Relaxing time at the lake

This large log cabin was a very fun spot to stay. The cabin construction was amazing to examine. The large enclosed front porch has a beautiful view of the lake with loons and osprey. There are nice outdoor spaces too, for games and relaxing. Close enough to Duluth to do a few city things too. Clean and cozy. We would stay here again.

Great winter getaway

Perfect for a group of friends with kids. The large fireplace was a big draw for us and it did not disappoint (though be sure to bring plenty of firewood to keep the flame going). We enjoyed playing in the snow with the kids out on the frozen lake and even found some nice Superior Hiking Trail hikes nearby, which were wonderful in the snow. Would absolutely stay again.

We were all very impressed at the condition of the old log cabin given its age and impressed at the expansion/additional that had been done to the originally cabin. This place is a must stay and was an amazing time!

Winter Getaway

The cabin was everything our two families of 5 needed—enough space for sleeping and room for the kids to play. The sauna was a great feature and got a fair amount of use. All in all it was a wonderful time up north!

Fantastic escape from busy life

This was the perfect place to get away from hectic life of the cities. More than enough space for everyone, as well as spacious room for the dogs to roam. Was out of the inner city enough to receive peace and tranquility, but close enough to run into town to tour canal park and other tourist attractions. I will recommend this place to family and friends.

Great getaway

Great place to get away from the city. The cabin is beautiful and spacious. We spent 80% of the time outside because it was so well kept that the fireplace was perfect and a great little field for corn hole. My group had a great time relaxing and having actual conversations instead of just looking at a screen.

Great place to disconnect

The lodge was a great place to disconnect from the hustle and loudness of life around us. While the wifi works well, it was nice to not be constantly looking at emails or taking phone calls, the ability to disconnect was great. Fishing at Briar Lake was slow but enjoyable.

Mini Family Getaway

This was our first whole family trip. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The cabin is in a perfect location, secluded but close enough to get to a store if needed. There was plenty of space for our dog to run around and the house was big enough that it didn't feel as if we were all on top of one another.

Elegant & cozy!

Easy check in, was good to know there would be no cell service in advance so we could plan for that. Lots of extra amenities provided (single use toothbrushes, combs, etc.) Decor was gorgeous and luxurious, the perfect blend of rustic and elevated. The well water definitely had a distinct color and fragrance—I’d personally recommend bringing plenty of bottled water. Photos of the rooms or the view don’t do it justice, nearly every room overlooks a new angle of the lake glittering between the trees. Would recommend to anyone who needs a place on the north shore that sleeps quite a few people!

Amazing Remote Cabin with Lots of Room

The place feels bigger than the listing shows, which was a nice surprise. The amenities, yard space, and furnishings were great. The drawbacks I found was there wasn’t any cellular service in the area (Verizon) and the Wi-Fi loaded slowly - pretty minor issue when compared to how great the property was. Plenty of water equipment there was almost no need to bring our own. Would recommend this property!

Beautiful cabin, beautiful location.

A beautiful cabin in an incredibly beautiful location. The house was spacious, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved all of the reading spots throughout the house and the seating area around the bonfire pit was great! Unfortunately the burner on the grill was rotted out and grill didn’t have enough propane for a single use. Also, the sauna only got up to 120 degrees after taking about 2 hours to heat up, which was a bummer, as we were really looking forward to using it.

Nice rustic beach house

I booked this place because i had family coming over from other state that wants to experience winter here in cold Minnesota. They were very pleased with the place. They wanted to experience walking on a frozen lake and they got to experience that. The lodge has a good space for everyone. The only thing negative was that the loft/attic room was very cold because we did not use the portable heater that was provided.. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay in this place and we would like to see it again in the summer.
