Ratings and reviews
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2024
The cabin was great - rustic, of course. A couple problems w/cleanliness - two beds hadn't had the sheets changed (used the washer/dryer that was available) and a few dishes were put away not completely clean even though the dishwasher did a great job. The hot tub was not available and the Gazebo had mouse droppings. The dock also needs work along with the back stairs. No AC wasn't a problem because there are plenty of windows for a steady breeze. Rained all one day but there were plenty of games to play. Fire pit area was great but, because of the rain, we didn't use it. Sauna was also great. Overall, a good experience and, if they make the few improvements, we would go again.

This is THEE place you want to stay if you want the best of cabin experiences, views, and close proximity to Itasca State Park! The cabin comes with everything you need and tons of ambiance. The cabin is very spacious with with a main master bed on the main floor with master bath, as well, as an additional half bath. In addition, there is a 4-season heated porch with 2 more single beds with couches to also lounge on to enjoy the amazing views.
The kitchen is spacious and the table can seat 8. The views from the deck odd the kitchen were wonderful and where we spent a lot of time, there is also a table for 6 outside and 3-burner nice sized gas grill that we used without issue.
3 bedrooms are located on the basement level where you will find a full bath with steam shower, sauna and walk out door to the hot tub over looking the lake! There is also a washer and dryer. The beds were all very comfortable and we slept extremely well.
Outside, you can take the path down to Island Lake and go to the left for a short walk to the dock and gazebo with 2 beds and working stone fireplace where you can enjoy the sunsets or make s'mores in the stone bonfire area! The sunsets are amazing and we enjoyed many from the dock. We did not have a boat with us, so please review other reviews on this subject nor did we swim in the lake. Just beyond the gazebo is the Cat Nap Shack where 2 more can sleep, note there is no running water at the gazebo or shack but there is a small fridge. Wetayed 5 nights here and loved it and will be back again!
Note: If you plan to go to Itasca State Park be sure to these things for sure:
1) Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center, we wished we had done this first as there is so much to read about and learn with all the interactive exhibits. Really well done.
2) Be sure to take the Lake Itasca Boat Tour, we LOVED this.
3) Have lunch or dinner at Douglas Lodge for sure and the walk over to the Forest Inn store and for some more history.
4) Walk across the Mississippi on the large rocks and then go to the Mary Gibbs Mississippi Headwaters Center.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
We were disappointed by the lack of towels, washcloths and dishtowels. The towels that were there were Rattie and were very old. Downstairs had a dank smell and after running the dehumidifier, was better. The outbuildings described were quite a walk. we did bring water for coffee and drinking because previous reviews stated rusty water pressure in sinks was very low, however showers had pressure. Carpet was in dire need of cleaning, very dirty and spotted.
The good parts: new decking on main deck, however the stairs and lower deck were closed off due to rotting of deck boards. new patio furniture was nice. Beds were comfortable. We had a nice time though. We saw wildlife which was great! Probably would not rent again; sorry.
