Minnesota is a haven for those who love lakeside lounging. With our more than 10,000 lakes, it’s not hard to find a great place to stay. It’s slightly more difficult, however, to find a private island. We may fantasize about owning our own island getaway, but few of us will ever achieve that lofty dream. Though, we can come close. There’s a private island cabin in Minnesota that you can rent by the night, and it’ll be a dream come true.

Those who want to get away can book a stay at a private island in northern Minnesota. Known as Boogenhagen Island, this beautiful retreat is operated as an Airbnb.

The one-acre island is a short distance from Grey Wolf Lodge. It is here that guests will park their cars and launch their boats into Pelican Lake.

The dock at Boogenhagen is the perfect spot to park a boat or two. It would also make a peaceful place to cast a line, do some reflecting, or just take in the scenery.
