Perfect distance to travel for a weekend away from the Cities. Well kept and well appointed cabin with a great kitchen and big dining table accommodating meals and puzzles. Great shower. I appreciated the owners trust that guests are mature adults. A few things things-air fryer, grill and tub drain weren’t clean, but that’s on the cleaning service. Took two fun day trips to Sandstone and Moose Lake, and watched a pair of Trumpeter Swans fly overhead. All in all, peaceful, easy and very reasonably priced for 4 folks.

This cabin was the perfect combination of rustic and modern, remote but close to everything you need. Check-in/out was a breeze. The rooms were all comfortable and very quiet - I slept well here. The host thought of just about everything - movies, board games, books, spices, cookware... you name it. Our favorite time was sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the birds - we didn't see any deer in the yard during our short stay, but we say plenty just up the road on our way in, along with a pair of bald eagles that flew right in front of our car and landed in a tree next to the road. Next time we're up this way, we'll definitely be up for booking again.

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!
