"Absolutely beautiful! The property itself is gorgeous and the cabin was cozy."

Jack Pines Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is always nice and helpful. The rooms are perfect for our family. The Cookhouse is an easy place to eat. The food is great and only about 100 feet from the furthest cabin door. Love the sitting areas and the trail around the property. Close enough to Park Rapids if you need major stores! We love this place."

The Definition of Get-Away-from-it-All!

10/10 Excellent

"This place is PERFECT! It is completely off the grid and so quiet. My husband and I brought our E bikes (the real ones). I didn't ride much as I was happy just looking at the veiw, but he REALLY enjoyed being in the woods. And we both enjoyed relaxing in the cabin just watching movies in the evening. The best was the South America episode about E bikes! lol"
