Beautiful home, we loved our stay. It was very clean and cozy
Trail Runner Dream
by Douglas HawkinsAmazing spot. A trail runner's dream. Super quiet and private, beautiful crick running through the property, groomed trails through a huge plot of land. The cabin itself is lovely, very mellow, every need provided for. Exceptional rental, all-around. I would gladly rent again.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found it perfect for trail running. We look forward to welcoming you back for another exceptional experience.
Our four day stay was a great respite. The property is private and quiet…a wonderful place to find solitude and simple peace. The amenities were on point and reflected the listing information. We thoroughly enjoyed both indoor and outdoor fires. The wood available for purchase was at a reasonable cost was well seasoned. We spent a good deal of time on the front deck as well as the back porch, (depending on the direction of the wind.) We enjoyed walking the trails in the woods and the quiet dirt roads. We heard coyotes at night while star gazing, scared up several large grouse on our walks and observed a beaver working its way down the river. The starts were glorious! Our host was available and responded quickly to any inquiries. We definitely plan to return
My wife and I loved this beautiful and cozy cabin, especially the wood burning fireplace and Sonos speakers. Made for a perfect week away with just the right amount of space for the two of us. Great private lot with a gorgeous view.
We loved the cute and well maintained A-Frame. It was exactly what we were looking for. The host was very communicative and provided well though out and timely instructions. The seclusion and privacy was really great. We also appreciated the information about things to do and where to eat in the area.
Best Stay
by MaxMy wife and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary at the A-frame. It was exactly as everyone else said and more. The biggest plus being we were able to bring our two corgis with us. We loved walking the trails with them. I had no idea how much I would enjoy the privacy of the property. We already are looking to book again!
Lived up to Expectations
by PashI wish I would have booked a longer stay - even just another day. It was a beautiful sight driving up to the a-frame. Everything was neat and clean and looked just like it did in photos. We had great weather and decided not to lounge all day so took a short day trip to explore the area. I appreciated that the hosts were so detailed and communicative. Like everyone mentioned, enjoyed the screened in back porch where I could \"be\" outside without the bugs.
We needed a getaway into the woods after a stressful summer and the A-Frame was the perfect place to go. It was so quiet, cozy, and peaceful to be surrounded by nature. We loved the amenities and everything was incredibly clean, with thoughtful touches and helpful notes. It was so nice to receive a little welcome gift of local chocolate and coffee too. We spent the week enjoying the outdoors, grilling, rock-hunting in Duluth and Moose Lake, and ended with a wonderful round of mini-golf in Crosslake. Thank you so much for letting us share your wonderful home!
Quiet getaway
by CaliOur stay at River End was what we were hoping for- a secluded, truly quiet cabin. The screen porch is super helpful for enjoying the quiet with some bug protection. Hosts were responsive and we had no communication issues. Everything was clean and cared for. Flies were bad but that’s not a surprise for the area.
I booked the A-frame at River end for a solo few days getaway. The property was beautiful and the cabin had everything that I needed for a restful and relaxing stay. Although it rained the whole time I didn’t mind. I kept myself busy on the three season porch reading, writing and listening to the storms pass through. I plan to come back in the fall or winter so that I can explore the property around the river a bit more. Thank you so much for the lovely stay. I will definitely be returning.
We loved this beautiful cabin! Very secluded in the deep woods, we loved having coffee and listening to the birds. Loved everything about this place! We will be back!
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a beautiful cabin away from anything to distract you from the nature that surrounded you!
IT WAS AMAZING! the house the spotless when he arrive and had such a nice and relaxing stay we rebook again!
We escaped to the woods to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet. The A frame cabin was cozy and well appointed. The surrounding woods were so quiet. If you like to read it’s a perfect spot. The town of Emily has a fantastic meat market. Communication with host was super. Highly recommend it for a rest and reset.
Cozy cabin
by Amy BemelWe had a great time at the cabin. It is exactly as pictured, super cozy and cute. The kitchen had all the necessities for cooking/baking. We loved the indoor fire! Very clean spot which is always important.
It’s a great place for the price! Beautiful and peaceful surroundings, overall a good stay.
