“great fishing and hospitality” I started out planning a fishing trip months prior to my arrival at Vosburghs Custom Cabins. I contact Betsy who was an angel in telling me about the area I was visiting, what I was to expect, what I needed to bring, and that she and her crew would take care of the rest. About a month prior to my visit I received a e-mail from the resort just checking in and wanted to see if I had any questions, which is a first on my many fishing experiences to Ely. Upon arrival Betsy greeted me with a cold drink and wanted to know how my trip was and took the time to get to know me and what my needs might be on my trip. Her cabin/office looks over Moose lake and is possibly one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. I met Willy Vosburgh on the way to my cabin, he helps run the operations as well, and he informed me about my boat that was waiting at the dock, asked if I needed bait, and help get me my permits to enter the park for the next day. My Cabins was absolutely fantastic, the custom wood work really made the cabin all that I was told it would be. The large ready to use kitchen had all the necessities; large fridge, stove, microwave, coffee pot, and all the utensils needed to cook our meals.The cabin had a nice living room area with couch and wood burning stove, large bedrooms, and an attached screened in front deck to sit and look at the scenery. The set up for fishing was very nice, we had a large V hull aluminum boat with a new 25 HP motor which made it easy to start and drive. The main dock had a helpful guy by the name of Greg who helped with all our gas, bait, seats, etc.. which made fishing everyday easy. I hired a guide the first day who's name was Paul, who showed us how to fish these lakes, what lures were working and how to use them, I highly recommend hiring him for your first day, we caught a ton of nice fish. I had a wonderful time on my trip and would recommend this resort to anyone who loves fishing, hiking, boating, or simply great scenery.

“Most comfortable farmhouse you will ever stay in.” I visited Mankato to see a friend who had just had a baby. I wanted a place that I could come to after our long days together and relax. This house provided exactly that!! I think I will bring my friend here for a long weekend when she can leave her baby. We can invite more ladies for a girls getaway! I really can't wait to go back.

“Photos do not due this location justice!” Beautiful, well-kept cabin on the perfect sized lake. I knew we'd found a wonderful location when my children were oooohhhh-ing and aaaahhhing as we pulled into the driveway. The view of the lake is breathtaking! My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. The owner was there when we checked in and give us some "local secrets" were to fish and other opportunities not far from the cabin. He was a wonderful resource and very cordial. Sharing photos of our trip afterwards, a coworker commented by saying "it looks like summer camp!" That about sums it up - truly the perfect Minnesotan experience! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

“A little slice of heaven!” We have stayed at Casabella for the past five years. We always come up in the Fall hoping to catch the foliage. We've been here when it's 40 degrees, and when it's 75 degrees. The temperature never seems to matter when all is said and done. This place is fabulous. We love Caribou Lake and the privacy we have at Casabella. The accommodations are great. We usually cook in while we're here, and the kitchen has whatever we need. Great fireplace indoors, and great fire pit outdoors! I really can't say enough about it. We love it!

“True relaxation!” Me and my family spent three days here and I recommend it to anyone who truly wants to get away from it all! Very secluded and a beautiful view! Just going out the back door down to the shore line and watching the sunrise as the waves splash against the rocks just took all the stress of everyday life away! A wonderful experience , we loved it!

“Excellent relaxing place to be with family and friends any time” This is a great place to spend time at durning the summer. It is quiet, relaxing, affordable, newly updated, and surrounded by beautiful trees. There are many things to do there with an awesome sandy beach and access right to the lake. We enjoy laying on the beach, swimming, playing beach volleyball, and having access to the pantoon, paddle boats, and lake raft. There are even docks where you can keep your own boat while staying there. With all the trees and wildlife we enjoy going for walks. It is located close to Mapplewood State Park, various resturants, grocery stores, and gas stations in the nearby towns. They also have a store located right on the property with a variety of foods and items just incase you forgot anything. We also enjoy going there year round to spend time with our family during our family reunion, and on the holidays! It's a spacious place to have larger gatherings for Thanksgiving and Christmas! We go there several times a year and have encourged our family and friends to stay there too! Steve and Holly are excellent hosts!!
