This is a beautiful property with a lot of amenities to it! We want to make this a yearly visit!!
Gorgeous property on a beautiful lake. It came complete with a brand new snowfall that painted the trees for us and made for great sledding, snowshoeing, ice fishing and sitting around the fire. Next time we might try to find some snowmobiles since there are some great trails nearby.
Peaceful and relaxing stay,
What a special place that Peg & Tim have created for all to enjoy. The drive up on scenic 38 sets the stage for the surroundings you’ll enjoy while staying at Buckhorn on Caribou Lake. A short drive on well maintained gravel roads winding through the beautiful Chippewa National Forest and you find yourself arriving at the shore of Caribou Lake. We stayed in cabin 7, a beautiful log cabin with plenty of room for adults to relax, kids to play, and the whole group to come together and eat. The bedrooms are all spacious enough for luggage, the bathrooms all have showers and/or tubs, there is a sauna big enough for a large group, and a downstairs area with plenty of room for ping pong and a seating area to relax and play board games. The kitchen has lots of room and worked great for every meal. The kids loved sitting at the kitchen island and the adults enjoyed the unique dining table with a huge tree stump for a pedestal base. Outside, we loved spending time on the huge deck overlooking the lake, and enjoying the spacious backyard with fire pit and plenty of room for yard games. The walk down to the lake gives you glimpses of the water through the trees, then you reach a large wooden platform and take in the whole view of pristine Caribou Lake. The lake is wrapped in dense forest, treating you with nature’s finest views. Our kids loved the little island just off shore, they dubbed “kid island”! They used the provided paddle boat to reach it and they truly felt they were charting undiscovered territory! The rest of us enjoyed canoeing and kayaking (also provided), and we brought a fishing boat, managing decent success with smallmouth bass, but not getting those elusive Lake Trout! We took nature walks and hikes right down the driveway from the cabin, as well as going to nearby Suomi Hills. Peg is a gracious host and answered any and all questions we had. The beauty of the cabin inside and out can be credited to Tim and Peg for building and decorating/furnishing it. If you want a true north woods experience in a beautiful cabin, on a pristine lake, in some of the best forest area nature can offer, then Buckhorn on Caribou is where you should go.
Fantastic stay! We enjoy a weekend of peace, quiet in a beautiful cabin just off the lake.
NO TV! It says DVD player but does not say TV. We rent a lot of these, and we have an assumption that there will be a TV, right, wrong or indifferent. You should put one in, or say No TV. The charcoal grill works and works well, but a nice gas grill would be better for the vacationer, less hassle. Kitchen; overall, the kitchen equipment is getting thin and some pretty wore out. You should have a trash container outside some where, we had no place to go with the trash. The manual for the cabin needs to have more info about the property, like what to do with your trash for example. That's about it, very nice place and we enjoyed it very much; just some minor improvements would be good. Thanks! Troy Gorans
Everything about this place is great. If you appreciate nature, organic architecture, peacefulness, and gathering with friends and family, or a quiet time with your lover or just alone, you’ll find it here. The owners let you feel like it’s your own private retreat. There are not a lot of reviews on here because most people don’t want anyone to know about it. It’s that special.
This cabin was everything we were hoping for in an all-our getaway. It was quiet, had all the amenities we needed for cooking and grilling, and the place is huge. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful. Would definitely stay again.
Amazing location. Had a great time at cabin. Sauna a bonus!
Our overall experience was good; the property was clean and spacious and the yard was well kept. However the property is showing its age. There are some screen doors that need repair, the refrigerator didn't operate as it should and light bulbs were burned out - mostly the outside ones. We were short of towels, but found them in the drier. Pots and pans need to be cleaned (some were greasy) or replaced.
