We absolutely love our stay. How quickly a week can go by. We loved that we were able to take our dogs with us to enjoy the week. Nice big yard for outdoor games and huge fire pit. We love hearing and seeing the loons and eagles. We brought out kayaks with and enjoyed fishing from the kayaks and dock. Weedy around the dock but we just used floaties our front of the dock to relax in the water. The kids really enjoyed playing pool in the game room as well.

The space was comfortable, but it contains way too much furniture, making some rooms hard to navigate. There were only 3 of us, so it was fine for us. The property listing did not make clear that there was no bathroom upstairs, where there are beds for many sleepers.
The location is fairly remote, we had to drive 27-30 minutes to go hiking and canoeing and even eating out. For fisher-folks (not us), however, that could be satisfied closer by.
The kitchen was great - had every appliance and more than most would need/want. Plenty of games and puzzles, as advertised. Cleaning and laundry products and shampoo/conditioner provided - which is very thoughtful.

If you’re looking for a rustic up north lake cabin experience, this is it! You can tell this is someone’s treasured family cabin and it’s been well loved for generations. It’s quirky, it’s not glamorous, the internet is not fast and nor should it be—GO OUTSIDE or play any one of the numerous board games or DVDs they have! The back yard and lakefront view are beautiful and the back porch is so peaceful at night. It’s also child and dog friendly. It was even better than the photos. Communication with the property manager was prompt and easy. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen supplies/appliances and we were very comfortable.

The location of this property on a very beautiful and quiet lake is outstanding. It has everything that you need for a comfortable stay. This is a camp. There are lots of bugs in the area as you would expect because you’re surrounded by the woods in the water. Bring bug spray for the evenings.
The beds are all comfortable and clean. Lots of outdoor toys and a ton of old school video games if you’re into that stuff. The kitchen had everything we needed.
We used the on-site boat ramp and pulled our fishing boat up to the dock. We fished the lake that the cabin is on (Smith lake) and wore out largemouth bass all week. We also trailered the boat five minutes and put in at Mille Lacs lake. Those days we had a great time catching walleye, northern pike, rocks bass and small mouth.
Our host, Mike, had great communication and was very responsive. He checked in before we arrived and then several times during our stay. He seems very attentive.
I would highly recommend this property if you want to relaxing vacation in the woods and lakes! We will be back!
