Our large family stayed here the last four nights. Most of us are adults but we still have several children of all ages.We liked the closeness to North Beach. We also used the private beach one day. We spend most of the day at the beach.The beds are beyond comfortable. I joked that I wanted to steal the mattress and take it home. (Caution: if you are old and short the master bed is very high. We took the other main floor room.) Even with a large group we never ran out of clean towels.The view of the lake from the deck is lovely.There are lots of couches and some folding chairs besides the dining table. If you are big board game players, take a folding table. We used ours nightly. We enjoyed our stay very much and wouldn't hesitate to go again.

We enjoyed out stay at the Stokes Casa and we plan to return in the future. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and serving our group of 38 people. The only thing we lacked was an electric griddle and a a second refrigerator. The girls enjoyed the bunk room and the boys took over the basement gathering room. We played corn hole on the lawn. We were please to find the parking area was paved (unpaved in the photos) though a bit tight for the number of cars we had. The host quickly responded to our needs. The swimming pools and pickleball court were a hit with all. This year the water was high so we were not able to use the private beach.

We had 34 people ranging in age from 89 years old to 20 months stay at this property. The house worked perfectly for our group. In the evening after boating and dinner we had people playing cards upstairs, people visiting in the living room on the main floor, people watching a movie downstairs, and people playing Cornhole in the back yard. The driveway has been improved over what is shown in the photo, being paved all the way up to the street and we were able to park 10 cars in the driveway. Initially the upstairs was too warm and we were locked out of the thermostat but when we called I think a guy named Matt solved the problem quickly. The pool and the sports court was great. The private beach was OK but we spent most of our time up at North beach state park which was just a few miles up the road.Overall, very satisfied with this property and wouldn't hesitate staying there again.

This was for an annual reunion with three generations plus some long time friends. 23 total. The rooms worked well for us, Especially the large upstairs room where most of the cousins stayed. The clubhouse and pool are close by. We also visited Reserve Beach (kayaking ), North Beach, Bloomington creek, Paris museum, and Minnetonka cave, plus hikes around the neighborhood.
