Tree house, tiny home, shipping container, luxury hotel - the Forest Container is a bit of each of these things. Set in a lush forest valley, this is an incredible and unique place to stay. The property is within the Cuyuna mountain bike area, between the Yawkey and the Cruser's Kettle trailheads. There is a fire ring as well as a great deck upon which you can camp or otherwise relax and enjoy the view of the forested valley. The container is heated and cooled, and the container has a luxurious warm tiled shower, sink, toilet (cassette style), power and of course, as pictured, a beautiful small bedroom and living room. Coffee machine and mini fridge included on the deck.
Note to guests, if the cassette toilet develops a smell, pour 16 oz of water into the urine catch once at a time a few times and it will purge the system and eliminate it. A change of the bag, naturally, is the other method of odor reduction. It works great as long as one is mindful of it. 👍🏼

The cabin is nestled on 180 acres of beautiful rolling hills and is home to a variety of wildlife, including beavers, sandhill cranes, swans, loons, coyotes, deer, and wild turkeys.
During the summer months, cows also graze in the adjoining pasture.

Mike and Loellen discovered Ruttger’s Camping Resort in the winter of 2005 while driving around the area and scanning websites for trailers. We bought a trailer on a seasonal site and have thoroughly enjoyed our summers here ever since! Our sons grew up on the lake, boating and fishing and exploring the area and we have developed a wonderful lake-family. We have watched Bill and Candy Ruttger build the resort into the beautiful property that it is today and feel privileged to have the opportunity to now share it with you. Under our new ownership and with a new name, Sunset Pines MN in January 2023, we are eager to carry on the legacy created by our friends and mentors. We welcome you to enjoy our piece of “Up North” Minnesota lake-life with your family and friends, and don’t forget to enjoy a sunset or two! Mike & Loellen

Cozy Woman Lake Woodland Cabin
15. Cozy Woman Lake Woodland Cabin
45mi from Crow Wing State Park · 1 site
Cozy, minimalist-style cabin on 24 beautiful acres with unique peninsula frontage on Woman Lake. Enjoy all the comforts of modern amenities surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Snuggle up in the great room next to the warmth of the wood-burning stove, relax on the spacious deck or around a campfire, and explore the wildlife, trails, lakeshore, and the waters of Woman Lake. Great for families, small groups, and people who love to fish. There's plenty of space for your boat and endless lakes in the area to explore!
The cabin is nestled in the woods on a ridge among a grove of older pines, away from the lakeshore. Take a short hike down the ridge to reach the shore and enjoy a private peninsula in Woman Lake's Hunters Bay. The west side of the bay is teeming with wildlife. Enjoy the resident bald eagle pair nesting in the neighbor's pine, as well as a nearby beaver lodge and loon's nest. Much of the property to the west is bordered by state land, perfect for privacy, nature hikes, and hunting.
The cabin features neutral colors, pine ceilings, minimal décor, excellent use of space, and abundant windows, so you can enjoy plenty of natural light and views of the surrounding woods. The great room includes comfortable leather furniture, a dining table, a 75-inch Smart TV with a PS4, and a cozy wood stove. The thoughtfully designed galley kitchen has all the essentials and a large pantry.
There's also a breakfast nook and work area with an additional dining table and chairs. The main-level bedroom has a queen bed and plenty of closet space. The loft features two queen beds and one single bed. The bathroom includes a shower and a heater/exhaust fan. A washer and dryer are also provided.
Other things to note:
The lakeshore is beautiful, but it requires a short walk along the gravel road followed by a short hike down to the water, where you'll find metal chairs and a dock. The dock is very basic but functional, and a boat can be tied to it. Aquatic plants become more abundant in the water later in the summer. The dock is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
We are continuing to improve the lakeshore by finishing steps down the slope and hope to add a longer dock in the future. Please reach out with any questions.

Thank goodness we had good company. The weather was to cold to get in the lake but the guys enjoyed fishing from the kyacks. The fire pit saved the days for us girls. Next time we will go later in the year to enjoy all that this property has to offer. Beautiful and Peaceful. The swans and the beavers were fun to watch. The loons were truly amazing to listen to. It was just so cold. Mother nature decided that. I can only imagine how much more it has to offer on warm sunny days. Next time we WILL go later in the year. We still had an amazing time with the best of friends. Just down the road, Pickle Loon saloon was a great place to dine on all you can eat fish Mondays. And FYI, the beds are full size (3) and a trundle. Bathroom was spacious with an amazing shower. We never saw another person the whole time we were there. Not even on the lake. Its just a beautiful piece of land and property. And ohhhh..I saw the biggest doe that I have ever laid eyes on. Nature at its finest. Thank you Bob for allowing us this opportunity. ❤️

This was the perfect quiet getaway cabin for our family. Nice and secluded cabin with access to the water! Fantastic cozy backyard area with firepit. The cabin itself worked great for us; open concept allowed for more family interaction, and then also able to shut the door and allow the early risers to make coffee and take showers while the teenagers get to sleep in a bit and not be disturbed.
The cabin was a great blend of authentic rustic “cabin feel” along with some luxuries (A/C if needed, nice new addition with nice shower, laundry, etc…). Take the time to try the spring water down the road! The loons provided great company. Our golden retriever enjoyed the layout as well. It worked real well for having a dog. Great rental!

Absolutely incredible property! Such a privilege to get to stay at Bob’s place. The cabin and setting are truly heavenly. We saw one boat the entire week. Beavers, owls, herons, muskrats, birds of many species. It is so well set up for outdoor cooking & eating. The beach and kayaks made the lake feel so accessible and enjoyable. The condition of the cabin is so wonderfully preserved and the new bathroom is such a perk. Can’t wait to go back!

The A frame was so fun to be in! I loved the concept of opening up the side and having the dogs relax and be able to go in and out when they wanted! The river right next to the site was peaceful, so many birds for bird watching and not too many mosquitoes when we went (although ticks loved our dogs). The owners let us try some of their wine and got to meet the other campers which was super fun and had a lot of laughs! Go meet Carl and his family, they are so wonderful. It’s right next to Rum River State Forest and not too far from Lake Mille Lacs. Great stay! Would come back :)
