Perfect gathering spot
We stayed here with friends from Minneapolis who we've known for the last decade but have since moved out of state. It was the perfect place to reunite with our kids and enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake and cabin area. I was so relieved it wasn't a busy lake and the kids loved swimming off the dock! Would definitely return!

Great place for a family to stay!
We really enjoyed the cabin! Our family went for Thanksgiving and had a great time watching Christmas movies, playing games and being by the lake. I’m sure it would be very beautiful to stay in the summer!
The cabin is well equipped with dishes, silverware, wonderful bedding and cozy blankets! The master bedroom also has a rocking chair and two toddler beds, which is perfect for a family! We were very impressed with all the room for people to sleep and the living room fire place was wonderful! It also has a basement with a big tv and a washer and dryer, which is a huge plus for a big family! Definitely recommend this place, we would stay again!!

Disappointment in management support
The cabin itself was nice, as described, and suited our needs well. Our disappointment was in the cleanliness of the kitchen area, no back up propane for the grill (which ran our of gas shortily after starting our meal), and most significantly the lack of response/support of the property manager.

We enjoyed our long weekend stay. The home is spacious and has everything in the kitchen you might need. The wifi is slow, however. Not a deal breaker though. Hope to return again.
