Wild Ridge Cabin on Lower Cullen Lake, Nisswa. An idyllic family retreat awaits!

Welcome to Wild Ridge Cabin! Nestled among the trees on the north shores of Lower Cullen Lake, this authentic log cabin has everything you need to enjoy the iconic Nisswa area. Enjoy days spent on the private dock and beach while watching the abundant wildlife on one of the clearest lakes in the area!

The property has a main cabin with two bedrooms (one king, one queen) and a large open loft with sleeping accommodations for six guests (two full beds, two twins) as well as a camp-themed cozy play area for younger guests. The large, main floor bathroom has a glass walk in shower, double sink and heated tile floors.

Gather around the large gas fireplace in the living room after preparing your group a meal in the fully stocked kitchen, which has service for 12. The kitchen is equipped with a blender, two crockpots, a Nutri Bullet, two electric griddles, as well as ample serving platters and bowls for entertaining. Essentials like flour, sugar, salt and a variety of cooking spices are available. Enjoy premium coffee from the Mocca Master in the mornings and toast with cocktails from the mini bar in the evenings. The living room has a stocked game cabinet with all the favorites as well as a smart TV for those rainy days when lake time isn't an option.

All beds throughout the property have luxe bamboo sheets and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Multi-port chargers and satin eye masks are available bedside. The main cabin bedrooms have wide closets with pine dressers inside to allow for stowing and hanging clothes and belongings. Should laundry services be needed, there is a washer and dryer in the basement.
*Clothing steamer available upon request*

The detached bunkhouse has open sleeping/living accommodations for eight guests (four full sized bunk beds) and a large bathroom. A functional kitchenette provides service for 8 guests, including a Keurig coffee maker, full refrigerator, sink and microwave. There is a quaint living area with a smart TV, sofa and a stocked bookshelf for quieter times. Sip your morning coffee and plan your fishing route at the high-top table overlooking the lake.

The lower level of the bunkhouse has high top bar tables, table tennis and a variety of yard games at your disposal. There are multiple lake floats provided, including the popular Lily Pad float, as well as life jackets. Additional outdoor chairs and hammock available.

The lakeside deck has a large grill and dining seating for 8 as well as an additional outdoor lounge sectional for gathering and relaxing. Bistro lights are strung for al fresco meals in the evening before heading to the beach for 'smores around the smokeless fire pit. Sand toys are available for our younger guests!

Lower Cullen Lake is part of the Cullen Chain of Lakes, which include Middle and Upper Cullen. It has a public water access on the south side as well as a popular sandbar and sunken island. Great sunfish and bass fishing right off the dock and a nearby loon's nest provides ample options to both see and hear the majestic Minnesota state bird. If you're feeling adventurous take a canoe or kayak through the lake's narrow southern channel into Nisswa Lake, part of the Gull Lake Chain. In the winter months, the frozen lake provides a great track for groomed cross country skiing, snowshoeing and of course, ice fishing.

At the west end of the home’s private dirt road (1/4 mile) is the Paul Bunyan Trail, giving you access to miles of paved trail year round. Various mountain bikes (for both adults and children) are also available for use. The trail is groomed for snowmobiling in the winter months. Head 2 miles south into Nisswa for weekly turtle races, shopping, a stop at the park or one of the many family friendly dining options. Don’t forget your decadent treats at The Chocolate Ox or a glass of wine at Wine Down wine bar.

World class golf (The Preserve, The Classic at Madden’s, Cragun’s Legacy Courses, Deacon’s Lodge) are in close proximity to the property. Book yourself a spa day at Grandview's Glacial Waters Spa, only a 5-minute drive away.

Incredible!!!
Where do I begin? The cabin was absolutely stunning and was immaculate when we arrived. Every room was beautifully decorated. The space was perfect for our bachelorette weekend. 10 people can sleep in the main cabin, while another 4-8 could sleep in the bunkhouse. Everything we could think of needing was available to us. The views from the dock were amazing! We didn’t have a boat so we just grabbed towels, floaties and the lilypad and soaked in the sunshine. The owner was an absolute delight to work with. She was very responsive to all my questions and made sure we were cared for during our time at the cabin. The price per night was very reasonable especially when split among a group. My only caution is to be aware of the driveway. It is a pretty steep, gravel driveway so drivers should use caution going down and up the driveway. I would HIGHLY recommend this property for all your friend and family getaways. We are already talking about renting it next year for a girls weekend!

3 generation stay
We stayed at this property with my parents and siblings. We had a group of 15 of us ranging in age from 2-68. We had a wonderful stay. This is a very nice property that is exactly as described in the listing. We had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The cabin also has plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. Our kids enjoyed the paddle boat, ping pong table, yard games and water floats. There is a lot to keep you busy at the cabin or in the Nisswa area.
