This cabin was the perfect combination of rustic and modern, remote but close to everything you need. Check-in/out was a breeze. The rooms were all comfortable and very quiet - I slept well here. The host thought of just about everything - movies, board games, books, spices, cookware... you name it. Our favorite time was sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the birds - we didn't see any deer in the yard during our short stay, but we say plenty just up the road on our way in, along with a pair of bald eagles that flew right in front of our car and landed in a tree next to the road. Next time we're up this way, we'll definitely be up for booking again.

Cozy Cabin

We take a trip for Christmas instead of doing gifts, and this year we decided to book in Minnesota hoping for a good snow. The cabin was beaufitul and stayed warm! We didnt have snow like we had hoped for, but there are tons of attractions close by!!! Some pictures show the river with chairs and i will say that its a very short walk! Keep left at the fork on the trail and you will see it, but the river is extremely low! We enjoyed our stay and found that prior travelers left notes in a book. We left our story as well. Along with items left for others to enjoy, as they did for us. The only small issue we came across was the water pressure for the washing machine. The owner quickly responded to my message with a call and we talked about how the hot water worked better than cold. It is well water and we were understanding. No biggie!! We got all our clothes washed. I would highly recommend staying here!! Its well insulated and i loved the dimmable lights. Wifi worked great and i had access to every kitchen item i needed when i cooked throughout the week. There was one burner that didnt get hot (the large one) but it didnt stop me from cooking! I really liked the decorations chosen throughout the cabin. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment here and will definitely return in the future!trail

Great hideaway!

Thoroughly enjoyed being tucked away in the woods! I had hoped to cross country ski on nearby trails while my teenagers slept, but the weather didn’t cooperate. We still all enjoyed our stay!

This was my second time staying here. Love this cabin! Lots of amenities to use and the host is very responsive and accommodating. I have brought my cats both times. The AC works great, we use the grill on site. And there’s lots dishes and things to use in the kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

Good place to gather with friends or family

A family gathering to celebrate Karen's 80th B'day. a nice place to gather for an Elder party. The weather varied from light rain to muggy hot. No complaints except barking large dogs and description in listing does not accurately describe the property. Lots of parks and museums to visit and take walks. All in all a good time.

Fantastic!

Everything was great! It was a perfect setup for my family (parents and kids ages 17, 19, and 21). Everybody had plenty of space and it was just so relaxing for us to get away together and "hang" for a few days. Thanks for the perfect space for a mini "family reunion" for us all to reconnect before the school year starts again!

Kettle River cabin

The cabin is very well decorated in the Northwoods style, and well equipped. The grass was mowed each week. Of course, as the cabin is in the woods, there are lots of mosquitoes outside so bug spray is needed!! Two dark domestic bunnies were often in the yard but the neighbors dogs barely annoyed us. There is no walking access to the River from the cabin but you can drive to the river 1/2 mile away. Hinckley is a nice quiet town with a small good grocery store.

Must be okay with dogs

The cabin intself feels spacious and clean. The kitchen/dining area is updated and perfect for entertaining if you have a group. Only 2 of the 4 burners on the stove worked when we were here. The large table was perfect for playing games. No issues working the TV. We didn't make a fire but there are several places on property with wood conveniently stacked nearby. There's a nice loop through the woods you can walk to overlook the river. We had no interest in the casino but you are only a few miles from it. We ended up taking an easy day trip to Duluth one of our days. Our main negative takeaway isn't exactly in the host's control, but did make a large impact on the trip. I think it is a must know for some people: At least 3 dogs from 2 neighbors were on site for a large portion of our stay. We found fresh dog poo just off the porch and by our car after our first night. The dogs were consistently present anytime we left/arrived with the car. Initially, it was challenging to unload our car and get inside because they were jumping at our doors/windows and barking. The dogs also tried to follow us into the cabin. They would return in the evening and bark through the windows, which could be quite startling and a bit eerie. Made our trip unduly stressful. Normally, I love dogs but their owners were never in sight and they jumped and barked a lot. Overall, I would say they were friendly enough but at 8 months pregnant and with ice this made me nervous anytime we went outside.
