Get Away From It All When You Visit Woman Lake, Minnesota

There's nothing like a weekend Up North in the Land of 10,000 Lakes - any time of year. Whether you want to get out on the water and enjoy the summer, gaze at the blazing golden fall foliage, drop a line through your own patch of ice, or race to your lucky spot when walleye season opens, we always find something to do in our state's gorgeous North Country. So, why not pack the car for a weekend of Up North adventuring, and make your way to one of the premier recreational regions in the Bold North for some time on the water, in the woods, or on the ice. Then settle in for the night at the best cabin rental on Woman Lake, Minnesota (I think it's probably one of the best cabin rentals in the state, in fact).

You're going to start your Up North adventure with a stop in the hometown of Paul Bunyan's sweetheart, Lucette.

The charming town of Hackensack, Minnesota has a ton to offer, including intriguing sights, great food, and friendly people. Take your time and enjoy Hackensack before you head to your next stop.

After Hackensack, you'll venture over to the neighboring community of Longville.

One of the quirkiest towns in Minnesota, you'll find no shortage of things to explore here. If you're in town on a summer Wednesday, be sure to plan to attend one of the community's famous weekly turtle races.

After you've had your fill of adventures, head over to your nearby accommodations for the night or weekend.

The three-bedroom, one bathroom Overholser Cabin sits directly on the shore of Woman Lake.

In addition to incredible outdoor spaces, including a deck, a porch, and a dock (with available boat rental if you don't bring your own), this cabin is beautifully appointed on the inside as well.

Enjoy the fireplace and stunning lake views.

Or step outside with your favorite beverage and enjoy the sunset before you refuel for the rest of your Up North getaway.

The next day, relax around the cabin and enjoy lakefront living, or head out on Woman Lake and see if you can reel in a trophy.

I just don't think you can do much better than a weekend on one of the best lakes for fishing, boating, paddling - or simply kicking back and relaxing - in the state. The Woman Lake cabin rental I mentioned is pretty popular, so be sure to visit its VRBO listing and book well in advance of your weekend getaway.
