Jill and your Family, Thank you for such an amazing review ! I don’t like to bother my guests but I hope they all know I’m here if they have any issues ! Phone service isn’t great at all times but I try to be on the property or nearby to accommodate and respect everyone’s privacy as well ! Your review means a lot to me as I’m always worried I’m just not doing enough to make each stay as cozy as possible ! I appreciate you so much! I hope you and your family made good memories and some day you return you are always welcome here ! Stay healthy and hydrated !

April is an amazing host, she made us feel more than welcome. She made us bagels on our arrival and left treats for our pup. The massage chair and tanning bed are relaxing especially if the weather is bad. If you love the outdoors with a few modern amenities this is the place.

Seriously, just so nice!

We really loved our stay at the cabin! We felt so welcome and at home, we didn't mind having to stay because of the rain. Literally anything we needed was provided! Its in a great location! Not too far from International Falls, but also close enough to Kabetogama to make it an easy drive. April, you knocked it out of the park for us! This was the break we needed to recharge and remotivate. Thank you so much!!

Enjoy the stay

We really enjoyed our 2-day stay here. April is such a great host. Great communication. She addressed our questions promptly. She was so sweet to get life jackets for us since I asked about canoe other reviewer mentioned. We found everything we need and more except wifi and phone/text coverage. No coverage ended up to be the blessing for us with my 2 college kids. We spent our time talking, cooking, taking turn on massage chairs, and the highlight is canoeing on the river in the back of the house. We would go to International City to get grocery after visiting national park and checking emails/getting on internet/making phone calls and texts there before coming back to house to cook dinner and hang out. I highly recommend staying here! Thank you, April!
