The cabin was originally built in 1902 just down the road. We tore it down and moved it to our property and completely restored it.

It can sleep up to four people, but note that it includes 1 queen bed and 1 pull out futon in the living room.

Perfect Little Getaway

We really enjoyed our time at Big Timbers! The 1902 cabin was so charming; rustic and historic structure with all the modern amenities you need! So well thought out for guests to make the stay easy and comfortable. The close proximity to Itasca State Park was what initially drew us to this location, but the charm of the cabin and the amazing service provided by the owners will Bring us back again! Definitely a must stay location if you're heading to Itasca State Park or just want some solitude in the wilderness.

Quiet comfort

A friend and I had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was so quiet and located perfectly close to both state parks we wanted to visit. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well equipped. I’d love to return and highly recommend.
