Just perfect apartment on the lake!

Our stay here was perfect! The apartment was absolutely stunning and immaculately clean and extremely well equipped. The area was very peaceful and quiet, and the lake was lovely. Friendly neighbors stopped by, and welcomed us. This is a hidden gem, and we will definitely return. The owner was very responsive to any questions.

This property was clean, the bed was like sleeping on a marshmallow. I didnt want to get up. It was so quiet and peaceful, so hard to leave. You will not need to bring coffee or cooking oil. The water is hot and soft and she supplies several types of shampoo and conditioner if you forget. Would go back, she is a sweetheart, but we were there for a wedding.

Renae was a wonderful host. Her apartment was cozy, extremely clean, and had everything needed for our week-long stay. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and seeing loons and eagles. The location was perfect for riding the Paul Bunyan Trail - about half way between the north and south trailheads. Loved it all!

Didn’t love the bathroom down the crazy stairs. Also, not the fault of the owners, but when the power went out, we also lost water. Pretty tough to get ready to leave with no water.

Tournament stay

My stay was great. Very cute cabin. Very clean and comfortable . Shower worked great. I was also given plenty of room to park my truck with the boat trailer. Plus was given access to plug in my boat at night to recharge for next day. Every thing was perfect for me. Thank you.

My Heart is in Minnesota

It was amazing. I wanted to get away and this was the perfect place at the most beautiful time of year. Renae was awesome! She was attentive and easy to talk to. We hung out for a bit and would have had fun learning more. She was also respectful of privacy. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get out.
