Pine Cottage

My husband and I came up to Minnesota to go birding at Sax Zim Bog, and we found this great cottage. It was the perfect place! It was very close to Sax Zim Bog, and it was close to the gas station and Wilbert Cafe in town. It was a great size, newly designed, nice appliances to cook our own meals, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom with a large shower. The owner really thought of everything when it comes to small details as well like extra supplies, smart tvs, starlink wifi that worked really well, and nice lighting. The property was large and right on the lake. We hope to come back in the summer to do some other outdoor activities on the lake! We really loved our stay!
