Northwoods Cabin on a Private Lake: "The Refuge at North Padre"

The "Refuge at North Padre" is a beautiful, peaceful cabin in the northwoods of Minnesota. A perfect getaway to breathe, reconnect, or simply refresh. Single night and last minute stays are available, please inquire if interested.
Situated on a private lake (no public access) with a gradual slope to the waters edge, this property is ideal for all ages. Sharing its property boundary with the George Washington State Forest, this is a tranquil location to truly get away and rest. Wake up to stunning sunrises and the sound of loons echoing as the fog rises off the lake. Lounge by the cozy fire and enjoy a kitchen with all the amenities of home.

Located 45 minutes north of Grand Rapids, MN and just 12 miles southwest of Scenic State Park. For those looking to adventure there are many options nearby: the Joyce Estate, Little American Falls, McCarthy Beach State Park, Suomi Hills, The Lost 40, and 90 miles to Voyageurs National Park.

We are blessed to be near Whispering Pines Massage, located approximately 15 minutes from The Refuge. Visit and book your massage treatment today: www.whisperingpines.massagetherapy.com


> Enjoy an evening by the rock fire pit. Amazing star gazing!
> Guests are welcome to use the canoe and kayaks (1 adult kayak/1 youth kayak) on the property. Life jackets for all ages available.
> Large yard for a game of catch!
> The Refuge does not have central air, however it stays relatively cool and there are ceiling fans and tower fans throughout the home. A window air conditioning unit is installed in the bedroom when needed during the heat of the summer.
