Table of Content

Minnesota cabins go together like peas and carrots. Luckily, Postcard Cabins (formerly known as Getaway House), have recently expanded with a new location in Willow River, Minnesota.

Just under two hours from Minneapolis, these tiny cabins are perfect for a weekend getaway. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and reconnected to nature!

 

Here are our top 5 reasons to book Minnesota’s new Postcard Cabins as soon as possible!

 

1. Less than 2 hours from Minneapolis

Minnesotans enjoy traveling up north to the cabins, but a 3-plus-hour drive there is usually required, which can make for a stressful start to the weekend.

Less than two hours from the Twin Cities and about 90 minutes from Minneapolis.

It’s simple to end your workday, travel north on Hwy 35, and have plenty of time to settle in for your first night.

 

2. A fully equipped cabin

Everything you need for a wonderful weekend getaway is provided in the cabins. Despite being small, they are very well organized. The cabins have a fully stocked kitchen, a place to store luggage, a shower and toilet, a dining table, an outdoor picnic table, a fire pit for cooking meals or roasting marshmallows, and a very comfortable queen bed.

There are additional provisions that are available for a small fee; they will just be added to your bill when you check out.

3. Tiny cabins, huge windows

Every bed is right next to a massive window that gives a full view of the natural world outside. I loved to simply relax in bed and take in the scenery.

Additionally, you can open the window at the foot of the bed to let in fresh outdoor scents as you unwind in bed.

 

4. Explore the top things to do during your Minnesota cabin getaway 

Banning State Park

Discover the many outdoor activities and cultural events available in the Kettle River region of Minnesota. 

Start your adventure at Banning State Park, which boasts hiking trails, fishing opportunities, and scenic picnic areas along the Kettle River. Another popular activity is kayaking or tubing down the river itself. 

Take a short drive to witness the stunning beauty of Wolf Creek Falls, complete with a picnic area. 

The historic Sandstone Quarry is a great place for people who are interested in history to go and learn about the area’s past. 

For a delicious meal and comfortable atmosphere, be sure to stop by the  Lazy Moose Grill & Coffee in Moose Lake. It is just one of many restaurants in the area. 

Additionally, the Pine City Pioneer Museum provides insight into the history and culture of the Pine City region. The Pine City Farmers Market and Art in the Park offer locally made, handcrafted goods for art and shopping enthusiasts. 

With so many options, visitors can truly experience the best of what the Kettle River region has to offer.
