Photos and Description of the Longville vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed, 1 Bath (Sleeps 1-6)

The charm, comfort, and beautiful setting of our vintage Northwoods log cabin will make your cares melt away. Our cabin sits so close to the water, you'll feel like you're floating on stunning Lake Wabedo. Inside the home, you're treated to comfortable furnishings, a well-appointed kitchen, and amazing views of the lake from nearly every room in the house; outside, you're literally steps away from swimming, paddling, and world-class fishing

What will you do with your day? Watch the sky turn early-morning pink over the lake without even leaving your bed. Enjoy your coffee from the lakeside deck in the company of the many birds that visit our feeders. Perhaps you'll head out in the canoe to visit Fish Island, or explore the winding channel that connects Lake Wabedo to Little Boy Lake. Bring or rent a boat and fish the waters of them both, nearly 2600 acres total, and reel in everything from panfish to walleye to trophy-sized muskie (of course, fishing's not bad from our dock either). Enjoy a cool drink and watch the kids swim off the dock while you relax in a chaise lounge. In the evening, take in the sunset from the deck and listen to the ghostly call of the loons.

Should the weather be inclement, no worries--our cabin has a spacious open floor plan, and everything in it has been carefully chosen with comfort and relaxation in mind. There's plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to hang out and watch a movie, play a game, or just enjoy the company of good friends and family.

Feel the need to get out? Visit one of many charming nearby towns, including Longville, just a few miles away and home to world-famous turtle races! Hit the links at nearby Ridgewood Golf Course, or putt-putt at Birdie's in Longville. Try your luck at the Northern Lights Casino in Walker, or take in a movie at the Bear Pause Theater. Hike or bike the many local trails, and visit Deep Portage Conservation Reserve for a variety of outdoor activities and classes.

Whatever you choose, the backdrop for it all is the calling loons, towering pines, and lapping waters of Lake Wabedo. You will leave feeling rested, rejuvenated . . . and eager to come back

About Kirk Buster

I grew up in northern Minnesota, just a couple of hours east of our cabin. I have so many fond memories of fishing with my dad and brother, camping with the family, hiking with Boy Scouts and exploring with friends. When I got married, I talked my (agreeable) wife into a Northwoods, Boundary Waters, house-boating honeymoon. She was instantly hooked on Minnesota and we've vacationed here most summers since.

Kirk Buster purchased this cabin in 2011
Why Kirk Buster chose Longville

We were looking for the classic Minnesota lake cabin and knew we were at home the first time we saw this early-40s log cabin.

Our family of four mid-thirty and mid-sixty year old's spent a long weekend at Wabedo Cabin in late September. The cabin was as charming, comfortable and thoughtfully furnished as we had expected. The countryside, wildlife, autumn colors, and general ambiance were over and above what we had anticipated, even having read the reviews!

We hiked gently sloping trails and canoed when we were't hiking. We saw beaver, eagles, loons and other waterfowl on the lake. At the end of the day we paddled into the sunset while the occasional fish rippled the water, then headed back for cooking and conversation. We were able to put together some very good meals in the well appointed kitchen, and read ourselves to sleep in wonderfully comfortable beds.

Brilliantly colored foliage illuminated by the rising sun and reflected in the mirror-smooth lake is my take away visual for the weekend. Wabedo Cabin is the very essence of it's locale. Thank you, Kirk and Shannon, for finding that essence and making it comfortably available. Ours was a wonderful family weekend.

Wabedo cabin

Just what a cabin in the north woods should be like. built in the 40s, so it was close to the Lake. Owners maintained the historical character of the cabin, plus additions, etc. : yet provided modern amenities, i.e. WiFi and cable TV, plus an electric boat lift.
cabin well-eauipped for whatever we needed. fishing was spotty and we had trouble finding the right spots. Nice touches of the owners' personality.
We used the deck to entertain and just enjoy. Slept in the "other" bedroom so we could hear the waves and the wind. Lake beautiful and good views in and out of the cabin.
There's a good golf course down the road. Longville is quaint small town. No recommended restaurants. for that we went to Walker.
We would recommend to others.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thank you for our very first review of a month-long stay at Wabedo Cabin! We're so glad you got a kick out of the vintage character of the cabin -- we've tried hard to balance 1940's style with 2010's amenities. Regarding dining out, I agree. Walker, MN (just half an hour from the cabin) does have some tasty restaurants and is also a fun place to knock around for an afternoon. That said, I remain a big fan of the Cowboy Burger at The Anchorage, just up the road from the cabin ;) One note for future renters: the boat lift is not typically included in the cabin rental and was provided to these guests in consideration of their lengthy stay.

The character and thoughtful touches throughout this beautiful cabin were absolutely perfect! The weather was sunny every day so my mom, sister and I were able to enjoy the great deck and read romance novels. The boys, my husband and dad, were out fishing morning, afternoon and night! I have to say we have come to the Longville area for over 20 years and this year they loved the fun of actually catching fish! Dad caught a nice 4 pound small off the dock along with many sunnies! In the boat they reeled in bass, walleye, northern and sunnies throughout the week. The hot weather brought with it humidity -- 90 plus degrees all week and severe thunderstorms! We lost power Monday night through late Tuesday afternoon but had a good time by flashlight playing cards and trivia games. I guess it was a blessing being cut off from the tech world we live in today to spend some quality time with the fam! We have a tradition of dinners while Up North consisting of chop sue, homemade spaghetti and meatballs, pulled pork, filet mignon and of course burgers and brats! No trip to Longville would be complete without a visit to Frostys in town. A sincere THANK YOU to the Busters for the beautiful cabin and amenities and allowing us to create another year of a fabulous family vacation! Cheers!

What a wonderful week. We saw so many birds and of all different kinds. Thank goodness for the bird book so that we knew [what] we were looking at -- gold finches, chickadees, loons, herons. Baby loons really fun to watch. We made great use of the canoe and explored almost the whole shoreline. Saw eagles closer than we have ever been to them. Had a couple rainy days but the wood stove made for very cozy time. Canasta was the game of the week. We will come again.

Most Relaxing Vacation My Family Has Ever Had

5 of 5
Submitted: July 31, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
As I wrote in the guest book, our stay in this cabin felt like a week long body massage. This well appointed cabin with very thoughtful little touches, is right on an outstandingly beautiful lake where the loons sing you to sleep every evening. The dock just below is perfect as a launching point for the canoe (provided), for fishing, or for a family swim. There is the little town of Longville, the turtle racing capital of the world, is about 6 miles away and has everything you need from bait shops to groceries to laundromat to ice cream shop. Kirk, the owner, is very well organized and communicative. My only hesitation in writing this review is that I don't want to have to compete with too many other travelers for a return trip to this Northwoods Minnesota paradise!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. Isn't Longville great!? It really does have it all and with a dose of charm to boot. We hope to have you back soon.
