About this house rental

Restored 1920s Farmhouse/Cabin on the prairie with access to beautiful Silver Lake. Escape to a quiet peaceful rest. Paddleboat, kayak, or take a leisure nature walk. Lake is stocked with walleye and several types of panfish. Watch bald eagles, Canadian geese, blue heron, deer, and other friendly critters. Stargaze away from city lights against a black velvet sky while bullfrogs serenade. Full kitchen with keurig coffee, French press, and all amenities. This retreat is rustic with original oak flooring. comfortable and relaxed. Lot is mostly mowed with some natural prairie grass for effect.
Queen bed in Master bedroom. 3 singles (bunk beds and twin in two other bedrooms. 1 1/2 baths with tub/shower combo and comfy couch in living room. Please be aware this is an old farmhouse on what was once prairie next to a lake. We do our best to keep things clean but it's not antiseptic. Things can get a bit dusty if it's windy and you're liable to find insects and critters on the property. Think Little House in the Prairie vs the Hilton:)

Ring camera installed pointing toward driveway from front porch only for security reasons for guests and property.

Cute cabin on a lovely little lake. You get the feel that Kent and family are your family friends and they're letting you use their cabin for the weekend! It is reasonably clean but could probably use an occasional deep clean and minor home repairs (living room door handle, banister spindle). This was not problem for our family at all. The kitchen has condiments and spices and plenty of dishes/pots/pans to use. The paddle boat and kayaks are great and were a huge hit for my family, as well as the mulberry trees all over the property. It would be helpful to have a sign or arrow pointing to the correct dock for the property or a wider paddle-boat sized path. There are books, games, puzzles, tv/Roku, and a few toys for kids too. Our family really enjoyed our stay and would go back!

The house was cute but the dock was sketchy. Had tons of stinging nettle everywhere.
