Stayed here over the winter while helping some family do some moving. Perfect Property for what we needed plus more. Every morning waking up to the beautiful sunrise over the frozen lake. Comfy warm living room with fireplace and plenty of seating. John was extremely helpful with our check in process. 5 stars and we hope to stay again.

the host was very responsive to any request or questions. the property was clean and well maintaining. screened in porch was a bonus to feel like you were outside even when the weather did not cooperate. located on small lake so little to no boat traffic. We were visited by loons almost every morning and evening. we had pets they loved it also. located within 15 minutes to grocery store with plenty of places to closer than that if you are not a griller. We will definitely stay again. Only down fall is that it is located near Brainerd International Raceway, so the days they had practice or an event we could hear the track noise and wasn't nearly so serene.
