Snowmobile Stays
Snowmobile Stays — Groomed Trails Right From Your Cabin
When the snow sets up, this is a pretty good place to be a snowmobiler.
The groomed trails are accessible right from our cabins, so you're not loading up and trailering somewhere every morning. You ride out, you ride the day, and you ride back to a warm cabin. We're in Waubun, Minnesota — 45 minutes northeast of Detroit Lakes and 45 minutes northwest of Park Rapids — with 12 cabins between Hoot Owl Lake and Pickerel Lake.
We're on the Naytahwaush Nightriders trail map — business #6, if you're looking at it — and a club trail runs right past the resort: north to intersection N9 and the Little Rock trail, south to Highway 113, and west to the main trail toward Angus. The main trail arcs past just south of the cabins toward intersections N11 and N12 at County Road 37 and Highway 113, so you can loop out in almost any direction from here.
A few things that make a sled trip easier here:
- Fuel on site. We sell 91-octane fuel and bagged ice to the public, right at the resort.
- Room to spread out. Twelve cabins, full kitchens in every one, and trailer parking is available — we have a few overflow options and will point you to the right spot for your stay.
- Food without getting back in the truck. Once the trails have a good base, our restaurant is open in winter Thursday through Saturday, 11 AM to 8 PM.
- A sauna at the end of the day. Our onsite sauna is new for 2026, and after a cold day on the trails it earns its keep.
- Firewood is included, and the cabins are warm when you get back to them.
For trail conditions before you come, check the Minnesota DNR snow depth and groomed trail conditions page, and the two local clubs — the Forest Riders Snowmobile Club and the Naytahwaush Nightriders. They're the folks who keep these trails up, and their reports are the ones to trust. One thing worth saying plainly: the area grant-in-aid trails are snowmobile-only in winter — ATVs are not allowed on them.
We're Heather and Christian Davis, we live here on site, and winter is one of our favorite seasons at the resort. If the snow is good, we'd love to have you come ride it.
Frequently asked questions
Can we ride right from the cabin?
Yes — the groomed trails are accessible from the cabins. You don't have to trailer to a trailhead every day.
Where do we get fuel?
Here. We sell 91-octane fuel at the resort, and bagged ice too.
Is the restaurant open in winter?
Yes, once the trails have a good snow base — Thursday through Saturday, 11 AM to 8 PM. In summer it's Friday and Saturday, 3 to 8 PM.
When is snowmobile season?
The trails are open December 1 through March 31, conditions permitting — and "conditions permitting" is doing real work in that sentence. Check DNR conditions before you plan around a date.
