Bedding, towels, furniture all clean and updated. Complimentary soap and shampoo/conditioner provided. Checking in was a breeze. When we arrived, the lights were on and the cabin was warm.
The reason for our stay (husband/wife) was to get away from the Minneapolis area, hang out with just us, put together a new puzzle, drink coffee (quietly with no kids), and binge watch a few shows. Mission accomplished.
Property was very quiet (winter time). Driveway and property were plowed and shoveled, level and flat, so grabbing our bags and walking right in was easy.
We ate out mostly, but kitchen was clean, appeared to be fully stocked with cookware, matching plates and drink ware; we only need a coffee pot and mugs.
Husband threw out a few tip ups right out in front of the cabin and caught 4, 20-25” inch pike.
Our absolute favorite part of the weekend, was the wood burning stove and streaming/WiFi capabilities. We “un-plugged” so to speak, but got to hang-out and watch everything we wanted at our finger-tips (something we can’t do at home with 3 kiddos).
If you have kids; the owners had toys/puzzles/activities including a sled or two, along with a pack and play and bunk beds. I’d say this is very small detail for some, but as a parent quite accommodating to families wanting to stay with small kids. Kids dishes and utensils as well!
Not a huge place (but that’s why we loved it) but plenty of space for a family of 4-5.
My only thing negative to note, the master bed was a Queen (which we knew when we booked) but the mattress was quite firm. My husband and I are very tall, so one ended up sleeping on the couch the next night. We’d stay again however! The bedding, pillows, and luxurious cozy blankets made up for it.
Had dinner and drinks at The 4 Seasons a few miles away.
The owner reached out to me prior to our arrival and gave recommendations on places to eat while we were in the area, and also provided a link for grocery pick up in town. Went out of his way. Thanks Jon.
Property manager, Jeff, was very responsive.
