If you’re searching for luxury cabins in Minnesota, you’re in for a treat. Minnesota is home to over 10,000 lakes and the largest great lake in the US, Lake Superior. These lakes are surrounded by spectacular woods – with cozy cabins scattered throughout.
No matter the weather, there’s always something to do. Summer is ideal for kayaking, boating, fishing, and golfing. The transition into the Fall season is a worthy sight on its own. And the winter months are great for cozying up in a cabin or cross-country skiing.
Besides the state’s natural beauty, notable spots like Guthrie Theater and the Science Museum of Minnesota are well worth visiting. There are also plenty of music festivals in Minnesota that you won’t want to miss.
Below are some of the top luxury cabin rentals MN has to offer so you can enjoy the best of this state in comfort and style.
