Perfect friends get away.
From the cozy and spacious living space to the beautiful outdoor area, this place has it all. Our hosts had everything and more for kitchen amenities and outdoor games/rec gear. They were very quick to bring us more household supplies when needed. We enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit as well. Definitely would visit again!

Great place!
We were in the area for a family reunion. We were grateful to have this place to come to afterwards. We wished we had more time to spend here. It was very comfortable and there was a lot to do. The sunset on the lake was beautiful and the morning fog rolling on the water was breathtaking. The hosts were friendly and accommodating.

Long weekend getaway
My husband and I had a great time relaxing and enjoying the lakes area from the twin cities. The place was great! Although we really didn't have time to enjoy the lake, we loved the whirlpool tub and a cozy night watching TV and reading. The beds were comfortable, place was very clean and Rick was a great host. Thanks for the stay!!

A quiet cabin getaway!
We had our combined Bachelor/bachelorette party here with a bunch of us friends. The check in was easy with Rick greeting us immediately and giving us a tour. After going kayaking with the two provided and the additional we brought, we decided to hang out by the fire. It was super kind Rick chopped up some extra wood for us to burn. The night was followed by hanging out and enjoying the peace and quiet. The next morning we stayed busy all while enjoying the area near the Cabin. There is a couple small bars with food and drinks nearby. To end, the check out was easy with his wife saying her goodbyes. This was most definitely a fantastic pre-wedding party for my friend and his fiancé.

A nice spot
Everything was just as listed. By the end of the long weekend we spent there, we were worn out going up and down the stairs to get into the living space. Not for the faint of heart. The lake access was exactly what we wanted and the outdoor space was very large for a lakefront property.
