Cabin vacation rentals in Lake Sakakawea

When we booked the Cedar Post for our trip through the Dakotas, we chose it for its proximity to the North Unit (10 minutes away) and South Unit (55 mins) of Teddy Roosevelt NP. But when we arrived we immediately loved it for how cozy it was and for where it sat on the ranch itself. The view is spectacular, better than the photos show, and the size and amenities were perfect. We had to make sure we had food because the closest stores were a bit of a drive for us city folk, but it was great to have a full kitchen with everything we needed once we brought in our food. There was more than enough room for the 2 of us, and even a group of 4 would be easily accommodated. Rachel is an excellent and quick communicator and does a fantastic job of making sure that you have everything you need (even meat from the ranch in the freezer if you want it). If you don't, she will figure out how to get it for you. We loved our time on the ranch and only wished it could've been longer!

Great place to stay, great daily rates, the hostess was wonderful and flexible. Enjoyed the peacefulness and beautiful lake. Hot tub when it's cold outside was fabulous!! The cabin is beautiful and well taken care of and spacious. Will be coming back when I can!

We had an amazing time!! There was a mama cow and her calf in the yard when we got there, our toddler was so excited! The owner even fed the cows right across from the cabin, so we could watch them eat. The cabin had everything we needed, and we loved seeing all of the calves and mama cows walking to the water! Beautiful surroundings and so peaceful! Will definitely be back! :)

What an amazing place to stay! If you need somewhere to stay in this area, Lone Butte Ranch is the place to go! So peaceful and quiet, great views, and all the amenities make it such a comfortable place to stay! Highly recommend!

Beautiful views and close to town. While it was a campground we felt very private next to others. Very responsive host. Appreciate that they allow dogs! Will definitely be returning next year!

The property was as described and the communication with the host was great! The owner's other business Boot's Bar and Grill had the best food in town, conveniently located just a few minutes from the cabin. My family is already planning their trip for next year and plan to stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay here. It was easy to get to and we were in town early and able to check in a little early. The place was very clean and it was in a very peaceful setting. We will be back.

The place was perfect for our 2 night stay . We enjoyed the location and the space. Bed was comfortable and everything was clean .

Overall nice experience

We had a great stay, and would be happy to use this place again. Very clean. Great instructions from the owner.

Nice clean comfy place just a short drive from the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Incredibly peaceful location. There are a couple other Airbnbs on the property, but I would not hesitate to stay here during peak season. Very responsive host. Kids also enjoyed the visits from the black cat “Sassy”. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Roger is a great host. Very responsive and respectful! Wonderful location to just sit and take all of what Western North Dakota has to offer. We will be back!

Rebecca’s place is a truly unique, peaceful getaway. From waking up to the wind softly whistling through the gorgeous badlands to getting a pristine view of the stars at night, the stay is an immersive experience in nature from the comfort of a cozy lodge. Can’t recommend visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park enough - we saw tons of wildlife and it was unequivocally worth the journey. Rebecca is super communicative and welcoming; you can’t go wrong with a stay at her place!

Another great stay at Kyle's place. This was our 4th stay of 2025. Love everything about this one. Nothing like it in or around Medora.

Brenda is a terrific host who offers a pleasant change from other local offerings. While it is 15 miles south of Watford City, the rural farm setting and private cabin are well worth the drive for groceries, gas, restaurants, etc. Since you will likely be visiting the area to enjoy one of our least visited national parks, a stay here be an extension of that experience. The South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park provides a simple introduction to "badlands," but more varied, in-depth exposure can be found in the North Unit. Because Brenda's cabin is just 10 minutes from the North entrance, you'll have no excuse to not enjoy both sunrise and sunset there from different vantage points. I was fortunate to be staying here on the evening of October 10, when the Aurora Borealis was clearly in view there. Whether you are a photographer or astronomer or not, I'm certain the dark skies will enhance your visit to Grassy Butte.
