Wonderful stay!
Steve was a great host! He provided us with plenty of information about his place. Loved the proximity to Sha Sha resort. Kayaking was fun. Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. Very comfortable and very clean!!

Lake side retreat
We needed a base to explore Voyageurs National Park and perhaps paddle around on a lake. This spot was all that and more, with a short walk to Sha Sha Resort and a short drive to Thunderbird resort - great restaurants on the water. Hope we can come back some day and spend more time.

A lovely getaway
Although we were only able to stay a few days, this spot left us wanting more time. We swam, fished and relaxed on a dock overlooking the beautiful scenery of northern Minnesota. All the comforts of hom helped make ut a perfect stay!

Beautiful Location!
We stayed 2 nights at this lovely spot on the lake. Cozy cabin with great view of the lake through large window. Has everything you need. Close to VNP entrance. Lake access right there. Walking distance to Sha Sha Resort.
This Dove Island property is incredibly clean, well maintained and modern. The view is incredible. It is located in a very fun spot at the very edge of Dove Island close to the Sha Sha Resort and a Voyageur National Park Center. It has 3 very clean and comfortable bedrooms and a complete kitchen. It should be noted in the description that this property is the bottom floor of a house and while it has a totally private, separate entrance you may hear anything happening upstairs. It's a completely separate space but not it's own structure. With those parameters - I would recommend this property.

Quaint Rainy Lake Cabin
We had a great stay at this little suite. Great snowmobile access to the lake in the winter.
