We came back to Albert Lea for my Mother’s celebration of life. We were planning on renting hotel rooms until we found this place on VRBO. This place is a dream come true. Everything you need and more than enough room for adults and kids. The garage was the place the grandkids loved the most. So much for them to do out there. They loved the kid’s kitchen and so much plastic food was served to us adults. HA HA.. Overall, I would 100% rent this place again and I would 100% recommend this place. ##### Shane O.

First off, Communication with our hosts was outstanding. This home is not only visually very appealing, because of the logs and themed decorating, but so well setup! The kitchen/dining area became our hub of activity. We prepared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners there and everything we needed and then some was there, right down to enough silverware! We really admired that gorgeous, but not overly fancy dining table. The screened porch was right off the dining area and a fantastic spot for any time of day, especially great to start a summer morning with the morning shade filtered sun, prayer & books. The master suite is awesome, very comfortable bed. The huge family sectional sitting area downstairs. perfect for watching movies or hanging out. The grill on the patio off the lower level family room worked well and feeding a dozen people off the grill went well. We had a 16 month old child in our group and it was amazing, from the baby gates, to the the high chairs and crib, to the selection of strategically placed toys! The terraced back yard adorned with an array of flowers, hammock space, and firepit area is cool! The short jaunt down the channel to the main lake is very doable, and the boat launch was literally about 2-3 blocks away, very nice setup there. The garage was really cool, with the foosball and air hockey, workout stuff, bluetooth record player and toddlers kitchen. Plenty of toys for all ages in the garage, the teens liked using the kayaks. Kudos to you guys! ##### Michael G.

One of my sisters and I travel out of state with our immediate families. We LOVED the house! It was so cozy, yet there was plenty of room. The hosts had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. ##### Lorraine r.

Our families include all ages. Everyone raved again and again how perfect this cabin met our needs, especially as the weather was bitter cold and we spent so much time in doors. Highly recommend and would definitely come back if the need arose. ##### Jamie M.
