Year-Round

15 minutes from Itasca State Park and Bemidji. Our place allows you to be yourself, let loose, and have your privacy. The following highlights our unique lodging & property.

CABIN LODGING: Our cabin is a gem, built on stilts in the canopy of the pines like a tree house. Custom carpentry and bathroom design. This beauty sleeps up to 6, has a fireplace, full kitchen stocked with all the cooking and eating utensils you need, we provide all linens, a personal firepit area enclosed in boulders, free firewood, free use of our boats, a BBQ, flexible check in/out times, and so many other finishing touches like coffee, birdseed, toiletry basket, books, movies, etc. Open in the dead of Winter too, with snowmobile trail access. ATVs & pets are welcome at our resort.

RV/TENT SITES: Each site has its own view (not just your neighboring RV), is set on huge sites with water and electric hookup (50/30/20 amp). There is a firepit, picnic table, free firewood, free RV dump, and free boat use with your stay. We have primitive sites by the lake too. ATV's & pets welcome.

OUTDOOR VENUE: We terraced a huge hill and wrapped it in boulder walls, put a gorgeous staircase up the center of the hill and a pavilion at the top overlooking a stage and bonfire/BBQ area. There is plenty of power for bands to hook up, we made sure of that:) We'll build bonfires for parties/fests, many tables available, room for vendors and tents too.

THE PROPERTY- 200 acres of forests, trails, a lake/creek (great fishing), stone/boulder landscaping throughout, mossy forest floors, lots of animals, on the snowmobile trail, hunting available, wedding venue, great for family reunions come and explore! There are many things to do in the area: strawberry farm, Mississippi Headwaters, swimming beaches, Bemidji events/shows/pubs. . kayaks, canoe, oar boats and a paddle boat- we have life jackets and fishing gear to borrow in case you forget. fantastic stargazing, walks, or hop on something with a motor.
