3 Bedroom Cottage in Ranier

This rustic cottage right on the shore of Rainy Lake in the village of Ranier is the perfect basecamp for exploring the natural wonders of Northern Minnesota and Voyageur's National Park—or just kicking back, unplugging and hanging out with the locals.
In the Davis family for more than 100 years (the original homestead was built in 1910), this waterfront cabin has been completely renovated and updated with the original Western red cedar paneling, new bathroom, entryway and kitchen, and new windows throughout. A deck that opens off the porch will be your new favorite spot for catching spectacular Sand Bay sunsets from spring to fall. A wide lawn runs down to the breakwater, where you can swim in the cold, clear water of the Rainy, enjoy an outdoor meal on the picnic table, or sit around the fire pit right on the shoreline.
The Davis House is a great place to relax and spend time with your family, fish the Rainy (NO DOCK ON THE PROPERTY, but there are several public boat-launching ramps nearby, snowmobile (there's a groomed trail just one block away that you can sled to right from the house) or rent long-term for local area work.
Kids love the nearby beach, swimming off the breakwater and exploring the shoreline. An Alumacraft canoe, paddles, life-preservers and other water toys are yours to use at the house, as well as a picnic table, garage (perfect for our winter guests), two vintage Schwinns and almost anything else you'll need to enjoy your stay in the Rainy Lake Country.
The friendly municipal liquor store (the Ranier Muni) is just a three-block walk away. There's an ice cream parlor just down the shoreline at Tara's Wharf, along with fresh-brewed beer at Loony's Brew, a public boat-launch ramp on the river side of Ranier, the new Cantilever Distillery with hipster bar and restaurant right across the street, and the constant activity of the Canadian National Railway.
The entire expanse of Rainy Lake—with its thousands of islands, Voyageur's National Park, renowned walleye and bass fishing—is right outside your door. And if you just want solitude or a quiet place to write your memoirs, Ranier has long been a haven for writers and painters and artists of every kind— not to mention the occasional gin-runner.

Summary: The Davis Home was perfect for our family. It was in walking distance to an ice-cream shop, bar and restaurant. The home is unique and cozy with all the needed amenities and more. There is a sand beach next door and a great boat put in walking distance to the house. We hope to return again.

Summary: This cottage is in the perfect location. We did a lot of fishing, had ice cream down the road at Tara's, the kids went swimming and we were able to go into Canada to have dinner one night. Great hosts and communication from them was great. The cottage had everything we needed. We would recommend this cottage and would love to come back again!

Summary: Perfect base point location to enjoy the area. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance. The lake is in the backyard and this is a great area for road biking. The house is well insulated, you can barely hear the train from inside the house. Everything was exactly as described, no surprises.

Summary: Great location and the house has a neat throwback feel. Beautiful views and proximity to many locations at Voyageurs and beyond. Would definitely book again. Only drawback was bathroom location (must pass through one bedroom to access).

Summary: The view of the lake from the living room is amazing. It was so nice being right on the lake. Our daughter enjoyed swimming in the lake as it was just a few steps into a sandy bottom. The town of Ranier was a short walk while still being private. We loved grabbing ice cream at Tara’s and dinner at the distillery. The house was more spacious than we expected and we were able to make the weird bathroom work for us. It was nothing fancy but very functional and everything we needed, including the Hamms!! If we are back in the area, we will definitely stay here again!
