The Storied Cabin: Curl Up with a Book, Dream Up Something Big
Tucked deep into 60 acres of whispering Minnesota woods, The Storied Cabin is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to get wonderfully lost. Whether you're working on a story, escaping into someone else's, or simply craving peace and pages, this is your quiet forest getaway.
Welcome to Cabin 5 at Wambolts: a reader’s nook, a writer’s retreat, and a gentle reminder that slowing down can spark something new.
This isn’t just any cabin. Cabin 5 has a vibe. It’s where ideas stretch their legs, inspiration flows with the breeze, and loons provide surprisingly solid emotional support.
Make it stand out
📚 Designed for the Bookish at Heart
The Storied Cabin was made for people who carry books in their bags and ideas in their heads. Inside, you’ll find:
A comfy queen bed perfect for sprawling out with a paperback (or three)
A compact kitchen for fueling your reading/writing marathons
A ½ bath plus extra bathrooms with showers nearby for convenience
Blazing-fast fiber WiFi — stay as connected (or disconnected) as you like
But the real magic is in the details:
🖋 A writing desk that welcomes both notebooks and novels
📖 Shelves curated with Minnesota authors and creativity classics
🪟 A screened-in porch where the loons sing while you turn pages
🌲 Outside the Page, Adventure Awaits
Take your imagination for a walk on our hiking trails, paddle through a lake morning in a kayak or canoe, or just sit on the screened-in porch and let the loons do the talking.
