Our stay was for a family Christmas, with 12 adults and 8 children. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays, the rooms and beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all of the amenities we needed. We weren't able to use the hot tub due to the bitterly cold weather, but the movie theater was a hit! Communication with the host prior to our stay was great and the check-in process was easy. Very spacious, so we never felt overcrowded with kids and adults. Would definitely stay again!

The house is huge! We had plenty of room for our group of 13! The rooms are all nice and spacious as well as bathrooms! We had had a few minor issues, but the owner was very responsive and addressed them right away. Check in and check out was very easy. We used the boat lift and dock which was nice to have.

Great place for large family gathering

This property was wonderful for our large family to celebrate the holidays together. Lots of bedrooms, large kitchen, theatre room and game area in basement provided plenty of space for everyone. The host even had the home decorated for Christmas which was a lovely surprise! We would love to stay again. We also paid extra for the hot tub, it worked great and had a beautiful view of the lake.

The property was very nice but I had some strange interactions with the host. To begin, two minutes after booking the host called to offer that we take this deal off the VRBO site to avoid the fees. I did not want to violate VRBO rules or fall victim to a scam so I did not take the host up on the offer. I stayed at the home with no issues until after checkout. A few days after I left and did what I thought was everything required of me, the host began to nickel and dime me on claims of minor details such as furniture that was not exactly where it was supposed to be. They claimed pictures were off kilter (how hard is that to fix), claims of lights being left on, and the laundry room being a mess (there were sheets from every bed placed there as required by the host). The host reached out on my cell via text to try and get money for these things. Then the host brought up the hot tub fee, which was very unclear on the original posting (it has since been changed). The hot tub was listed as a home amenity and the listing stated no hidden fees (I have a screenshot). This has been changed on the listing since I went back and forth with the host. I very much enjoyed the property but should let folks know that even after leaving the space very clean with no damage they attempted to get more money from me.

First of all this review isn’t quite accurate… It wasn’t that just some of the decor was messed with… A lot of the pictures were intentionally hung upside down. Including the American flag in the recreational room.Other decor and furniture were strewn around… Specifically stated in our checkout process to return things to where they were.We have a pretty easy checkout process… Which includes turning down the heat, turning off lights, return all laundry to the laundry room… That was not done… I noticed the hot tub was used and inquired with the Renter and they said they used it… I asked him how he would like to pay for it… He refused so I was forced to get the fee through VRBO!

Plenty of rooms and beds for every one. Ample parking space upfront. Place had everything in for our stay. Movie room is awesome and everyone loved it.

Beautiful house on the lake for large families!

Overall, the house was beautiful and just as described on the listing and fit our huge family of 20. There was more than enough room for us to hang out and relax. The kids love the ping pong table and pool table and adults loved the movie theater room. They had tons of stuff to play outside like the bags and kayaks. They had lots of towels for the bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, baking trays, anything you needed they had it! Only item missing was paper towels/napkins which was fine. The only issue was the cleanliness and a little bit of maintenance items. Like the other reviews said, some of the railings were unsteady and wobbly so we were scared for the kids to use it and lean on it. The railing upstairs and the railing going down to the lake.The bbq grill needed a good cleaning. All of the bathrooms needed a good deep clean. We did pay extra for the hot tub but when we got there it was green water and had brown bubbles coming out of it when we turned it on, so that was disappointing since the lake water was too cold to swim in. The owner did refund us as we were not comfortable using it as it seemed unsanitary. The owner is very responsive and had good communication when we had any questions and issues with the place. The house is a little outdated, if they worked on the cleanliness a little more and fix a few items to keep up the house, this would be 5 out of 5 stars! Even with the issues, if we would come again!

Less than ideal

To begin, the property owner was extremely responsive and some of our issues were out of his control. However, the biggest gripes out of the stay came down to three things.... Lack of cleanliness, mice feces, and lake itch. Yes, I know lake itch is completely outside of their control and I don't blame them. However, after going to town to the pharmacy to get creams, the lady working there said the lake is known to have lake itch all summer. I guess, just a disclaimer would have been nice to have. Lack of cleanliness, washing off the counter when we got there and the rag came back black. Dead bugs... I get it, that happens but the bugs were EVERYWHERE... Centerpieces, table tops, carpet, etc. Noticed on the first day that the main floor bathroom had crusted pee on the floor behind it. Ick!!!! The last straw was the mice. My mom could here scurrying in the ceiling the first couple nights. Taking out any cooking pans, bowls, plates, etc we had to prewash as there was mouse poop in them! We were going to have a movie afternoon since the kids were miserable with lake itch, wanted to use the big popcorn maker. Figured I'd do a pre clean (with the track record for the weekend) and there was mouse turds at the bottom of the popcorn maker where the popcorn would lay. That was 3 days after we got there!! There were mouse traps every where and a mouse or two happens but this was bad. Owner didn't want to hear about the issues and denied it was a problem. Do have pictures.

Wow… we were at our lake home the day before and this review is ridiculous. Number one… lake itch? Of course this can happen occasionally but West Battle has an amazing reputation for being one of the best lakes in Minnesota. Number two… mice. We are a lake home, so of course we treat for mice… Traps and spraying. An occasional mouse is bound to happen. But to tell us that there were mice feces on our dinnerware and such is completely false. Again, we cleaned right as guest were arriving and we do all of the cleaning ourselves and take pride in our home. Would like to see the pictures that they claim they have because we asked and were never provided with them. If you see our previous reviews this one is completely out of character… Guests simply looking to get a refund and not have to pay for their time

Family vacation for 20 (3 - 69 yr old)

Our stay was awesome ! The home & property was perfect for our family- with 7000 square feet we had plenty of room- great bedrooms, huge recreation room and theatre! We spent a lot of time outdoors on the huge deck, lawn and on the lake . Battle Lake is beautiful - great for swimming, fishing and boating! Brian was great to work- we would highly recommend his home!!

Getaway

The land owner was very easy going and easy to work with. However i feel like we stopped the repair guys and cleaning service in the middle of there work preparing for the summer. The trash can in the kitchen wes full yet and some dishes were put away still dirty from cooking. It could have been cleaner and more organized. We were able to get the tvs working and sound system working with the help of a few family members and some batteries. Besides the hot tub not working it all was great. We made ourselves at home and had a great time. The place is very nice and roomy and would be beautiful when its ready and during summer months. I would recommend it but just be ready to make your self at home.
