Spiral Staircase Leads To The Lofted Bedroom With Wall To Wall Knotty Pine.

The Loft is set amongst a circle of trees next to the entrance to the Blueberry Trail. It receives some welcome southern sunshine in the winter through the big living room/dining room windows.

You enter the Loft through a wraparound screened-in porch and then into the kitchen. Off to the left are two rocking chairs with foot stools in front of the free standing wood burning fireplace. Ahead sits the dining table in front of the large, south-facing, viewing windows. Also on the first floor is a 3/4 bath with a shower. You ascend up the spiral staircase to the loft where two single beds reside. The Kitchen has a small refrigerator with a freezer, a two-burner cook top, microwave, coffee pot, crock pot, and a toaster oven. A CD player, air conditioner, floor/table fans as well as ceiling fans, WiFi, and an outdoor grill are also available.

Short Trip

We only stayed two nights. It was a very cute and cozy cabin. It did have a smell (likely the fire place mixed with carpet). Could use a deep cleaning. We booked on Vrbo and our reservation was not found until we called. He was able to get us into the cabin still and offered a bigger one if it was too small for us. We ended up enjoying the coziness!

Just the basics

My husband and I stayed here due to the accessibility of the Soo Line ATV trail. It was perfect for what we needed; shower, small Kitchen stocked with the basics and QUIET. Only downside for us was the bugs! Went through 2 full cans of bug spray in 2 days for 2 people. Overall enjoyed our stay and do plan on doing so again in the near future

Cute, But Fell Short of Expectations

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the property, but it wasn't the most comfortable visit. The place was cute upon first glance, though much smaller on the inside than we expected. More tiny house than cabin, and one that has a bit of a smell. Like other reviewers mentioned, there were many notes scattered around the cabin instructing guests to do/not do certain things. To be fair, I get the purpose is to ensure maintenance of the cabin, but it would have been nicer to list those items on a sheet of paper on the table. The fireplace was cozy, and the cabin was stocked with a good amount of firewood, but beyond that you have to pay for extra. Both lighters were out of lighter fluid, fortunately there were matches. The loft got pretty toasty, especially if you had a fire going at any point in the day. We tried to use the small fan to cool us down, but it sounded like an airplane taking off. The rocking chairs and beds were not the most relaxing, maybe more supportive pillows would do the trick. The kitchen is well stocked, though there were some random jars labeled but empty (ex. one that said 'Popcorn'). There is a sauna on-site, clearly labeled on the property map. Upon checking it out we learned the sauna is heated manually by fire and takes up to two hours to be ready for use. It was great to have Wi-fi, but don't plan on watching any movies/TV because it will take all night to load. The trails were nice, and the location was very picturesque and remote. Overall it was nice enough, but due to the issues addressed above we will not be returning.

Rustic place

Due to a longer stay (6 nights) we appreciated being offered another cabin that was a bit larger than the one originally booked. The cabin Birches has seen a few guests and may need a bit of a deep cleaning (which we understand could be challenging in the natural setting). Otherwise, for the time we were there all amenities were sufficient and in working order. Couldn't see staying in this cabin with kids and for this long a time. Some people brought pet dogs or HOVs. Our timing in mid-July, after rains, was unfortunate as there were a lot of bugs on the surrounding trails. Did use a bug spray but it didn't seem to deter the "deer(?) flies" that became a nuisance. Beautiful nature and setting otherwise! Property is rather close to the road so while sitting outside one can hear traffic roaring by, even further out back. Not an issue when inside. The animals (several horses and three ponies) were concentrated in a small area right at the front entry along with owner's houses which gives a bit of farm feel. A pair of trumpeter swans in owner's possession was a surprise - we were warned to avoid them due to being aggressive with strangers. This made us shy away from taking walks around the 'front pond'/ labyrinth/ gazebo... Made trips to Duluth, other state parks and Mille Lacs Lake area. Overall, a nice rustic place for a short stay. Thanks!

More to do at the property than individual cabin listings suggest

Note: we ended up staying in a different cabin at the same property, so the comments apply to a different cabin than the one pictured.. The owner cleared the change with us in advance. To get the negatives out of the way: the biggest issue I have is that there was a dramatic upcharge for the cabins rented through vrbo compared to the rates listed on the the property's own website. We definitely paid more than we needed to. My only complaint with the cabin itself is that the hot water smelled like rotten eggs. Pretty common for water heaters that aren't used frequently, as might be the case over the winter months, but the water heater probably needs to be flushed or disinfected or something. Other than that, we were very happy with the property. The cabin was cute and clean. Kitchen was adequately supplied with the usual slightly random assortment of cookware and utensils (7 colanders but no mixing bowl that I could find, for example), but that's part of the charm of cabin-ing and making do. We really enjoyed tromping around on the trails, and lingering by the beaver pond. Nice pine/birch forest with marked trails, and a wetland area with wooden walkways. The whole property was extremely quiet and peaceful. It's also located a short drive from a variety of locations once you've exhausted what's available right out the door (we spent one afternoon in Duluth, for example). I think we'll be back, but we'll know to book directly next time.

Not exactly what I thought

Check in was great as we were a late check in. Cabin was very cluttered, unorganized, and so many notes all over. Walking trails weren’t that great. There are 7 properties most can be viewed from cabin so you are not alone. Still not sure where the sauna is. It was a different experience. This cabin would be great for anyone who doesn’t mind clutter and staying by yourself.

Winter hikes.

We like the small cozy cottage feel. We would hike the trails every morning and again in the evening with our two dogs. We never met another person on the trails. Would end the night sitting by the fire place. Also enjoyed watching the birds at the bird feeder. Only bad part is finding out how much more expensive it was to book through VRBO.

Our vacation here was great! We loved the cozy cabin vibe and our cat had a great time too! The wood-fire stove was great to have and keep us nice and warm. Make sure to watch your head while walking around or your bump it on the spiral stairs. And if you’re tall you might have to duck to take a proper shower. Overall it was a great time!

Not What We Expected

It definitely was not what we expected. I did not do enough research or read the description well enough. That's on me. It was a bit run down, dirty and hot and humid inside. It had an odor to it. The A/C did not really work (one window unit blowing hot air). There was hair on the bathroom floor and the "screen in porch" was too small for two people to fit in. Also, the screen was torn and had holes so it wasn't keeping any bugs out anyway. The spiral stair case went up to a loft in which there were two twin beds. It was a bit uncomfortable in this cabin.
