Great hideaway!

Thoroughly enjoyed being tucked away in the woods! I had hoped to cross country ski on nearby trails while my teenagers slept, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We still all enjoyed our stay!

Favorite place to stay

This was my second time staying here. Love this cabin! Lots of amenities to use and the host is very responsive and accommodating. I have brought my cats both times. The AC works great, we use the grill on site. And there’s lots dishes and things to use in the kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

Good place to gather with friends or family

A family gathering to celebrate Karen's 80th B'day. a nice place to gather for an Elder party. The weather varied from light rain to muggy hot. No complaints except barking large dogs and description in listing does not accurately describe the property. Lots of parks and museums to visit and take walks. All in all a good time.

Fantastic!

Everything was great! It was a perfect setup for my family (parents and kids ages 17, 19, and 21). Everybody had plenty of space and it was just so relaxing for us to get away together and "hang" for a few days. Thanks for the perfect space for a mini "family reunion" for us all to reconnect before the school year starts again!

Great Getaway

The property was a delight. It is nestled in the trees, with great trails and is nice and quiet. It's easy to get to and close to 35W. The pictures depict the property perfectly and the kitchen has everything you need to cook.

Cozy Cabin

We take a trip for Christmas instead of doing gifts, and this year we decided to book in Minnesota hoping for a good snow. The cabin was beaufitul and stayed warm! We didnt have snow like we had hoped for, but there are tons of attractions close by!!! Some pictures show the river with chairs and i will say that its a very short walk! Keep left at the fork on the trail and you will see it, but the river is extremely low! We enjoyed our stay and found that prior travelers left notes in a book. We left our story as well. Along with items left for others to enjoy, as they did for us. The only small issue we came across was the water pressure for the washing machine. The owner quickly responded to my message with a call and we talked about how the hot water worked better than cold. It is well water and we were understanding. No biggie!! We got all our clothes washed. I would highly recommend staying here!! Its well insulated and i loved the dimmable lights. Wifi worked great and i had access to every kitchen item i needed when i cooked throughout the week. There was one burner that didnt get hot (the large one) but it didnt stop me from cooking! I really liked the decorations chosen throughout the cabin. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment here and will definitely return in the future!trail

Kettle River cabin

The cabin is very well decorated in the Northwoods style, and well equipped. The grass was mowed each week. Of course, as the cabin is in the woods, there are lots of mosquitoes outside so bug spray is needed!! Two dark domestic bunnies were often in the yard but the neighbors dogs barely annoyed us. There is no walking access to the River from the cabin but you can drive to the river 1/2 mile away. Hinckley is a nice quiet town with a small good grocery store.
