Great Getaway
The property was a delight. It is nestled in the trees, with great trails and is nice and quiet. It's easy to get to and close to 35W. The pictures depict the property perfectly and the kitchen has everything you need to cook.

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.

Thanks for a great stay!
I had a very laid back, comfortable and enjoyable stay. The property is just as described, is very clean, and nicely updated. The kitchen is very well stocked, and the entire place had everything I needed. The trails and fun outdoor fire pits were a nice bonus. As others have noted, the neighbors have a bunch of dogs that will come visit you (and bark a lot anytime you're outside). They are friendly, and my dog looked forward to their visits. But if you have a small dog or a dog that doesn't get along with other dogs, you will want to be more careful. But my dog loved playing in the yard with his new friends.

Girls get-away
Stayed here for a girls get-away, long weekend. Inside the cabin was great! Very clean and accommodating. Beds were comfortable however there were flannel sheets on them and im not a fan. Items were pretty well stocked except a few things. We couldnt find one washcloth and had to go buy some. Outside was a little less impressive. There were 3 hornets above the main entrance door. We couldnt use that door. Side door was fine. There are pictures in the description that show a firepit and chairs around it, looking over the bluff. That firepit is a good 10 minute walk down a mostly cleared path. Pretty, yes. But not ideal to sit around a fire at night. You would have to haul everything you need down there. Maybe a sign at the start of the path behind the cabin stating how far you need to walk. That being said, there is another nice firepit in the yard. We had to bring chairs from the patio table over but it worked out nice. Tons of firewood provided!! Many other reviews mentioned the neighbor dogs. They never did come in the yard but they do bark a lot! Super sad, because anytime we drove by, they were all just tied up in the yard. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Cozy Place
Although we did not spend much time here during our trip, we did enjoy this home. Very cozy. Loved the open floor plan. The bedrooms provided more than enough room to accommodate us all. Wish i could of taken advantage of the jacuzzi tub but not enough time.

Great Stay
Was a great area to stay in, place was clean and had plenty of amenities. Only thing would be the neighbors (Which you cant see.) Has dogs that will bark for a while if you are outside and they hear you.
