Our winter paradise! Sledding, xc skiing, snow forts and ice skating were all right outside the front door. The perfect break from the city, a chance to embrace winter and each other ;) Our children loved the games and books at the cabin and the novelty of it all allowed my husband and I enjoy a glass of wine together!

A Little Bit of Heaven in Minnesota Lake Country

We had a marvelous time at this property for 11 days in June. The cabin is charming and rustic while at the same time fully equipped with heat and air conditioning, dishwasher, washer and dryer and wireless internet. The beach is ideal for kids -- sandy and gradual slope -- our grandkids particularly enjoyed hangin out on and jumping off of the Relaxation Station floatation device. They caught sunfish right off the dock and we were sereh=anded by loons every evening. The sleeping arrangements were ideal for 4 adults and the three kids got a big kick out of the sleeping loft (two twins and a double tucked under the eaves of the cabin). We enjoyed a big fire in the pit on the beach every night. The cabin was very clean, the linens and towels are nice and the kitchen was fully equipped. Curt was very responsive and returned my many emails promptly when I had questions about the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we're already planning our return next year. I bet it's glorious in the fall! Thanks for a great memory for us and our grandchildren. We highly recopmmend this property. Bob and Betsy from Charlotte

My wife and I spent her 40th birthday at this cabin. She fell in love with all the nooks and crannies and commented many times, "These people take great care of this place." We had everything we needed and really enjoyed the break from TV. We didn't get to swim but the beach is perfect and the location to Crosslake is excellent. Thanks Curt for your great hospitality!

We loved the screened in porch! What a well designed cabin. Excellent rooms and kitchen. Perfect time of relaxing. The beach front is wonderfully maintained, with wonderfull little towns and parks all around the area. Thanks for the great week!

We had a great time, the cabin was very clean and we really enjoyed the beach. The large sand area with the shallow grade into the water was perfect for the family. We laughed so much when the adult children crawled into the loft area to sleep! The kids had such a fun time in the toy area in the basement with the trains and cars. We also enjoyed the porch area, playing games and looking out at the lake through all the windows. We hope we can come back again some time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with our family! The Braun/Oachs family

Curt, We had a great time at your beautiful Lake Home. Bottom line is the way you describe it on line is exactly what we found upon arrival. Thank you for your accurated description. The beach is wonderful and was enjoyed by our 2 year old Grandson. The highlight is the screened porch. You were a pleasure to deal with and we have already booked for 2010. Thanks again.

We had a wonderful time staying here. There was an eagle haning out in front of the cabin all week. Our 8 year old had a great time fishing, and there were plenty of games inside the cabin to keep curuious minds busy. At first we discovered no television, but you really dont need it, we spent many days exploring the surrounding towns when we were not relaxing at the cabin. The fishing was excellent, cabin immaculate and clean. A very quiet and comfortable stay. Thank you

Our extended family spent five wonderful days at Ha-ha-lun-ji in June, 2008. Curt happened to be there cleaning the grounds and he made us feel comfortable and at ease in sharing his beautiful lake cabin. We strongly recommend any group or family to enjoy this lovely retreat. The Healy Family

Our family of 4 plus grandma had a wonderful time up in this great cabin. It's perfect for kids because the beach is sandy and flat, and doesn't drop off into deep water. We could relax without worrying that our kids would disappear under the waves! The wireless internet rocked (I'm a web geek), and the porch has 3 glorious sides of windows. The cabin is authentic...definitely not a fake wood thing.

We had an awesome time! Horshoe is a great lake for swimming, water skiing, tubing, and jet skiing. We loved the cabin. It's in great shape and was very clean when we got there. It's in a prime location on the lake and close to Cross Lake, Breezy, Nisswa, and Brainerd. We fit 2 adults and 8 teenagers in the cabin comfortably. We hope to be back in the future. Thanks for making your cabin available. Matt and Nancy Butters

Curt, thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin with us. Our young boys loved playing on the huge beach, floating around in the water on the raft, exploring the lake and watching the fish from the pier. We enjoyed fires in the firepit almost every night, and loved reading and enjoying the sounds and breeze from the lake in the enclosed porch after the kids went to bed. In the afternoons we had a great time exploring the many shops and restaurants nearby. The cabin was very clean, spacious and well cared for. We felt right at home! We hope to come back again some day!!

The place was wonderful! It had the charm of a rustic cabin with all of the modern conveniences & very clean, too! The lake had a beautiful beach & tons of fish. However, the boat launch was a bit shallow. We will be back!

Hi Curt, Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin on Horseshoe Lake! Your cabin had everything we could possibly need. It was perfect for our family and friends. The kids spent ALL day at the dock catching fish when we were not out biking or exploring Nisswa and Pequot Lakes. You know what they did? We found these cute fish nets in Nisswa and they layed down on the dock and scooped up the fish. And after they caught ten fish, they would release them back into the water (they were in a bucket). They did this ALL day! It was great. We also rented a jet ski on Monday from Boats and Beyond. That was fun! So, again, thank you for renting your cabin to us! We would love to do it again! Sincerely, Jodee
