It was really good. Could use some rails around the steps to get in and out up and down.
Had a little problems getting up on the deck and in the house and there should be a hamper in the bathroom for the dirty towels so we don’t have to lay them on the floor just idea but we had a good time

Perfect Getaway
My wife and I stayed here for three nights. We loved the time to unwind and relax. The cabin has a rustic feel but has modern amenities. 100% recommend staying here. Evenings around the camp fire and mornings in the sauna. beautiful property and enjoyable time. Close enough to Brainerd but far enough to feel like you are out in nature.

Fantastic property and hosts
Highly recommend!!! This property was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The location made us feel very remote and secluded, but was close to great parks for hiking, amenities of Brainerd and great horseback riding 5 minutes away. The property is incredibly well appointed with all the things we could want, it’s very quaint and the nice little touches by the hosts was great appreciated. Communication from the hosts was awesome and very timely.

Log cabin charm with great ammenities
The cabin was great. While being small, it is very comfortable. 2 living rooms and 2 bedrooms. The owners did a great job making sure that everything you may need is there. They did a great job of combining old log home feel with very nice modern updates.

Golf Getaway
Small group of guys stayed on the property while golfing the Brainerd Lakes Area. The cabin was perfect location to all of the courses we played. The communication was perfect, asked for an early checking, and while they had guests leaving the morning of our check-in, they made sure we were able to get in a little early to drop our gear before heading to the course. The cabin was clean, neat, very comfortable and have everything needed to enjoy a weekend away. I was impressed with the amount of cooking utensils, pans, cutting boards, etc. I will 100% book this property again, very soon.

Best little log cabin in the woods
We needed a quiet place for us and our little dog over 4th of July and it was perfect. The cabin was fitted out and furnished very nicely with what is necessary for a comfortable stay. If we had a question the host provided a prompt response. We will book there again.

Northern vacation
My family plus my corgi enjoyed our week of resting at this lovely quiet cabin. We went to three state parks close to the cabin. We enjoyed the fire pit, the sauna and walking along the road next to the property. And the stars at night were easy to see from the front yard. I especially loved sitting on the front porch in the rocking chair as my corgi sniffed along the edges of the forest.

Cabin living in luxury
FANtastic!!! Great hospitality from hosts, incredibly comfortable and well-appointed cabin. So many little details from welcome basket to sauna to firepit with kindling and lighter... everything so well thought out. Animal friendly but with no sign of another animal every staying there - except the host provided special towels, clean up bags, and even a set of dishes for the canine - again it was impeccable hosting for everyone. Will definately be on a shortlist of places to visit again.
