The cutest log cabin! Thank you for having everything that we could possibly need! We enjoyed both fire pits, Blackstone grill, the huge yard, cornhole game, etc. Beds were comfortable and walk-in shower was able to accommodate my uncle that uses a walker. Plenty of space for the 8 of us that stayed there. Highly recommend! *Note that the maximum amount of people is 15 at one time, so even though it’s a big house with a lot of land, you aren’t really able to have any sort of family reunion or party there unless it’s under that limit. Also had to put trash bags in car and drive to the bins at the end of the driveway.

If you’re thinking about booking this place - just do it!

I cannot say enough praise about the Log House. The owners have put a lot of time, thought, and effort into making this a beautiful, relaxing destination. The house is practically in the middle of nowhere surrounded by beautiful scenery. The grounds are meticulously maintained and if you think the pictures in the listing are too good to be true … if anything, the opposite is true. The pictures don’t do it justice. If I had a vacation home, this would be it. Bravo!

Without a doubt, the Log House was the best vacation home I've ever rented, and I've been renting vacation homes on and off since the early 1990s! The house is well-designed, furnished very tastefully, and well stocked with kitchen cookware and utensils. The property grounds are spectacularly planted and immaculately maintained. But the best part about the Log House is the Owner/Host, Hege, who was very timely in responding to my inquiries and extremely helpful with my requests. All in all, the Log House was the very best vacation rental I have ever had. I hope to rent the Log House again and highly recommend it I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to rent a rural vacation home that is beautiful in all respects!

Amazing Place!

Stunningly gorgeous place. So comfortable and adorably decorated. The house had everything you need for an enjoyable stay and more. The place is on lovely land with walking trails. The place is perfect for a large family or for a friends getaway. Highly recommend this cabin. I plan on renting it again with the same group I went with plus rent it again a different time and bring others.

Beautiful Home in the Woods

The beautiful log home worked so well for a group of 8 adults on a mid-winter long weekend getaway. We spent hours in the light-filled sunporch and enjoyed morning walks on the wooded trails. FYI--the 2nd floor of the house has a spacious bathroom with just a tub--no shower. However the second bathroom on main floor worked well for those wanting a shower.

Family Holiday Retreat

Our family traveled from Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia, to visit my oldest daughter and grandchildren in St Cloud, MN. The log house met all my expectations, it was stocked with everything a family would need in a house, very clean, spacious and not to mention beautiful. The owners were very easy to communicate with. I definitely will book the house on my next visit!

Log House Luxury

The Log House felt palacial and homey at the same time. The prperty is well maintained and the atmosphere created by the mix of gardening and nature of the country was seamlessly combined. The Log house was tastefully decorated and provided all the comforts of home with the feeling of getting away. My friends and I were able to comfortly and effortly enjoy time together in a clean and comfortable space, create food for one another, laugh, dance, relax together with the space that also provided for private night sleep and down time in our extremely comfortable beds!

Staying with family for a wedding

This is a stunning home that was immaculate and inviting! We stayed for our daughter's wedding. There were 3 couples and two single people, and so we needed 5 bedrooms. The only odd thing is that one "bedroom" is really in a sort of hallway, and you need to walk through that room to get to the 5th bedroom. It was a gorgeous place. I wish we had longer to stay!
