The house was beautiful located on Spring Lake. The only downer was the fishing. If you're looking to fish, try other lakes in the area. Otherwise, the house was great. Only a 40 minute drive from Minneapolis with good restaurants in the area.

Great quiet lake setting, perfect for a family. Lots of room, and super soft sheets. Great selection of video games.
Suggestions to homeowners: rooms are very dark. Brighter lights, at least in the bathrooms. Knives were very dull. Full length mirror and makeup mirror would be awesome.
Thank you!

Great location for Family Gathering, and we really enjoyed the lake access and kayaks. The location is only 30 minutes from the airport. However, we could only access the property after 4 pm and were surprised to find out the the following were not included, which required a run to a local store for supplies:
• Paper towels
• Napkins
• Laundry detergent
• Shampoo and body wash in bathrooms
• Cutting boards (has cutting sheets)
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil
• Coffee
• Facial tissues
Also, there was not dishwasher and guests are expected to wash all dishes and put them away before departing by 10 am.
We had a VRBO for 5 years in Anacortes Washington and stay in vacation rentals all over the world. The supplies listed above are expected. think that future guests need a list of what they need to supply themselves.

Accurately described in listing. Lots of space and sufficient kitchen amenities. Also close to activities but not in a busy neighborhood. We enjoyed the Edelweiss Bakery and downtown Prior Lake. We were not able to use the kayaks due to inclement weather but enjoyed the view from the dock. The host was responsive to our questions. Overall a nice rental, and we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful lake home, right on the water, 4 bedrooms. Lovely owner, very easy communication. I always wish rentals would just leave the condiments behind, as purchasing every single thing for a brief rental seems wasteful but already knew that was the set-up. Plenty of every pot/pan/appliance (except no Dishwasher, as clearly noted in the ad) in the kitchen (but bring all plastic wrap/tin-foil etc). Bathrooms are great, hand soap only provided. Great collection of towels/beach towels and bedding. Used a nearby swim beach that was sandy for swimming, and used the kayaks at the rental. Enjoyed a ribs-fest at Mystic Casino (great outdoor food and music) and seeing Wicked at the Orpheum. Highly recommend this rental.

BEST Family Vacation!
We absolutely had the BEST time! The house is beautiful inside and out. Honestly, it is even more beautiful and spacious in person than what you see in the photos. The kitchens are stocked with any dishes, containers, cookware that you could possibly need and there were tons of towels and blankets. We canoed, kayaked and swam almost every day and enjoyed a fire by the lake every night. We had one rainy day but no problem as there were books and games to play, good wifi and of course the Play Station was a big hit as well. During our stay, we had a question and Connie the owner literally responded within minutes. Our family created some very special memories here and are already talking about coming back again! Thank you Connie!

This was a perfect space for our reunion of friends- 6 adults and 5 kids ranging in age from 5-13. Adults each got their own room and kids had a big sleepover in the spacious master bedroom. It was awesome having direct private access to the lake for swimming and kayaking. Everything was comfortable (except the fold out couch) and clean, and Connie was very responsive and accommodating. There is a small playground/park directly across the street which is also nice for little kids.

The place was fantastic! The house was clean and ready to go. Just as advertised. Connie was very responsive (before and during the trip). It was Really nice that the house had a pack and play and a high chair. Not super baby proof, but never claimed to be. I just simply moved decor out of reach! The playground is directly across the street, which the kids loved. Thanks for the great stay!

The house was cozy and kitchen well stocked with cookware, dishes and items needed to prepare our early holiday meals. The only downside was the lack of dishwasher which was sorely missed with 10 people at each meal. Still, the fireplace was great, lots of room on each level and the lake view was terrific. Plenty of parking for four vehicles and a cute little park across the street. We appreciated finding 2 shovels by the door as we watched 16” of snow cover the ramps, deck and driveway. A fun stay.

Wonderful lake house on beautiful lake. Exceeded our expectations for family gathering.
5.0
This house was absolutely perfect for us. Beautiful A-framed home with a gorgeous view of the lake. Connie was really easy to communicate with & answered all of our questions quickly.
The house has 3 separate floors for the bedrooms, which made it perfect for us. We were able to have our own space and then spend quality time for breakfast & dinner. We enjoyed the view of the lake everyday. We fished with the poles provided. We had a bomb fire outside nightly & made s'mores. We also used the BBQ to cook up hamburgers.
The kitchen is filled with everything you need if you are planning on eating and cooking. All the beds were comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms for the six of us. Lot's of towels in each bathroom. Bring your own soaps & shampoos.
The neighborhood was just delightful for walking. There is a trail near the house that is perfect for a morning run. The town is also really great. Good local spots to eat.
Check out is at 10am. We had quite a bit of time before our flights left. We decided on brunch at a local place then headed to the beautiful Minnehaha Falls. (2 mins from the airport) Our whole family really enjoyed falls, creek and park.
We 100% recommended staying here.

Birthday Getaway
What a great way to spend our birthday’s at this wonderful home! The view of the lake was beautiful. We enjoyed our time on the deck, thankful that the weather cooperated. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. And just a short drive to restaurants and shopping. Thank you for sharing your home.

Lake Vacation
This A frame on Spring Lake was perfect for our family. It’s 3 floors let us all have a bit of privacy while the main floor was perfect for eating and just “hanging”. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. The deck was a great place to watch those who canoed and paddleboarded. We took several walks on the nearby path, spent time at the horse track and enjoyed a tour of Paisley Park. We also were lucky to have perfect weather! It was just the right place for us.

This was a nice roomy cabin we all enjoyed. Well supplied kitchen on main floor, downstairs was like a separate apartment. Plenty of entertainment space on main and lower level, upstairs had a nice loft and great master suite. Great to have fun with the kayaks on the lake.

Great Lake House for Families
We loved this rental. It’s in a great area with beautiful lake views. We had 3 families stay and we all more then enough room. My kids loved swimming in the lake, I do recommend water shoes. Connie was a wonderful host and was quick to reply to a minor issue we had. The house is in a great location in MN makes it easy to get places. We tried the restaurant on Prior Lake and it was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

This home/property was perfect for our family gathering. We enjoyed the park across the street, the lake and being close to restaurants/shopping. It was very convenient. The house was great with 3 levels and 3 bathrooms; plenty of room for everyone. We also rented a pontoon with Connie's help and that made for even more fun with rides and fishing for all! We would definitely recommend this home!

Fantastic location right on the lake and just steps from Spring Lake Regional Park. Was fantastic to wake up and enjoy coffee while floating in a kayak! Also, plenty of fish to catch. Accommodated our family reunion nicely. Owner is friendly and quick to respond to questions. Great place.

The lake cabin was exactly what we were looking for! We really enjoyed the location and versatility of the cabin, the shaded back yard, the kayaks and canoe, the picturesque lake with the soothing sounds of the Loon's, the dock fishing for the kids and the evening fireside chats with family as the moon beams danced over the calm lake waters. We also rented a pontoon and enjoyed some great lake activities to include swimming in the warm waters and fishing for a variety of fish, to include a monster Northern Pike! Evenings also included gambling at the casino and exploring the general area with so much to choose from. Look forward to our next stay and thanks to Connie for making our overall experience a vacation to remember!
