- "This little hotel was amazing! No check-in fiasco it was all through an app. Lounge was a huge bonus so we didn't have to drive. Nice atmosphere & the staff were friendly. Food - YUM! The hotel itself was VERY quiet. Not a luxury hotel by any means, but we were only there to sleep & shower. Definitely recommend!" - "I can’t say enough about the otter! From the amazing staff, that goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Great gift shop, great restaurant inside the hotel clean and extremely comfy beds.

Enjoyed the wildlife and peaceful setting." - "Had a great time in a nice clean, nicely decorated home with all the amenities of home. Loved it" - "Had a great stay at the Osage property. The property manager - Troy - was very helpful during our arrival/check-in. Really roomy and comfortable home! The kitchen had everything we needed and the island is HUGE -- great for family meals and activities. The beds and linens were so comfortable. The only suggestion would be to include a small bedside lamp in each bedroom, along with a few nightlights.

- "A wonderful little spot to spend a few days getting away from the Georgia summer! Cabin sits in a grove of bur oaks along the Shell River. Incredibly quiet and peaceful. Only about 20 minutes to Itasca State Park and headwaters of the Mississippi—-a very pretty and relaxing spot! Can’t imagine a better trip. Only negative is we couldn’t stay longer. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 10." - "We stayed in Deana property for 3 nights while exploring Minnesota lake area.Perfect for couple.

Basswood Lodge at Cotton Lake—A Wonderful Birding Destination
Perched upon a breezy bluff with a birds-eye view across sparkling Cotton Lake Basswood Lodge is a perfect getaway for the birder, nature lover, or for anyone who might enjoy a few days of tranquility and a place to reconnect with oneself and the natural world.
Basswood Lodge is actually nothing more than a traditional Minnesota lake cabin, one of thousands sprinkled around the land of 10,000 lakes; this one as quaint and cozy as you might remember a lake cabin of days gone by. She’s tucked within the hillside to blend harmoniously with oak, maple, birch and of course basswood trees—a forest that provides shelter from the west wind and gracefully frames the lake view. If you enjoy birds and bird watching you will never tire of Basswood’s lake-side deck, eye-level with the forest canopy. Take your morning coffee outdoors, warmed by the morning sun, surrounded by beautiful nature. In fact, after a morning or two like this you may find yourself completely at home.
On the inside, Basswood is spare but complete and finely finished with lovely Douglas fir flooring; warm, reclaimed wood paneling and clear pine windows and doors. Offsetting the subdued tones of abundant wood features, paint colors such as “Morning Light” and “Crystalline” lend brightness to the ceilings and certain walls. Our main level consists of the kitchen, living room and dining area, and the adjacent master bedroom and bathroom. On warm nights it is pleasant to sleep with the French doors open to the screen porch, and wake to loons calling and the conversations of morning birds. A ship’s ladder leads guests to the loft which we’ve furnished with one full size bed, one twin bed and ample seating. The loft is a nice place to read on a stormy day. A feature window captures eagle-eye views across Cotton Lake to forested Shelley Island. Guests who take the loft accomodations will enjoy their own full bath as well.
There is a pleasant footpath down to our sand and gravel beach and the clean swimming water of Cotton Lake. Bass fishing is good right from shore, and better from the end of our 32’ dock. Bring your own boat for the best Cotton Lake has to offer. Public access is easy at the state access straight across from our cabin. Best of all the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge south boundary is one mile up the county road. The refuge offers some of the best birding in Minnesota and is wonderful for day hikes, road bikes and captivating scenery. It is a slice of Minnesota the way it used to be, complete with virtually all the wildlife and tree species we were blessed with, including two rare species—trumpeter swan and gray wolf.
Our family looks forward to enjoying the beauty and tranquility of Cotton Lake for years to come. We would love to share our delightful lake cabin with like-minded and appreciative guests.

As a word of caution, Basswood Lodge is situated on a bluff overlooking Cotton Lake. The lake path is not long but just a little steep. The walkway to the cabin’s main level is also upward, along a stone pathway, and a short stair step. In other words, the cabin may not be entirely suitable for the elderly, infirm or disabled guests. On the other hand, Basswood Lodge is entirely suitable for children and adults in reasonably good shape. And as a side benefit, the hike to and from the lake will get your heart warmed up and pumping, so when you have to leave for home, you’ll go in better shape than when you arrived.

- "We tremendously enjoyed our stay at Basswood lodge, we found the cabin to be exactly like what was stated in the listing amenities. The view of the lake and the shoreline access from the dock was very pleasant, we enjoyed the back deck listening to the serenading of the loons to our morning coffee." - "We love the location on Cotton Lake where we love using our kayaks and inner tubes. Good walking trails and hike to and from lake is a good cardio hike. Watched the baby bird grow but unfortunately she fell out of nest but somehow in the night she flew away. Leo has a good book & game collection of which we added 2 books. Screened in porch perfect placed to play cards and other games. So helpful to have washer & dryer. New fan help on during hot days. Friends & family nearby. Delightful to observe eagles. Leo is always available if an issue arises which didn’t happen this year. Our favorite places to vacation on Cotton Lake. Thank you Leo!"

- "What an amazing last-minute-getaway we stumbled upon. To say this was like something out of a dream is an understatement! All my life I have dreamed of a spot like this for a vacation. Not a resort, just me and my people, a quiet lake, a hilltop view, rustic, and set in a simpler time…I could not be more happy. Debra and Pamela have left nothing out in this little piece of paradise. Pizza cutter? Check. Air pump? Check. Coffee? Check. Laundry detergent and dryer balls? Check. Marshmallow roasting sticks? Check. Every last detail was perfect. We fished, swam, boated, read, canoed, and relaxed. The porch was the perfect place for meals, reading, s’mores, and sunsets. The windows overlooking the cabin give the perfect view of probably the best fishing lake we’ve ever been on. The topography of the surrounding area is gorgeous! You feel like you’re more up North than you are and it’s just lovely! We availed ourselves to the Maple Beach Burgers on our last day and are happy to have made the short trip over. We used the state park boat ramp. It was a little further than the public launch, but was better for our boat. Every detail of the cabin has been thoughtfully considered and Debra and Pamela were the best hosts. Without a doubt, we WILL be back!"
