Located in the heart of Federal Dam, we may not be on the water but we are conveniently located just three blocks away from the iconic Federal Dam and Leech Lake Rec area where you can fish from shore or take your own boat out on Leech Lake or the Leech River. Many other fishing spots in reasonable distances. We are also just blocks away (walking distance) from the Soo Line Trail north, a 150 mile ATV trail that's great for hiking, biking, or bringing your ATV's.
We have two rental cabins on the property as well as a Gift Shop and Bait Shop.

Each cabin is identical in layout and can sleep up to four guests, with a queen bed in the bedroom, twin bed in the main living area, couch in the living room that folds into a full bed, kitchen table with chairs, and a full kitchen. The bathroom has a full shower stall.
We have pots/pans, silverware, dishes, cooking utensils, toaster, and 5 cup coffee maker with filters in the kitchen. Hair dryer in the bathroom
Smart TV's in the living rooms.
Check in at the Gift Shop between 3 - 7 pm (If later check in, just contact us to arrange it,) Check Out is 10 am.
We allow pets in the cabins with pet fee, but they must remain leashed, picked up after, and not be left alone in the cabins or tied up outside unsupervised.

Newly remodeled cabin, perfect for 2 people. Smart layout and good use of space in the footprint. Had everything we needed in kitchen and bath. Great spot we used as a landing pad and took other side trips from there. Owner very easy to work with and super nice!

Great getaway
The cabins are great places to stay. Clean with unique decore. We had everything we needed. It is a small cabin that works great for a small family or couple. The manager was very helpful and friendly. She referred us to great services (boat rental, etc).

Amazing getaway
We truly enjoyed our stay at Dam Cabins. Tiffany was an amazing host. The cabin was as described, nicely updated, clean and comfortable. We didn’t have any issues with anything. Not even any flies or mosquitoes in the cabin. It was a nice and quiet getaway without all of the noise of lots of other guests. Peaceful. Our dog had a blast hanging out by the fire and playing in the yard. We will definitely be back!

cozy stay
Perfect cozy cabin that is pet friendly if you need a place to stay close to the big lakes. Not much to do in the immediate area, but worked perfect for me to drive to Winnie to fish or Leech lake. Great updated cabin for the single person.

Quick 1 night stay
Everything was every clean and well kept. The advertisement for ice cream was very misleading for it to only be frozen ice cream sandwiches. We enjoyed our stay for what we needed it for.
