We enjoyed our stay at this large, cozy cabin. The view is beautiful and surroundings are peaceful. This was the perfect place for our annual cousins weekend.
Such a lovely cabin! Perfect for a girls weekend away with longtime friends. Plenty of space with wonderful views from every window. Great kitchen space with open dining area and living room complete with a beautiful stone gas fireplace. Hosts were great with communication and very accommodating.
The lake house was perfect for our families! the kitchen was well equipped, plenty of towels for swimming and showering and the hot tub was enjoyed by all of us. We would certainly love to come again!
The cottage was good for us. The lake is small but we could still enjoy our time.

Hi Rita & Gary,
I’m sorry we could not deliver a 5-star experience for you and your guests. I hope the lake size was not a surprise despite your tour of the property last fall.
We strive to provide a great experience for all our guests and look for continual improvement. I hope our accommodations for your requests were helpful and beneficial to your stay.
Thanks again!

Really great property for a family or group gathering. The house was great with 2 levels to hang out in, screened in porch, and awesome area to hang outside. The kids loved the hot tub and roasting s’mores by the fire. We would definitely recommend this property.
Beautiful cabin with a lot of room!! Great for a large group. Cabin was well stocked with all necessities!! Wonderful patio area by the lake! Enjoyed the weekend and would highly recommend this VRBO!!
We could not have asked for a more picturesque property for fall colors. The house had a beautiful panorama of the changing leaves. We enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. I would highly recommend staying here!
We had 11 girls stay on the property for a cozy November weekend it was the PERFECT getaway. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, they had the whole place set up and were quick to respond and help when I couldn’t figure out the fire place. We will absolutely be coming back next year if we’re able to!
Even though the weather didn’t really cooperate for our stay, we greatly enjoyed the property. The hot tub was luxurious and our 4 year-old loved the books, games and puzzles that were available. The screened in porch and kayaks were nice touches as well. Would definitely recommend and consider going back.
Our extended family had a great week-long stay. We were able to cook meals for our group of 10 in the kitchen and seat everyone together around the big table. The house layout worked well for different activities and games, whether we wanted to be together as a whole group or find a quiet spot to read. The lake was fun to play in and we made good use of the canoes to explore the area.
This home was great for our family gathering. Kitchen well stocked. Beds were very comfortable and lots of room for a everyone. Very easy home to have younger kids as there are minimal to no knick-knacks to worry about! (there is a spiral staircase, but there is a gate at the top for safety if needed) Yard was great. Nice sandy area for kids to play. All enjoyed the hot-tub and kayaks!! The lake was a weedy but once we pushed the swim raft out a bit it was better. Fun fishing off the dock.
This cabin is a dream! Perfectly clean, comfy beds, plenty of space, well stocked. Jason and Melanie were super responsive and helpful with everything we needed, leading up to the trip and while we were there. The location is perfect- we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the living room together with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake. Would love to come back here again, I’d recommend this to anyone!
We loved our week here! So many cozy places to relax. The screen porch was the favorite, as well as the chairs by the beech. The kids caught fish from the shore and the dock. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. It had everything we needed
Not only is the entire area and property absolutely picture-perfect stunning, but the amenities and instructions were wonderful! The HOT TUB was A-MAZING and everything was well organized and easy to use. The entire lake home was so clean and cute with ample parking. The hosts go above and beyond with great customer service! This place is a yearly MUST for us going forward and we would recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Jason, Melanie and kids live in Delano, MN and have a passion for providing a wonderful family experience for those looking to escape to a peaceful retreat.
We have stayed at several vacation rental properties and have seen the good and the bad. Our goal is to create a great experience for guests from the first time they arrive at the property right through check-out. We believe first impressions are extremely important in setting the tone our guests stay.
Why they chose this property
This property has so many "wow factors" for you and your family to enjoy. It's located at the end of the road next to state-owned land so you can enjoy a peaceful setting. - Relax in the 3-season screen porch. Enjoy your morning coffee, or the cool breeze in the afternoon. - Entertain your guests with a meal on the main-level deck or the lakeside patio. - Sit around the backyard-lakeside firepit in the evenings. - You can watch both sunrises if you're a morning person, or the sunsets in the evening. - Cozy up next to the fireplace inside while still enjoying views of the lake. - Let the kids play in the private enclosed beach. - Bring your boat or just fish off the dock.
