Thank you so much! We enjoyed all of our kids and grandkids and there was plenty of room! It ended up being a very cold February weekend, but we were able to set tip ups and watch them from the house and run out when the flag was up! Fun for all!

The area is beautiful. The beds were subpar and the place is in need of some basic repairs (dryer sounds like it's about to explode when on, caulk needs to be replaced in most of the bathrooms because it shows signs of mold). The place has a not great smell to it, I am guessing from the older furniture. With those small touches and some fresher furniture/more comfortable beds it would be an excellent place to stay!

We took our family to stay at the cabin for MEA weekend. There was a total of 10 of us plus our dog. The cabin was beautiful with had plenty of room for all of us. The lake behind the house was beautiful. Weather was a little cool so kids couldn't go swimming but we did spend most of the time outside fishing, grilling, basketball and hanging by the bonfire. Kids had a great time. Shari was great answering all our questions. Look forward to staying there again in the summer.

Though cool (it is October in Minnesota, beautiful setting to watch the sunset across the lake. Moonset was even more awesome. House is very comfortable with everything one needs.

Great house has everything that you might want. Only negative is that the internet is very slow, could not use laptop or steam tv shows. Tv has no espn channels, very basic. They need to upgrade internet sevice and get a dish for tv. Then this home would be perfect.

Great Location for our Family Gathering
The house was perfect for our family gathering. We had 6 adults and two teens but there was room for more! The three bedrooms fit our needs for the adults and the loft had ample beds and extra space for the kids. The house easily accommodates multiple families. The outdoor space is awesome. So many fun activities like a basketball court, tetherball, bean bags and just steps away from the beautiful lake view. We enjoyed a bald eagle sighting and loons throughout the stay. The house was well appointed with a well stocked kitchen, paper products and clean towels. I highly recommend this property for a single or multiple family vacation. We hope to rent it again!

This is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway! The cabin was so nice and it definitely had more than enough room for my group of girls. There is a nice view of the lake and you’re not far from the surrounding towns if you need to make a run for anything! Communication was easy and clear with the owner and they had everything we needed. Overall we had a great stay and would absolutely recommend!

We enjoyed out stay at this property. Easy check in & out. Cabin was well stocked with paper products & other household supplies. Plenty bath towels, etc & in good condition. Beds were comfy. View of the lake was great, along with the firepit in nice location. Nice level lake lot with ample parking. Plenty outdoor space for guests to enjoy outdoor activities & games. Many outdoor games provided. Couple items we noted: no info for guests unfamiliar with Roku tv programming. We did miss being able to watch local & state news each day. Cabin could use a deep cleaning. Outdoor grill also a through cleaning. We appreciated very much Shari & Pam's response on incident we experienced when we arrived, that someone had dumped fish entrails at the end of the dock . Pam came & cleaned them out of the lake, they were already starting to smell. Also thanks to Pam for mailing a piece of jewelry that was left at cabin. Thanks again, hope to return.

We found this gem when looking for a centralized location for a group of women to host a bachelorette party. The variety of sleeping arrangements, seating, and options for activities was perfect. We had great weather and some gals went for a walk, some sipped coffee and sat in the swing taking in the lake view. We also played volleyball and had a campfire. Communication with the owner was easy and check-in time was flexible. The bride to be and all the women had a great time and many agreed they would reserve another stay in the future!

Sister/cousin get away
We had a great time staying here! The lofts where so fun for the kids. We came in the spring before the ice was off and the kids still found plenty to do outside and inside. We would stay again.
Beds where comfortable and it was nice there where so many in one room so all the cousins could sleep together yet still have their own space,
