About this property

A River Runs Through It

Ok, so the mighty Crown Creek is not a river but the power of the rapids cascading through this property truly is mesmerizing. This 10.5 acre property consists of a one bedroom and one bathroom log cabin over-looking the Crown Creek. Trout fishing in both the Crown Creek and the adjoining Baptism River is excellent. The log cabin was just COMPLETELY renovated and everything in it is brand new. Quartz counter-tops and a copper sink highlight the new kitchen. Please view the YouTube link for more. Snowmobile and ATV trails are accessible right from the property with no need to trailer. End your night with a bonfire and smores overlooking Crown Creek in your own private setting. Please note that there is a security camera on the outside of the property.

The property was in great condition, very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. It rained a good part of our stay, so mostly stayed on site. But the covered gazebo was perfect for reading and lounging, and as an avid bird watcher I enjoyed walking around the property, as there are so many birds in the trees! It is close to plenty of state parks, and Dave provided a good list of things to do. Very close to a general store in Finland if you are short on supplies. The creek running through was gorgeous, and definitely is impressive in person. Would absolutely stay again!

We loved our stay! It was the perfect place for a quiet getaway before the busy holiday season. With so much nature in the area to explore, we came home feeling relaxed and rested. The cabin was very comfortable, clean, and had all of the amenities we needed for the weekend.

Winter retreat

Very nice place away from it all. Adequately equipped kitchen. Gas fireplace kept us warm all weekend. Bed was very comfortable. Creek was frozen over, so guess we’ll have to come back in the summer. Recommend highly.

Great location and cabin!

Location of property was stunning and the cabin was very cozy and even more beautiful than the pictures shown. It had everything you need and easy to settle in for a couple of days. The area around property was beautiful and we found many things to do and explore. We would love to come back in the summer/early fall to see what the area is like without all the snow!

We spent three days at the cabin. It was quiet, peaceful, and secluded. Beautiful view of the river. Nice, screened-in gazebo to relax and listen to the river's flow and singing birds. The cabin is well-equipped and stocked and beds are comfortable. We plan on coming back!

Nice Get Away

Looking for a nice quiet cabin in the Northwoods of MN. This is the place. Close to Finland (town not country), Lake Superior, the Baptism River, and Tettegouche State Park. The cabin was small but comfy for two people. Way to much snow to explore the property but did make it down to snowshoe a bit on Crown Creek.

Cabin

It was amazing to listen to the river all day and night and drink coffee in the morning basking in the sun and nature. There were no neighbors around and everything was extremely peaceful. I can see myself rebooking the cabin every year as a peaceful retreat to recharge. We visited the Finnish festival and went fishing and canoeing. We enjoyed being so isolated but also so close to Lake Superior. The cabin was very clean and ready to go. There were very clear instructions on how to work everything and check out expectations. I appreciated it.

Great Place to Get Away

We really enjoyed the beautiful cabin and surroundings. The sound of the water was awesome to wake up to. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Dave's book of favorite things turned out to be a real treasure. As someone who has lived in MN all my life and visited the North Shore every year, I was surprised to learn there were still things I'd never known about to go see. We really enjoyed Illgen Falls and Hidden Beach. Thanks for sharing your space with us. If I had to give one thing for improvement- the camera clearly does not just point down the driveway. We tried not to care, but it did feel like we could be on camera any time, which made it not quite as relaxing to be there as it would have been otherwise. (sometimes you don't want to wear pants, you know?) That said, we just made saying hi to Dave part of our routine. :) Thanks for a great trip, Dave!
