Great place! Very nice! Will definitely stay again!
This motel was conveniently located just across the highway from the north entrance of Itasca State Park. The room was spacious, clean, and adorably decorated. The owner was friendly and kind. My 12 year old son and I had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend staying here!
This lovely little motel was exactly what we needed, a home base while we explored & hiked, visited w friendly locals & ate great walleye. Christine was quick & easy to communicate with, and our room was squeaky clean!
Excellent location near the Itasca State Park. Plenty of amenities which also included shampoo, body wash, kpods, and much more! Will definitely come back with the family.
Christine is communicative & responds in a timely manner. Location was clean, & it was perfect for the Headwaters.
Would stay there again if ever up in Itasca.
The room was very nice and clean! The wood walls inside the room were beautiful. It was very quiet and the bed was very comfy with super soft sheets. It was also dog friendly so we could bring Buddy!
We had a great time visiting Itasca State Park. The cabin was in a perfect location, right across the street from the Park. The cabins are new, clean, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. Communication with the owner was easy and pleasant. Very highly recommend staying here if you get the opportunity!

This property was perfect! A comfortable place to rest our heads after hiking and exploring the park and surrounding areas. The owner was extremely good at communicating everything we would need to know and was very pleasant to deal with. We definitely plan on going back!
Quiet, great location to park, and clean. The tiny complaint. Air conditioning was noisy . And i always wish for more hooks for towels, clothes, and more
