Cozy Cabin
We take a trip for Christmas instead of doing gifts, and this year we decided to book in Minnesota hoping for a good snow. The cabin was beaufitul and stayed warm! We didnt have snow like we had hoped for, but there are tons of attractions close by!!! Some pictures show the river with chairs and i will say that its a very short walk! Keep left at the fork on the trail and you will see it, but the river is extremely low! We enjoyed our stay and found that prior travelers left notes in a book. We left our story as well. Along with items left for others to enjoy, as they did for us. The only small issue we came across was the water pressure for the washing machine. The owner quickly responded to my message with a call and we talked about how the hot water worked better than cold. It is well water and we were understanding. No biggie!! We got all our clothes washed. I would highly recommend staying here!! Its well insulated and i loved the dimmable lights. Wifi worked great and i had access to every kitchen item i needed when i cooked throughout the week. There was one burner that didnt get hot (the large one) but it didnt stop me from cooking! I really liked the decorations chosen throughout the cabin. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment here and will definitely return in the future!trail

Good place to gather with friends or family
A family gathering to celebrate Karen's 80th B'day. a nice place to gather for an Elder party. The weather varied from light rain to muggy hot. No complaints except barking large dogs and description in listing does not accurately describe the property. Lots of parks and museums to visit and take walks. All in all a good time.

Fantastic!
Everything was great! It was a perfect setup for my family (parents and kids ages 17, 19, and 21). Everybody had plenty of space and it was just so relaxing for us to get away together and "hang" for a few days. Thanks for the perfect space for a mini "family reunion" for us all to reconnect before the school year starts again!

Kettle River cabin
The cabin is very well decorated in the Northwoods style, and well equipped. The grass was mowed each week. Of course, as the cabin is in the woods, there are lots of mosquitoes outside so bug spray is needed!! Two dark domestic bunnies were often in the yard but the neighbors dogs barely annoyed us. There is no walking access to the River from the cabin but you can drive to the river 1/2 mile away. Hinckley is a nice quiet town with a small good grocery store.

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.
