Quiet, lovely place only a short drive from the cities. Great outdoor space, plenty of bedrooms and places to sit. Beds were comfortable. Lake was great for swimming and we enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards.

Thanks so much, Kristine! I’m really glad you enjoyed the space and took advantage of the lake and all the outdoor fun. You were a fantastic guest — respectful, easy to communicate with, and left everything in great shape. We’d love to have you back anytime!
The cabin is clean , updated and stocked well. It has plenty of room to spread out. The lake is a great size and beautiful. We loved the sauna and outdoor shower

Laura great to hear you and your family enjoyed your holiday week up on Oak Lake. I would love to host you and your family again and I appreciate you being such great guests and leaving my family cabin clean.
It's so quiet here that you can hear the hummingbirds! It's a beautiful home.

My Wife Kelley and I often find ourselves in the front porch while the sun is rising, drinking coffee, and watching the Humming birds. Thanks Renee for being such great guests. Safe travels.
Beautiful property and so neat to stay in this old farmhouse. The kids really got a kick out of it. The lake was perfect and the pontoon was great to use on the lake.

Thanks Megan for being great guests. You and your family welcome back. Safe travels until then.
We had a wonderful experience at the Ferguson farmhouse. We really appreciate Ronn for all of his assistance when needed. I highly recommend this property and host! We made great use of all of the amenities (sauna, patio, fire pit, black stone grill, basketball court, paddle boards and pontoon)! Perfect place for our family get together! Great memories were made!

Thanks Lisa for being great guests: It’s always nice to hear about the great memories and fun that my guests made during their stay. It’s been my family cabin for 19 years until last year when my children started college.
We had a fun time staying here with friends – the place was comfortable and perfect for a group getaway. However, one thing that bothered us was that the listing didn’t mention anything about cameras on the property. As a group, we felt a little violated finding out about them after arriving. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the space for our trip.

Thanks so much for staying with us and for the great feedback! I’m really glad to hear you and your group had a fun and comfortable stay.
I totally understand your concern about the cameras — I should’ve made that more clear in the listing. Just to clarify, there are cameras: one in the breezeway, one on the porch (both watching the entry doors), and a couple around the exterior of the property for security purposes only. There are absolutely no cameras inside the home or anywhere private. I’ll update the listing to make sure that’s clear for future guests.
Really appreciate you bringing it up, and I’m happy you still enjoyed the trip overall! Safe travels Ron and Kelley.
The property was exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of space for the kids and enough space to have privacy. Ron was very generous and had squirt guns and water balloons for them which they thoroughly enjoyed. Great place to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet. Already planning our next trip to the farmhouse.

Thanks Al I’m looking forward to hosting you and your guests this winter for your snowmobiling week up in Nemadji State Forest. Safe travels.
We enjoyed our stay. The property was in a fine location right on the lake. There were a few minuses, like the upstairs bathroom/shower could have been in better shape, but overall this spot was worth the money spent. We weren’t too successful with our fishing efforts but that was more on us than the owner. Overall, would recommend the property.

Thank you for your feedback. It helps me make things better for you and future guests. Fishing in the spring my bay is great for Sunny’s, bass, and northern. ( I have caught a 36 northern off my dock and 4lbs bass. ) Summer in deeper parts of the lake. Ice fishing is good next to all the other people ice fishing. Walleye I have done well in deeper parts of the lake in May.
Although the property is updated, it retains the characteristics of a farmhouse. The kitchen was updated, but still had, what look like, original built-ins. The bathrooms were updated, but the bedrooms looked original with hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and antique hardware. The lake was good and almost empty on Thursday and Friday. It got busier on Saturday (about 10 boats), but still didn't feel busy. We didn't get a chance to try out the sauna.The owner was responsive, check-in and access were easy. Overall we had a great time at the property.
The space and location worked out great to gather with our kids and grandkids for a long weekend. The farmhouse is beautiful, and there is lots of room to gather inside and out. We enjoyed activities like kayaking, fishing, yard games, and the sauna. There are 3 different spots to enjoy a campfire, which was great. The only drawback we had in our experience was that there wasn't an area to swim due to weeds and algae. Everything else was great!

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. My children favorite place to swim is the bay north. It’s 15-20 feet deep. They take the pontoon and jump off and swim with noodles. Thanks.
We very much enjoyed our week on Oak Lake! The property is beautiful with many opportunities for activities (basketball, yard games, bonfires, horseshoes, etc.!)
We enjoyed relaxing sunset cruises on the pontoon, evenings roasting s'mores on the patio, and many meals on the included Blackstone griddle.
The area is close to many attractions. We visited Moose Lake State Park and enjoyed a day trip to Duluth.
The house was charming, clean and comfortable! We had ample space for our group of 6 adults and 2 kids. It was a nice getaway with many of the comforts of home.
Thank you to the owners for sharing your property with us!
This old farmhouse has charm. There are plenty of activities provided to keep you busy rain or shine. It is a nice drive to Duluth for shopping and dining. The fully stocked kitchen allows you to cook your own meals. In fact we spent many hours in the beautiful kitchen visiting. The sunrise and sunset were breathtaking. The many seating areas let you take in the view and relax.
The beds were comfortable. The sauna is fantastic. What a wonderful experience to enjoy. We will definitely be renting again.

Kim and her guests are welcome back anytime. Thank you Kim for being great guests and leaving my family cabin clean.
The farm house was great. We especially enjoyed renting the pontoon from Ron. All communication with Ron was easy and timely. Having the portable fire pit on the patio right outside the back door was nice. We also made use of the Blackstone grill. We had fun with all of the available games such as cornhole and croquet. We didn't use the available sauna, but I'm sure many folks do.
We had a wonderful time! We had 5 adults & had room for more! 2 kayaks, a paddle board & canoe were available for our use. House creeks but that's what old houses do. Beds were so comfortable! Grill & Blackstone (and all the extras for the Blackstone) available for use. The lake was good & fish were caught. Ron was great & very easy to work with. He showed up shortly after we got there & explained where stuff was that we might need. The house was perfect. 3 fire pits, awesome, comfy patio furniture, comfy sun porch. Perfect house! We will look into the Farmhouse again when we vacation to Minnesota.

Thanks Stacy. You and your family are welcome back anytime. My cleaner Kim appreciated how clean you left the place.
A home away from home, while feeling yourself relax into a peaceful vacation mode! A clean and temperature controlled , property with a tasteful balance of , old farmhouse blending into modern day features! We had Grandparents with needs of main level living features and younger enjoyed plenty of space on the upstairs bedroom/bath areas. Everyone found a comfortable place to sleep after expending time and energy outdoors either on the water, or yard space! All enjoyed opportunity at smore time around a fire after ease of meals were had. The Blackstone and modern kitchen made meals a breeze. The indoor and outdoor dining features were comfortable and inviting!
Ron, thank you! We could not have asked for a more welcoming nor enjoyable, vacation experience!
Best to you!
