Fred and Ruth, thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin in such a beautiful location. My wife and I were seeking a quiet, late season fall week-end getaway and we were both enchanted by your graciousness and hospitality. Thank you both for an absolutely perfect escape from the hustle and bustle.

Review Submitted: 08/06/11
We chose this cabin for 2 reasons - the location and we could take our 2 year old golden retriever Louie. The cabin was immaculate, and the location is something that can not be described. Over the course of the week we saw only 4 other boats on the lake! Waking up in the morning and Louie jumping right into the lake, grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting on the dock, and then sitting there watching the loons, otters, and eagles in the morning was the routine. There is an incredible golf course right around the corner, and Crosslake is a great place to walk around and check out for the day. But.......it was really hard to leave the cabin even for a few hours. It was total relaxation. Everyone had an incredible time - Thank you a thousand times over to Ruth and Fred (Fred - we hope your feeling better!) for opening your oasis to our family. This was an incredible week and we hope we will be able to return again!!
Owner response:Matt, Molly and Louie, We are pleased you enjoyed your vacation at our cabin. It's our pleasure to share this property with people who appreciate nature, quiet and relaxation. Thank you! Ruth & Fred

We have stayed in many cabin lake rentals and this is by far the #1 best cabin rental!!!! The old log charm makes it so cozy and warm. It's exactly what you see in the pictures and better! Everything was exceptionally clean and organized. Fred & Ruth could not have been more accommodating. Listening to the Loons and watching the beautiful sunsets is just breathtaking. Watching the turtle bury her eggs was definitely one of the highlights of the week. Thank you Fred & Ruth for sharing your beautiful cabin with us, we hope to be back again next summer!
Owner response:We are glad you enjoyed your stay in one of nature's finest settings. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to your return. Ruth & Fred

Wonderful Secluded Cabin On Peaceful Lake!
Guest: Mary F.
Date of Stay: 07/01/11
Review Submitted: 07/13/11
For our first time renting a cabin, I don't think we could of found a more perfect and beautiful place. The cabin was well prepared with everything we could possibly need. It was clean, comfortable and spacious. It really exceeded our expectations! Waking up in the sunroom above the boat house to see the glass on the lake and hear the loons and birds was awesome! The lake was perfect for pontooning, swimming and fishing. The pontoon rental with such a reasonable rate was an added bonus. Allowing dogs is what drew us to your cabin and within very little time, they both became lake dogs. We had 7 adults in the cabin and everyone had their own place to stay. What a blessing your property was for our family to meet. Thank you Ruth and Fred for your hospitality and for allowing us a wonderful week of vacation at you peaceful and secluded cabin on Kego Lake!
Owner response:We strive to satisfy our guests expectations, but the cabin and setting does most of it for us. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your work in leaving the cabin much like you found it. Hope to see you again. Ruth & Fred

1st Visit of 2011
Guest: Rick
(Red Wing, MN)
Date of Stay: 05/26/11
Review Submitted: 06/10/11
Our 1st 2011 visit was over Memorial Day weekend. Once again, the cabin and grounds were perfect. Total relaxation including some golf, fishing, dining and generally being kicked back. The lake was very clear and the fishing was good (catch & release). Our host could not have had the cabin better prepared and ready for our arrival. Always a great experience when we come here. Our next visit is in mid-June and can't wait to return.
Owner response:Return guests, there is no better reassurance that we must be doing something right. We do occassionally have oversights, so if you draw our attention to imperfections, we'll do our best to correct things in a timely manner. We appreciate the care and consideration taken while visiting our cabin retreat. Thank you again for keeping us in your vacation plans. We look forward to seeing you again very soon. Ruth & Fred

Cozy lakeside retreat
Guest: Seclusion seekers
(S. Mpls.)
Date of Stay: 05/20/11
Review Submitted: 05/24/11
Well cared for and superior hospitality, this cabin on Kego lake is a wonderful private getaway. Rustic looking and very comfortable. The listing for this rental is quite extensive and very accuarate. The view from inside and out is beautiful. The call of loons, watching fish and a family of swimming turtles are among other positive unlisted features. Despite there only being two of us it was easy to see how it could accomodate six comfortably. We would recommend this cabin and the caretakers for a positive lakeside getaway.

What a WONDERFUL place, and the hosts could not have been any nicer. Our only regret was that we had to leave. The cabin has everything you could want from laundry to seclusion from the outside world. I would rate this as one of the top vacation spots we have been to and we definitely want to come back, only next time it will be for a longer time. Thank you Ruth & Fred for opening up your "hideaway" for others to enjoy. Mike & Terry Fitch Kelly & Jane Naslund Nebraska

Awesome Summer Get Away

Our family stayed at this cabin the end of June of this year, it exceeded my expectations. Our 3 girls (ages 10,8,8) wanted to stay longer. The cabin was clean and had everything in it you could possibly want or need. There were several items we brought along but would not have needed. The two swingsets were a bonus for our girls. The lake was very clean. We got lots of sunnies right off the dock along with many perch and bass. We would not hesitate to go back and our daughters would love to return to the cabine It was so peaceful and relaxing. Fred and Ruth are extremely kind and helpful. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us, it was a great family vacation.
Owner response:We are pleased that you and your family enjoyed your vacation. We can't control the weather, but we can and do keep the cabin clean and stocked. Thank you.

Ultimate Vacation

Review Submitted: 07/31/10
Peaceful and serene is an understatement when describing this beautiful vacation spot. There's nothing better than waking up to the sound of the loons and relaxing by the fire watching the sun set. I thank my son for finding this wonderful place. Ruth and Fred are definitely the hostess with the mostess, they are so accomodating and very eager to make your stay memorable. We especially enjoyed hearing about the history of this cabin it makes you appreciate it even more. The cabin was exactly as the pictures project, very clean and spacious with everything you need. The lake is awsome, not too big and not too small and great for fishing. Our boys loved canoeing to the little island and venturing out to explore. There is so many wonderful things I could say about this place but you need to experience it for yourself to get the full affect. I am so excited to come back next year. Thank you Ruth and Fred for making our stay AWSOME!!!
Owner response:Robin, We are glad you, Bill and family had a nice time while staying at our cabin. We wish to acknowledge and thank you for taking the time to clean and leave the cabin as you found it. We look forward to your next visit. Ruth & Fred

Fantastic getaway

Review Submitted: 07/10/10
The cabin blew us away with its charm. It was super clean and comfortable -- it even has a washer and dryer! It is very secluded, as we couldn't see any other nearby residences, making it easy to let our wet dogs remain off leash as they followed us from dock to cabin and back. The lake was the perfect temperature and seemed full of fish judging by all the catches we witnessed during our stay, and heading out on the provided pontoon boat was an added benefit.
Owner response:Glad you and your dogs enjoyed your stay. We try to stay scarce and let you enjoy yourselves and the sounds of nature. One of us is usually down the shore if you need us, and we welcome you to stop by. We look forward to your next visit. Ruth & Fred
