The cabin’s location was great, and easy to access. We enjoyed the open concept living area, especially the centralized fire place. The kitchen was well stocked, and there were more than enough beds for sleeping. Our family enjoys multiple levels in a cabin, to provide everyone some “getaway” space. We even enjoyed the fire pit outdoors.
Our second stay was just as good, if not better, than our first. Wonderful setting, beautiful home, and an amazing time! A perfect meeting place between the Twin Cities and Bemidji to meet for a get together with the whole family. Can ’t wait until next year!

Thank you for staying with us! I greatly appreciate it and certainly hope you come back some time!
We had all 12 members of our family here for a family vacation. The Log cabin Home was very beautiful, and had all the cooking utensils you would need to make a meal for 12. The kids loved the lily pad and the paddle boat and the bonfires we had at night. But remember to bring your own wood bundles. Mike, the property manager answered all our text when we had questions or concerns.The home was also very clean when we arrived. You can’t go wrong renting this place.

The property is amazing. About 25 minutes away from Brainerd, but still fun and quiet and beautiful. Would’ve loved to been earlier in the year so we could’ve used the boat. Definitely a nice place to stay.
Great property with plenty of room. Nice and quiet in the winter with only a few year round residents around. Looking forward to a summer trip and making use of the huge covered deck area.
Lovely property and neighborhood. Lots of room for everyone. The kids had a great time with the lilypad and the kayaks and paddleboat. Nicely equipped with games and a nice fire pit!

Stunning location, stunning house - lots of room, fantastic amenities. We were also visiting family that we have not seen for 23 years, this house meant we had a good base and we were also able to have them all over for dinner.

I am soo glad everything worked out for your group! We hope you book sometime again in the future!
We came from Bemidji and met our family that lives in the Twin Cities for a great weekend away. It was a perfect location for us all. We watched our daughter at a dance competition then spent the rest of the weekend hanging out spending time together. The house was large and inviting, giving us enough space to all feel comfortable, yet with a warm and cozy feeling. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed. Overall, a wonderful experience and stay. Before we left, we all agreed we’d love to come back again sometime in the near future!
We could not have been more pleased with our stay at this property. The property is clean, has all the amenities we needed and was perfect to hold our 12 teens and adults. The boat dock is wonderful and the kayaks were awesome for the boys to take out to the lake. Kids had great dock fishing. Plenty of space for us to spread out in the house. Five Stars. Highly recommend!

We greatly appreciate you staying with us! We are glad it worked for your group and hope you come back some time!
I cannot say enough about this log home. It is beautiful, the craftmanship is amazing. With the living areas on all three areas, each family unit had their own floor and therefore privacy, yet we were all together. One of the most delightful aspects of the home is the covered porch. We lived out there. It's not on a great lake for swimming or fishing, but it was restful and beautiful to sit and enjoy.

Thank you for staying with us and for the kind review! We do hope you come back sometime!
We decided to do a family trip this year in lieu of Christmas gifts for the first time last year. This stay was the resulting trip!
It was 3 families, so being able to have our own bathrooms was perfect. There was plenty of space everywhere! We loved taking the kayaks out in the morning, going for walks and runs in the neighborhood, and Mike was able to connect us with someone to rent a pontoon from.
Everyone in the neighborhood was so friendly and it was peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed not being directly in Brainerd/Nisswa and coming after labor day meant traffic was a little less and the weather was perfect.
We would definitely stay here again!

Code violations - Unsafe Electrical and Loft Guard Rails
Immediately notified property manager of many unsafe conditions and no effort was made by owner to resolve the simplest of life safety issues. The interior and exterior railings serving loft are unsafe and do not meet building code. We did not allow little kid to go upstairs to loft.
It appears that the entire lower-level bedrooms (2), and family TV room were done without permit or inspections.
Electrical system has many unsafe issues including, missing interconnected smoke detectors at each level per building code. Lower level (basement) bedrooms missing smoke detectors in each room and are also missing combo smoke/carbon monoxide detectors within 10' of exterior (hallways) of bedrooms.
Property was apparently not used for some time and was very dirty upon arrival - host returned our cleaning fee. We took many photos of conditions to substantiate our claims here.
We invite owner to contact us directly if any questions. We would also like owner to provide a partial refund as this property is not safe. Property manager reports owner signed an agreement stating property is safe to occupy - it is not!
We ended up leaving a day early and notified property manager of such in advance, we just did not feel safe at this property.

There is certainly much more to your stay than is explained here; however, we take these accusations of safety and code issues very seriously. Let me state some facts and then detail some of our immediate course of action. The owner purchased this home two years and had it inspected. The home is a professionally built 25-year-old unique log home. As with all owners he did sign a contract stating the home had been recently inspected, was safe and up to the code and believed it was. We have unlisted the property until we are certain any issues are resolved. I have a very qualified code and safety inspector scheduled this week. He does safety and compliance for multiple counties in central MN to ensure homes are fully compliant for short term rentals. Any and all code and safety issues will be fully remedied. All guests in the interim will be made aware of any issues. I will update the listing in the description and pictures to prove that all concerns have been fully taken care of. Of course, the safety of our guests is our number one priority. I sincerely appreciate you letting us know about any safety issues so they can be resolved immediately.
