Unplanned trip to Hibbing
Enjoyed staying at this nice cottage in the woods. It's very clean and relaxing. The property owners are nice, friendly, and accommodating. I would certainly rent again the next time I'm in Hibbing. Our stay was short and we would consider this for a longer getaway.

Hospitality by Siri was excellent, always available. A Beautiful cottage with a full level of accessories you may possibly need to make your stay comfortable. Great location to the town, yet snuggled in the woods for nature that was all around including several deer's. Loved it!!! Will be staying there again for sure while in MN.

Greta Cottage for a great price
Cottage was very Beautiful and clean. Everything was set out for us on our late arrival. Even had snacks and their own Honey (will buy some next stay). We have a ATV trip being planned for this summer and plan on staying here. Siri had a folder with instructions for everything we needed. Thank You for everything Siri.

Cute quite get away
My fiancé and I came from the MI/OH area, Siri was kind enough to let us check in early and get some sleep before taking the 27-35ish minute drive to sax zim bog! Everything we needed was provided, corn bread muffins and honey are amazing as you can see in other reviews. We came home one night around 11 and there were probably 8-10 deer in the front yard which was really cool. (Also could be scary… there’s deer everywhere so he so cautious of that at night!!) The living room is so cozy with the fire place, I do however wish there was an option for more window coverage, it is a little spooky at nighttime being so open with the big window and kitchen window. We will be staying again in the future!!

Perfect weekend getaway!
We had a wonderful stay at Siri’s beautiful property in Hibbing. The guest house is thoughtfully decorated and included any amenities we might need. We loved the wood burning stove and the upstairs loft, as well as the kitchen and the beautiful view. Highly recommend staying with Siri for your next trip to Hibbing!

Great place!
We stayed in this adorable cabin while attendingourson'swedding. The hosts were right next door if you needed anything. Cabin was clean, stocked with everything you could possibly need including coffee and firewood for the woodburning stove - which we took advantage of (its cold in Hibbing in February). The host left muffins and their honey for us to enjoy. And having deer in the backyard when we got up was icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend if you need a weekend getaway.

Clean, inviting and comfortable
Since I was traveling with a friend to photograph in the Sax Zim bog, I decided to rent a house instead of two hotel rooms. The house was very clean and comfortable. It’s convenient to the bog. I’d stay here again on my next visit if it’s available.

Cozy and Quaint!
We loved the windows and coverings especially the skylights that gave a panoramic land-and-sky scapes. The lovely loft gave light and luxurious living area. The unexpected amenities like fluffy towels and cozy socks were appreciated in the cold weather for us who are only former Minnesotans most recently from Florida. A relaxing rustic retreat in the north woods, yet close to town and airport.

A perfect retreat!
We loved our stay in Stolhammer Hus - it was spotlessly clean, comfortable and the setting in the woods was wonderful. Kraig and Siri were lovely hosts and we enjoyed their home-made cornbread and honey from their bees. Their home is so warm and welcoming and has everything you could possibly need - and more. We hope to stay again on a future visit to Northern Minnesota. Thank you!

We enjoyed the bonfire and time spent with them. The house was very well maintained, clean, and organized. In addition, everything we needed was there.

This is the best little home EVER! Siri and Kraig were fantastic hosts! They’ve thought of everything and more! From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel right at home! Special snacks, cozy accommodations and the kindest people to deal with! They even kept our visit a secret from our girlfriend who didn’t know we were coming for her wedding!

Stolhammer Hus
The hosts of this property offered many special touches like cornmeal muffins with honey from their own hives. We were welcomed in person (that’s a “first” and very much appreciated)! The linens and towels were very high quality. The cupboards were stocked with an excellent variety of cooking utensils as well as sugar, flour, cooking spray, oil, etc. so we lacked for nothing to be comfortable there. The furniture and beds were comfortable and cozy. I’d love to return on the near future! Superb hosts with excellent communication for checking in and during our stay.

Renewal
Variety of beautiful flowers and different trees bring Nature close to cottage. Loved the feeling of being 'home'. Corn muffins and honey were delicious! Tho I loved my time at cottage, I would like to suggest removing air fresheners and artificial scents of any kind for those of use who are sensitive to these kinds of oders. The front porch, which looked super inviting for reading, had a old, musty oder. Also, there was only one pan that was not non-stick, which I used it for everything. Since teflon coatings are known to be unhealthy, a couple 'regular' pans would be nice. I was priviledged to met owner, who is super nice. Would definitely stay again if the above items could be taken care of. Thank you!!

Linda, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for the heads-up on the Teflon pans. I agree with the airfreshener. I had just purchased them but realized they were too strong and unplugged them on your arrival. I had not noticed a musty smell in the porch but will definitely check that out. We would be happy to host you again.
