Clean, quiet, friendly! More than we expected; good appliances and appointments. Very nice setting on the Pine River, though at this time of year (July) it appears overgrown with wild rice.

Loved this little cabin on the river. I would definitely return. It was so peaceful and grounding. The river was gentle flowing and clear . The loudest sound was the frogs. The cabin was spacious enough with all the amenities. The bed was extremely comfortable and sitting area cozy. Owners are kind and accommodating.

Quit and off the grid

I was in town for the weekend in between some independent contracting jobs. The cabins meet all the basic needs, are quiet, and come with the hosts sweet dogs to say hello.

Great place to stay

Went there for my 10 year anniversary with my girlfriend. It was just as listed. Great little cabin right on the river. Was an amazing weekend getaway with great views and just plain relaxing. Easy to take the kayaks out onto the river also. The owners were also really friendly and cool people. The cabin was as clean as I would expect a cabin. Had everything we needed as well. Overall it was a great place to stay and we will most likely stay there again.

Was a great first time VRBO experience. Area is beautiful, and the owners are very nice and responsive. One thing that kinda turned us off tho was how loud the furnace was. Woke up fairly often bc of it. But overall was a lot of fun and would recommend.

Quiet Paradise

Nestled in the pines along the river, the cabin was wonderful. The view was great. The cabin was perfect for our needs. Close to town for easy access to great dining and sight-seeing. The hosts were top-notch, friendly, and accessible. Nora, the family dog was so sweet. All in all, a really great place! I would recommend it and i will go back.

kayaking haven

All of our activities revolved around kayaking. The first afternoon/evening we kayaked to Pine River City (downstream - less than 1 hour; coming back - approx 1 hour); had a wonderful dinner and kayaked back. The next day we did a light kayak in the morning upstream followed by going back to Pine River City to hike the Paul Bunyan Trail. Never once did we use our car the entire time there. Perfect for us!
