Great cabin. What I liked the most is kids playroom with variety of toys, kept out 4 and 2 yo entertained for the entire stay. Separate game room kept our teenagers entertained as well. Interior design is very modern and stylish. Location is just perfect, 5 minutes to Costco, Wallmart, Target. Close to Brainerd, Nisswa and Gull lake ( 20 min drive).

Amazing Amenities
This rental was amazing for our needs. We were in town for a family wedding, and the location was great. The view was very enjoyable. And the owners were very accommodating to our special needs. This was the best stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! The coffee bar was so nice, the extra toiletries Were very thoughtful, and we had plenty of towels and bedding. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to stay in this area.

Relaxing, quiet, entraining
It was definitely a “home away from home”. The garage was perfect for any night owls or for kiddos to get some energy out. It was also a great space to celebrate my brothers graduation from Teen Challenge. No complaints at all. We can’t wait to book again this summer to enjoy the outdoor amenities

We'll definitely be back!
We had an amazing stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The house was clean and absolutely adorable—such a charming place! The property was well maintained and stunning, making for a great getaway. We loved everything it had to offer, from the fun-filled game room to the stunning views. Coffee in the morning was the best! The location was perfect, too. Lots to do in the area! We’re already planning our next visit—but next time for a longer stay! Scott was incredibly kind, with excellent communication and quick response times. Having stayed at several VRBO properties, I can confidently say this one is at the top of the list. Don’t hesitate to book—this place is perfect!
