Was able to get all the family together at 1 location. The kayaks were a big hit. The grill and fire pit were a plus as well.

We stayed over the 4th of July weekend. We were a family of 6, grandparents and our grandchildren family of 4. Kids ages 7 and 10. We enjoyed our stay but the house had many pros and cons. Some we knew about from the photos, but some let downs.Pros:Large house 2 separate living areas. Each family had some private space.Ping pong, foosball, games, kayaks,Mike from management was very responsive and brought us things that were missing. He even brought us some plasticware so that we could enjoy eating outside with the children.Lots of towels and good washer and dryer.Town of Nisswa had many shops, 4th activities and great fireworks.Cons:Not owner occupied at all. The property was weedy and unkept.Paddle board was unusable. Broken skeg. Only one adult life preserver.Although games for kids were available, most had missing pieces or broken.2 story layout is difficult to use with the grill at the garage and no outside table nearby. It is quite the distance from upstairs kitchen to the picnic table in the yard with foods and tableware.The boathouse is only good for storage. It is not usable for sitting, it is full of dirt and spider webs.The dock is sagging and needs repairs.The bunk room has no closet or storage.We enjoyed the kayaks and the kids swam in the middle of the lake off of a large inflatable raft that we brought. The kids enjoyed the large yard, large garage with ping pong and corn hole games.This is not a house that we would rent again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house had a little for everyone. Some enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the lake while others enjoyed relaxing near the bonfire while taking in the beautiful sunset. The house itself was roomy enough for all 5 of us and the two levels allowed us to each have our own space. We even loved having the garage to play bags and ping pong when it was raining. We would definitely stay here again.

A stunning property! It is secluded with a massive yard, plenty of yard games, a grill, ping pong, and a beautiful interior. Could not recommend this place more!

Labor Day weekend
Very nice quiet location, lots of room and amenities to use and enjoy. Beautiful lakeside yard with fire pit and space to enjoy the outdoors. Though there are neighbors nearby, they are not visible from the house or yard. Perfect size for a family.
