If you like lakes, Minnesota's got them—over 10,000 of them, in fact. While Lake Superior is a big draw, you'll find plenty of tinier lakes across the state, ideal for swimming, boating, fishing, or just staring out over the waters from your lakeside cottage. Minnesota has four distinct seasons, making a cabin stay an attractive option year-round, whether you want a warm place to cozy up after a day of playing in the snow outside Minneapolis, Duluth, or St. Paul, or need a comfortable spot to clean up after lake swimming. Water activities are Minnesota’s biggest draw—from the islands of Voyageurs National Park near the Canadian border to the waters of the Mississippi River in the southeastern part of the state, and some of the best cabins and vacation rentals offer kayak rentals, wifi, hot tubs, and more. There’s plenty to do on land, too, from traipsing the length of Lake Superior on the 310-mile-long Superior Hiking Trail to bison-viewing in Blue Mounds State Park.
