Great Cabin In The Woods

Tons of space. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a large group. Check in/out was easy. Outdoor areas were great for yard games and bonfires. Close enough to Duluth, but tucked back in and felt very private.

nice secluded place

the place was nice. too many stairs for elderly folks. a good thorough cleaning would improve it. the mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers was a big turn off.

Secluded Getaway for Building Memories

We had a wonderful time as an extended family in the North Woods! The house was big enough to comfortably accommodate our group of 17. We had a great time paddling on the pond, picking raspberries, listening to the loons, and watching beautiful sunsets over the water.

Family reunion get away

Amazing cabin - we had a large group for a family reunion, ranging in age from 6 months to 70+, and the cabin and area was perfect. The kitchen area is huge for cooking for large groups, lots of outdoor area to set up games and for the kids to run and play. The kayaks were great to go out on the water. The owner was very prompt and quick to get back to us whenever we had questions.

Bachelorette weekend

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time at this place and the cabin fit all of us with room to spare. The property is beautiful and peaceful. It was a scorcher 95 degrees all weekend so we stayed in the water alot. The pond is nice, it shallow but good enough to float around and kayak in. The cabin stayed surprisingly cool without AC as long as we opened the windows at night. A couple of downfalls were the showers water temperature is hard to control and couldn't use the one in the main level master. There was a hot tub but no water in it so wasn't usable. It was in a picture online but not listed under amenities so a little misleading. The screen porch screen was loose so not bug proof and the dock was in need of repairs but we still we're able to get in the water. We didn't have enough cookware to cook for a large group but the owner dropped new pans and a skillet off for us which was really nice!
