The view, dock, beach, and yard were all amazing. Unfortunately the deck was not in good condition for little kids. It looks to be under construction. The kitchen was stocked very well, and the rooms were clean. Overall a great few days!

The Lakeview,beach area was beautiful! The house was very clean and beautiful! Unfortunately some things inside were broken, and the deck was under construction with a big pile of debree by the house and both were very unsafe and hazardous to us,especially the kids! The gas grill is very rusted out and needs much attention! The frig ice maker doesnt work well. We had good communucation with the homeowners and did get some compensation for our stay.

"We're thrilled you loved the beautiful lakeview, beach area, and found our home beautifully decorated and clean! We take guest comfort and safety seriously. Our deck is fully completed and cleared of any work materials, and we have inspected the refrigerator ice maker to ensure it is in perfect working order. We have also thoroughly serviced our outdoor grill. While we always aim to go above and beyond to accommodate our guests—including providing proactive compensation—we appreciate your feedback as we continue to maintain a pristine and welcoming property for future travelers."

Nice house, beautiful spot on the lake

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The outdoor space, beach, and location on the lake were all amazing. The yard is large and flat, which our kids loved running around on, and the beach area with the fire pit was a great bonus. The water is clear and shallow for several yards out, perfect for kids. Inside, the house has cute cabin decor, a well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of linens.That said, the cabin could use some maintenance and upgrades. The grill was so worn and dirty that it actually caught fire on our first night. The deck also had large holes in the boards, covered only by plywood and rugs, which our kids kept tripping on.To his credit, the owner hand-delivered a new grill the next morning, and we really appreciated how quickly he addressed the issue.

Perfect spot for a small class reunion.

The house was beautiful and roomy and a great setting for a reunion. A great spot to gather and talk, enjoy meals, and have options for shopping and exploring Nisswa or just lounging. We plan to do it again next year.

Beautiful lake home

The home was beautiful and well cleaned. Having a dock to fish off of was great. A cute little beach for the kids to play in with an awesome fire pit. Will definitely come back again for our family gathering.

Great Time!

We had the best time here! The home was clean, well laid out for everyone and they had everything we needed (infant needs, kitchen items, games, kayaks and paddle board). Bon-fires were fun. The lake was excellent for boating, fishing and tubing! Thank you for everything.
