Multi-family vacation
I went up with my family and in-laws, and this was a perfect rental for our stay! The guest house was perfect for grandpa and grandma, and then two families with 5 kids ranging from ages 7-17 stayed in the main house. AC and a couple fans that were provided kept us very comfortable on a warm summer week. Great working kitchen, comfortable beds, cabin was very well stocked with supplies, as well as fun things to do. Plenty of kitchen utensils, glassware, plates, bowls, etc. Nice collection of appliances—coffee pots, crock pot, blender, etc. Extra fridge in basement and additional smaller fridge in the guest house, so there was plenty of space to bring groceries for a longer stay. Gas grill worked well and large enough for a decent amount of food. Outdoor games (beanbags, croquet, can jam), board games, puzzles, and books available to use. Plenty of space to spread out, even on a rainy day—living room, game room, office, dining area with extra sitting space, and even the space in the garage with a fouton, a little golf putting mat, etc. Beautiful deck, beautiful view! Location was great! Quiet space, hardly any traffic, but also a very quick drive to restaurants, ice cream shops, and a grocery/market. We had a great time at this cabin and would highly recommend!!

Cozy and well stocked. The two cabins held our 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 3 to 14) with plenty of room. House layout allows people to have their own space. Plenty of outdoor seating for all. We brought our own boat and loved exploring the chain of lakes. (Also loved the restaurants accessible by boat.) Beach area by our dock was too weedy for kids swimming but a company came in while we were there and removed some of it, which helped. We found boating to the amazing sandbar on Cross Lake worked best for kids swimming. Kids also loved fishing off our dock for small bass and sunfish. The ice cream shop in town is a must to visit with 36 flavors. We had a wonderful vacation. Suggesting a blanket for the guest cabin and maybe an extra saucepan and frypan in main cabin. Dishes and bakeware provided...fantastic! We didn’t find any beach towels but had brought out own.

Family summer get away
This property had plenty of room for the 12 of us. The guest house was great for my son and his family who have an active 2 year old who could nap without being disturbed. The house was well stocked. The 6 grandchildren enjoyed the large circle drive where they could use their scooters. The kids enjoyed the lily pad because the lake water was a little murky for some of them. Plus we spotted a couple very large turtles. They enjoyed catching fish off the dock with nets and poles. The owner Keith was quick to answer questions and concerns that we had. We had a great few days away.

Minnesota lake Vacation
We have been doing “Cabin/Resort” vacations all my life. We have rented on the White Fish Chain the last three years and this cabin and property is the best overall out of the three. The Space was functional and spacious for all 9 of us. Everything we needed for meals was available in the kitchen area. Even with an additional two guests for two nights all were comfortable. The guest cabin was great for the "senior"family members. We brought our own boat and were able to access the entire White Fish Chain of Lakes from the property and were able to tie up to the dock every night. The cabin is located in a small bay that is easy to access all lakes from. The beach was a great hit with my Three year old grandson but due to weeds (the property is in a bay after all) we would boat out to main lake and do all our water sports including swimming. Games, fire pit, and spacious grounds made this an excellent family vacation and would definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved it!
I stayed here with my husband, my 18 month old daughter, and his parents who aren't able to get around very easily. With that said, finding a cabin that fit everyone's needs was difficult in such a desired spot. My daughter did great, the house is a little hard to baby proof but manageable. The steps down to the lake are gradual so my father in law could do this. We also rented a pontoon right around the corner which was perfect for everyone to get in and out. The owners of this property are a gem. They answered every question i had, very accommodating, and super responsive. I would highly suggest this place to anyone!

The exact definition of Lake Cabin Rental
Cannot say enough about how great this place is. When you think of lake cabin rentals this is the one. Very comfortable and cozy cabin and separate guest house. Everything needed was provided. Please note that bathrooms are located at 2 different places in cabin but easy to get to. Excellent lighting outside for parked vehicles. Lots of bedroom sleeping areas.
Would recommend this rental for any family gathering that would require a separate living area (the guest cabin) for grandparents or other family members.Excellent rental and communication before arrival was 100%!

Relaxing
We had a very relaxing Labor Day weekend ! The space worked well for us. The layout of the sleeping areas works well for family groups to each have their own space. With children from 4 months - 16 years, there was something for everyone. The splash pad was probably the biggest hit, but they also enjoyed some fishing off the dock (tiny sunfish are exciting when you are 8-10) and some loud games of foosball! The access to the water is good, with a small portion of sand for little ones to play in. They had fun decorating with shells. We also lucked out with gorgeous weather, so were really able to enjoy the water.

Wonderful vacation on Daggett Lake
Our extended family of 10 (five adults and five kids ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years) had a wonderful time at this property last week! A special perk was the guest house which my husband and I (the parents/grandparents of this group) stayed in. It offered everything we needed - including peace and quiet for a little extra rest! 😴
The main house offered plenty of room for everyone. We especially liked the floor plan with room to move all about and two separate eating areas overlooking the lake. One of the things we appreciated most about the location of this property is its proximity to Cross Lake which is where we did most of our tubing and water-skiing (we brought our own boat). We also boated from Daggett Lake all the way through the chain of lakes which was fun.
I gave this property five stars all the way around except for location which I gave four. The only reason for this is that some readers may want a more private property. This one has neighbors on both sides and is more like a little neighborhood. But as we drove around this area, this seems to be the norm. That said, the neighbors were very quiet! And the property's close proximity to town made it easy to run in for groceries and a night out for pizza.
Oh - and for those who have little ones, the little sand area by the lakeshore is great! The three youngest spent hours playing there. (Be sure to bring your own beach toys.)
I would definitely recommend this property! Thank you, Kevin!
