A River Runs Through It

Ok, so the mighty Crown Creek is not a river but the power of the rapids cascading through this property truly is mesmerizing. This 10.5 acre property consists of a one bedroom and one bathroom log cabin over-looking the Crown Creek. Trout fishing in both the Crown Creek and the adjoining Baptism River is excellent. The log cabin was just COMPLETELY renovated and everything in it is brand new. Quartz counter-tops and a copper sink highlight the new kitchen. Please view the YouTube link for more. Snowmobile and ATV trails are accessible right from the property with no need to trailer. End your night with a bonfire and smores overlooking Crown Creek in your own private setting. Please note that there is a security camera on the outside of the property.

The cabin is really nice. It's a peaceful place to stay and convenient base for North Shore day trips. It's about 3 miles into Finland and the convenient Finland Coop is a nice place for picking up miscellaneous grocery items. We at Our Place in Finland and had a good non-fancy supper and breakfast there. Best bet is to bring your own food for a meal at the cabin though. The section of the creek running by the cabin is gorgeous and the creekside deck is a perfect place to enjoy it in nice weather. The cabin was very comfortable and spacious for two people.

Interior of the cabin is nice and open, with a lovely kitchen & bathroom. Outside features a fire pit, screened-in gazebo, and lounging area close to the river. Absolutely gorgeous location, and secluded from other buildings. My wife and I loved our stay!

The property was in great condition, very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. It rained a good part of our stay, so mostly stayed on site. But the covered gazebo was perfect for reading and lounging, and as an avid bird watcher I enjoyed walking around the property, as there are so many birds in the trees! It is close to plenty of state parks, and Dave provided a good list of things to do. Very close to a general store in Finland if you are short on supplies. The creek running through was gorgeous, and definitely is impressive in person. Would absolutely stay again!

Quiet and nice location.

Nice location, very secluded and quiet would stay again with some changes. Upon arriving first thing we noticed was the camera which is understandable for security, but it was not noted on listing and it was in a position that could clearly see inside the cabin as there were no blinds. Kind of creepy honestly. The second problem was I rented this place for the stream access. Upon walking down by the stream they had a fence up you could not go through….making the stream completely inaccessible. Again, things like this should be noted on description as it’s very misleading and would’ve changed my mind about renting the place.Property was clean and has everything you need. I did have to tether off my WiFi hotspot to watch TV. Depending on your service this may not be an option for other folks, so that is something to keep in mind.

Camera right outside the window clearly line of sight of inside.

Dave's cabin was fantastic, again. We have stayed several times, and will continue to come back. The property is secluded, and has a great view. We loved sitting on the deck, around the fire and playing games in the gazebo.

Peaceful Getaway

This place is relaxing, clean and comfortable. The sound of rushing water from Crown Creek is nothing short of therapeutic. It's in easy reach of Lake Superior or head the other direction and enjoy the quiet forest. If you plan on grilling, you'll need to bring a portable grill, as the grill is unusable. No tv channels, but who cares.

The cabin was nice and we liked that it was next to water. There are just a few things that we weren't impressed with. When we arrived the driveway wasn't plowed and the deck wasn't shoveled. As much as we paid for 2 nights I would think this would be done. Another thing is that the security camera that is outside of the house is setup to where you can see it inside the house.. If you can see the camera the camera can see you. So if you walk out of the bedroom naked, they are going to see you. As a suggestion invest in some blinds for the kitchen sink window and semi-sheer curtains for the picture window. It was nice looking out the picture window, but not when the sun was going down. The sun will blind you. Positive notes are the bed was pretty comfy, it is updated and it was nice with the gas fireplace.

north shore visit

the only hold up was the code to get into the cabin was in an attachment sent but with cell service it would not download on site. vrbo service helped us with getting the code so not a big deal.could use some new pots and pans! the road going into the woods could be better marked. it was nice that there was amostion light near the cabin for late night arrivals. very cozy and comfortable!
