Brainerd Cabin Rental History:

Our Brainerd cabin rental was once owned by my late father-in-law, Gordy Sevley. The Brainerd Lakes cabin was his life's ambition. Gordy had vacationed in the Brainerd and Crosslake areas many times throughout his life. Brainerd's wilderness landscape fascinated him. It was much different than the farm in southern Minnesota. Gordy loved the Brainerd Lakes Area. He called it God’s Country. His dream was to retire in Brainerd Minnesota someday.

Brainerd Lakes Cabin Dream:

Gordy's dream was to spend his retirement in the Brainerd Lakes Area. He finally realized his dream in 2014 when he sold his interest in the farm, moved up north, and bought the property that our Brainerd cabin rental sits on. Gordy enjoyed living at his Brainerd Lakes cabin for seven wonderful years. The abundant wildlife living around his Brainerd Lakes cabin amazed him. One of Gordy's favorite pastimes was watching the various animals that lived in the woods behind his Brainerd cabin. He would sit in his big easy chair, look out his big cabin windows, and watch the wildlife for hours.

Gordy's Favorite Cabin Pastime:

Gordy's conversations were always filled with stories of the different birds, grouse, deer, foxes, bears, and other animals that visited the backyard of his Brainerd Lakes cabin. Gordy enjoyed his peaceful life at his cabin in Brainerd Minnesota. He undoubtedly would have lived there many more years, but unforeseen complications from a heart surgery forced him to move out of his cabin in Brainerd Minnesota mid-summer of 2021. Gordy entered into his permanent rest at a nursing home a few months later. He was 74 years old.

Family Cabin in Brainerd Minnesota:

The decision to turn Gordy's Brainerd MN cabin into a Brainerd VRBO cabin rental occurred shortly after his death. Michelle and I thought of selling the Brainerd Lakes cabin at first but then realized we had too many fond family memories created at his place. Nothing made Gordy happier in his final months of life than a drive up to his Brainerd Lakes cabin. We would park in the cabin driveway and watch the wildlife while he told stories from his past.

Brainerd Cabin Rentals:

The Brainerd Lakes Area has changed considerably over the thirty+ years that Michelle and I have lived in Brainerd MN. Most of the little family-run resorts and Brainerd cabin rentals that were so prevalent in the past have disappeared. A four-bedroom, three-bath modern cabin on fifteen wooded acres, located in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area, would be an extremely rare find nowadays. We realized if we sold Gordy’s cabin in Brainerd Minnesota we would never see another one like it again.
