It was awesome to find a cottage on the North Shore that is per-friendly. It was perfect for my husband and I, our dogs, 4 young adult kids. We walked to the Lake. Played games, cooked together, and ate together at the large table.

Cozy and well-equipped cabin for our family of 4 (plus dog) to enjoy a snowy Thanksgiving getaway. Proximity to 5 nearby MN state parks made adventuring easy plus beautiful access to Lake Superior just a short walk on property. Had everything we needed for games, good food and relaxing. Enjoyed our stay!

Location was great. Property had everything one would need to be comfortable. If you have allergies, this place is not for you. However, the most important thing anyone should know is this property is riddled with mold. It's been covered up on the main bevel, somewhat. But it still smells. Bathroom baseboards clearly had black mold and basement as well. It's for sale. Do not rent.
