This property was all that was advertised! It is right on the lake and the views are awesome. The pet area outside was a great design and easy for us. Alex is a wonderful hostess. She responded almost immediately when we had questions. The kitchen has everything we needed and had very nice pans and utensils. We loved our stay here and plan to return.

Nice Family Getaway
The proximity to Stillwater and the Twin Cities was ideal for our stay. Our kids loved fishing off the dock and we had a great time kayaking.

Beautiful, clean, a true Retreat
It is a beautiful, clean, retreat-like spot. We were grateful the soaps, body wash, shampoo and conditioner were unscented. The kitchen had everything we needed-nice plates (two sizes), bowls, serving pieces, nice silverware, glasses, plastic cups, an assortment of pots and pans. The beds were amazing so comfortable. We realized we need a new bed at home. The 2nd refrigerator was a surprise. We did the flowers for the wedding and had a place to keep them for the next day. The host so responsive and so quick to respond. It is a great view of the water, which I loved.

Winter get away!
We brought in the New Year at this lovely home. They had a Christmas tree which made it very festive. We appreciated the open common areas for games and food. The little touches of folded towels on beds, the unique towel folding in the bathrooms just added that extra welcoming touch. We all enjoyed the sauna on the deck. The property manager was quick to respond with any questions we had. We would highly recommend this home! We would love to come back and enjoy the lake in the summer months.
