Cabin vacation rentals in Prior Lake

We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely return to Beth’s cabin. It’s hard to believe such an incredible lake experience is just about an hour from the Twin Cities. The cabin, while cozy and charming, had everything we needed. The backyard setup offered a stunning view of the lake and made for the perfect evening meals and hot tubbing. Just a small note for future guests: if privacy is a top priority, it’s good to know that one bedroom has a curtain and the other has a sliding barn-style door. It didn’t affect our stay, but something to keep in mind depending on your group.

A very nice place to stay for a weekend in Stillwater. The log cabin house is homey with wonderful views of Bass Lake. Robert meet us when we got there and went through the house and answered all of our questions. Would definitely stay there again.

It was a beautiful and relaxing time!

Beautiful cabin feel - walk ability to the river and local state park along with a fun bar down the road. Nice peaceful wooded backyard. Would stay again!

Chris’ place was just as described. Beautiful views, clean, and sharp kitchen knives were a lovely bonus! Like some others have said I would prefer blinds or curtains in the front living room for a bit of added privacy.

Great location not to far from the twin cities. It was great that there were kayaks and a canoe there for us to use free of charge. Also, there were instructions for using all of the necessities in the home, like the hot tub, fireplace, etc. Thanks for a great, relaxing weekend!

Very much enjoyed our stay at The Malbec! It's close enough to town to go do things during the day, and far enough out to feel like you're relaxing in the country. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable!

We had a great stay. The cabin was clean, easy to find and the views/property are beautiful! Nice neighbors in what seems like a great lake/cabin community ! The owner was very responsive, flexible and kind. We would definitely recommend.

This lake house was great! Right on the water. Beautiful view. It is way out in the country and very quiet. We enjoyed sitting by the fire at night overlooking the water. The house was perfect for our family as we needed three beds, so we were able to use the two rooms and the pull out couch. Everything was very clean. Peggy was great about communicating with us and making sure we knew exactly how to get there and find our way in. Overall would recommend staying here!

I needed a place to be alone and rest in a quiet and peaceful place. I am a stressed out caregiver and needed some respite. I wanted to be on a lake to look out at and sit by. I found the perfect place! Erika was a wonderful host who had some nice touches to make me feel welcome. I loved the feeling of being in a cabin on a lake but so close to the metro! I had beautiful sunsets! I’d love to return with my grandkids in the summer. There are so many water toys to play on the lake!

5 Stars – Peaceful, Perfect, and Exceptionally Hosted We booked Maria’s cabin last minute due to unexpected home construction, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us—including helping extend our stay without hesitation. The cabin is peaceful, clean, and perfectly located. We spent our days relaxing on the deck overlooking the lake, enjoying quiet mornings and stunning sunsets. Maria even let us use their pontoon, which made for incredible days of fishing and swimming. We caught big sunfish nearly every cast right from the dock and had an amazing fish fry! Maria’s flexibility, kindness, and thoughtful hospitality made a stressful time feel like a mini-vacation. Highly recommend this spot for anyone needing a break from the chaos of everyday life.

We had such a wonderful time! We drove all the way from Texas for my daughter’s baby shower, and this cabin was the perfect place for our family to gather, relax, and celebrate. It truly felt like a blessing! We loved all the little touches that came in handy—things we didn’t even know we’d need but were so thankful to find. One of our favorite memories was making s’mores together under the stars and enjoying the peaceful lake on the kayaks. So much fun and laughter! It was the perfect family getaway, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again. Thank you, Timothy and Heidi, for making our stay so special!

Spacious home large enough for the whole extended family with all the amenities of home. The house was situated on a sizable lot adjacent to Mink Lake, which was beautiful and also so nice to view right from the dock.

Leisa was a fantastic host! The cabin was extremely clean, and included everything you need to feel right at home. The location was fantastic - peaceful and private. I’m positive this hidden gem won’t be so hidden for long. Easily one of the most memorable vacations for me. Highly recommend!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Gage and Natasha are wonderful hosts. Cabin was very cozy with wonderful views of Shield's Lake. Perfect place to have an outdoor fire. Lots of trails to walk. Definitely would stay again!

Great getaway, our family truly enjoyed our stay, place was a real value for the experience THANK YOU KRISTINA

We loved this cottage and being close to the peaceful lake. It was so well made and great design. Every space was comfortable and well thought out. Comfy beds. Beautiful views of the lake out all the windows and lovely sunsets. We grabbed meats from the butcher in town and grilled and also ate in town one evening. This one's a winner!

Beautiful place, very clean and comfortable.

AMAZING cabin. We had a family get away for a couple nights and didn’t want to leave! Great running trails, fishing, comfortable and beautiful home. The fall colors were breathtaking. Tricia was a great host! We really hope that we can come back soon!

We had a fantastic stay at Mink Lake. The home was well furnished and decorated... clearly loved and that made it both comfortable and a great space to hang out in. the deck and yard were amazing bird watching spots... bring your binoculars! Lots of games supplied as well. Location was close to restaurants and grocery stores and the kitchen was set up for cooking. Owners were responsive and generous when we reached out about a minor issue and we were so appreciative of the way they handled the situation. Lots of nearby options for hiking and enjoying nature. We had a truly splendid stay and would definitely recommend!

Myself, my mother and my three children stayed for 6 nights at Sally’s place. We loved our stay. We were a short drive to Nickelodeon Universe, but most importantly the lake views were just as wonderful as I had imagined. We ate breakfast every morning on the patio overlooking the lake. My children loved swimming in the lake off the little sandy beach area. Sally took my three children for a ride in the paddle boat and they loved it. My children loved talking with Sally. Don’t miss out on the relaxing scenery.

My co-worker and I enjoyed the stay at the cabin. It was perfect! Made the work trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable. David was responsive when messages were sent. If ever a need to be in MN for work, this is where we will stay 100%.

This was a fabulous place to stay - just the right size for two, and very cozy - while friends did their own rustic cabin camping in nearby William O'Brien! A side-channel of the St. Croix River is just out the door, with a short hiking trail through the nearby woods, and birds singing their spring songs. It was just what we needed for a quiet respite.
