My husband and I come here in October for the last 2 years and we love it! Scenic, quiet. The cabins are great. Last year we checked in late and our cabin was not clean. The owners provide us a townhouse for our stay for the price of our cabin. This customer service was unexpected and over/beyond what we expected!!!!! We will continue to come here annually.

8/09/2018 - Rented a small cabin three nights for a fall getaway with my girlfriend, mid October. It was everything we wanted. Cabin was really close to the water, cozy and warm. It was pretty adorable compared to other places on the Gunflint. Plenty of hiking trails and scenic overlooks close by. Great place to get away. No cell service, quiet, private, serene. Would definitely stay here again.

Hmmm. Bartender is very sarcastic. Cabins are nice. Private docks are fabulous. Lake is small but relaxing. Just saying.

7/31/2017 - We came up to snowmobile for my sister's birthday weekend and the snowmobile rental company had recommended them. There condo was to fit a family of 6! When we ran into complications they worked with my family and provided us with amazing customer service and helped my family out when we needed it the most. We will go back because they are amazing! Thank you so much, you really made our weekend.
