Lovely place, perfect location
We had a great time visiting Itasca State Park. The cabin was in a perfect location, right across the street from the Park. The cabins are new, clean, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. Communication with the owner was easy and pleasant. Very highly recommend staying here if you get the opportunity!

You can’t go wrong
Clean, spacious, comfortable room. Convenient location. Grocery/gas/liquor store across the street. About 1/2 mile from the north entrance of Itasca State Park and the headwaters of the Mississippi. They also sell pizza & ice cream on site. The staff was friendly and helpful. Christine goes above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay and have everything you need. Lobo’s Bar & Grill is just a short drive from there. Very good food and friendly staff.

Up North Retreat
The listing details of the property are spot on! The room was extremely neat/clean with basically a brand new feel. Big Timbers also had an Ice Cream/Snack shop as well as gift-souvenir items. The host was very accommodating and social. We would highly recommend staying at this property while visiting the Lake Itasca Park area! Thanks for the fantastic hospitality!

It was very quiet. Everyone was kind and efficient. The couch was worn and smelled like urine. We had a little trouble finding the place, but that is our Gps problem.

Wonderful spot near Itasca State Park
Came up mid-may to explore itasca state park. This place right outside of north entrance to the park and has a gas station very close for any fill up of snacks and gas. The room was very clean and felt like you had a good amount of privacy. Perfect place to stay if you and visiting the lakes or parks nearby!
