"We came to the Northwoods of Minnesota to walk across the Mississippi River. We wanted to stay in a house that was quiet, yet close enough to make getting around easy. This house was big, inviting, clean and well-appointed (at least 25 towels in the bathroom, and they're brown so no one has to worry about makeup!!). There were 5 of us and a baby, and everyone had their own room with their own bed. The closets were full of big, fluffy, blankets in case someone got cold while they were sleeping. The house is pet-friendly (we don't have pets) and it was clean and didn't smell like leftover pets. The house is updated, including the kitchen, and made having meals together easy and enjoyable. The walk to the dock to watch the water and listen to the loons was relaxing and peaceful. We took a kayak across the lake. We sat out by the fire and watched the stars. We sat on the deck with our morning coffee to watch the fog lift. It was the perfect spot for a quick little getaway. About the only thing we didn't do was play in the sandbox (there is a sandbox for the kiddos!!)."

NEW Cozy 2-bedroom cabin in delightful Lake George/Laporte with WiFi and AC
10/10 Excellent
"Very beautiful property. Loved the firepit. Very clean inside huge dinner table for board games, very nice appliances. We loved the proximity to several state parks."
"This was our 3rd stay at the Hilton Tilton. First stay though in several years. Several upgrades had been made and the place keeps getting better. Caught several walleyes and Northerns off the dock. Really enjoyed the kayak and used the paddle boat. Fired up the wood fired sauna several times for a good sweat and at night we relaxed in the hot tub. Outhouse was very clean and did not detect any bad odors. Weather was perfect for our stay. Check in and out was very smooth. We will be back for a 4th time in the future. Great location and great lake for activities. "
