We had a group of 8 for a 4wheeling trip - the cabin was great and has everything you would need ! Price was outstanding and the owners were great and very accommodating! We will defiantly be coming back !!
Came up with friends for a snowmobile trip. Had an excellent time. Direct access to the trails, plenty of room for trucks and trailers, fuel and food just down the road. Accomodations are very well kept and clean. Dave(id?) the owner is terrific.
Easy booking and friendly new owners. The big cabin had been redone since the last time I stayed there and was nice & clean. Beds were comfy. This is a perfect rental for 6-8 people. Bedrooms are a fair size. Kitchen and dining area are on the smaller size especially for a bigger group. Location is perfect for exploring the beautiful Brule area. Lake Superior is about a 15 minute drive north.
We had a group of 12 people for snowmobiling, we rented 3 cabins and had a great time... will be going again in the summer for 4 wheeling..Dave and Sandy are the best, Thanks again...
Really cozy and clean place to stay that is out of the way and in beautiful country but is still close enough to Superior and Duluth. Great prices and the people are so great to work with. Highly recommend a stay here!
Perfect accommodations, love the rustic cabins and wouldn’t change a thing. Cupboards were well stocked, very clean and friendly owners. Definitely coming back in the fall.
My mom's side of the family grew up in Brule. We all stay at these cabins every now and then. They are especially gorgeous in the winter when the snow collects in clouds on the high trees--it is almost like Lapland in Finland (not that I have been there ... yet)! The cabins are very cozy and accomodating. And the cost is perfectly doable in a group. I love that my family is able to use these cabins to stay in their hometown. Not far from the mouth of the Brule either--get there while you still can!
The new owners (Dave and Sandy) are awesome. Cabins were clean, well stocked, if we needed something, they were very tentative. Good phone service, WiFi, Roku TVs. Excellent snowmobile trail access. Will definitely be back!
Set in the Brule River State Forest, this collection of cabins is off Highway 2.
