Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the size of the lake and the feeling of remoteness yet being so close to Nisswa, Brainerd/Baxter, and all of the fun things they have to offer.

What makes this property unique

We have tried very hard to ensure that you have everything you need to have a great time and that it's stocked at the house for your stay. The house has been updated with a modern farmhouse look with a lake-ish vibe.
