Perfect Summer Getaway!

Our family of five had a wonderful week at this cabin! The cabin was very clean and the lake was beautiful! The beach was sandy and the water was clear! We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe and paddle boat daily and of course spent many hours just floating on the lake. Bruce was very welcoming and friendly during our stay. We will definitely rent this cabin again.

Little getaway

Great place to stay. Breathtaking view of lake and autumn trees. Had a great time fishing. Loose dogs was a little concern but overall was not too much of problem, with my own dog. We would definitely stay again, next season.

Perfect place to relax

The property was in a great location with great views of the lake. The deck with table and picnic table, the big swing, the grill and the fire pit made enjoying the lake easy. And being able to use the boats was a great addition. Just a great place to stay. We will be back.

On Lake Time

Beautiful, relaxing spot for a week at the lake with my college-aged daughters. The lake was perfect for swimming, floating, and kayaking, and the cabin was clean and comfortable. The deck, just a few steps from the lake, was absolutely delightful. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Lake Ethel cabin

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this charming Lake Ethel cabin. It’s a true quintessential Minnesota cabin. We had a wonderful time, the neighbors and property owner were extremely nice and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Next time though it will be in the summer because the lake was so clean and clear with a beautiful sandy bottom, great for swimming.
