Amazing, cozy cabin
We had the perfect little getaway and the property was beyond amazing. Loren was extremely responsive and great to communicate with. You can really tell he takes pride in the property and his guests. We were also extremely impressed by the amount of kid amenities that were provided (baby gates were an amazing addition provided by the family!) and the fun toys for them. Looking forward to staying here in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Loren Johnston

Host profile image
We have enjoyed the journey of transforming an authentic log cabin & crafting a creative 4 bedroom, 3 bath timber home. We have used natural wood, timbers, stone, and tile together to create a 'natural living environment'.

Why they chose this property

We built it with a vision of bringing together a warm environment. Situated in a tranquil & natural setting surrounded by trees, seasonal stream, with lots of natural products used in the building process- stone, tile, hand crafted plaster and reclaimed fir timbers.

What makes this property unique

The large open and covered deck area has 2+ picnic tables and some chairs for outside dining, propane grill, and a beautiful view of the natural environment! Enjoy the peaceful setting of nature, seasonal meandering stream around the property, lots of nature, and only a few skips away from the North Shores of Lake Superior.
