Stayed three nights. Place was easy to find with directions off of phone. Arrived and was blown away by this cabin. Beautiful home, well appointed and beautifully decorated.
Everything was clean and neat and ready for our stay. Nice touches like the play room for our 2 1/2 year old was an unexpected and welcome treat.
Overall this is the best VRBO I’ve ever stayed in.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The house is beautiful and well maintained. The communication with the owners was excellent. They even checked in on us when there was a storm one evening. The property was off the beaten path, but still close enough to downtown Hayward to grab necessities and groceries. It was a great trip!

Very nice, modern cabin. In a great spot, far enough out of town for solitude, but close enough that no place seems like a long drive.

We had a wonderful long getaway weekend at Mark and Jamie’s cabin. Lovely! We enjoyed the large, rustic three season porch; the sauna; large kitchen for cooking in; comfortable beds; and a cozy living room! Plus a fire pit in the back for a bonfire and drinks. An added bonus was the fox that made their den at the end of the driveway—fun to watch the pups pounce around! Would definitely come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed this clean, cute cabin! The cross-country ski trails right out the door were phenomenal. The cabin was tucked in a quiet forest and was so peaceful. We enjoyed the barrel sauna as well. Would definitely stay here again.

This home was wonderful. My 15 yr old said this is a home he would want to buy when he's on his own.
Set back in a wooded area, not too close to neighbors. The kids had fun exploring the woods which they don't get to do often in the city. I would definitely stay here again.
5.0
Great house. Great location. Great for riding bikes on gravel roads and MTB single track trails. 1st floor of this house is amazing. Beautiful 3 season room with fireplace and dining table. House is super clean. Very nice location to "just relax" in the woods. My only "small" issue was the ceiling height in the "master" bedroom. My wife and I both hit our heads several times on the sloped ceiling. But I still give the property 5 stars. I would consider returning next year and recommend.

A group of four men stayed at the property for the race weekend. This property is exceptionally well maintained and decorated. It was very cold on Saturday morning of the race (-13 degrees Fahrenheit at 7 AM) and we were quite warm and toasty in the property's bed. Alas, we did make it to the race and rode in the cold.
The three-season porch is absolutely amazing and I wish we could have hung out there with its own fireplace. We were able to have fires in the main fireplace both nights. The main fireplace is easy to operate and has a temperature controlled fan to circulate air through the fireplace system. It can throw a good amount of heat with just a log or two burning.
This property is very close to other XC skiing and MTB/fat biking trails in the Seeley area. If you like those sports, this property is perfect for you. I hope to come back to this property with my wife and adult children during more favorable seasons to enjoy the three season porch and sauna. Mark and Jamie were very communicative during our stay. Super hosts. Highly recommend this property.

What a great getaway for our girl's weekend! This is a fabulous house, so many places to gather. We didn't use the fireplaces this time, but definitely think this is a unique feature. I did a few of my runs on the back roads, so peaceful. Thank you Matt and Jamie for your superb hospitality.

Lovely Cabin
We enjoyed the cabin very much. It was comfortable & well appointed. Only 2 concerns. A sign at the door asked us to not wear shoes it the cabin. This should be mentioned in the VRBO listing so we can decide if want to book or not. Also, telling us to keep the heat at 70 is a bit unreasonable, especially when it was quite cool during the first few days of our stay.
Other than those 2 things, we had a great time & would recommend this cabin to others. Just bring your slippers!

Amazing Cozy Cabin in the Woods
Cute and cozy, this little house was as welcoming as the hosts of this property. Tastefully decorated, this cabin had everything we needed, and felt like home away from home. Hosts responded instantly to any questions we had. Clean and conveniently located - definitely ranks as one of our favorite places to stay!

A Northwoods Hideaway
This is a very beautiful home surrounded by woods. Private back roads with just a few houses is perfect for a walk or bike ride. The backyard is very quiet and still. We very much enjoyed the fire pit. Our daughter especially liked the little girls room. It was perfect just what we were hoping for. Owners were beyond nice and helpful too.

Beautiful property, wonderful stay
My wife and I have a winter anniversary so we take winter trips and our 30th couldn’t have better. Beautiful property and a great location. The house has everything you need and very clean, cozy with fully stocked kitchen for all of your cooking needs. We hiked some trail and went ice fishing and had a blast. We love outdoors and the house is located in a forest of tall pines. The setting is exactly what we were looking for. Local restaurants had great food we enjoyed several times. A short trip to Lake Superior and Duluth Minnesota, food and a casino. The owners were quick to respond to our questions which is wonderful when you’re in a new place. 5 stars all around, we would and most likely will stay here again in the summer and explore the national forests in the Northwoods.
Thank you for a wonderful stay for a great celebration!

Perfection in the Northwoods
Everything from making the reservation to checkout was perfect. Mark and Jamie have a beautiful cabin and we felt honored to call it home for a few days.
The cabin is well equipped and cozy - even in the coldest weather (it was -15 when we were there!).
The location is ideal for silent sports enthusiasts like us. We enjoyed the ski, bike and snowshoe trails which were all nearby.
We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing Nordic Race Weekend Stay
This was one of the nicest VRBO places we've ever stayed! Neat, clean, comfortable, spacious, well decorated, and fully stocked with everything we needed. Owners proactively communicated with us to ensure we had everything we needed. I can't say enough good things about our experience - we (and our friends) will be back! Thank you!

Very nice north woods cabin with fireplace and close access to snowshoeing, fat tire biking and cross-country trails. The cabin is very well set up for cooking, playing games while the fire is going. Very cozy! We really enjoyed the stay and would definitely go back again!
