This was a great place to relax and be with my family. I have a daughter who has a camper at Sherwood Forest camp site and there is not enough room for all of us. We were able to be close to them and have get togethers at their place and our rental for cards and games and food

It was a great week. We found lots to do and the cabin fit us perfectly.

This place is a lot bigger than it looks from the road. Nestled in the woods, it has several different sized beds. We were only two people so didn't use all the space, but it looked like a great place for a larger family.
Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. They had books and videotapes available. All in all a great value!

I rented the property for my extended family to get away for Fathers day weekend. Overall property was nice and plenty of space for all of us and I loved that dogs were allowed. Cleanliness of the property was ok...Stove was dirty, bed was not made downstairs at all, sheets were laying on the floor. Fridge and freezer were not working properly at all, we had to toss milk and cheese on 2nd day, so we kept our stuff like that in our coolers that we brought.
Bathrooms were ok when it came to cleanliness. Naomi was very responsive and tried to make sure we had everything we needed.
Overall we had a great time and were able to relax and spend time with family!
Thank you!

This rental is every bit a cabin. Think 70’s decor. It has some areas that really should be updated. Especially the upstairs bathroom. Could have been cleaner, since we are charged a cleaning fee. The fire pit was great fun one evening with provided wood too. They have outdoor and indoor games & toys which we used and had fun with. There is lots and lots of room and that’s the very best of it. And without all the space & private setting, it would be a bit overpriced.
My husband met the owner when he stopped to pick up garbage and he said he was a personable guy and that’s always nice! We would stay again if we needed to be in the area. We loved the privacy and peaceful woods feeling. It’s a great spot for families or friends.

We went just to unwind and relax!! It was a big cabin. We had seven people and we didn’t feel crowded. Would stay again.

Instructions for check in and check out were easy to follow. Never had to communicate with property manager. Everything seemed to work as it should.
First step out of car was into dog poop unfortunately. Property was on a hill so very little flat yard space. Fire pit was pretty good. Plenty of dry firewood. Cornhole game was old and rotting. Never heard or saw any neighbor at as there is good distance between properties. AC worked great. WiFi was strong. Smart TVs worked well except we couldn't get Apple TV or other apps loaded as TV required Roku PIN which was not given. No local channels either. Be sure to get PIN and bring your streaming service login and passwords. Didn't use the grill or many of the kitchen supplies.
Home was very long and narrow with lots of square feet. The building decor and furniture was very outdated. The property was fine for our large group of 11 as we are not fussy about accomodations. It would be quite expensive for small groups relatively speaking though.
Overall, we were satisfied with our stay.

We started planning a family get together a little late in the game and I guess I’m not surprised after visiting why this was the only place with our dates available. The layout is interesting and a little cramped in the kitchen. The full-size bed my husband and I slept on might have been fine for a kid, but the mattress is worn and sagging in the middle which welcomed little sleep. We had issues with the wifi and the host took almost a full day to respond to our request (text and call). The listing says less than a mile from Mille Lacs which is deceiving. When looking at a map, sure, but it was about a 30 minute drive to a decent beach access/fishing point. The cooking pans were one of the nicest things about the place (seemed new and in decent condition). There was also a generous amount of dishes available for a group our size and the dishwasher was nice. At the end of the day, it was a place to sleep.

The place was very clean and has good sleeping accomodations. My group had an excellent time hanging out there. Not many restaurants are around, but the ones that are there have good food. Very close to a boat rental. Overall a great and fun experience.

A good stay
Overall we liked the property quite a lot. The upstairs bed was a bit firm for my wife (but she's fussy about that).
The place was nicely equipped (although the cribbage board could have used an additional peg, it only had 3) and we were very comfortable during our stay.

Large, beautiful area
This place is quite big, much bigger than we needed as it was just 2 of us for one night. It's definitely dated, but very clean and well kept. We stayed there for a concert we went to at the Casino. It was less than a 10 min drive to the casino and the area was beautiful. Especially since we were there during peak leaf season. If I had a bigger group, I would absolutely look to stay here again. With 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchens, 3 bedrooms plus an extra bed tucked away in the living room downstairs, it's definitely a tucked away gem. It also has onsite laundry.

The house is beautiful on the inside, and much more spacious than you'd think from the pictures of the outside. With 2 refrigerator/freezers, there was no need to keep buying ice for a cooler. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'd possibly need to cook. -- even food items that you might have forgotten to bring (sugar, coffee, oil, etc.). The beds are very comfortable. There is plenty of parking, including a U-shaped drive for a truck with a boat.
Most of all, the owners are extremely nice and accommodating. They made us feel like it was really ours for the weekend.

My friends and I stayed for the weekend to throw a bachelorette party. It was a cute cabin with access to the town and the lake. We had plenty of room inside and out to play games, had a nice bonfire pit for s’mores, and had our own space so we could play music and drink without disrupting others. Only issue would be that there weren’t as many beaches as advertised. There weren’t beaches close by and the ones that were close were private beaches that we couldn’t be on. Other than that it was a wonderful time and we found other activities to do! I would definitely recommend this place :)

I enjoyed a few days alone at the cabin before my family joined me for the second half of the stay. It was clean, warm, and stocked with everything you could think you might want! I did develop a headache (probably my body releasing the entire year of 2020 at once!) and couldn't find my ibuprofen. It was a too-bad-to-drive headache, and the very lovely host brought me some so I could rest and recover! BEYOND kind and wonderful people! My kids enjoyed watching a couple family-friendly movies on the VHS player (such a novelty! haha) and said they want to go back again! Mostly private location in the woods, I imagine it's gorgeous with all the trees filled in. I absolutely recommend this location AND these hosts!
