2nd year
This was our second year staying here. Its clean, quiet and very close to Itasca. We will ne back next year.
I think the property is very new. Everything was really clean and comfortable. The owners were very accommodating for anything we needed. The ice cream shop was a added bonus for the kids.

Location was incredible!
We were able to walk to the Headwaters of the Mississippi! The walk was 1.5 miles away and this was key as we could have the headwaters to ourselves at certain times. We came up to see this as do many tourists around the world, but for us we could walk there and enjoy the peace and quiet. I would highly recommend Big Timbers as the best location, great communication and comfortable.

Clean and close to State Park
We had a great time staying here. Very clean and only a few minutes away from Itasca state park.
We'll definitely come back and stay again.
The property is directly across the street from the north entrance of Lake Itasca, the Headwaters of the Mississippi. Beautiful north woods quiet experience. The owners are wonderful people that add to the stay. This is perfect for those who love the out of doors.

Great Find!
We've been visiting the Park for years, but gave up camping as we got older. Big Timbers worked out perfectly for us! Clean and spacious rooms, plenty of towels, comfortable beds, and communication was great! Will definitely stay again.

Great location!
This motel is brand new. Everything was pristine and well thought out. We had all that we needed-mini fridge, microwave, comfy beds, fluffy towels… Awesome accommodations right next to the park entrance.
