I came to MN on a work contract, but the hotels in Bemidji were 100% booked for graduation week, so I had to look outside of the area to stay for my first week in MN. The closest lodging was here, about 30 minutes from Bemidji in a rural area. Jim, the host, was incredibly accommodating. He offered to pick me up from the airport because the rental car companies were closed at that late hour, and also arranged for someone to drive me back to the airport the next morning so I could pick up my rental car! My situation was unique, so I really appreciate the hospitality. I was able to order an Instacart delivery before I arrived, so I had supplies for me and my cat until I was able to do a grocery shop for myself. The cabin is definitely on the rustic, simple side, but has pretty much what you'd need for your stay, like a toaster, microwave, etc. The water is sketchy, so bring your own drinking water. The location is great for being close to Itasca State Park for recreation, and checking out the Mississippi headwaters. -- Sara K.
