Our Cozy little cabin is the perfect getaway for all seasons. The sauna is an extra treat. The property is close to the tiny town of Osage and the Smokey Hills State Forest. The Shell River runs through the property providing the perfect relaxing background at the campfire. The large oaks provide beautiful green shade in the summer, an array of orange & yellow in the fall and a beautiful place for the frost and snow to settle in the winter.
Everything about the cabin was well thought out. Very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed being able to have a fire outside because the weather was perfect for it! Great selection of movies! We loved all of the light the windows let in and the coziness of the cabin. Just what we wanted to come back to after hiking!
The Perfect Getaway! We spent lots of time in the beautiful autumn weather taking in fall colors in the surrounding state parks. Donât miss The Lost Forty and the Mississippi Headwaters. Returning to our little cabin in the woods felt like a hug each evening when we returned. Small and well-thought out, Shell Cabin had everything you need without a lot of clutter. A grade on this VRBO!
This little cabin had an awesome movie selection and a really well stocked kitchen. We loved the dog-friendliness and the fire pit! Everything was clean, comfy, and convenient. I do wish that more of the windows had curtains. Overall very highly recommend this property!
We really had a nice time here, great location for Park Rapids and Itasca State Park. Very clean and well stocked with everything we needed, the bed was very comfy. We Loved our stay here
Nice except neighbor kid riding around on his 4 wheelerâboth daysânot really private locationâshower not well thought out because water would pour onto the floorâloud water machine âŠ.we did not smoke in there and left place clean âdonât know about wine spillâ-thanks
Check in / out was simple. The property was very nice. The home had absolutely everything we could have needed. The yard was private and had plenty of room for our pup to run around & play. The BBQ, fire ring and firewood were very nice to have for use. We enjoyed our stay here in the peace & quiet.
Had what we needed to make a meal and relax for a few days. With all the rain and humidity it was a little damp inside, but that's really just part of the Minnesota summer climate.
Fantastic, peaceful cabin with everything we needed and more! Loved the sauna. Easy drive to Park Rapids. Relaxing stay - looking forward to a repeat visit.
This was such a great place to truly kick back and relax! It was comfortable having all you needed to enjoy a "home away from home." The sauna was a bonus to help a person unwind. There was a great selection of movies with a kitchen, which had everything to prep a fantastic meal. It was simply a fun place to stay. Would love to come back again!
The property was very clean and welcoming, and it had everything we needed for a great stay. The cabin felt very spacious and had an amazing movie collection, with plenty of blankets and a comfy couch to settle into. The sauna was especially great because it was -21 degrees during our stay! The bed was very firm for our liking, but thatâs a personal preference. Also, there were many neighbors close by that werenât apparent in the listing, and most of the windows donât have coverings. Overall, a phenomenal stay and we would come back anytime!
Hello, I am a Park Rapids resident. I lived near Park Rapids as a child and moved back to the area to raise my family. The house just South of the River Cabin is where my husband, Kelly and I raised our children until 2004. I owned and operated Dogs Paw near Park Rapids for 14 years. This cabin has a fun history, and we love sharing the property with guests so that you can experience the relaxing environment.
I love this place for the large oak trees and the peaceful river. The location is close to the Smokey Hills State Forest, Straight Lake, Park Rapids and about a 25â30-minute drive to Itasca State Park.
