"Everything about the cabin was well thought out. Very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed being able to have a fire outside because the weather was perfect for it! Great selection of movies! We loved all of the light the windows let in and the coziness of the cabin. Just what we wanted to come back to after hiking!"
"Cabin was clean, beautiful and well-furnished. The area was very quiet with great views across the lake and of the fall foliage. Good access to the north entrance of Lake Itasca state park (about 25-30 min drive), which was the main reason we visited this area. It was lovely to come back to this cabin after a day exploring the park. The host was very quick to respond to questions and very helpful."
"This property was absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I were looking for a cozy fall getaway, and this cabin was exactly what we needed. Between the hot tub and the sauna, we stayed warm while enjoying the cool, crisp autumn air. One of our favorite moments was stargazing right from the hot tub — it was magical. We did notice that the jets turned off after a while and didn’t come back on, which might be a small malfunction, but it didn’t take away from the experience.Listening to the swans flap their wings and call out over the water was truly breathtaking. The cabin itself was perfect for taking in the view. We loved the setup — especially pulling the mattress down from the loft so we could relax and watch TV before bed. The Fire Stick made it so convenient to log into our streaming services.One tip for future guests: I’d recommend bringing a pair of “indoor” shoes, as there were quite a few Asian beetles that made their way inside. A few even crawled on me while I was sleeping!Reading the guest book and seeing stories from previous stays was heartwarming and made us even more excited to return. Thank you for sharing such a special space with us! "
"Everything was so cozy and clean. We enjoyed our Girls Getaway!!!The neighborhood area is quiet and the area was perfect to capture the northern nights!"

"We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location with easy access to Itasca. It was quiet and quaint. Loved sitting out on the porch in the mornings and evenings enjoying the view of the trees and listening to the birds. We did have a problem with quite a few flies in the house, but the host was responsive and brought us a fly swatter. But overall, we loved the place. The bugs were definitely not a deal breaker, just a minor annoyance. Would definitely recommend this cabin to others visiting the area"
"Lovely resort, super clean, well thought out, friendly, gem of a resort. The restaurant was really good too. We plan on coming back with our family every year at least once! Our kids loved the playground and the event center too! Would love to have an actual pool for kids instead of just a jacuzzi."
