Would recommend and stay again for any type of gathering!" - Justin "Fantastic location and amenities!!! Our large family stayed to celebrate a 70th birthday. The ample space fit us wonderfully. The added creature comforts of AC, Wi-Fi, two ensuite main floor bedrooms, and separate upstairs rooms provided some privacy as well. We will be back!" - Laura "Great location for a large family gathering. While we went in the winter, we got the full winter wonderland experience with tubing and playing on the frozen lake.

Has a nice big yard with plenty of room for the kids to play games and run around. Beds were comfortable and clean. It was really nice how the owner provided firewood. We brought our fishing boat that we were able to tie to the dock and had some great catches! And best of all, it was only an hour north of us making it an easy drive for the kids :) we would come back for sure. ##### K B.

There was good notes, communication and check-in process was very easy. The only negative on this property was that it could seriously use some TLC (tender loving care). There were weeds grown up on the stairs, things were damaged from previous tenants and could use a seriously deep clean. ##### jen s.

The place allowed us to spread out, have our own rooms and the grounds are spacious as well for outdoor games and fires. Overall the interior is nice but if. you look closer (kitchen cupboards, closets) they are in disarray. The pontoon was nice to have to get on the lake, but it is very slow and pretty beaten up. ##### Gina S.

The property does need a little bit of work, a couple boards on the deck are a little treacherous and my dad actually cleaned off the air conditioner on the outside to ensure the AC was optimal. Something to note is the two bedrooms upstairs there is no AC or heating. We weren't expecting that and for July it got a bit warm up there. The trick is to open windows in the back and put the fans in the front windows. Overall my family had a great time! Thank you. ##### Katie L. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael J. 1 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Our Stay We grew up going Up North to our family cabin with a beach front. The cabin was sold a number of years ago because of parental age/health issues. We rented this cabin for our family (kids/grandkids) as well as my parents. We chose this cabin for the size, the beach front, the pontoon, and the fire pit. The pictures of the house were not current as it was not as crisp and clean as shown (many splinters) and we spent time cleaning the pontoon and beach area; however, the kitchen and living room were wonderful for our family. I would suggest organizing the closets and cupboards but that is just my opinion as I find that to be an important part of all of our VRBO stay. ##### Michael J. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Courtney M. 6 Aug 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely house for a family Overall, we liked the house. We expressed some initial concerns to the owner about the cleanliness; but he mentioned that he would have a talk with the cleaners. It took us a bit to figure out how to operate the AC unit, as well, so the first night in the place was extremely warm and difficult to sleep. Once we got the air going, we were very happy! Some instructions on how to operate the AC remote would be great!! At any rate - lots of space for families to stay, kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to cook, superior location right on the water. Very quiet. We will definitely consider this house again for our annual summer trip. ##### Courtney M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathleen T. 6 Jul 2023 Liked: Communication, location #### Fun Family Weekend Our family spent the weekend here fishing and just hanging out. The kids had a great time in the bunk rooms and the beach was perfect for playing in the water. Our dogs were thrilled with the lake too! Plenty of places to sleep, but not a lot of privacy for adult couples. My husband and I shared a room with his brother, awkward! I wonder if the previous guests or the cleaners had trouble before we arrived as the door was left unlocked. We were a little disappointed with the floors, they were not cleaned up from the previous guests (sand & dirt on hard surface floors) and the organization in the kitchen took some time to get used to. We would suggest a cabinet/pantry area for food storage when we are there as everything we brought had to be kept in the counter or small table in the hall. If you need a great outdoor space for family/friend gatherings, this place is perfect! Kids and dogs loved the yard. We had a fire in the pit, played lots of catch and football in the yard, fished, swam, etc. Great opportunity to have fun! ##### Kathleen T.

This turned out to be a perfect place to spend a mini vacation with my kids & grandkids. The house is comfortable with a perfect layout. An open concept kitchen with all the kitchen utensils & tools we needed were there and plenty of dishes & glasses & flatware. BBQ on deck. A big plus for us was that we were able to bring pets and the property is large enough that they could play outside without being distracted by roads and other animals, so they could enjoy being out of town too. Beds are comfortable. AC is really big a plus. Smart TV. The deck was great because it has two tables and is just nice and large. Adirondack chairs on the lawn with a really nice fire pit. Great view of the sunset and we happened to catch the full moon too. No bugs to speak of, but probable because it's so dry right now. Lots frogs croaking. We were all very happy staying there. Andrew (VRBO owner) was really helpful. I'm a novice and needed some hand holding. ##### Marcia S.

We decided a lake home vacation was safe with the current pandemic and the home was well cleaned and a welcome respite to leave the news behind. The location was conveniently only an hour from the twin cities. The lot is private and quiet and very large. The views from the house are stunning. The lower bedrooms are roomy with their own bathrooms. The upstairs two bedrooms are good for parents with kids, and they use a full bathroom on the main level. The kitchen was nicely set up with a full lake view, has a gas range, double ovens and full fridge. It’s connected with the living area. The deck was well used and spacious enough to change seating to three separate areas with a gas grill there. We set up our own volleyball net, croquet and lawn games, and the yard was beautifully large and accessible by the lake. we used the fire ring for fires and used the pontoon one day. We brought our own motor boat as well. We loved our time there, felt very comfortable, and Andrew was so helpful and kind. ##### Rhonda M.

The house is spacious with good sized bedrooms & bathrooms. Very nice firepit with plenty of chairs for a large group. We sprayed the yard for mosquitos and did not get eaten. Damage deposit was refunded in a timely manner. Andrew was responsive to questions. Cons- Curb appeal is not good. Landscaping is overgrown with weeds around the house and under the deck. As you walk in the back door entrance the crawl space for under the house is open and we did see mice. There are spider webs everywhere, ceiling fans were very dirty. Kitchen cabinets had been spilled on and were not cleaned as well as the wall behind the stove. Inside of microwave was dirty. Holes in the ceiling were they must have removed light fixtures and didn’t patch the holes. There were a lot of dead bugs on the window sills that had not been cleaned off. Outlets in the bathrooms didn’t work. The pontoon worked well, but it is run down and was dirty. Could probably rent something nicer for a cheaper rate from town. Not stated on the listing, but wood is not provided for the fir pit. Things to know that are beyond the owners control. – The yard was covered in goose droppings. The lake was awful, extremely green and stunk. Would not even allow our dogs to go in the water. Despite the disappointing state of the house, we did have beautiful weather and had a good time once we cleaned things up! ##### Marsha C.

It was as the photos showed in the listing. There was plenty of room for our family. The rooms were all a really good size and the beds were very comfortable. ##### Paul H.

Good for family thanksgiving. Great outdoor space, nice for dogs and a dead end lane to walk with no traffic. Would come back in the summer, bet it’s great then. ##### Margaret P.

The inside wasn't as large a the photos make it look. We slid the couch forward so we could all sit at the table because it was so close to the bar stools. A list of the included items would have been nice. Like bring your own paper towels. Not much counter space for anything. Beds and couch were comfortable. No bathroom upstairs. Steep to get into the house. Weird smell when we went in but it cleared up. Overall 4+ stars. ##### ERIN S.
