Trip to Itasca State Park
Christine, the owner of the VRBO, was very friendly and accommodating! The place is lovely and just outside of the park. We rode out bikes into the park both days! We would highly recommend this place! Five star in our book!!

Visit at Lake Itaska State Park
Lodging was nice, well appointed and charming decor.
Location was ideal, practically at the State Park.
The visit was a very nice experience.

Clean and Super Comfy!
Loved the room to stay in for a couple days. We needed a last minute alternative to tent camping, and Big Timbers had a room available for us. Just a short distance from the North Entrance of Itaska- it made the family adventure much more comfortable and doable for us this year. Worked great for a family with young kids and 36 week pregnant mama! Loved it and would recommend! The ice cream and gift shop was an added bonus - especially for the kids after long adventure days at the state Park.

Great location close to Itasca Park. Clean and comfortable room. Owner has Ice Cream parlor a few steps away - which was key after an active day. Would certainly stay there again

Great place to stay.
The place is like brand new. Great place to go after a day out on the trails. And a added plus for the kids and adults was ice cream and pizza. High recommend this place.

What a wonderful find!
We were very pleased with the place. The manager was there during the day, running their new ice cream shop. Yummy!
It had everything we needed. Very clean. A big bathroom and plenty of space. The Fridge even had enough room for a bag of ice. Beds were comfortable. We plan on visiting again.
If you needed anything response was quick. They even accommadated us when we messed up on our arrival time.
