This cabin and property was just breathtaking. Beautiful scenery and the pictures don’t do it justice. Definitely will be back again! Very clean cabin and the driveway was freshly plowed after fresh snowfall. Close to Trail 7 for snowmobiling.

We were very impressed with the house. It was in a quiet neighborhood with access to the river from the back yard. There was a lot of wildlife to be seen as you are just outside of town. The hosts were very helpful as they provided tips to help us find some other places to fish.
