Cabin Rental Agency in Minnewaukan, ND — Our Story

Tice Properties is a private cabin rental business rooted in the belief that the best trips happen when people connect to a place. Based at 231 B St E, Minnewaukan, ND 59351, United States, we’ve been serving visitors to our community for eight years. Our mission is to match guests with an experience that reflects the region’s character—shoreline serenity, rustic architecture, and welcoming hospitality—while making the rental experience straightforward, secure, and pleasurable.

Our History and Why We Exist

Tice Properties began as a passion for sharing our family's lake cabin with families seeking seasonal escapes. Over time, we have meticulously upgraded and refined our single property to provide an exceptional guest experience. We built the business on two core observations: guests seek more than a place to sleep, and a local host can bridge that need with personalized service and regional know-how.

Our Team

Our team blends local property knowledge with customer service expertise. Each member contributes a practical understanding of maintenance, seasonal access, and guest needs—whether it’s advising a first-time fisher where to launch, arranging an extra set of linens, or coordinating urgent repairs. We serve as the single point of contact for guests and owners, smoothing communication and resolving issues quickly.
