Enjoy the stay

We really enjoyed our 2-day stay here. April is such a great host. Great communication. She addressed our questions promptly. She was so sweet to get life jackets for us since I asked about canoe other reviewer mentioned. We found everything we need and more except wifi and phone/text coverage. No coverage ended up to be the blessing for us with my 2 college kids. We spent our time talking, cooking, taking turn on massage chairs, and the highlight is canoeing on the river in the back of the house. We would go to International City to get grocery after visiting national park and checking emails/getting on internet/making phone calls and texts there before coming back to house to cook dinner and hang out. I highly recommend staying here! Thank you, April!

April is an amazing host, she made us feel more than welcome. She made us bagels on our arrival and left treats for our pup. The massage chair and tanning bed are relaxing especially if the weather is bad. If you love the outdoors with a few modern amenities this is the place.

Sweet cabin loaded with love

The owner of this property is clearly a sweetie pie, and also a consummate host because the amenities, the extra touches and the lovely notes she left around the cottage certainly conveyed that impression. There were biscuits and a dog bed laid out for the pup, ingredients to make s’mores (including brand new marshmallow toasting sticks), toiletries of all kinds and every kind of spice, kitchen appliance, condiment and creature comfort we could possibly need. The property sits right next to a highway which has so little traffic on it that I don’t think we heard three cars go by all night. There is also a train track nearby, and three or four trains past during our stay, but it was charming and nostalgic to hear the train whistle as it went by. It was certainly not a problem in any way! we were just sorry not to have the opportunity to meet our host and thank her in person for both her generosity and her thoughtfulness. A great stopover spot on our trip north to Canada.

Seriously, just so nice!

We really loved our stay at the cabin! We felt so welcome and at home, we didn't mind having to stay because of the rain. Literally anything we needed was provided! Its in a great location! Not too far from International Falls, but also close enough to Kabetogama to make it an easy drive. April, you knocked it out of the park for us! This was the break we needed to recharge and remotivate. Thank you so much!!

Very comfortable and would stay again

We stayed four nights on our trip to Voyageurs National Park. This location was perfect for day trips to all three visitor centers where we departed on our boat tours. As a bonus the Rat Root River is in the backyard! There was a Wilderness canoe and paddle boat provided for our use. We took the canoe out as soon as we unpacked. Our trip exploring this river was beautiful and peaceful. We took the greatest picture of a beaver lodge on our second canoe trip. The unit was very cozy and welcoming. It was supplied with everything you could possibly need. The host reached out to us several times to ask whether we needed anything. She was always available. There is a train track nearby and to us that added to the charm. We were very comfortable and would stay again.
