Nice place to stay
First off, Christine was very quick to answer any communication you sent her. Big Timbers was clean and welcoming. It was close to the North entrance of Itasca State Park, so we didn't have to drive to far. If we go back to that area again, we would definitely stay again.

Great place
The unit was clean, modern and larger than expected. The bathroom was also very large. The bed was comfortable. It is very close to Itasca state park if that is your destination. We only used the room to sleep as we were visiting friends at a near by cabin. We rented it twice in 3 weeks and wouldn’t hesitant to book it b again.

Loved the cabin!
We had a great time during our stay! The bed was extremely comfortable, the cabin (and the bathroom especially) were very clean, and the owners were great with text communication. I wish they had properties next to *all* of the Minnesota State Parks.

Nice quiet cabin
Nice cabin in close proximity to Itasca State Park which is where I spent most of my time while I was there. Would love to come back in the spring/ summer so it would be easier to walk there.

Lovely spot!!
We loved it! It was so nice being in the woods and near Itaska state park to go to during the day, but yet having a air conditioned room with a smart tv in the evening! I would highly recommend staying here. We will be back! Much better than any hotels I had seen in the area.

Great Log Cabin
The host was awesome and extremely responsive. They have a gift shop right beside the motel / log cabin. This was convenient as there was times I was not able to make food on the grill and I was able to pick up a pizza or hot dog. I was also able to get ice cream when I was craving some which was awesome. I highly recommend Big timbers as it is a repeat spot that my family will go to each summer!

Homey and convenient
The room was perfect. Homey, comfortable and convenient. The amenities that were supplied were perfect and the room was so comfortable. We came to hike the state park and see the headwaters and it was so nice to come home to in the evening. I wish they were at every state park! We would definitely stay again if back in the area.

One-week Fall Stay
This was a well appointed authentic Northwoods themed motel room. Brand new. Modern decor. Very comfortable. Christine, the host, was responsive and very friendly. It is obvious she and her family have taken great pride to make a first class property. We will definitely recommend it to others and stay there again.
