My family has rented this lake home multiple times, usually in the summer. This time we stayed late October / early November. It has plenty of space and everything you need, and a quick drive into Aberdeen. We will definitely stay here again.

Spacious, comfortable lake location perfect for gatherings!

Our families enjoyed staying in this comfortable, clean, well-stocked and updated home on Lake Mina for a long weekend. The multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to gather are ideal! Having the dock to launch our kayaks and tie up our boat was a bonus. If you are looking for a relaxing setting to enjoy time at the lake, book this listing.

Great lake-house with lots of room

The property was clean and properly stocked. Lots of room for guests to sleep and to entertain. There were only two people in our group but there was plenty of room for more. Great house, great property with great views. We plan to return.

Sistercation!

Every year my sisters and I take a vacation together. We decided a quiet lake house was just what we needed. This home was perfect! The home is very clean, and fully stocked!! We do not need for anything! Our only disappointment was not having some sort of boat to travel around lake Mina, that was our fault tho! 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️All the way around!

We loved this place! We drove from WA state to stay here for a family member’s Celebration of Life. It was a beautiful, comfortable setting for family & friends to gather and we appreciated all of the amenities and special seating areas. The fishing was great off of the dock and those dock mounted chairs were great. The skeeters were out in force and we thought we were prepared, but bring more. Lol. We also appreciated finding a nice place to have our family dogs stay with us as they do in our own homes. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home on the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Hagan 612-414-3918

Host profile image
The original design for the cabin was found and featured in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. My parents purchased the property and built a large lower level walkout addition to the property. This was my childhood summer home, I have many fond memories of this place water skiing and fishing. I live in the Twin Cities now and I try to make it home as much as i can...I felt that turning the cabin into a VRBO property I could share it with others and still have the ability to use it myself when available.

Why they chose this property

This was my childhood summer home I enjoyed many days fishing, hunting and waterskiing here my parents worked very hard to make this place very special and blessed me with its safe keeping.

What makes this property unique

The lake home is very close to many activities I Love to do fishing, hunting, golfing and seeing old friends...it is close to town but far enough away to be a hideaway very quiet and peaceful...its easy to just enjoy the lake views and daydream an afternoon away. this property is perfect for family reunions and or summer or winter gatherings as well.
