"Barhroom and the room needed updating and work done. Trim and wood was very worn/weathered, couldn’t find channels on TV Roku, pictures on internet looked better than actual place, bedding was old and had stains, bed was comfortable, pool was closed, staff were helpful. Whole really does need a remodel. For $150 I was expecting a little bit nicer place. It worked ok since we just needed a place to sleep."

Wizard's LOTR Cabin: New Treehouse Addition! Pet-friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"Great cabin, great communication, perfect spot for a weekend stay!"

Star-Gazer LOTR Treehouse. Mordor corner.

10/10 Excellent

"The house itself, is amazing. Truly a feeling of whimsy and wonder. Everything is clean, and there are little signs everywhere to help you figure out how everything functions in what is essentially a Tiny House. That said, there were two glaring issues. 1. Before leaving to check in, we informed the host that we'd be arriving in the dark. The host said ok. The instructions say to "just pull in and drive on back". It also says the house number is *redacted*. What it doesn't mention, is that the mailbox for *redacted* is on the other side of the road, and everything is pitch black. This resulted is driving onto someone else's property and into their yard. I don't need to tell anyone that this could have ended VERY badly. If the neighbors were not understanding and kind, we could have been shot. This is unreal that the host would not tell us that the property is not where the mailbox is. 2. This property does not have a hot tub. The hot tub is 100 yards away, down a hill, attached to a private residence where the manager lives. Hot tubs are meant to be private, intimate settings. We absolutely did not feel comfortable using a hot tub in full view of strangers (it's literally right in front of a huge glass sliding door.)These things should be fixed, and the property will be perfect."

Luxurious Cozy Log Cabin in the Woods, Private getaway at the lake!

10/10 Excellent

"The log cabin is the epitome of what a log cabin should look and feel like.We had a great time and made memories none of us will forget.If there was anything negative to say it would only be the got tub wasn't available, but it is what it is. The interior was everything we hoped for. The bathrooms were modern, the rooms were spacious, the entertainment area downstairs was perfect. We had a fire going almost All my family wants to come back. If this log cabin is available over Christmas, there's not another cabin that could get you in the Christmas spirit, it would be amaizing to stay in a cabin like this over the holidays."

Big Birch Lake Cabin & Shoreline Bunkhouse - Dock, Sunset Views, Family Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"The home: Me and 6 other girlfriends booked the home for a weekend getaway. The lake property was absolutely beautiful! It was extremely stocked with everything you need in my each part of the home. The backyard was beautiful as well. 3 of us stayed in the bunk house and the view of the lake as soon as you open I opened was incredibly soothing. I highly recommend the rental for both adults only or for families! The hosts: they were so kind and very responsive. The questions that we had even before we arrived were all answered. Overall: "

Lakefront Hot Tub - Cabin w/ Views, Fire Pit, Dock, Kayaks & Pontoon!

10/10 Excellent

"Place was clean, larger than expected, in a very picturesque spot, host was communicative and responded quickly to any questions, and the hot tub was pretty cool too. No notes, would stay here again."

Year round home on Lake Osakis, Minnesota.

8/10 Good

"It was a great get-away for our family. Megan was a great host getting back to me whenever I had a question. The weather was great and we got a lot of sunshine. Just our last day it was a bit windy. The sunsets were awesome. The house was very clean with comfortable beds and we were so happy to have two bathrooms. We missed having a wood fire and making smores. There were plenty of yard games available. We played games in the large yard. Negatives:The water level was low and was not pleased with the grass growing in the shallow water. The grass was tangling in the boat motor. The fan helped somewhat. We did not like the plastic plates, bowls and cups. We prefer glass."
