    This was our second stay in Deer River - we love it! The house is clean, well stocked and in a great location. Close to shopping if needed but far enough away to feel disconnected. Little Bowstring Lake is great for fishing and kayaking. Also great for bird watching - eagles, trumpeter swans, loons, orioles...morning coffee on the patio was lovely. Hosts are wonderful to communicate with and very responsive. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful time at this beautiful, very clean and well maintained cabin. Everything is so neat and organized! We enjoyed the yard, patio, dock, kayaks, etc. The beds are comfy, the living and dining room were great to hang out and the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. We'll definitely be back!
