We loved this stay! We were fortunate to be able to book this for 17 days with our two sons and dogs. We enjoyed the beautiful lake kayaking, fishing, swimming, taking the pontoon out and ongoing use of the fishing boat. The property is completely remote, but then again the main road is not far to go wherever you wish to go on outings. We enjoyed traveling into to Canada just about an hour away, going to Cook's Country Connection (petting zoo), Voyageurs National Park (we saw a Grey Wolf there!), eating at a local restaurant in Orr and finding area parks to take our dogs. We also visited Ely, MN, and that was a great trip too! Visiting Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary is an absolute must - just awesome.
We grocery shopped a few times in Orr, Hibbing and Virginia, and this was fun to drive around to see Northern MN.
Overall, our hosts were wonderful, and we had everything we needed. We were completely impressed by how they had the home stocked with what we needed for the basics. Simply a wonderful vacation for a quiet getaway. I brought a screened in pod as well and was able to really enjoy reading outside too a little safer from the mosquitoes! We also had a black bear visit every now and again. We read up on bear safety, and this gave us plenty to talk about during our trip!
Thanks to the hosts so much for sharing their home with us. We really enjoyed chatting with both Randy and Cathy!
