Other things to note
Very close proximately to most everything. Two-minute walk to our beach to enjoy the beautiful Lake Minnewaska waters. Park your boat right up on the beach.

Super cute and clean house, with short walk to really nice private beach area, or the public beach is just a little further walk down the road. We enjoyed the quiet private area on the deck, grilling and lounging. Thanks for a great stay!

Met all our Expectations

This property is exactly what it says it is, beautiful clean house with a nice yard, fire pits, and its own beach access only a 2 minute walk away. Working with Todd was so easy! They worked with us on our arrival time to accommodate our long travel and were very prompt with getting back to me. There was always plenty of hot water and the air conditioning did great keeping up even in the very hot weather. There’s even a water spigot by the front door which was perfect for filling up our dog’s water dish and rinsing feet off after coming back from the lake. The living room was even bigger in person and was a comfortable place to unwind in the evenings. They are serious about how steep the driveway is but our Ford Explorer had no trouble, slow and steady. Would 100% stay again!

Sisters and cousins retreat

Stay was wonderful. Size and layout was perfect for our group. We whined about climbing up the hill, but got easier each time. Fire down by the lake was great as we made s'mores and had some laughs. Walked to downtown and found some fun buys. Great time!

Great property and owner

We enjoyed our stay very much. This property offered many amenities including kitchen basics, towels, grill, wifi and fish cleaning table. Owners were kind and communicated quickly. It's such a nice area of Minnesota with many lakes and near by communities with restaurants and shops. Thank you for being great hosts. Regina & Adam

Memorial Day weekend

I cannot express how much we enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was immaculately clean and the items that were provided, which were a lot, were top notch. It was located close to the water and the public dock. We were able to easily walk to the dock and fish. The center of town was just down the road so it made getting groceries and shopping easy. Other cities and adventures were just a short drive away. I felt comfortable that the local hospital was right there in case something happened. Todd was very responsive and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Even though we did not end up renting a boat he was able to give us the information for boat rentals. You will not be disappointed staying at this property as it is at the center of everything. One thing to note, and it has nothing to do with the property, is the hours of operation for the local restaurants and when they serve dinner. You will want to investigate this when you get there if you are planning on eating out. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
