Best 4th of July

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this stunning lakeside rental property over the 4th of July weekend, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the serene beauty of the location and the thoughtful amenities that made our stay unforgettable.The house was immaculate, with modern furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, and cozy bedrooms. The outdoor space was equally impressive. The hosts were incredibly responsive, providing clear and concise instructions.The property’s private boat launch was a game-changer. We effortlessly launched our boat each morning and spent our days exploring the lake, fishing, and soaking in the summer sun. The convenience of the well-maintained launch made every outing seamless. The 4th of July fireworks over the lake were a highlight—viewed right from the property’s spacious beach and deck, it felt like a front-row seat to a private show!This property is a gem for anyone seeking a perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. The boat launch, prime location, and warm hospitality made our holiday weekend one for the books.

Spacious and Beautiful

Had an impromptu large family gathering, and this property was just right for our large group. The pictures don’t do it justice, what a gorgeous view! The weather did not cooperate very well, but if you are going to hole up this is the spot to do it. Well stocked, comfortable beds, fluffy towels, and plenty of space for all. The kids enjoyed the downstairs bunk beds, football, and TV. Would definitely stay again!

Loved it!

The most well stocked home we have stayed it. They have everything that you need here. I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but they have fixed the deck boards and bought new living room furniture. We had 10 adults and 1 child and the house was plenty big for all of us. We would stay here again.

Great Lake view home

Very large beautiful home, 3 car garage very handy to put toys overnight. Large well equipped kitchen with large dining table. Air conditioning worked good, bedrooms was bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Lake views were amazing both from inside thru huge windows and from wrap around porch. Kids enjoyed using the kayaks and swimming in lake and had a nice dock there for your boat. A good home and would rate it a strong 4 stars.

Beautiful home.

This is a beautiful home on Big Stone Lake. It is very roomy and up to date. The deck could use some updating but it didn’t stop us from any activity we wanted to do. We had planned for 8 adults and 7 children age 5 or less. There was plenty of room. The boat ramp by the home was very convenient. The owner was very responsive if we had questions. We had a great time. We would stay again.

Wonderful, restful time on Big Stone Lake for our family.

We had a great time over Labor Day weekend with our kids and grandkids. Since we stayed there last year, we were thrilled to see the brand new gas grill (thank you!) that we enjoyed using daily, and also the beautiful new double ovens (WOW!) in the kitchen. There is nothing this house lacks, they have thought of everything. The kitchen is well-stocked, there is an extra fridge in the garage if needed and a huge laundry room is available for use as well. The only thing we noticed that would be nice to have, is a working ice maker in the fridge in the kitchen. We noticed it last year too. We just went out and bought a large bag of ice, but ice in the door, ready to go would have been awesome! Thanks for a wonderful place to stay with lots of room for everyone. Hope to use it again next year! The Hengeveld Family

Family Reunion Retreat

We all enjoyed our stay on Big Stone Lake. The house is very spacious with plenty of room outdoors so even with 14 of us, we never felt crowded. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed right there. We enjoyed fishing off of the dock, playing lawn games, a bonfire, challenging each other to foosball games and just enjoying the view of the lake from the huge deck. When we wanted a swim day, we just drove the 10 minutes to Hartford Beach State Park. When we needed ice, firewood and bait, Schmidt's Landing was just a mile down the road. The home could use a little updating and love and it would have been nice if the hot tub was functional but we had a great weekend and the homeowner was very easy to work with. We would recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice, quiet stay on the lake!

Great time at Big Stone

The house was located in a very nice area, and stocked with everything a person could expect from a Vrbo. The house was also clean and comfortable. I could tell at one time this house would have been a very luxurious house, and it still has lots of nice finishes. It needs a little updating with the furniture and carpet. There were a few little things that just need repaired or updated, but overall, it is a very nice property and a great place for a large group to stay. There were a couple of roll out beds that were also available, which was a nice touch. The double ovens were fantastic since we were cooking for a large group. The view of the lake from the house and the wrap around deck were fantastic. Lots of bluegill, crappie, and perch can be caught in the lake and even right off the pier of this property. The owners of Schmidts Landing were very helpful and rent pontoon boats for an affordable price. Overall, I recommend the property and would stay there again.

Great Vacation

We had a great family vacation. The house had plenty of room for the grandchildren to run and play. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was great to have a washer and dryer. The living room furniture was in poor shape and the deck is in need of repair. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay. We do wish there was more beach area, it was very small and the boat ramp was very steep. We only used it once, then went to another boat ramp that was much easier to use.

4th if July Holiday

Great location and layout of house was awesome. Very private, large garage and driveway for vehicles. The most well equipped kitchen we have had of any rental—everything is there! Great house for our family getaway—9 adults and 3 young children. The only negatives are the need for maintenance and upkeep. Bad deck boards and nails popping in spots, fire pit needs to be replaced, outside windows need really good cleaning, etc. was difficult to get a hot shower for very long.
