We absolutely loved the cabin on Rainy Lake! They are continually updating so it is even better than the pictures show. Great view of the lake and we enjoyed sitting in the enclosed patio area watching all the activity including wildlife, birds, boaters and seaplanes. Also loved Ranier, quiet little town with some options for restaurants and close proximity to International Falls for many more options. We went to local Cantilever Restaurant twice! A visit to the new Ronnings store in International Falls is a must do. Highly recommend this stay.

The Davis lake house was perfect for our group of three adults. The three bedrooms were very comfortable and the 2 bathrooms were great! House has been recently remodeled and is really pretty!The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to prepare delicious meals which we enjoyed watching amazing sunsets over the lake. The property is perfectly situated to explore Voyageurs NP which was our goal. Canada is literally minutes away as well. We enjoyed boat tours, hiking, sunset cruises, stargazing, and wildlife sightings including 5 bears!On our last evening we were also treated to the northern lights across the lake. Amazing trip at an amazing property. Thanks for sharing this gem with us!