Such a perfect cabin. So beautiful, well made, and cozy. Felt secluded and private but not creepy. Such a nice place it really was refreshing coming in from nature. Lightning bug, owl calls, all sorts of lovelies. Bet this place is amazing in the winter too.
Beautiful space and surroundings. Clean cabin and friendly hosts. A great place to stay while visiting family in the area. Would recommend!
It was charming and cozy. Loved all the thoughtful details, the bridge over the river, the swing chair and the cute places to hang out.
We had a lovely time at the quiet cabin. I would highly recommend it. When you stay stop by Emily Meats and pick up some great food to grill!
Beautiful cabin. My daughter loved being there. Super peaceful and private!
Such a cute little getaway. We loved being able to sit and watch the wildlife right from the porch.
Such a special spot in the woods! Our dogs and us had a great time. Highly recommend to any couple looking to disconnect.
Immaculately clean and excellent communication! It was clear that they were dedicated to providing the best experience for my family and I.
Beautiful woods and water with great little hiking trails. So peaceful and private. Bonfire and wood was a bonus.
We had the most relaxing getaway to celebrate our anniversary! The cabin was perfect for the 2 of us, and equipped enough to cook all our meals (we did bring a crock pot for chili though). Thanks for much-needed peace & quiet in the woods 🙂
The cozy A-frame was the perfect romantic getaway for fall. The drive to the cabin was beautiful with all the fall colors popping and lakes shining. We will definitely be back!
Wonderful, Cozy A-frame, very peaceful
by DanHad a great time staying with my wife and our dog at this wonderful A-frame home and huge property. It felt private and interwoven with nature. Solid way to connect to the outdoors. Also, well ran and maintained. I recommend!
A lovely, private getaway at the Emily A Frame. Just as listed, this place is adorable, cozy and just right for a couple and their dog. We lazed the weekend away reading, walking, and relaxing - and managed a trip out to the nearby brewery for some local music, brews and food. All in all a 5 star find!
Amazing place. Great host. Highly recommend.
Exceeded our expectations. Super clean, small kitchen well stocked, secluded and quiet which is what we were looking for. AC worked well, kept the cabin cool (late August). Spent time on both the front and back deck, very peaceful. The loft bedroom was cute, bed was comfortable, stairs are a bit steep for older people. The 2 lounge chairs were great for reading or afternoon naps. Love that it was dog friendly. This is a great little hideaway to get away from it all. We will be back. Jay L. Andover MN
Simple yet Functional
by TonyaLoved our stay. It was myself, hubby and our 2 girls. We had lots of fun in and around the area as well as enjoyed our nights in snuggled on the couch. Only thing I would note is that there is a pull out trundle in the loft that I didn\'t know of, and the loft gets really warm on those sunny days. Once the sun went down, it cooled off pretty nicely. Oh!!! And my husband could not shut up about how comfy the bed was haha! Would definitely recommend and will stay again!
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the review Tonya:)
Beautiful, isolated location and a great space to get away to and just be.
Cozy A-frame
by RoxanaSpent my 30th birthday in this Gem! It was a well thought out property it has all of the essentials you’ll need. This is the perfect place to disconnect and have break from your busy everyday lives. My kids enjoyed playing board games & watching movies. WiFi is super fast. We were lucky enough to spot a bear crossing in front of the property! I can’t imagine how beautiful this place looks in the fall.
Enjoyed Our Stay
by NikkiMy husband and I recently stayed here with our dog and had a wonderful, relaxing time. We absolutely loved the screen porch and spent a lot of time out there listening to the birds and just enjoying the peacefulness. We also spent time by the river and moved our chairs there for part of the day and just soaked up the scenery and quietness. The remote location was a big plus for us! It can be hard to find dog friendly cabins and we are so happy that we found this place! We loved it and hope to come back another time.
Amazing
by Mayaeverything was so clean and it was the perfect place for a nice quiet weekend. we had so much fun dancing around with the speakers and watching movies on the sofa! would love to come try this place in the winter!
Off grid feel with all the comforts
by PafouaThis little A-frame house was just perfect for our getaway! It had everything we needed to feel relaxed and removed from hectic life.
Great host, very responsive and helpful. Beautiful property and location!
Awesome Remote Getaway!
