Secluded Getaway
Excellent quiet location, well off the beaten path. Cabin was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Kitchen is setup very well, plenty of cooking utensils on hand. Quite a few games as well as DVD’s in the cabin as well as 2 smart tv’s and excellent wifi. Property is very wooded and has its own lake even! Jeff is a great host, would recommend and stay again!

A+ Place
Great place! It was super clean, attractive furnishings, provided everything we needed for cooking, eating, sleeping, bathing and enjoying ourselves while we were there. The friendly owner has done a wonderful job creating this peaceful, comfy place. We plan to return return to enjoy more time relaxing at this quiet hideaway.

Amazing Place to Stay
Such a wonderful space! The cabin itself is great - clean, cozy, and lacking-for-nothing. The cabin itself would merit a 5 star rating. But the whole grounds is just incredible. We were there during a snow, so didn't get around much, but what we did was great. Brought our dog and our kid, I don't know which had more fun! Can't wait to come back when the weather is better!

Lovely cabin & location
Had an early autumn personal retreat weekend here; a perfect spot for it. I'm a vrbo veteran and this property did not disappoint. Parked right next to the entry door, so convenient! Very clean, with comfy furniture (not always the case!), VERY fluffy bath towels, good kitchen setup for my minimal food needs. Bed was comfy for me, but I wonder if it might become a 'deep valley' with 2 sleepers. The interior feels so open and large; loved the views of the little lake. The owner's place is down the hill close to the lake; an RV rental is at the same hill level as this cabin, and there's another rental a little up the incline. All were occupied, and all are far enough away not to feel weird about neighbors. Appreciated the thoughtful touch of the privacy screen on the deck, perfectly blocking the view of the RV. There are nearby train tracks with trains 2-3 times per day. Not a problem as I love the sound. They're just far enough away to not be invasive. Great place! Thanks for making it so nice!

A great place!
The property was beautiful and we could tell the owners put a lot of thought into creating a lovely space for guests that was inviting and comfortable. Everything was very clean and organized. There were even dog bowls available for our pet. Jeff the owner was kind and great with communication and making sure all our needs were met. The lake in front of the cabin was lovely and we enjoyed our stay! We’d def book again!

Exceeded expectations
This was a perfect landing spot as we were traveling back to the Twin Cities from several days on the North Shore. The little cabin compound was located convenient to Jay Cook, Moose Lake and Banning State Parks, where we did great day hikes. In the evening we used the kayaks (provided!) to paddle around the small, non-fishing lake. The cabin was clean, well appointed, inside and out, with a really nice shared firepit area. We enjoyed our getaway and would not hesitate to rebook another stay.

Perfect Cabin
Jeff was an amazing host. The cabin sits on a little lake just 45 minutes from Duluth. We enjoyed the clean and roomy cabin for our family of four. Our kids were able to go out on the lake on a small boat and we enjoyed exploring the property. We look forward to booking again!

Grandma’s Race weekend 23
Visiting for GM race weekend and some time away from home. Reasonably priced, lovely cottage rental. Husband was able to fish while I was doing race activities. Pet friendly. About 40 minutes into Duluth so we did some back and forth but we knew the locality when we reserved. Well kept, clean and exactly as advertised. Friendly host who offered assistance if needed. We would definitely book again. Thank you, Jeff, we were pleased with our booking!

Great weekend getaway!
We had a wonderful weekend staying here. The cabin clean and well-cared for, with beautiful hardwood floors and a lot of natural light. The kitchen is well-equipped and has better appliances than we have at home! The pancake mix provided was delicious. We ate breakfast overlooking the small lake, and enjoyed just relaxing in the adirondack chairs on a tiny island in the middle of the lake. Jeff, the host, came by to welcome us to the property and gave all sorts of tips of what was nearby. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend away with easy access to both Duluth and some state parks, we recommend staying here!

Perfect!
The cabin was very well done and so clean. Every item was of high quality and every thing a person could need was supplied. The owner is in another cabin on the property but we felt like we were the only ones there. Beautiful property and well kept. Love that we were able to bring our dog. We hope to stay there again.

This is the perfect place if you're looking for a quiet place deep in nature. Not far from parks and Duluth and the price is tough to beat. The cabin is beautiful and has all the modern conveniences. I will likely come back again.
