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. Don’t 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!

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.

Relaxing!
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!
