My youngest daughter was married with reception in Albert Lea and all of us were from out of town needing a central hangout spot. Our families include all ages. Everyone raved again and again how perfect this cabin met our needs, especially as the weather was bitter cold and we spent so much time in doors. Highly recommend and would definitely come back if the need arose.

Highly recommend this spacious well cared for property. Perfect place for a family get together (4 siblings and spouses). It was a great space to gather and also have some quiet privacy. All the little touches made it feel like home away from home. It is stocked with everything you need for a truly a stress free stay. Loved the screened-in porch and fire pit.

This was by far the best equipped rental we’ve ever stayed in. They have thought of everything. We had ages 5 to 75 and everyone found what they needed. The kids had tons of toys and things to stay entertained. The grandparents could relax on the screen porch and enjoy the view. We hope to return again.
