About the host
Hosted by Jodi Smith

We are a farm family from central Minnesota. The cabin has been our vacation spot for over 20 years. We added the kitchen/dining/loft area to accommodate our growing family, and now the grandkids get to enjoy it, too.
Why they chose this property
If you're looking for peace and privacy, you will find it here, tucked away in the north woods. The property is on a paved road about 30 minutes from Bemidji, MN, and all its attractions.

FOR KIDS TO STAY FREE: The base price is $300 per night, for up to 4 (adult) guests. For each "additional guest" the fee is $50 per adult per night.
