The weather was great, my grand children enjoyed the beach and playing in the water. We've been doing these mini vacations for several years with our whole family and I think this was one of the best vrbos we have stayed at. We had a great time and I would recommend this place to anyone.

Oh my goodness we loved the place so much that we booked for next year before we left! The owners were amazing to work with and were so quick to respond to every message we sent to them. The property was very big, extremely nice and clean, had everything we needed and wanted!

Quiet relaxed setting. Great view of the lake from the house and yard. Awesome sunrises. Tons of sleeping space for families. Plenty of games and activities for everyone. 15 min. to town. It's not upscale but it is clean and well kept.

This is our 3rd straight year renting this lake home. Our kids and grandkids love everything about the home, the lake, the proximity to town and other opportunities. It's just simply been a blessing to our family.

Great property! House is in a great location on a very nice lake. This is our 15th Labor Day VRBO and this one gave us the best bang for our buck. Only negative was it could've been cleaner inside and lawn wasn't mowed. Otherwise the inside has many area to gather and spend time. Outside had a nice clean beach, plenty of parking, enough yard for games, deck and patio. The garage with the games was a total bonus we didn't even know about. This was a great family Labor Day Vacay!

The essential items are provided, no tissues. They have a side by side refrigerator/freezer, so limited space. There is a basement bar size refrigerator. Nice beach area, small quiet lake. We enjoyed our time here and will probably return next year!

Excellent Stay and a Beautiful Property

My friends and I had a wonderful time up north. There were 7 of us in total with plenty of room to sleep and move around the cabin. They have so many fun games at the place and a big yard/beach that you can use to enjoy the outdoors. Finally, this location has great access to Brainerd, Baxter, and very nice golf courses in the area. Highly recommend for a stay!

Cute place on a quiet lake

Cute house, clean, quiet neighborhood and quiet lake. Lake is weedy and small but easily kayaked. The public beach is large and clean and easy to get to. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, plenty of space indoor and out.
