10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Property was very nice. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room and dining room area. Lot is very wide for a lake lot with trees on both sides to provide privacy from the neighbors. Brought our boat and had a great time on the lake. Visited the nearby resort / bar and grill, which is only about 3 or 4 blocks away. The food there is surprisingly good and reasonably priced. Overall it was a great trip.

Overall it was a great place to stay. There was plenty of room for all of us. The only drawback was that I felt the beds/mattress could be updated and that the living room rug smelled a bit like a wet dog(needs a shampooing maybe) and adding a dehumidifier would be nice as it was sort of damp feeling when using living room furniture. Overall it was a really great experience. The convenience of the dock and fire pit as well as the open yard for our dog to run around was great.

We were last minute planners. Wanted to get out of the heat dome and have a change of scene. Some peace and quiet. This charming cabin fit the bill! We enjoyed our time playing Yahtzee by the lake and cruising around to the local restaurants. We were surprised we could survive without a smart tv but enjoyed the selection of dvds! We also enjoyed a little campfire and appreciated the well split firewood! Our first time to the MN lakes- we understand their beauty and need for DEET Thank you for being such nice hosts!

The cabin has very nice furnishings, comfortable chairs and sofa in living room, comfortable beds. The finishings high quality. Nice big treed lot. We enjoyed the firepit and swimming. Not a sandy beach, but water was clear and clean, not weedy. We got more rain than we ordered on this trip, but we would come back.
