When the couple dipped into lake life, they zeroed in on a small 1960 log cabin: Less than an hour’s drive from their Edina home, it seemed like different terrain.

It would be natural to assume their Maple Lake cabin in Buffalo would be a place to slow down. But that’s not how the Lebers roll. The cabin is a whir of activity as they host a steady stream of guests for tubing, bonfires, board games, or cocktails enjoyed to stunning sunsets.

As cohost of Twin Cities Live, a radio show contributor, and a Vikings sideline reporter, Ben Leber is used to striking up conversations. His wife, Abby, is an extrovert whose mantra is “the more the merrier.” With two teens and a tween, the couple seems to be always on the go.

Elements that are functional and beautiful fill architects Jean Rehkamp and Mark Larson’s cabin, including his grandfather’s skis in the living room “My dad learned to ski on those, and now they’re at the center of the house,” Larson says.
