Perfect spot for our golf and fantasy draft weekend. 3 buildings, nice outdoor gathering spot under large pergola. Everything was clean, tidy etc. lake was a bit weedy and not super swim friendly but I still floated under the sun and stars for a spell regardless. Immediately responsive host when we had a code issue.
Perfect little getaway cabin for families with kiddos. The main cabin is cute and cozy! The two other mini cabins are really cool, our kids loved them. Great communication from the host- highly recommend.
Not to mention, Lakes Tavern and Tasty Pizza are both within walking/ biking distance. So fun!
Everything was very clean and decorated so cute! We didnt get to spend a ton of time there but it was very comfortable and they had everything you could need. We loved it and would definitely stay again. Not to mention a beautiful view right on the lake!

Get-a-way to relax
My wife and I found this "diamond" on the lake. Has everything you could want. we stayed in the main cottage and, we of course had to look in the two other cottages that had everything we could want, need, and desire!
We regretfully had to leave, but we are planning our return date for next year.

Guys Golf Stay
Very well maintained property. Served our group of 9 guys on a three-day golf vacation extremely well. Everyone had their own bed. The main cabin and all the guest houses had air conditioners, which were crucial for the hot days.
Some people fished, kayaked, and built campfires. Others were able to relax indoors and watch movies when they needed a break.
The kitchen was nice and well stocked with utensils. We grilled for a couple meals, and the outdoor shelter was awesome for prepping food and eating.
Great place. Very clean. Super close to Nisswa and Pequot Lakes. Everyone commented how nice it was.

Beautiful cozy cabin
This was a lovely cabin on a beautiful lakeside. The cabin has been renovated and is very up-to-date and comfortable. We did not stay in the extra cabins, but took a peek and they look awesome as well. Loved this place.
