Cozy cabin with all the essentials. Great location with proximity to trails along the Beaver Bay / Silver Bay portion of the North Shore. Cabin is not on Lake Superior, and far enough away from Hwy 61 that you do not hear the road much. Easy walk from cabin to Gitchi Gami bike trail. Cute barrel sauna, very clean cabin, easy instructions to enter and check out.

Great location between State Parks on the North Shore and fun selection of games and books for my family of 5. My kids thought the sauna was cool and also enjoyed exploring the grounds a little.Overall good stay, but there were a couple of not so positive items. First, the comforter in the master bedroom had a weird stain which was a little disturbing. Second, I think there were mice or something similar in the wall. Maybe that is to be expected for a rustic cabin in the woods, but thought it was worth mentioning.

This was the perfect place for us to stay! We appreciated being able to have a long weekend vacation to stay with our dogs at a time the colors are optimal. It was very easy to travel around the North Shore both north and south. The amenities were great and make it a nice place to stay year round. We hope to be able to stay again!

A nice north shore escape

Our stay was fabulous!! Melissa is a great host and very responsive. Great clean space with accommodating features. The proximity to town and trails is so convenient. The property has land to explore and a great lookout spot! And the sauna was the cherry on top! Feeling totally recharged and refreshed! Thank you!

Cute cabin, beautiful area

The cabin is beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed for our few days. The only problem we encountered was the sauna was not working, which was a huge draw for choosing the cabin for a winter trip and we never heard anything back after reaching out about it.. Even still, the location was fantastic and we'd consider another stay in the future.

Communication from the manager and owner made everything easy - including finding the house at night, and getting inside. The kitchen has the pots and pans that we needed, and even an electric griddle. The living room has comfy couches and room to relax. Awesome location!

Nice cabin, great location

We had a very nice stay at the cabin--the woodwork is truly amazing and fun to look at. We loved the fireplace, kitchen, and comfy master bed. The second bedroom is up a set of (super cool but) uneven steep stairs, so know if that works for your party before booking.Do note that this stay is listed as pet friendly but after booking, in the house rules, you are told that dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms, on any carpet or furniture. While these are certainly reasonable asks, disclosure prior to booking would have been useful. fri3bdlyfriendly, but
