Escape the city to a tranquil lakeside cabin at Lower Lake or Lake Minnetonka, snuggle up in a heated log cabin in Minnehaha Regional Park, or rent a two- or three-bedroom family cabin with a full kitchen and a firepit. Several Minnesota state parks lie within a short drive of the city, so you can also rent a camper cabin and admire the fall foliage at Afton State Park, take your boat or kayak to the rustic cabins at Wild River State Park, or cool off at the swimming beach at Mille Lacs Kathio State Park. For adventurers, white-water rafting and rock climbing are on the menu at Banning State Park, but book quickly to snag the single camper cabin.
