The house is beautiful - it was easy to find - and Paul was such a welcoming host! 10 of us stayed a Thursday to Sunday and there was room to spare. The only thing we missed was a hand mixer for my mom's birthday angel food cake!

They were a wonderful group to have took good care of the home. They are welcome back
We had such a wonderful time staying here. We were here for time with family and we had lots of room. We got to bring our dogs at a very reasonable price and we spent time on the pontoon which was included. Paul the owner was very kind and wanted to make sure if we needed anything to call him. We would come back again and stay longer next time. Check this out you won't be disappointed!!

Thank u sunny Thanks for leaving the home in great condition ur guys were very appreciated. Love to have u back contact for a great renter discount on ur next visit
The owner, Paul, was friendly and truly wanted to provide the best experience he could for us. The remodeled house had a cozy cabin vibe and included a well stocked kitchen, lots of sleeping areas and bathrooms. The back patio was our favorite place to hang out with a lovely view. The fire pit attached to the porch was great to have. We loved the included pontoon and the option to bring our dog. Also, our grandson loved the swing. I have mobility issues so a few things were challenging but not impossible: slope/incline to the dock/lake, high top kitchen chairs and a few steps into the house at all entrances.

About the host
Hosted by Paul DesLauriers
Paul is the heart and hands behind this stunning log cabin style rambler. A retired police officer, skilled carpenter and master fisherman, this home is a charming reflection of his passions. Over the ten years he has owned this property, he has put every piece of wood, rock and stone in place to create the beautiful up north experience we all love.
Friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to help guests reel in a big one, Paul thrives on teaching and sharing his lifelong knowledge of Lake Osakis.
Why they chose this property
Osakis is a quiet, charming town. Population 1771. It is a lake that Paul grew up on and would bring his kids to when they were growing up. There is always good fishing (especially May and June), clear, deep water, stunning wild life and friendly people.
What makes this property unique
Lovingly transformed by Paul, a skilled craftsman and avid outdoors man, this "cabin" blends rustic charm with the comfort of a modern home. Spacious with a cozy stone fireplace, updated, modern amenities, and room for your whole crew without a hint of "roughing it". You'll also find the fully stocked man cave/garage perfect for card games, movie nights, or passing the time on a rainy day. Outside there is a place to clean your catch and prep a lakeside feast.
