Enjoy a peaceful setting with eleven acres to explore. Sandy beach and easy access to Lake Edward. Lake Edward is over 2000 acres (two miles north & south and one mile east & west). Rent a boat or pontoon at the resort and explore this crystal clear lake. Cabin 2 comes with cable tv, wi-fi, screen porch, deck, charcoal grill, picnic table, chairs, and a private fire ring. This charming 2 bedroom vacation rental is perfect for all ages. Want to bring more than 6 guests? Rent out some of the other 2-bedroom cabins and/or reunion cabins at the Shing Wako Resort.
Cabin 2 is a part of Shing Wako, an 18 cabin resort in the Brainerd area; Between mid-June and mid-August, you can book a “week,” checking in after 9 am on Saturday and checking out the following Friday before 10 am. You can also book a less than week stay; Friday – Monday for 3 nights or Monday – Friday for 4 nights. Either one is the same rate for the same size cabin. From May 1 to mid-June and mid-August to September 30 we have a minimum 2 night stay.
Sleeping arrangements for Cabin 2: 2 double beds (one is one the screen porch) and a sofa sleeper.
Relax on our beach loungers and soak up the sun. The beach area has a gradual sandy slope, perfect for swimming and hanging out on the beach. Have some fun on the water! Cabin 2 comes with paddleboat, canoe, single and double kayaks, and life jackets.
At night, gather around your own private campfire and roast marshmallows. We sell and deliver firewood.
On the resort grounds you will have access to a laundry room, sports equipment, board games, magazines, books, two playgrounds, carpetbag, horseshoe, volleyball, tetherball, and basketball court. For those rainy days, watch tv or take advantage of our free wi-fi.
Fishing is excellent on Lake Edward. The water is clear and you may even see the fish swimming below. Fish for northern pike, sunfish, smallmouth & largemouth bass and many more. Personally we practice catch and release and encourage guests to do practice this as well. But for those who are fishing for dinner, guests have access to the fish cleaning house. Freezer space available.
Observe the wide variety of birds that surround the resort…Bring your camera. Keep your eyes open for great blue herons, american coots, mallards, blue jays, red tailed hawks, canada geese, purple martins, and many other birds.
Ask us about the resort walking map! 3-4 miles of walking trails right from the Shing Wako Resort. We also have massages available upon request at/near the resort.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you so very much for being part of our family life by sharing your wonderful restful place. We cherish every moment of our time spent at Shing Wako. See you in August
Many thanks for the very relaxing and memorable stay at Shing Wako. From the comforts of cabin 10 to the fun whizzing around Lake Edward to our long hike to the delicious veggies from Borden Farm to the very enjoyable fire pit, we couldn’t have asked for more… oh and I forgot the friendly neighbors who shared their yummy freshly caught & fried sunnies & crappies with us. Margot & Chris
A great big thank you for a wonderful week vacation at the Shing Wako Resort. We had a fantastic time and made many family memories. As I said before, our cabin and experience far exceeded our expectations. Should we ever find ourselves planning a vacation in northern Minnesota, it will definitely include the Shing Wako Resort. Thanks again! Sandi B
