. Ramey knows how to set up at Minnesota lake cabin. Our little family of 3 + our lab, had an enjoyable quiet weekend taking in the serene landscape overlooking Buffalo Lake. The paddle boat and kayaks made for endless fun. The stockpile of firewood made our evenings memorable! We will definitely be revisiting this Buffalo Lake Cabin! The Nielsens

Great Family Getaway

Lovely time! The cabin was clean and well-organized. We appreciated the extra supplies and made use of the fishing poles and a few bandaids. :D We loved using the paddleboard and little kids kayak, etc. The lake was cleared around the dock and slide and was perfect for swimming and kids learning to paddle around. Swim shoes are a must- lots of snails, especially as you get a few feet past the slide. No issues with itch from snails though. We were surprised to not have any issues with mosquitoes- thought they'd be thick in the woods at night. The sand areas along the beach and off the back deck were nice and clean too. The kids liked exploring the games inside during rainy parts of the trip. They especially like the big dice. Ramey checked in prior, shortly after arrival, and a time or two during our stay, which was great. Good communication. Hoping to come back next summer!

Beautiful cabin!

Had a great week at this cabin with our family of five plus 2 Labrador retrievers. This property is quiet, peaceful, clean and well appointed! We appreciated the private sandy beach, floating dock, kayaks, paddle boat, two grills, fishing gear and plenty of space! Very close to the Richwood stores for supplies, liquor… Easy drive into Detroit Lakes!
