{Big Timbers} Cabin next to North Entrance to Itasca State park

{Big Timbers} Cabin next to North Entrance to Itasca State park

8/10 Good
"We love Big Timbers! It is very near to Itasca State Park, and a beautiful drive to get there. The cabin is very "cabin-y," yet has enough comforts to keep us comfortable! It's great to have a cabin with a sizable refrigerator and a full kitchen. Thank you for the great family vacation spot!"
