Nice place on a quiet lake.

Great week long stay for our family of 5 and a dog. Great quiet lake. At times it felt like we were the only ones around. Large yard for the dog to run around and nice little beach for the kids to play in the sand. Close to cross lake and Nisswa. Fantastic breakfast place right up the road. Had everything we needed.

Great little getaway!

Very nice area tucked back with a great deal of privacy and a large yard and deck. The deck and the dock both really need some repairs and the one door to the deck had a broken knob. Overall it was a great stay and we would stay here again.

We enjoyed the lake behind the house. We have a son with arm crutches so the stairs were inconvenient for him. It was a nice place for a small family. Nice kayaks and one for everyone to go out together.

Cabin on Silver Lake

Our stay was nice. The cabin was clean and comfortable but several things are in need of repair. The door to the deck was taped to stay unlocked and the handle broken, the doors to the master closet were off, the shades were broken in the living room. The biggest issue was the door on the patio being unlocked.

The Inside of the home was nice, plenty of dishes etc. The bed in the master bedroom was a sleep number and everything was clean on arrival. The only issue on the inside was the rust in the well water, which caused very little kitchen sink water pressure, but the bathroom showers were like getting acupuncture. The outside of the cabin (deck, siding, dock, extra buildings) could use some upkeep and maintenance. The deck is in much need of repair (screws popping, rotting wood, holes). The exterior siding had holes in it that allow other bugs and rodents (bats) find homes. The outbuilding had standing water (mosquito breading ground). Overall, our stay was fun and relaxing on this very big property. The neighbors are far away and never really saw anyone.

Peaceful, Well-Stocked Kitchen Family Gem

We had a beautiful stay at this modern yet rustic home. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of space for family to spread out both indoors and out and great space for our lab to run with natural boundaries. We loved the large yard, beach area, seeing all the little fish, learning how to Kayak and the fire pit area to make smores! Some improvements could be made with a new dock and deck that have been well loved by the changing seasons and a fresh set of frying pans could enhance the cook's finished products. The open staircase might make it not the best fit if you have very young children. There is a slight smell to the water when showering which I believe is due to the hardness of the water but didn't bother us. The property manager is very responsive and the owner cares about the visitor's experience. You won't go wrong choosing this space to take a break from the fast pace of life with your family. We would certainly book again!

Cabin is nice but needs more TLC. Cons: Dilapidated buildings as you drive in...Our biggest issue was the iron in the water. Bring a lot of drinking water to drink, cook with and for your dog.A rust out filter would be a great addition. All 3 beds are uncomfortable...need replacing. The stairs are very noisy and need a handrail! Some simple cosmetic fixes in the Loft would make it a lot more appealing. As other reviewers said, the dock is in very poor condition as is the decking. If you are a bigger person, be careful walking on the dock.Pros: huge yard with a lot of privacy and wonderful for dogs and kids to play, a basketball hoop, lovely sandy beach for kids, fire pit, comfortable furniture other than beds, nice towels, well stocked kitchen supplies, fun game table, nice appliances, newer carpet and flooring, large kitchen, laundry facilities, 2 bathrooms, good layout. It rained every day during our stay, so my husband and I left early as we could only play so many games. The rest of our adult family stayed and enjoyed time together. Overall, it is a great place and many of us are more particular than others.

Great stay!

We had a great stay. Loved the location and the space itself. The lot was especially nice and beach area was cleared out and lovely for kids to swim. Note, there aren’t blinds in the bedrooms, bring eye masks!

Nice Place To Stay - Relaxing Getaway

Stayed at this cabin with my wife, 2 dogs, and newborn. Overall, a good place to stay. The home itself is not extensive in terms of size/indoor space but has everything needed and an excellent outdoor space with multiple chairs, large yard, outdoor heater, firepit, and lake access with small beach and dock. Very peaceful. Five minute drive to access the Paul Bunyon trail in Merrifield (nothing to do in this Merrifield with very limited options but the home is within 15-20 minutes of Nisswa and Brainerd). Would stay here again.

This was a very peaceful and quiet vacation we had a couple of dear come to visit us we seen eagles and wild turkeys the cabin was very nice. The steps going upstairs was a bit sketchy they could use some type of hand rails and the boards on the deck should be replaced the kayaks were very nice and the view of the lake was wonderful

Relaxing getaway

We absolutely loved our long weekend at this property. We went fishing off the dock, kayaked around the serene lake, grilled steaks while the kids played soccer and enjoyed the beautiful sounds of wildlife at night. We would love to go back soon!

My family really enjoyed staying at the property, it was just the right size to get everyone together. It was winter when we visited, but the lake had just frozen over and it made for some beautiful sunrise photos! Would love to come back during the summer!

Nice, quiet getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed this quaint cabin. Very private, nice sandy beach and beautiful small clear lake. We enjoyed using the kayaks and just floating in the lake. Lots of wildlife with an eagle perching next door, loved listening to the loons and even a visit from a doe. We would definitely go back!

Great Hospitality

The cabin was perfect for our family with 3 young kids. It was very clean (cleaner than any cabin I've stayed in) and there was a lot of thought put into having a fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, extra linens, outdoor seating, etc. The big, flat yard was perfect for our lab to run around in, and it was nice to have quiet and privacy! The sandy beach was shallow but ideal for our young kids to swim in. They greatly enjoyed fishing the small perch off the dock. Also, it was nice to have Brainerd so close for restaurants and grocery stores! The property owner reached out via text the day we arrived and was quick to respond to any questions I had. Would stay here again.

Perfect location

We stayed at this cabin for 3 nights. The beds were comfortable and my kids slept great each night. They enjoyed playing in the sandy beach and catching fish during the day. We heard the loons while sitting by the fire. The cabins location was very private l, we didn't notice any neighbors. The cabin had the basic necessities available to cook meals. The cabin was located close to Brainerd to enjoy some activities or do some shopping. Overall, this is a great cabin for a relaxing vacation.

Three night stay on Silver Lake

This was a great place to spend our summer getaway on the water. The cabin was very clean and neat. The kitchen and dining area had plenty of space for entertaining family. The kitchen was well stocked with any cooking equipment and plenty of dishes & glassware. The cabin had two spacious bathrooms and two bedrooms. It was nice touch in the large master bedroom to have a king size bed and gas fireplace. The outdoor grill and fire pit propane tanks were filled and easy to use. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family. A very nice property.
