Amazing Getaway
This cabin was the perfect weekend getaway. The setting is magnificent and the hosts were phenomenal. It was really nice to have access the the kayaks on the property, which we promptly took advantage of after our arrival. The deck and dock are both lovely places to sit and enjoy nature. Our short stay was great and we will be back!!! Thanks again!!

Perfect Week
A little piece of serenity which allows you to enjoy the beauty of MN. We enjoyed kayaking right from the property each day, watching/listening to the wildlife and had delicious pizza at Zorbas on Gull. It was fun to see the blooming lily pads and vegetation at this time of the year. Eric is a great host!
