Nice property

Rented a room at Big Timbers to attend a wedding in Itasca State park. Loved the proximity to the park and the room was lovely. Clean, updated, quiet and an ice cream shop next door. Would stay again.

Little Motel

This was the perfect location for our stay in upper Minnesota. The little motel is clean and modern with a log cabin feel. This is our second stay here and we tried a different room, which was also lovely. We would definitely stay again@
