Absolutely, beautiful location. Had everything we were wanting to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everday life. Enjoyed the lake, wildlife, firepit and everyday sitting on the deck with our coffee. Could not have asked for better accommodations.

Great place at the lake

This was the second time we spent a week at this cabin. My husband enjoyed the lake and the fish he caught, and I enjoyed a relaxing stay in a comfortable, cozy house. The cabin is decorated beautifully, and it is obvious that the owner takes pride in the place.

Great place for a quiet getaway

My husband and I stayed for six nights and enjoyed the place thoroughly. Super clean, very comfortable, well-equipped, obviously very thoughtfully prepared for our visit. Also, my husband says the fishing was superb! We are seriously considering a return trip next spring.

Spent a relaxing week at this property. Only left once to get a new battery for our boat. Very quiet on the weekdays we were there, busier closer to the weekend. Had a great time swimming and fishing. Caught fish for dinner 2 nights. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Home Away from Home

Beautiful well-kept property! Mom, Dad, Aunt & Uncle needed a nice quiet place to relax in between the weekend festivities of our daughter/goddaughter’s wedding at The Barn at Stoney Hill. It was perfect! Comfortable sleeping accommodations and a beautiful porch to enjoy our morning coffee while overlooking the lake. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We will certainly return to enjoy a more traditional lake experience.

Great spot for a fall getaway.

We loved this property. We spent our days exploring the region - shopping, hiking, etc and returned to the cabin for afternoon/evening melas and games. This was perfect! Beautiful, well kept, cozy and warm. Well stocked kitchen for cooking, beautiful living room to relax!

Comfortable Clean Cabin on the Lake

Very comfy beds and furniture, very clean and a beautiful view of the lake. Property is well-maintained and the location is quiet, except for the area trains which never blow their horns. We definitely hope to return next summer. Oh… and the handmade Quilts in the beds are absolutely gorgeous!! Easy drive to Baxter, Nisswa and Alexandria. Thanks for a great vacation!!

Great stay!

We loved the place and the lake. It is an amazing bass lake and we cannot wait to go back. We spent most of the time on the lake, so not too much in the house. The only downside would be the lack of light in the bathroom downstairs. Overall.. we will be back! :)

1676 Fish Trap Lake

* It all starts with a excellent responsive host - Two thumbs up * The Property is very clean outside and in. The boat house had some webs. * The cabin is very solid. not creaky - very quiet when moving around early in the morning. you won't wake any sleepy heads. * Our stay was in early to mid May so not many people at the resorts or other cabins yet so it was very quiet and very peaceful. Sitting at the end of the dock while look over the glass like water and listening to the birds was a memory I will enjoy. * water clarity was crystal clear *We met one neighbor and they were very nice people. We felt safe and secure. *Two thumbs up from start to finish.

Absolutely amazing

Loved this place. Very clean and the location is amazing! The only thing I would change is the pine tree in the front yard where you park, just because we ended up eith a lot of tree sap on our vehicles. Overall I would highly recommend this place

Annual Family Vacation

Absolutely beautiful and CLEAN property! My family and I had the best time. Communication with Camille was fantastic. All the beds were very comfortable (the bunk bed a little squeaky), plenty of bathroom towels, kitchen Cookware, utensils, and small appliances. The lake was beautiful and not too busy. We rented a pontoon for the week from Campfire Resort and took may boat rides around the lake. We were so grateful for the Central Air as the week was very hot. When renting a VRBO, I always rely on the reviews before booking. This cabin is definitely a 5 star and my family and I highly recommend it! We had the best time and made lots of family memories. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us! We enjoyed ourselves so much!
