Our family of six had a wonderful stay. The property and cabin exceeded all our expectations, and Tera could not have been a more hospitable and responsive host. Grateful for the time we were able to spend in this beautiful place.

A gorgeous home secluded in the deep forest. Beautiful views, and so lovely to relax on the high veranda. Home is well furnished with light touches of North Woods decor. Modest drive to Ely and to a few BWCA Entry Points. Host Tera was exceptionally responsive. Would stay there again, and highly recommend.

My girls and I had a blast on this property! The house was beautiful, the view was amazing! There were so many amenities for our use, which was super helpful! The host was wonderful and so helpful too! For anyone looking for swimmable beaches in the area, I highly recommend Sand Lake, which wasn't to far! Once again, I can't recommend this cabin enough!

Excellent property and space. The quintessential ‘Cabin’. It’s a bit removed the hustle of town, that means it is quiet and the stars are bright! Owner was very accomidating.

Perfect get away with everything you need in a very adorable cabin. Beautiful location on the river, with a great view from the porch, which was great for relaxing in the evening. Very remote location, service and internet just a bit sketchy. Highly recommend for a quiet get away

Beautiful, cozy, well appointed cabin in the North Woods with a scenic river! Great location for hiking (we did 4 hikes all within 1 hour drive), and close to Ely for shops and treats. Beds were very comfortable, well stocked kitchen and bathroom, pellet stove for warmth, strong wifi, and dog friendly which we so appreciate! Tera is an A host with excellent communication and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing your home, we hope to return next Fall!

Relaxing, peaceful, and room to roam. At sundown, the gnats and mosquitos came out heavy. There was a fire danger warning so a campfire outside was not possible, and it was indoors sundown to sunup. You could hear the river rapids from the house off in the distance and the river was majority rocky bottom with the majority shallow depth and a few deeper holes.

Everything was great. The only bummer was the screen porch was locked and the bugs were bugging. Would have been great to use that space. Other than that it was wonderful. Private, quiet, clean.

Hi, Im sorry to hear about the screen door. We dont have a lock on the door, it does have a spring loaded hinge to keep the screen door closed. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will add a sign so guests know to push the door a bit harder. Sorry this happened for you guys. Thank you again for staying, the review, and making me aware of the door. You were a fabulous guests, keep me in mind again in the future. Thank you

This was one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. The home was clean and felt like a home away from home. Communication was incredible by the owner and the additional information about the area and where other services could be found was top notch. The property is so quiet and peaceful. A gorgeous cabin feel out in the woods. A fully stocked kitchen made making meals easy as cooking at home. On a clear night you can see all the stars and even the Milky Way! Super comfy beds and chairs too. Would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to get away from the cities and relax.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! Tara was very responsive whenever we had questions. It is a beautiful property, it kind of reminds me of the setting in the book Where the Red Fern Grows. We were able to bring our dog and Tara even provided accommodations for her with treats, water bowl etc. The kitchen was fully stocked with kitchenware, we really didn’t need anything extra. The bed was very comfortable and there wasn’t strong fragrances (some another short term rentals have way too much). We loved the property so much that we skipped out on going hiking and just enjoyed the scenery. We will definitely come back!

The river behind the cabin was a hit for my kids. Beautiful to kayak or fish in. The location is near Ely so we got the quiet but also beautiful wolf and bear exhibits to go see. The cabin was beautiful. And the host is very kind
