Nice cottage out on a beautiful little lake.

We had such a lovely time! The cabin was outfitted with everything we needed and more, and it was so nice to have the extra space in the bunkhouse. Our kids loved swimming, outings in the paddleboat and kayaks, and playing with all of the different toys. It was so nice to have different ways to enjoy time outdoors - swimming, reading on the hammock, cooking on the grill, eating outside, making smores around the fire, and the list goes on. It was a beautiful property and so nice to just walk out to the lake. Would definitely return and recommend!

Myself and 4 friends comfortably stayed here and recommend it. We are all in our 30's and enjoyed the easy walk down to the lake, and provided boats. We also all had comfortable sleeping arrangements and really appreciated the host's email with local places to visit! A great mini vacation. The driveway did get muddy but it rained a fair bit and we made it out so it wasn't too bad. Otherwise LOTS of sunfish and some of us fished right off the docks with ease. Also enjoyed all the wildlife.

The cabin was a great home base for the week of our Minnesota adventures. The kitchen was well stocked and the living space was comfy and cozy. The lake view was gorgeous each morning and evening. We fished off the dock and enjoyed seeing loons and ducks. The only downside is there isn't a washer or dryer - a week's worth of lake and fishing produced quite a bit of stinky laundry. The cabin was clean and had plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. Overall we had a very nice stay.
