Private island cabin with ALL the amenities!

Welcome to Aspen Island! Located on beautiful Big Birch Lake in Grey Eagle, MN. Our cabin has recently been updated to give you the best experience year around while enjoying the beauty of being on your own private island.

Conveniently located only 100 miles from the Twin Cities. The interior features a comfortable gathering area, remodeled bathroom, and running water. The exterior features plenty of outdoor space to be immersed in nature and take in the beautiful scenery & sunset views.
The space
Aspen Island is about 5 acres and is conveniently located on Big Birch Lake. The cabin is roughly 750 square feet, but offers enough space to enjoy the beautiful views. Perfect for a couple getaway, small family vacation, or a solo trip. Or, if you’re the camping type….bring tents and entertain a large group on the island!

As you enter the warm, fully furnished cabin you'll feel right at home. The living room has an opening to the patio that offers the perfect space to witness amazing views while you share memories with your friends and family. There are 2 bedrooms total and the cabin has been updated from top to bottom with our newest additions including: indoor plumbing, fully functional kitchen, and fully functional bathroom.

The kitchen is stocked with all the basics: cups, plates, bowls, and silverware. There is a toaster and small coffee maker.

As you walk outside you’ll be able to witness bald eagles perched in the treetops, loons calling, and listen to the serene water sounds as you are fully surrounded by the beautiful Big Birch Lake. On the beach you'll find a sitting area with chairs situated next to the waterfront. There are beach toys, a hammock, a fire pit, and a set of kayaks that our guests can enjoy.

For those enjoying grilling, a gas grill is also offered.

There is a restaurant, Historic Rock Tavern, located on the lake and is perfect to grab dinner and a drink, if you so choose.

Upon booking, detailed info will be sent out regarding what to pack and how to get there. This is an island and you will need to bring your own boat OR rent one to access the island.

NOTE:
There was a storm that hit the island and knocked over many trees. We are working on getting that cleaned up; however,, it has shown to be a long process (as one can imagine the island being logistically challenging). Please bare with us as we work on getting that taken care of. Please don't let that take away from your amazing stay on the island. We have 5 acres of beautiful land, which is plenty to enjoy!

BOAT RENTAL:
If you would like to rent a pontoon, there are many rental spots around. I would recommend doing a little search to get the perfect fit and ensure that they have availability when you are staying. If you would like some ideas, please feel free to reach out.

SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS:
The cabin features 2 bedrooms. One with a bunk bed (single over double) and the other with a single queen size bed. Guests are welcome to bring tents and set them up outside if more space is needed.
Guest access
Guests will have full private access to the cabin. Guests will access the cabin via a lockbox.

Awesome Cabin!!!

This is a true gem. Old but updated cabin so you get the best of both worlds. The kids had a blast and this was awesome to have family members out for a day without houses and people right next to you. Storm came through...a bog was floating towards the island. The kids thought that was pretty cool. We will definately be back!

Island living

Sweet cabin and island that fit our small family nieces and nephews comfortably. The beach was nice, and the water perfect for fishing and swimming. We were disappointed by the sandbar boats that piled up from 1-6 in the afternoon. Many boats brought loud music and awful language. Some boats brought very sweet families. Either way, it was a surprise to share our sweet little island and beach with so many partiers. At one point 15 boats and pontoons were parked in front of the beach. Boaters let their dogs up to go to the bathroom on the island and many boaters stayed until supper time. The owners were excellent to work with and very responsive.

Wonderful Island Getaway

Simply wonderful. The memories made here will last our family a lifetime. Everything you need all in one beautiful place. Very clean, had everything you need for a getaway plus included extras. Our kids loved the kayaks and the sandbar near the island gives a great place to enjoy the water. Fishing was great! Great communication with owner, they are very sweet and helpful. Great experience!
