Few nights

Great location, had ice on the ramp and fell. So ensure ice melt is applied prior to anyone staying. Not much for cooking supplies and stainless pans which are tricky to cook with. Needs more light in kitchen, too dark to cook.

Perfect for a relaxing weekend away

Took my mom on a relaxing weekend and it was great. Super quiet and cozy. I'm not great at making fires but I figured it out a couple of times and made it even cozier. I wish I had written down the check in info before we got up because I didn't have any signal, but my mom did so we figured it out. One small issue with the Internet and they responded right away and got it fixed up. There's some super friendly and soft cats that were around too.

Lovely & Unique

Our group of four women enjoyed our stay; cabin was as described and worked out well for us. Unique in that we were greeted by kittens and chickens which were definitely unique and cute. Communicated with the host family on two occasions and were very pleasant and accommodating. Enjoyed the walking trail they created on the property and wished it hadn't rained like it did so we could have walked more! Thank you!!

Comfortable place to stay.

We slept well in the beds provided. Everything worked, and we could adjust the temperature to be comfortable for us. It was nice and clean. We enjoyed all the dvd movies that were there for our use. The kitchen had everything we needed for the meals we made. The owners were available if we needed anything. It would have been nice to have a shower that was more accessible for someone with limited abilities.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Doliber

We are Bob & Rae, and work full time in the Twin Cities until we retire next year. We enjoy meeting new people, and have traveled to about 20 countries, and lived in Haiti for 7 years serving after the 2010 earthquake.

Why they chose this property

Formerly the Dakota Lodge, we recently bought this beautiful property for when we retire next year. At least until then, we want to share it with you, and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. About 90 minutes from the Twin Cities to the south, or Duluth to the north.

What makes this property unique

DVD/VCR player and videos await your down time. Or simply grab a board game or cards, and create some precious family memories.

With off road parking available, bring your trailers loaded with motorcycles, ATV's, boats, kyaks, or canoes. We are close to two state parks with miles of trails to walk, or ride. The Munger Trail is only ten minutes away. Canoe trips can be are organized daily by a local outfitter, no experience or equipment needed.
