Moose Lake Lodge & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We love the staff, we love the cleanliness, we love the location."

9 Acres of Secluded Freedom along the Kettle River in Sturgeon Lake, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was exactly what we were looking for! Nice, peaceful getaway in a beautiful setting. Camper was exactly as described and our pup loved it and the space to run. Barbara was an excellent communicator and quick to respond to our questions leading up to our stay. We will definitely be back to unplug from the hustle and bustle again!"

3BR Farmhouse Retreat Country comfort with farm animals, trails & cozy spaces

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a real gem, especially for the price we got it for. Everything was clean and fully stocked when we arrived. Loved the decorations everywhere, especially the sun room out back. There were many nice to haves like firewood and extra foodstuffs in the pantries. The documents that were sitting on the table gave all the information we needed, contacting the owner was pretty straightforward and efficient. My group loved meeting the goats outside haha. Everyone found a comfortable place to stay, we didn't have to use any of the living rooms for sleeping but some friends brought cots we utilized. The AC was a bit finicky at first, but we realized a vent was closed in one of the rooms. Overall this is definitely a stay that I would recommend to anyone visiting the Duluth/Cloquet area."

Postcard Cabins Kettle River, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"This place was beautiful! It was just what we needed. It gave our family a chance to connect with nature but still have the luxury of an actual bed and shower. The place was perfectly spaced out and the amenities provided were great. Our kids loved the s'mores kit. We stayed here for close proximity to Banning State Park but on the way to our cabin we saw a mama doe waiting for her baby, which will be quite memorable for the whole family. We will be back!"

Northwoods Inn LLC

8/10 Good

"Place looks pretty rough from the outside, but the room was clean and felt fresh and inviting inside. View of the lake is minimal - it's pretty far away and across the highway, but still nice. The girl who checked me in was cute, friendly and helpful. There are NO amenities, lol. "

Whispering Pines-HOT TUB-SAUNA-GOLF-FISH-SWIM

10/10 Excellent

"Came in with our family of 8, ages 9-22. The availability of kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit, hottub and sauna kept everyone busy. Cooked all of our meals, as the kitchen is nicely stocked. The cleanliness of the house and property were top line! We pulled our own boat up, and although the water by the dock is shallow, we had no issues keeping it docked for the week. Caught a nice amount of fish...crappie and bass were keepers. 17" bass was our largest catch. Daily drives into Duluth to see all the sites made the trip busy, but well worth the time!"

Big Sandy Lodge and Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was clean and orderly. The room was smaller than a hotel room. More like a bedroom. The bed was very soft which for me was very uncomfortable. I had trouble turning on the television. After doing some troubleshooting I called the front desk and got voicemail. It said the pool and hot tub were closed due to construction. It also said they would call me back. They called an hour later and came up immediately. She got the tv on. After she left I still couldn’t get the remote to work and finally figured out that it was set up for voice commands and most of the buttons were useless. Anyway, while I was walking down a hallway I saw the pool and noticed people swimming. It was evening the day before I checked out so I didn’t get to use the pool. I was able to relax, though so I did accomplish what I went for."

Charming cabin in delightful Duquette with AC near miles of ATV trails.

8/10 Good

"All in all I had a nice time at the cabin. It's very rustic. It's well kept and fairly clean aside from some mouse droppings in the corners. It's in the woods so perhaps to be expected. There are plenty of dishes etc to make your stay comfortable. My dogs loved running around the yard. The queen bed was very comfortable. Cons: The air conditioner is old and barely works. If the temperature is above 68 it does not do anything. I came during a very hot point during the summer and it was a little disappointing to have it not working. No matter what you do, you can't get it to say engaged for very long. I turned it off, turned it down, changed to various settings hoping it would kick back in to no avail. The fans provided help somewhat. We had some very uncomfortable nights. While the bed is extremely comfortable, it was wrapped in flannel sheets which did not help the situation. I had a hard time getting decent rest due to the heat. The bathroom wasn't terrible for a camping situation, especially since an outhouse would have been much worse. Going outside every time it gets a little old. The hard water stains are a little gross but it's a cabin in the woods. The water in the cabin is very hard. I recommend bringing a lot of bottled water with you! It's fine to wash fruit or take a shower but I didn't drink it and I did not even want the dogs to drink it. In the end I would return but not until that AC gets replaced!"
