Extremely clean property in a great location, 15 minutes to downtown Minneapolis. The lake is more like a large pond- we did use one of the kayaks and one of the paddle boats. It was lovely!The home has retained its 70’s charm which we enjoyed. The host let us check in an hour early and check out an hour late- so appreciated! Beds were comfy. Kitchen well stocked. Would stay here again!

The layout of this space was perfect for our family vacation. Appreciated the gated yard, the hot tub and got a lot of use from the kayaks and paddleboats. We could stay inside but still observe the fun outside.The kitchen was very well equipped. Was easy to make all our meals for the trip. Plenty of towels and supplies in the bathrooms. The check out list is simple and quick, which helps with the early check out time.

Relaxing retreat
Our party of 9 had a lovely week exploring Minneapolis and the surrounding area. There was plenty of room for us to all be comfortable as we prepared for and relaxed after each adventure. Hot tub was great. Kayaks were fun. Didn't run out of towels! Laundry room was a life-saver. Had everything we needed.

Everything We Could Want!
This lakehouse was by far the best provisoned and cleanest home we have ever rented. Our family group of 9 adults (26-98), 3-year old, and infant thoroughly enjoyed its openness, beautiful view, neighborhood walking/running trails & playground, and the boats. Nothing is better than kayaking or peddle-boating peacefully away from the people you love!
We are cooks, and found the kitchen to be a delight. Great pots and pans & utensils, plenty of dishes, ample counterspace for several cooks simultaneously. The labeling of cupboards & drawers, and the large basket of snacks were much appreciated! The blender is topnotch, and the coffeemaker and electric kettle also very nice. Coffee and tea, as well as many spices, are provided.
The bathrooms have terrific showerheads, and niceties like cotton pads and Q-tips are provided. Having 3 full bathrooms was a godsend.
The deck is huge. If you look closely at the photos, you'll see it is narrow where the sliding doors are but then opens to a very spacious covered area with a picnic table.
Baby and child supples are plentiful: a travel crib, high chair, toys, games, plentiful kids' dishes and tablewear etc. So helpful!
We stayed 6 nights and didn’t have time to use the hot tub or pool table, but having them as possibilities was great. The racks of like-new PFDs for the water covered probably every possible size, with many available in each size. Read about the amenities and study the photos to fully appreciate this gem!

40th Anniversary Gathering
Gathered the clan from TX, IA, MN, and NC to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. This house was roomy, comfortable, clean, and fun. Hard to improve on it for our group of 9 adults and 2 kids … there was enough room for people to be together or retreat as each needed. Kayaks, fishing, and pedal boats were good diversions. Brought our bikes and enjoyed the nearby bike trails. The only thing that brought down my rating was the hot tub surface had a bit of an oil slick; tub sides were clean but the oil was a little off putting. Everyone got in and enjoyed the evening anyway.
Would 100% recommend and would return if we had similar needs in future.

Home away from home
Home was in a great safe location tucked in a nice neighborhood. The house had lots of space and plenty of space to sleep many people. The host was great to work with as well.
