Great place! Very nice! Will definitely stay again!
Christine is communicative & responds in a timely manner. Location was clean, & it was perfect for the Headwaters.
Would stay there again if ever up in Itasca.
The room was very nice and clean! The wood walls inside the room were beautiful. It was very quiet and the bed was very comfy with super soft sheets. It was also dog friendly so we could bring Buddy!
We had a great time visiting Itasca State Park. The cabin was in a perfect location, right across the street from the Park. The cabins are new, clean, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. Communication with the owner was easy and pleasant. Very highly recommend staying here if you get the opportunity!

This property was perfect! A comfortable place to rest our heads after hiking and exploring the park and surrounding areas. The owner was extremely good at communicating everything we would need to know and was very pleasant to deal with. We definitely plan on going back!
Came up mid-may to explore itasca state park. This place right outside of north entrance to the park and has a gas station very close for any fill up of snacks and gas. The room was very clean and felt like you had a good amount of privacy. Perfect place to stay if you and visiting the lakes or parks nearby!
The listing details of the property are spot on! The room was extremely neat/clean with basically a brand new feel. Big Timbers also had an Ice Cream/Snack shop as well as gift-souvenir items. The host was very accommodating and social. We would highly recommend staying at this property while visiting the Lake Itasca Park area! Thanks for the fantastic hospitality!

It was very quiet. Everyone was kind and efficient. The couch was worn and smelled like urine. We had a little trouble finding the place, but that is our Gps problem.
Clean, spacious, comfortable room. Convenient location. Grocery/gas/liquor store across the street. About 1/2 mile from the north entrance of Itasca State Park and the headwaters of the Mississippi. They also sell pizza & ice cream on site. The staff was friendly and helpful. Christine goes above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay and have everything you need. Lobo’s Bar & Grill is just a short drive from there. Very good food and friendly staff.
Everything went smoothly. Access to the park was terrific. The hosts came and met with me while I was there and they are just terrific people and seem to genuinely care about their guests.
Absolutely loved staying here - room was spacious, bathroom was even bigger. King bed was very comfortable, lots of pillows. Plush towels. We loved having the corner unit, lots of windows and a beautiful grove of pine trees in the back. Easy access, able to park right in front of your room. Super close to Itasca north entrance. Great price. There's a fridge and microwave as well.
The only very small recommendation I'd have is for a warm, dim lighting option (floor lamp maybe?) in the room instead of the cold LED lights by the bed. Would add to the cozy ambiance. :)
Thank you for the hospitality! Will definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.
We loved staying here. It was clean, a big room. Host was very responsive with questions. Would definitely stay here again!
The room didn’t have the futon, host offered to bring air mattress or toddler mattress (for toddler) but we declined, since we all could fit on the king bed together. So it was no problem.
Host messaged on second day and asked if we needed clean towels.
Great host!
