Carlson’s is a family-run retreat that has hosted generations of lake vacationers and fishers since the 1930s. We offer rustic, well-appointed cabins, a sandy beachfront and safe swimming area, sunset views, and some of the best fishing in the state. We’re 3-4 hours hours north of the Twin Cities, within easy reach of golf courses, restaurants, nature reserves, and the shopping and cultural offerings of nearby Walker and Longville. (Turtle races, anyone?)

Staying at Carlson’s is more like staying at a friend's cabin. We don't maintain a full-time staff, but do keep the cabins and the grounds in tip-top shape, and someone’s always in reach to answer questions. With only four cabins, it’s a great place to come with friends and family and take over the whole place. Over half of our rentals come from groups, many of whom have been returning each summer to our spot of Minnesota Lake Country for decades.
