Work Trip
We stayed for a training that was being held in Willmar over the weekend. It was so much nicer to stay in a place where we could all hang out but have space to still sleep and getaway as needed. The home was clean and well stocked. The owners stopped by as we arrived and were very friendly. A great stay!

Beautiful home for family get-together
My sisters and I so enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Convenient location, yet total privacy! The lake-front was so enjoyable this time of year, and the fireplaces inside made for cozy gatherings in the evenings. Spacious, clean, well-appointed... kitchen was convenient for family meals. We all would definitely comeback for our next get together!

The Lake House a great place to stay
We had a great time at the Lake House. Everything worked great, the place was clean, the beds were comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen.The walkout basement offered a great place for the kids to hang out. The open concept kitchen, living room provided lots of room on the main floor. The outdoor space was great! Lots of room on the patio, loved the wraparound porch. The owner is very accommodating, he stopped in to check if we needed anything. We will be returning for future family gatherings!

Lake House vacation
We totally enjoyed staying at this home on the lake. The home was very clean & well stocked with everything we needed! The kitchen was especially well stocked-it even had the paper products we had need of. Our host Tim was very helpful and responsive to everything we needed. The kids had a great time fishing off the dock. The dock was something that could use some improvement on, but it do the job. We would definately stay here again!

Great Girls Getaway
The property has 3 large bedrooms w en-suite baths and quality mattresses. Perfect for a great night’s sleep and privacy. The open floor plan is ideal for gatherings, puzzle-making, relaxing. The wrap-around deck with a view of the bay is perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Bike path adjacent to property provided easy access to the outdoors. Next time we’ll enjoy the pontoon!
