One-week Fall Stay
This was a well appointed authentic Northwoods themed motel room. Brand new. Modern decor. Very comfortable. Christine, the host, was responsive and very friendly. It is obvious she and her family have taken great pride to make a first class property. We will definitely recommend it to others and stay there again.

Cozy, Close to Itasca
TL;DR: Overall very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this comfy/cozy room! We hope to visit again soon! This is a great location for a VRBO just across the street from the north entrance of Itasca State Park, close to the headwaters. It's near a main road, but there was very minimal traffic at night. The room was easy to access and pet friendly with hardwood floors. Cozy wood interior and cabin-like decor with the amenities of a nice hotel room. The king size bed was super comfortable. Heat and A/C available for those warm/cold fall days. Microwave and mini fridge/freezer worked great! Bathroom was spacious with a nice hot shower. Nice outdoor area to take our dog out to potty. We didn't have neighbors most of our stay, but did notice the walls weren't very soundproof so could hear barking if it's happening in the room next to you. There's a little restaurant/gift shop next door with pizza, ice cream, and souvenirs.

Homey and convenient
The room was perfect. Homey, comfortable and convenient. The amenities that were supplied were perfect and the room was so comfortable. We came to hike the state park and see the headwaters and it was so nice to come home to in the evening. I wish they were at every state park! We would definitely stay again if back in the area.

A great find!
This was our second stay in 2023. We enjoyed it the first time and just as much the second time. We'll be back again. Great service. Always available when and if you need something. Oh and you have to go to their ice cream shop! Right by the building.

Lovely spot!!
We loved it! It was so nice being in the woods and near Itaska state park to go to during the day, but yet having a air conditioned room with a smart tv in the evening! I would highly recommend staying here. We will be back! Much better than any hotels I had seen in the area.
