Getaway Shores offers incredible experiences and unique adventures in all four seasons! Fish, boat, swim, & hike in the warmer months. Snowshoe, cross-country ski, ice fish, and enjoy the sauna in the winter. The cabin has a wood burning stove, an authentic, traditional Finnish sauna, and incredible lake views from every room. Watching the sun set across the lake from the deck will be the highlight of your already unforgettable day!

The cabin has a canoe, kayak, fishing boat for you to use for fishing, swimming, and exploring the lake. The front porch is also the dock, so you can easily swim or launch the boats at any moment.

THE PROPERTY
The cabin is built directly on the shore of Lake Mitawan. It is designed to host up to 4 .people but can sleep up to 6 people. Located on four acres of mature red and white pines and 220 ft of shoreline, it is a remote, private property across the lake from forested federal land. You will do not see any buildings or neighbors. Please remove shoes and bring slippers.

TRADITIONAL FINNISH SAUNA
Finnish saunas are a Northern Minnesotan tradition and will be a memorable highlight of your visit. Located in a cozy little A-Frame structure just up the path from the cabin, breath deeply in the steam from a wood burning stove and take in incredible views of the lake. If you want a full Finnish sauna experience, run and jump in the lake or a snow pile after a soak in the sauna!

Great secluded cozy cabin!
My family of 2 teens and 2 adults had a fantastic say at this cozy cabin. Despite the fickle weather of October in MN, the cabin was comfortable. Beautiful views over the lake every morning. Fish weren't biting the long weekend we were there, but we had fun trying from the overwater porch. Definitely planning to come back again in the summer. For those who read the reviews to help with their packing here are my tips: bring coffee for a cone drip maker (no filter needed). and there was a coffee grinder there! The stove and oven are gas (yay!). The refrigerator was full sized, modern and spotlessly clean. Bring smores sticks with you. They were probably there in the kitchen, but just in case you can't do without them! It's a good hour + to the nearest place to buy groceries or bait, so plan ahead and bring what you need. There was a nice supply of paper products, tinfoil, flour/sugar/oil, shore lunch breading (!), and even a variety of spices (Penzeys). There is spotty cell coverage in the National Forrest, so don't rely on your phone to access driving and check-in instructions. We had no problems and regained coverage near the cabin, but I wished I had listened to the owner's clear instructions to PRINT THEM OUT in advance. Wifi and TV in the cabin were great. Great experience and would love to return. This is a really special place. Say hi to the otters for us!!

Need More Stars!
This place is unbelievably cool, what a great get away! We visited both the North Shore and Ely, but could have easily had a great time simply staying at the cabin. My husband caught his first Northern Pike, right off the deck. We enjoyed boating and loved our daily visits from the neighborhood loons and otters! Cant wait to start planning a next time!

We are a friendly couple living in the Twin Cities who love to share our beloved Northern Minnesota getaway location with others!

Why they chose this property

Lake Mitawan is private, remote, and surrounded by the most beautiful nature we've ever seen! Our neighbors are the moose, loons, foxes, and deer. It's the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city living and unwind in the fresh air and water that is unique to the North Shore of Minnesota.

What makes this property unique

When you step out the door, you are on a dock/deck and can launch a boat, jump in the lake for a swim, cross country ski, or snowshoe right from the front deck! We make it easy to explore by providing a canoe, kayak, fishing boat, sail boat, and snowshoes. The authentic, traditional Finnish sauna is a unique experience and will be the highlight of your cozy winter weekend getaway!
