We really enjoyed our stay here. Relaxing and peaceful location. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck in mornings and evenings. It was very clean. Highly recommend!
Exceptionally clean and neat, with a pleasing sparse decor. It’s stocked well, comfortable, quiet. Great view and fire pit. Close to town and the lake. We enjoyed being out of town and having quiet and privacy. It was a peasant and easy stay.
Note: There’s a steep incline up to it, with loose gravel on the hill/road, A four wheel drive would be recommended in my opinion; and they do mention that on their site. My little Honda civic with a heavy load was challenged, due mostly to the slippery gravel (but we made it!) so glad we chose it.
This is a great property. Very nice cabin, with a great view. The location worked well for us to hike the Superior Hiking Trail. The owners were very easy contact and got back to us quickly.
Great place. Secluded but close to everything we wanted. So nice to put the kids to bed and still have a space to relax. The only downside... The mosquitoes outside are ferocious, but that's expected with any cabin in the woods. Thanks again. We will likely be back in the future!
