Hunting Stays
Hunting Stays — A Warm Cabin in the Woods
Fall is hunting season around here, and it's a good time to be in these woods.
We're surrounded by the kind of closed-in north woods a lot of hunters are looking for — this is White Earth Forest country, not open prairie. Folks stay with us for grouse, duck, and deer season, and the pattern most days is pretty simple: out early, back to a warm cabin, a hot meal, and do it again tomorrow.
What you get with a hunting stay:
- A cabin with a full kitchen, so you can cook your own meals on your own schedule — early breakfasts are no problem when the kitchen is yours.
- Firewood included.
- Our onsite sauna, new for 2026. It sounds like a small thing until the third cold morning in a row.
- Room for your crew. Twelve cabins between two lakes, so a hunting party can take more than one cabin and still all be in the same place.
- Fuel and ice on site. We sell 91-octane fuel and bagged ice to the public.
For licenses, seasons, and harvest registration, start with our Sportsman Information page — it has the Minnesota DNR links, the license agents up in Bagley, and the practical details in one place. Season dates and rules are the DNR's to set, so check there before your trip.
Heather and Christian Davis own and run the resort, and we live here — so if you need something during your stay, we're around. Hunting season is also our off-season for rates, and a lot of our fall weekends are quiet. Come use them.
Frequently asked questions
What do people hunt around Waubun?
Fall here is mostly grouse, duck, and deer. The hunting is in woods — wooded and closed-in, which is what a lot of grouse and deer hunters want.
Can our whole party stay together?
Yes — we have 12 cabins, so a party can book the number they need and everyone is on the same property, between the same two lakes.
Where do we get licenses?
Online through the Minnesota DNR, or in person at a license agent — the closest ones we list are in Bagley, about 30 minutes north. All of that is linked on our Sportsman Information page.
Do you allow dogs?
Yes — hunting dogs are welcome, up to 2 dogs per cabin. There's a $150 pet deposit per stay: you can leave a check, which we hold uncashed and shred once the cabin checks out fine, or we can put a pre-authorization hold on your card and release it once the cabin has been cleaned.
