Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Jennifer Schroeder
In today’s fast-moving world, it became my mission to create a place where families could slow down, reconnect, and build lasting, meaningful memories—the kind that linger long after the holiday ends.
Some of my most treasured childhood moments were spent at the lake. We stayed in Cabin Number 8, part of a resort that, sadly, no longer exists. Those simple, joy-filled days became a core memory for me—and when my father passed away, I felt an even deeper pull to do something that honoured those moments and created space for others to experience the same.
That’s how Cabin 8 Retreats was born.
Today, we’re the proud caretakers of three cabins that offer families and friends a chance to truly escape the everyday. These cabins aren’t just places to stay—they’re places to be. To laugh a little louder. To stay up a little later. To sit by the lake and remember what really matters.
Cabin 8 Retreats is our way of giving back—a tribute to the past, and a place where new memories are made, shaping stories for generations to come.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
We’re proud to share our three cabins—collectively known as Cabin 8 Retreats—tucked along the peaceful shores of Big Portage Lake. This is where you come to hit pause. No packed schedules, no background noise—just space to slow down, breathe, and recharge.
Big Portage Lake is part of a stunning chain of lakes offering over 1,000 acres of water to explore. Much of the surrounding land is protected by the Deep Portage Reserve, keeping the landscape beautifully untouched and teeming with natural beauty. Whether you’re on the water or relaxing at the cabin, you’re surrounded by the kind of stillness that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Our cabins are located in Backus, Minnesota, just minutes from charming small-town restaurants and a local grocery store—handy for the essentials without interrupting the tranquillity. And if you’re after more variety, you're only about 30 minutes from larger towns like Walker or Brainerd, where you’ll find everything from big-name shops to new family adventures.
We chose this spot because it’s exactly what an “Up North escape” should be—peaceful, authentic, and close to nature—while still offering the convenience to dip into town when needed. It’s the kind of place that feels far away, without actually being far at all.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
Originally the grand lodge of a historic lakeside resort, this spacious gem has been lovingly reimagined as the heart of Cabin 8 Retreats—and its size, character, and lakefront access are truly unmatched. You cannot find a gem like this anywhere else! This amount of square footage so close to the lake is simply unheard of! Added on to this, we have added drops of fun and comfort everywhere you look!
Our goal is to make sure everyone feels included and entertained. Enjoy a yoga area bathed in natural light, a playful kids’ room stocked with toys, and even a quiet workspace for those who need to check in between adventures. Outside, the community pole barn is a hit with guests of all ages—equipped with games, space to hang out, and plenty of room to make a little joyful noise.
Whether you're watching the sun set from the deck, playing board games late into the night, or just catching up around the fire, this is a place designed to bring people together.
