It was really good. Could use some rails around the steps to get in and out up and down.
Had a little problems getting up on the deck and in the house and there should be a hamper in the bathroom for the dirty towels so we don’t have to lay them on the floor just idea but we had a good time

Perfect Getaway
My wife and I stayed here for three nights. We loved the time to unwind and relax. The cabin has a rustic feel but has modern amenities. 100% recommend staying here. Evenings around the camp fire and mornings in the sauna. beautiful property and enjoyable time. Close enough to Brainerd but far enough to feel like you are out in nature.

Fantastic property and hosts
Highly recommend!!! This property was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The location made us feel very remote and secluded, but was close to great parks for hiking, amenities of Brainerd and great horseback riding 5 minutes away. The property is incredibly well appointed with all the things we could want, it’s very quaint and the nice little touches by the hosts was great appreciated. Communication from the hosts was awesome and very timely.

Log cabin charm with great ammenities
The cabin was great. While being small, it is very comfortable. 2 living rooms and 2 bedrooms. The owners did a great job making sure that everything you may need is there. They did a great job of combining old log home feel with very nice modern updates.
