WELCOME TO YOUR NORTHERN MINNESOTA GETAWAY

Some places just give you a place to sleep. Wenzel’s Woods gives you a place to make memories.

Tucked among nearly 25 wooded acres along the river, our cabin offers something that’s becoming harder to find—room to slow down, spread out and simply enjoy being together.

Start the morning with coffee on the deck while the rapids provide the soundtrack. Watch for deer wandering through the yard, listen to the birds, or let the kids head outside where there’s actually room to PLAY.

And when you're ready for town? Warroad is only 2 miles away, right on Lake of the Woods.

THE RIVERFRONT

The river isn't just something you'll see from the property—it becomes part of your stay.

Bring your coffee to the deck and listen to the rapids. Read a book by the water, walk the dogs, watch for wildlife or simply sit and enjoy the view.

In warmer months, guests have cooled off in the river, caught frogs with the kids and taken the paddleboat out for a leisurely ride. Winter brings an entirely different kind of beauty, when snow settles over the woods and the river becomes part of the Northwoods winter experience.

There is a designated area offering easier access to the river. Because this is a natural riverfront property, children and pets should always be supervised near the water.

ROOM TO PLAY—OR DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

One of the things our guests talk about most isn't inside the cabin. It's the SPACE outside it.

The huge yard gives families and groups room for badminton, croquet and outdoor games—or invent your own. Then venture across our 110-foot walking bridge to the other side of the property, where you’ll discover a tucked-away cement court with a basketball hoop waiting among the woods.

And don't forget your camera! The river, woods and grounds here have even been chosen as the backdrop for professional wedding-party and graduation photos.

Explore the property, walk the quiet country road, watch the fireflies come out, or gather around the fire pit at the end of the day.

Firewood is provided, so bring the marshmallows!

And because this is Northern Minnesota, we fog the property during the warmer months to help keep mosquitoes under control.

BRING THE FAMILY. BRING YOUR FRIENDS. BRING THE DOG!

Pets stay FREE.

We don't believe bringing your four-legged family members should add another fee to your vacation. Dogs have nearly 25 wooded acres of new smells to investigate, quiet roads for walks and plenty of outdoor time with their people.

Please supervise pets outdoors because of the river, elevated deck and natural surroundings.

A HOME BASE FOR LAKE OF THE WOODS

Coming north to fish? You'll be in good company.

Wenzel’s Woods has welcomed both open-water and ice-fishing groups, along with hockey families, golf groups, wedding guests, extended families and friends simply looking for time away together.

Spend the day on Lake of the Woods, then come home to a warm cabin, make dinner, put your feet up and finish the evening around the fire.

Parking is available for trucks and boat trailers. If your group will be bringing several large vehicles or trailers, please let us know after booking so we can help coordinate parking. Winter snow may make maneuvering multiple trucks and trailers more challenging.

COME INSIDE

The outdoors may be the star, but we want coming inside to feel pretty wonderful too.

The warm cedar interior and nature-inspired décor give the home an authentic Northern Minnesota cabin feel. The open kitchen, dining and living areas make it easy to cook together, play games, watch movies or simply catch up after a day outdoors.

The kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals, and the large dining table has room for more than dinner—it tends to become the gathering place for morning plans, evening games and conversations that last longer than expected.

Books and games for children and adults are provided, along with a selection of movies for family movie nights.

SPACE FOR EVERYONE TO SETTLE IN

Our sleeping areas work especially well for families and groups traveling together. Guests frequently mention the comfortable beds, and kids especially enjoy having the downstairs bunk room as a space of their own.

Please look through the photos and sleeping arrangements to make sure the layout is right for your group.

A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE GROWN-UPS, TOO

After fishing, hiking, golfing, skating or simply spending the day outdoors, slip into the private Jacuzzi tub and relax.

Sized for one—or cozy for two—you fill it with fresh, clean water for every use. Add your favorite bubble bath, turn on the jets and soak as long as you'd like. No shared hot-tub water here—just your own private soak whenever the mood strikes.

WHEN NORTHERN MINNESOTA GETS REALLY NORTHERN

Winter outside can reach the kind of temperatures Northern Minnesota is famous for—but inside, you'll be warm and cozy. Our wood-burning outdoor boiler keeps the cabin comfortably heated even through our bitter winter cold.

So come for ice fishing, hockey, snow-covered woods and frozen-river adventures. Then come home, kick off the boots and warm up.

COME TOGETHER. SLOW DOWN.

Wenzel’s Woods is for families, friends, fishermen, nature lovers and anyone who wants to slow down for a while.

It's not a party property. It's a place for morning coffee by the river, kids playing outside, dogs exploring, meals around the table, marshmallows around the fire and nights when the loudest thing you hear may be the river.

You can feel wonderfully removed from everything here—yet you're only 2 miles from Warroad.

Come to spend time with the people you love. Come for Lake of the Woods, family fishing trips and outdoor adventures. Come to reconnect across generations—or simply have time together without everything else competing for your attention.

Or come for no reason at all except to slow down, listen to the river and experience Northern Minnesota the way it was meant to be.
