Right on the edge of Itasca State Park. It was the perfect place to stay and meet up with friends that were camping. We didn’t end up bringing our dog, but also appreciated that was an option. Clean and comfy!

It’s great place to stay….love the location …love the decor. I have stayed here in the summertime and now in the bitter cold ( -10 degrees/29 below windchill) and still had a fabulous time.

Very nice place. Sparsely furnished. Needed a small dinette instead of only one tv tray. I hope it survived the storm without damage last weekend.

Loved the cabin!

We had a great time during our stay! The bed was extremely comfortable, the cabin (and the bathroom especially) were very clean, and the owners were great with text communication. I wish they had properties next to *all* of the Minnesota State Parks.

Nice quiet cabin

Nice cabin in close proximity to Itasca State Park which is where I spent most of my time while I was there. Would love to come back in the spring/ summer so it would be easier to walk there.
