Fish, Bike & Relax | Garrison Area Retreat

The Space

Welcome to your 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront cabin on Whitefish Lake in Garrison, Minnesota. This spacious retreat sleeps up to 10 guests with 3 queen beds, 2 full beds, and twin bunk beds. The main cabin offers three bedrooms, while the fully heated and air-conditioned loft over the garage provides a fourth area for sleeping and lounging — perfect for older kids, teens, or couples who enjoy extra privacy.

Need to mix work with play? You’ll love the charming “She Shed” office, a separate workspace just steps from the main house, providing a quiet spot for remote work or creative projects while still being close to the action.
