Very Relaxing and Quiet

We live in the Twin Cities, so the quietness and relaxing atmosphere was a wonderful change of pace. The check-in was smooth, the cabin was very clean, and other than the rainy weather was overall a very good experience for the whole family.

Family had a great time. We were pleased that the sleeping space in the basement has been upgraded from a trundell bed to a bunk bed. Deck was perfect with two tables with umbrellas. Kitchen was well stocked and plenty of towels for showers. One of the beds upstairs is quite high and was not easy to use for our shorter/elderly folks. We did have to bring in our own air purifier as the basement had a bit of a musty smell as the dehumidifier had not been turned on. Game room area was a hit with our younger family members. We are already registered for next year.

Great stay! Beautiful sunsets!

We had a nice, peaceful stay at the property. It was very clean and well-stocked with short drives to get everything we needed. The couple of issues we had (figuring out the TV upstairs) were handled promptly when we reached out. The host was nothing but nice and helpful. The views from the deck were spectacular and we enjoyed use of the kayaks and paddleboat.I wish we could have rented the pontoon but it was down for engine trouble but we still had a wonderful time. Hope we can get there again next year!

Quiet, peaceful getaway

We had a lovely time at the cabin. There are a few small things we would have changed. The place could have used a bit more cleaning (there was dog poop in the front yard, and dog hair under the living room couch that floated out when the ceiling fan was on). The upstairs TV was a little old, so we couldn't use Hulu or Disney plus on it, so there wasn't much to watch. However, the house was large and very accommodating. There were plenty of water toys, and the trail nearby gave us a lot to do with our time. The host was very polite. We had a very fun time and would love to return next year!

This was a great place! The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a perfect location for biking on the Heartland and Paul Bunyan trails. It was nice to relax outside on the deck, and you couldn't ask for a better sunset view! Definitely one of the best places we've stayed at!

Remarkable stay

The cabin had all the amenities we needed, the campfire was stocked, the lake accessories were perfect. We say the Northern lights the first night of our stay and we laid on the dock for two hours to watch them. the location was perfect for the trails. The view from the deck was beautiful and it was so peaceful. We will definitely be back again.

Great week at the lake

It was a great week at the lake! The cabin had every amenity you could possibly need. It was in a great location, was quiet and had plenty of privacy. We enjoyed being so close to the Heartland Trail also. The deck was our favorite part and we spent a good portion of our stay on the deck reading and enjoying the views. We greatly appreciated being able to bring our dogs along for a week at the lake also.

Great location on a wonderful lake

We had a marvelous time on a wonderful lake with beautiful views. Great biking to Walker, Nevis and Park Rapids on the bike path that is pretty much out the front door. Lots of sunnies and bass to catch off the dock and wonderful kayaking and floating on the lake.The cabin was perfect for our needs and we highly recommend staying here.
