Holiday Family Gathering
This was an ideal location for our family to gather from out-of-state. The home was comfortable and nicely decorated for the Christmas holiday. The kitchen had all the things we needed to easily prepare meals for our group. The bedrooms were comfortable and having three full bathrooms was ideal.

Comfortable and Cozy
I only have positive things to say! The views of the lake are just fantastic. I could've sat on the front deck all day looking at the lake. I loved all of the outdoor sitting spaces.
We enjoyed the fire pit one evening and the outdoor gas fire table on the other evening.
All of the beds were very comfortable, even the bunk beds. Luxurious bathroom towels. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed.
I would not hesitate to book another stay at this home! Welcoming and cozy...who could ask for more than that?

Cozy Christmas getaway!
We had the most perfect family Christmas together at this gorgeous cozy cabin! The location was perfect as it was so close to the Twin Cities yet you still felt like you were away! This gorgeous log home exceeded our expectations in every possible way! All of the amenities you would want. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree next to the cozy fireplace made for the perfect setting to make Christmas memories together as a family! We cooked, baked, played games, laughed and even Santa found us!!! It was perfect in every way! The beds were BEYOND comfortable which was an added plus! The hosts were very quick to respond to us via text. We would not have changed a thing! We would stay here again in a heart beat! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!
