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 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!

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.

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!!

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.

Such an awesome place! Loved the large covered porch, big backyard looking out at the water, kayaks, and fire pit. The inside is actually super spacious- more like 3 bedrooms! Host was very friendly and helpful! Only “downsides” is there’s only 1 very small shower and the place didn’t come with Kleenex or paper towel.

The perfect cabin

We loved this cabin! The fully stocked kitchen, the beautiful landscaped yard, the deck with two dining tables, we're all perfect for our needs. The views of the lake were tremendous. There was a ton of wildlife viewing, and the fishing was very good.Thank you for a wonderful stay, we look forward to being back again soon.Annie and Dar

Amazing getaway

Our family enjoyed our long weekend on Fish Trap lake. The cabin felt like a true family cabin and it was wonderful. While a large place, it felt cozy and inviting. We took advantage of the board games during the evenings and amazing lakefront during the day. Definitely will consider for future trips to MN!!
