Very well decorated northern feeling cabin with a lot of family history! Very clean and welcoming with many updated features. Full kitchen, large saunas, and awesome front covered porch. We spent most of the weekend out on porches! Would highly recommend for any family or small group trips and make sure to check out Jay Cooke State Park near by!

Relaxing Retreat

Our group of 6 had a very relaxing stay. The beds were very comfortable, the house was clean and there were several spaces throughout the property that we were able to make use of. The check in process was easy and the hosts were available with any questions.

Lovely, quaint getaway.

A friend of mine and our dogs wanted a weekend away from the “rat race” of the city and work. The hosts were very prompt, responsive and wonderful to work with in the booking and stay. Their home is very peaceful and very well put together.

It was lovely to get a tour from the host and learn about the history of the house as well as the design elements. I’m amazed at the generations that have cared for and improved the space.The space was cozy and made us feel relaxed. Everything was tidy and clean! The fun puzzles about the house were an added bonus and a good way to pass the time!

Incredible space for family and friends! We had little ones with us and there was so much to do to keep them entertained! Plenty of space for hanging out and relaxing!

Slice of Paradise

Stayed here for a long weekend with friends. The home is beautiful with plenty of space to relax on the property or drive 20-45 minutes in whichever direction to find something else to do. Only real shopping option is Dollar General down the road, but it was good enough for our needs.

Lovely woodsy retreat

Surrounded by green trees and carefully chosen plantings with a delightful deck, and a little pond, this place is idyllic. The interior is idiosyncratic, but memorable and very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay. It was one small problem concerning the coffee maker, but the owners responded quickly and helpful.

Beautiful and relaxing

Great spot. Big yard for the dogs, flowers and fruit trees, space for the teens to get away from the adults. Several state parks within 30 min but you wouldn’t need to leave. Cabin has lovely amenities. Nice hosts as well :).

10 year getaway

We stayed here with two other couples to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. Brandon and Derek were extremely communicative and friendly. We enjoyed playing croquet, making breakfast in the well stocked kitchen, and ending the night at the groovy bar downstairs. The sauna was a hit as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back with friends.

Beautiful home, great location

We stayed here with a family group (including dogs) for a quiet long weekend and could not have been more pleased. The house itself is beautifully furnished and well-appointed. The care and pride the owners take in the home is evident in every detail. The owners were also very welcoming and gracious, and were helpful in promptly answering questions and accommodating our individual needs. The location was excellent - we loved feeling secluded in nature while also being close to local attractions like Duluth and state parks

Great cabin with luxury touches!

This is a cabin. It is finished with very nice interior and exterior spaces. There are many luxurious features throughout. It was very hot during our stay but with cross breezes and open windows it stayed cool inside! Derek & Brandon are fabulous hosts. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends and family. This cabin is a great space to relax, recharge & reconnect with friends or family!

Wonderful!

This place is a lesson in history. So many antique items and modern appliances! The bedrooms were nice and spacious and the living quarters are amazing! So many things to look at and the bridge to the little house on the island are very cute! The flowers were blooming and the outdoor property is well kept and sitting on the deck and looking at the flowers, water, and bridge was beautiful! There were 6 friends staying and it was spacious enough for all. I would recommend this cabin for a getaway and we will be going back again next year. Loved it!
