Wonderful getaway with gorgeous lakefront views both inside & out. Altho we didn’t swim or kayak, the option for sandy walk-in or launching was available. Cabin was lovely, clean, & beds were comfortable. Thank you three sisters!

Relaxing lake retreat

This place had so many more amenities than we expected. There were floaties and sand toys for my toddler. There were even coloring books and inside toys. We had an amazing time.

We were met by the owners who were welcoming and gracious. The cabin exeeded our expectations. The house was spacious and well laid out, with a beautiful view of the lake. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. The lakeshore was easily accessible with a sandy bottom swimming area. We would love to come back and stay here again.

Great communication from the host, the cabin is comfortable, and the setting is beautiful. We used the cabin as base camp for deer season, but we also spent a day fishing on the lake. We went 4 for 4 in the deer woods, and we caught several very nice walleyes and a couple of northerns - the biggest of the walleye was 19" and the bigger of the northers was just shy of 31". The proximity to Brainerd is very nice, and you'll find anything that you need there. Recommended!

Quiet Getaway

We were in desperate need of a quiet getaway and that is exactly what we got! Our trip consisted mostly of reading our books and taking in the scenery in chairs facing the lake. The view is spectacular! The house is beautiful and equipped with anything we could have needed.

Communication could be better. Locks were changed, and we did not know about it. We stood outside for 45 minutes trying to get in. The bugs were eating us alive. Finally we got ahold of them through customer service and we were able to get in. They said they sent us a message about the lock change , but i never got it! Otherwise it was a nice place to stay at.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Middendorf

Host profile image
This property is co-owned by three sisters and their husbands. Having grown up on a lake, it has always been our dream to own a lake home. We love everything about lake life—relaxing, swimming, kayaking, fishing, sitting by the fire and making lasting memories by the water. There’s something truly special about waking up to peaceful lake views and ending the day with a sunset over the water. We’re thrilled to share our lake house with others so they can experience the joy and tranquility of lake living just as we do!

Why they chose this property

Our lake house offers the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to the Brainerd/Baxter area, just a short drive away. Enjoy the quiet beauty of lake life while being close to great shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the many activities available year-round. In warmer months, explore scenic hiking trails at nearby state parks or visit the local arboretum for beautiful gardens and nature walks. In winter, enjoy snowmobiling on extensive trail systems, cross-country skiing through wooded landscapes, or simply cozying up by the fire after a day of adventure.

For thrill-seekers, ziplining, Brainerd International Raceway, and a wildlife park offer exciting experiences. Golfers will also find excellent courses in the area. Whether you’re looking to relax by the lake, explore nature, or enjoy local attractions, our location has something for everyone!

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is its perfect combination of beautiful lakefront living and a variety of fun amenities for all guests to enjoy. With stunning views of the lake, you’ll feel immersed in nature from the moment you arrive. We have 5 kayaks available for guest use, allowing you to explore the serene waters at your leisure.

The garage is a great spot for extra fun, featuring ping pong, foosball, and BBQ grills for cooking up a meal outdoors. You’ll also find a bean bag toss and a pickleball set up, providing plenty of entertainment, even if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Relax around the firepit in the evening, perfect for making s'mores or enjoying the warmth as the sun sets over the lake.

Our kitchen is well-stocked, making it easy to cook meals at home, and we’ve provided games, books, and puzzles for cozy indoor entertainment. Plus, with Wifi and a TV, you’ll have everything you need to stay connected or unwind after a day of outdoor adventure.
