Dan was responsive to our requests and the cabin worked well for our family. One reason I did not rate it 5 stars was the busy highway. I know that is out of the owners control but it was a bit distracting.

Great view, busy road
We had a good time for 3 nights with 7 adults. I think there was just enough space for the 7 of us overall to lounge around. The couch is horrendous though. The road is very busy and not super easy to cross or enter onto, but the view of the lake is great. The AC worked well eventually but was not on when we arrived making it very hot inside. The host was very responsive. Great selection of movies for rainy days.

Deer camp upgrade
This was a really nice upgrade from our typical deer camp. There were plenty of beds and space for a group of hunters.

Cozy Lake Retreat
The kitchen was well stocked with necessary utensils for in cabin cooking. Two refrigerators was great.
It was within reasonable driving distance for excellent dinning and unique shops.
The lighting in the living needs improvement as it was pretty dim if you wanted to read.

Everything was great. The only setback is the noise from traffic. They have a milllion dollar view.

May Mille Lacs stay
The house was super clean and had all the essentials anyone would ever need. It was decorated very cute. Dan (the host) was always available for questions through email which was very impressive. It was a perfect getaway minus the mayflies. We do not recommend vacationing while they are there. Which of course is completely out of the owners control. We had a great time otherwise.

Cozy Place
It is a nice cozy cabin that fits 10 people easily. We rented the place for our son and his friends to celebrate our son's 16th birthday. The boys had a blast. They had fun playing volleyball, walking on the frozen lake, playing games. Thank you for hosting!
