Great place!

The house was wonderful, plenty of room for each of us to have our own space, but lots of areas for us to enjoy together! The location of the property was not far from places to eat and enjoy :)

Great place to stay

We had a great time as a family. The place was clean, beds comfortable, as well as the seating areas in the living room and downstairs. We enjoyed a fire one night roasting hot dogs and smores. Thanks so much for the firewood. Thank you for a nice stay.

Very nice property

We had a very comfortable stay. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The space wasn’t quite as clean as I hoped. There was sticky stuff on the counter, crumbs on the dining table, and some leaves and pine needles on the floor. I cleaned it up and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Wonderful Spot!

Already talking with friends about coming back next year. Great spot, great location, great water access (we swam and kayaked), great host. The only tiny comment is that it is close to 371 and you can hear a bit of traffic. Not a big deal, and we’d come back again, but it is there. All good!

Family Christmas weekend

The property was easy to find and looked just as the photos had advertised. The downstairs beds were not very comfortable but we made it work by having some people sleep on couches. Would have been nice to have extra pillows and blankets available for the beds. It was clean and the host was very responsive! Beautiful views too!

Exceed Our Expectations! It Deserves 10 Stars!

We are are a national auto racing series and rented the property for our staff supportin an event at nearby Brainerd Int'l Raceway. This property was very well appointed, the host was a delight to work with (very responsive), home was equipped with everything we needed and more and is so conveniently located on a very gorgeous and peaceful lake. We will for sure be back!

Our stay was great and the property is very nice and well stocked. The Host is very responsive. I would stay here again. However, the photo's are not up to date with regards to furniture in the living room and basement. I only point this out because what you see currently (white furniture appears to sit 5 people comfortably but that is not what is in the front room). I believe they brought the furniture up from the basement which is a sectional which only really only fits 4 adults comfortably. We had five in our group so one always had to sit at the kitchen table. Also, the door in the basement that leads you outside is in need of some major clean up so you felt comfortable using it (Cobwebs, and overgrown weeds). If you don't plan on using that door than not a big deal. Also, I wouldn't base your decision to rent the place based on the above comments. Like I said we would stay here again if in the area. We enjoyed kayaking in the bay area right out front of the house as the waters were very calm and the lake is very clear. Beds were comfortable and the Arcade games in the basement were a hit.

Wonderful Family/Friendly House

The house is very nice and clean. We enjoyed the backyard fishing and fire pit. The house is nicely located in the middle of some nice cities. The air didn't work when we got there, so it was very warm, but Emily had someone out there right away to get it taken care of.
