Nice cabin. Everything was as it was listed. Very shallow beach area not good for swimming but we didn’t mind as we brought our own boat. Only downside is no real grocery stores near by. The market in town is far to expensive to try to get groceries for 8-9 people for the week

great place took a little bit to figure out the lights and the fans, switches behind the curtains. but not far from Brainerd and quiet neighbors.
