We had a great family weekend. It's a secluded area with not much around and was perfect for late nights around the fire watching the stars and a huge yard for the kids to run! The cabin was clean and perfect for our family!
The cabin was spotless and very well maintained. Everything was clean and organized, which made our stay comfortable and relaxing. It’s clear that the owners take great care in keeping the space tidy.

Thanks for the review and nice comments. Glad you had a great time :)
This was a perfect stay for a long weekend up north on the lake. It was a nice quiet property and was well stocked with the essentials! Absolutely loved our stay and we will be back next fall!

Awesome Mandy, so glad you had a great time and that you will be back next year!. We look forward to it.
Great cabin to share as a base for family and friend get-togethers. We held a great family visit here with the outdoors, the deck, the fire pit being outdoor attractions. The kitchen is well equipped for hosting meals. The shared indoor / outdoor space through the sliding doors made for a great gathering.This cabin is suitable for a small family up to a larger group. Look at this location if you are planning a trip to the Iron Range.
Quiet and relaxing!
The cabin was furnished with everything needed, and the location was perfect. This was our 4th year here, and we always look forward to this annual getaway!
