“A beautiful little gem of a cabin on a gorgeous lake”, is the first thing we thought upon our arrival at Settle Inn on Duck Lake! Dana and Barbara are gracious hosts and really know how to give vacationers a lot return on their R&R dollar. Our family spent two weeks snuggled away in the cabin, I say snuggled because weather wise snuggling was one of the things we did in the never ending rain we endured during our stay. The few times we were on the lake though, wow incredible. Great lake for water sports and combined with what is Duck Lakes BEST beach located less than 70’ from the cabins front entrance an awesome swimming lake. The best part of the beach, its private and all yours! Children will love to run of the dock and jump into the lake.
Now if I was going to chose a place to stay and get rained on consistently, this cabin would be in the uppermost part of my list. Dana and Barbara have appointed this home in a tasteful and functional manner. We would start each day off with grinding fresh coffee beans in the provided grinder and sit on the deck and get lost staring at the lake. Then, when the rain would start we would go inside and turn on the satellite and catch up with the news or the latest garbage talk on Jerry Springer. The abundant reading material and board games in the cabin meant that even the weather would not tarnish this vacation. Sleeping arrangements were also wonderful with great mattresses and splendid cool nights. You simply cannot go wrong when you and your family settle in on Duck Lake! Thanks again Dana and Barbara, we will be back!

| We had a wonderful week on Duck Lake. The weather was the best we've had all summer and we were blessed to spend it here. The cabin had everything we needed.It is so darling!I must also say the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets each night and the best star gazing ever ~ seeing at least 40 shooting stars. We also enjoyed watching the birds in the birdfeeders as well as the squirrels and the chimpmonks. Dana and Barb we thank you for sharing your cabin with us and make our stay so enjoyable! |

My family and I have just returned from Duck Lake
which has been described, "as our best vacation
yet" by our eight year old (a child who has been on
Safari in Africa)--we would have to agree. The
accommodations were luxurious for a week in the
woods with all the modern conveniences for those
of us who aren't into "roughing it". The views and
surroundings are beautiful and relaxing -- the
water laps against the shore in the evenings while
the loons call from across the lake. There is quiet
seclusion one would never get from a public resort
while not being remote or isolated. Located 15
minutes from Park Rapids there are plenty of local
restaurants, shops and groceries before the
calming drive through Minnesota's lush landscape
back to a lakeside haven. Aside from retrieving
necessities it is hard pressed to find a reason to
leave such an environment. You certainly don't want
to miss the sunsets! The owners have done a
wonderful job in creating a beautiful and relaxed
accommodation which is very family friendly. We
will be returning to Duck Lake with plans to bring
our dog who will enjoy the surroundings as much
as we did! Unlike so many vacations which can
become harried, our relaxing vacation at Duck Lake
has lingered with us after our return. We cannot say
enough about what a great week we have had.... |

| We just returned from a perfect weekend on Duck Lake! The cabin has a wonderful family friendly layout and is beautifully decorated! The sandy beach is perfect for kids and adults alike! And if our dogs could type they would tell you how much fun THEY had! The property is super pet friendly! Our dinner practically cooked itself in the gorgeous kitchen and clean up was a snap with the dishwasher! Our weekend was simply luxurious! The owners have done a fantastic job of combining modern convenience with rustic charm. From the movie/game selection to the washer and dryer no detail was forgotten. We even enjoyed the comfy beds! We are already planning our next trip! |
