Updated Cabin on Sag
6 adults stayed to enjoy fishing on Sag and not worry about getting day use motor permits. it was a great cabin that has been updated. amazing views from the porch.
The host, Jessica, was very helpful and responsive.
Instructions on the cabin need to be updated. You do not need to take your garbage with you as listed. This was a bit of a shock because our car was loaded full and we would not have had room. Again Jessica took care of it without any issues.
Just a reminder that if you are going to fish and be exempt from the motor permit, you need to stop at the Grand Marias Ranger station before helping to the cabin.
Great place and would definitely stay there again.

Incredible weekend in my favorite area in the world
Had a low key weekend here with 10 of my best friends and it exceeded my expectations by a long shot! The cabin is beautiful and has an amazing view. Can be a bit crammed at the max group size but in addition to the beds upstairs, there are comfortable pullout couches and cots and plenty of space! Highly recommend swimming off the dock or bringing bags/cornhole and playing on the spacious deck.

The Pictures Don't Do it Justice
Becca and Robert's top of the trail cabin was the perfect mix of rustic views and modern comforts. The cabin sits atop a hill outlooking a lake which the pictures on the website don't do justice. The location was perfect for six professionals to disconnect from their work and just enjoy a weekend together. The directions are very clear for how to arrive to the cabin though it is a bit of a trek to approach which is no fault of the owners. Becca was very responsive to questions and issues that arose during out stay and they left clear, simple instructions for a no contact check out from the property.
This is an excellent location for a group of friends or a pair of couples to visit and get away for however long they need.

Up north getaway
We had a great experience in the north woods! Easy to get to, right off the gun flint trail. The host reached out via text a few days before arrival and communicated well with us. Great views from the house and deck. Very clear lake and warm water for September! Good fishing too. Modern amenities in the house!
Two dials on the stovetop were broken.

Beautiful!
Great stay and awesome location. The cabin was great but things seemed to need a little TLC. Also, there are only two actual bedrooms and we had 4 adults and 5 kids and it was a squeeze on beds etc. I wouldn’t recommend 14 people stay here. All in all though it was a magical location and the stay was great. Bekah the manager was so helpful and kind and sweet.

We had an absolute time staying at your cabin. We were so thankful that you were able to bring an air mattress for our group to use late on our second night staying there.
We would all love to come again in the future. Hopefully by then the mosquitos will have diminished some...loo
Thank you again for a beautiful stay.

Winter Wonderland
My family of four- including two elementary school kids (and our dog) had a wonderfully relaxing time in this stunning log cabin. The views of Sag Channel from the cliff-top windows were breathtaking and its close proximity to the deep, northern woods made for some excellent x-country skiing and snowshoeing. We followed some otter tracks across the frozen lake- magical! We ramped up the cozy-factor in the cabin with daily fires in the fireplace (and also outside on the patio), snuggly reading nooks by the windows, and lots of hot cocoa. Bekah was wonderfully kind and quick to communicate. I highly recommend this property!

Bliss at end of Gunflint Trail
This idyllic cabin has terrific views overlooking a stretch of Lake Saganaga. One reason we chose this place is because this is a dog friendly cabin and we like to travel with our furry friend. We snowshoed and xc-skied right out the back door. The Blueberry Hill trail has great views from the top! We ice fished nearby lakes and caught several trout. The grill on deck was perfect for preparing a fresh trout dinner. While ice fishing, a moose popped out on lake, walked across to other side, and grazed branches as it walked down the shoreline until it was out of sight. Surreal. The host that lives just down the hill was delightful and helpful when we had questions about the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous modern cabin
This modern cabin has all the bells and whistles and yet sits on the edge of one of the wildest and most untouched landscapes. The cabin was better than pictured, the management was extremely easily to communicate with and our stay was unparalleled. It was so wonderful to stay so close to the BWCA, the short paddle into it was magical. We typically camp in the BWCA but since having young children we’ve had to settle for the day paddle, but this gorgeous cabin situated at the top of the Gunflint made us feel like we got the best of both worlds; the commune with wilderness combined with the modern convenience for our little! We will be back!

All about the location
The location of this property is amazing, located at the end of the Gunflint you get the peacefulness we all need and no cell service (the vrbo does have wifi). The lake was really nice to swim and paddleboard in. Tried fishing off the dock but no luck.
The inside is very spacious and has great views from the kitchen. We spent most of our time down on the dock, in the kitchen or on the patio area. There is some maintenance that needs to be done, but you have to remember you're coming up to the Gunflint trail just off the BWCA so it's going to be a little more on the rustic side with lots of use. One tip though would be to bring your own beach towels and camping/foldable chairs for down by the dock. We will be back!
