Perfect family getaway

This was the most perfect house for our family to stand to celebrate Christmas. Many adults and many children and we never felt the space was too Small. A beautiful overlook of the quiet lake and a private location. This is the perfect location if you have a big group! And the house is incredibly beautiful!

Great place to stay

Very private and quiet. All 12 adults and 3 little ones had a place to sleep and found plenty to do in sunshine and rain. One young couple stayed in the cabin, saying it was comfortable. All amenities were a nice addition and very useful. We highly recommend this rental. The owner and caretaker are very nice and easy to work with.

“Up-North” at its Finest

Our stay was simply the BEST! Location, location, location. The convenience of the “beach” and the water was the main attraction. A true “up-north” get-a-way. Great space, king beds everywhere, yet very cozy for our group … it’s our new favorite. We had a blast!!

Minnesota family getaway

Great property for a family to enjoy! Ample sleeping/bedroom spaces, 8 bedrooms and optional pullout in office made for privacy at night and wonderful kitchen/dining room that can seat 18 for togetherness at meal time. Quiet and scenic lake with sand bottom beach and large pontoon for cruising the water! Highly recommended!

Wonderful stay

We returned for a second year. Our contact with owner and caretaker, Dan and Dave, was very satisfactory. We appreciated the new fire pit and the pavers that were installed during off season. Family found place to be roomy for 19 of us to play games, dance, swim, take hikes, and just hang out and enjoy being together.

This was a great place for our extended family of 19 to stay. Beds enough for all, space for people to be together for arts and crafts, conversations, quiet reading, game playing without interfering with one another, beautiful clean lake, pantry to store all the food we brought, responsive caretaker, two refrigerators that we filled were some of the things we appreciated. Looking forward to returning.

Family Celebrations

The property was fantastic: checkin, space, beds, amenities, beach, seating, fishing, swimming and everything inbetween. This is a property where it is obvious the owners are proud to offer what they have been blessed with for the enjoyment of others. They have accomplished their goal. Great Job. God Bless.

Beautiful view quiet family fun

Perfect amount of space for our family. Plenty of bedrooms and comfortable beds! Lake is quiet and relaxing area. Clean! The only disappointment was that it said satellite/cable TV and there wasn’t that service. The frig in the garage wasn’t working well. We did enjoy the campfire experience as well as the lake. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!

Perfect spot for a family gathering

We just completed our second annual stay on East Silent Lake for our family of 14, raging in age from four to seventy-one, and there is truly something for everyone at this lovely property: fishing, tubing, pontooning, kayaking, board games, movies and just sitting back to relax on the deck! Sleeping accommodations on 3 floors with comfortable king-sized beds allows plenty of room to spread out and enjoy some privacy. The large kitchen, pantry and dining area make gathering for mealtime easy and enjoyable. The property owners are very responsive to questions and provide easy to follow guidance for enjoying the property. Our family loves this place and we hope to return again next year!

Wonderful Cabin Experience

This property was amazing! Plenty of space for indoor and outdoor fun with a group of 12 adults. Distanced from the neighbors for a very private feel, but close to the towns. The home was very well stocked and included yard games, fun rafts, canoes and plenty of kitchen items. Also - extremely high quality beds, linens and pillows! Not a normal thing I note, but we all raved about our restful slumbers! You definitely can pack light for this location, they have it all. Good boating on a quiet lake, as well. Dan and Iryna are very responsive. Great Place!

Gathering place for our Mom's funeral

Our mother passed away and 4 of the five siblings were from out of town. During this time of covet, we were not able to have a gathering at the church after her funeral. This house was EXACTLY what we needed. There were plenty of rooms for everyone who needed one and the house had lots of room. The kitchen was amazing and we were able to make all of our meals. I have stayed at a number of VRBO's and this was by far the best equiped place I have ever stayed at.

Tom, You and your siblings are great people that came for a sad, but very important reason: for your mother's funeral. We're glad our lake home made for a warm and comfortable place for your family to share some time together and sharing memories of your passed on mother. We are glad to hear that you are already discussing coming back in the summer months to enjoy our lovely home under much lighter circumstances. You are most certainly welcome back. Thank you.

Great home, lots of room for a large family. Quiet and comfortable. Grounds were nice and the steps down to the lake were very sturdy and easily accessible. Lots of action on the lake and we decided not launch our boat but caught fish off the dock! Fun, relaxing and we were not ready to head home at the the end of our stay!! Appreciated the host keeping in touch as well. Thanks for sharing your home!
