Everything was great, we loved the place! Very cozy with lots of nice books and games (whole game room is 5-star). Hooks and nooks where you need them! Very safe staircases indoor and outdoor. Easy lake access, appreciated having puddle board and kayak. Boat was great, we used paddle board paddles. Enjoyed coffee on the front gazebo. Kids loved ninja course for swinging! Thank you, Sandra!!!

Great house w/lots of amenities!

House was very clean. Lots of things to do: fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, board games, pool, shuffleboard, lawn games, nice deck for sitting and watching a campfire. There is even a small aluminum fishing boat with a small trolling motor and battery. This was a pleasant surprise!

Winter Wonderland

Perfect location for those looking to xx ski and fish. Miles of groomed trails nearby and unlimited back country skiing via the lake and Chippewa National Forest. We loved how quiet the lake was. No human activity other than our group. The dogs had a blast exploring the national forest and its critters. Fishing was fantastic. There's a large sunken bar about 3/4 mile east of the cabin that supported a diverse fish community. The cabin is so spacious with the massive game room attached. So many sleeping options too. Thanks to Sandra and team for the accommodations! Highly recommend this location!!

Relaxing

My family enjoyed the game room and solitude of the property. Access to the docks was a little interesting. The railing was shakey and access was steep, going down to the docks. Once down by the lake, it was amazing. The Loon calla were my favorite part of the stay. My son enjoyed the boat, fishing and taking the kayak out. All in all it was a great experience. There were only 4 of us staying. If our group had been bigger, the 1 bathroom would have been a challenge. We appreciated being a le to bring the dogs.

Great property, one of our party dropped out so it was only 3 of us, and daughter may have been a bit bored at times. But the game room was awesome, would be great for a larger group. Host very responsive. Had some bad weather, was colder than expected for August, so not much time in the water. Recommend the Friday Fish Fry and the Lost 40 park. Beautiful, peaceful area.

Amazing Property!

I’m hesitant to give a shining review because I am afraid that so many people will want to book based on this and it won’t be available when I want it! This was an amazing property, clean, safe, well cared for, with great hosts! I booked my trip for the next year the day after check out to make sure I didn’t miss out! Highly recommended!

Activites galore! Lovely place to stay

Our family of 8 stayed for two nights in September, a beautiful setting in woods near lake. The cabin was so spacious with two sitting areas, kitchen, two bedrooms and the game area, plus all the extra sleeping areas. We enjoyed the lake the first day, as paddleboards, swimming raft and a small boat provided, kids absolutely loved that. The second day it rained which did not hinder the fun as we played games (even bean bag toss) all day and watched movies. A wonderful rental and we all were very pleased.

Great summer place for a week or so.

This place can sleep about a zillion people, but keep in mind there is only one bathroom! This place has a garage full of fun, whether it's shuffleboard, pool or one of many board games. If the weather agrees, there are paddle boards and a couple of funny two person kayak things - in addition to one of those big mat things and a swim platform. Kitchen is very well stocked and there are more TVs than anyone really should need. Our trip had us visiting around mid-September, so we had a few nice warm days and cool clear nights. I can't say much for what might have been around there, as I spent most of my days trying to do little to nothing. A little paddling, a lot of reading, catching a few rays.

Perfect family get away

If you are looking for a nice quiet secluded retreat to reconnect with nature and family, this place has it all. Bonus it is just a short drive from a bigger city that has all the restaurants and city life amenities you might need. Sandra is a wonderful host who responds very quickly with any questions you may have. Could not be more pleased with our stay and look forward to coming back.

Family Getaway

What an incredible hidden secret in Minnesota! The cabin was immaculate inside and out - we never left! When the weather was cooler the kids had so much to do - whether it was playing ping pong and pool or numerous board games the host provided. Most of our time was spent on the water - paddle boarding, kayaking or jumping of what my kids called the "fruit roll-up"! Again all provided by the host. My Colorado kids got the true Minnesota life experience and we would definitely recommend this to families looking for a peaceful getaway.
