If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. We booked this private lake lodge for my husband’s birthday, and it was exactly what we needed. The moment we arrived, everything slowed down. The stillness, privacy, and open sky are something you just don’t find anymore. This cabin is cozy rustic done right—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully put together in a way that makes you feel comfortable immediately. Every detail adds to the experience, from the peaceful lake views out every window to the quiet that surrounds you day and night. We brought his 18-year-old son, and he loved it just as much. Being on the water, unplugging, and having true peace and quiet gave all of us a chance to reset and actually be present together. The privacy is incredible—it truly feels like your own little world. The boat, dock, fire pit, and trees wrapping around the property create that hidden escape feeling that’s hard to describe. Mitch was an exceptional host—genuinely kind, responsive, and very accommodating. You can tell he takes pride in making sure guests feel welcome and taken care of. Everything was seamless from start to finish. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I’d love to keep this place to myself, but it’s too special not to share. We will absolutely be back.

Great little cabin. If you're looking for upscale cabin, this is not for you. If you're looking for a perfect little cabin to fish or ride, this is the place to go!! Access to ATV trails nice and close, no trailering just get in sxs and go.

Overall our experience was very good. The lodge was clean, in good condition, and well-equipped. The owner texted me the entry code and our arrival was smooth and without hassle. The area is private and secluded, which was just what we wanted. One minor quibble: I was drawn to the place in part because there was a fireplace pictured and listed among the property amenities. This turned out to be decorative fireplace, not a functional one. While we did not allow this disappointment to spoil our stay, I would suggest editing the description so it is not misleading.

The wind kept us from fishing as much as we would have liked but it was still a nice place to just hang out for the weekend. My husband has a bad back and the bed was comfortable for him. This rarely happens when we stay places so that was a big win for us.

Fishing nearby lakes was really good, food in nearby town was outstanding. And plenty of room for three adults. Very nice retreat. I'd do it again.

Great for our Family

The full set of extra amenities in the kitchen were appreciated, we liked the ability to do laundry, and the view was excellent. Mitch was great in communicating with us and making this a stress-free stay. If you want to go to Northern Minnesota, you won't find a better value than the "Little Lodge!"
