We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cabin! Everything was thoughtfully set up and exceptionally well maintained. The cabin had all the comforts of home and included everything we could have possibly needed during our stay. From the cozy furnishings to the well-stocked amenities, it was clear that great care has gone into creating a welcoming experience for guests. The peaceful setting made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We would highly recommend this cabin and would love to return in the future!

We stayed in June and had a great time with the family. Been on this lake several times but first time staying here. Great place for a family to make memories. The home is cozy, clean and very relaxing. Everything you need is already here. Nice size yard and the dock worked well for our two fishing boats. Was able to launch the boats from the yard which was very handy. Would definitely recommend!

Howard Lake

We loved the cabin- it was so cozy and well equipped! The lake was very quiet and peaceful during our week there. The grandkids had a great time fishing off the dock and we enjoyed morning paddles in the paddleboat and kayaks. It was a wonderful family vacation spot!

What a sweet week at the lake!

From our 2 year old grand-daughter, to her parents and 72 year old grand-parents, we all enjoyed this cabin on sweet Howard lake. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the lake was gorgeous. The available yard games and water toys in the basement, were also a pleasant surprise! Thanks for all you do to provide an enjoyable vacation spot. We had a wonderful time.

50th Anniversary Celebration

We rented this property to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. It was a wonderful experience! The cabin was extremely clean and well stocked with games and kitchen supplies. The lake was beautiful and there was plenty to do for the kids. It was located 10 minutes from Walker and not far from shops, gas stations and restaurants. It was a wonderful week and highly recommended for a family getaway.

Amazing and Cozy

This place is perfect for a family. We have 4 kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. I really loved how well organized and thought out every thing was in this house. Very well planned! They have soooo many card games, board games and puzzles. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. Private boat launch was very nice and easy to get our boat in and out. We got to watch the loon family with its babies every day. So many things great about this place and something for everyone.

Howard Lake fun!

We had a wonderful stay at the lovely property on Howard Lake. Dan and Kallie were great hosts. The property was very clean and comfortable. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed. The loft is awesome, our grandkids loved it. We spent our days swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating and we ended our days sitting around the campfire. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Lynn

Serene Cabin

This cabin was amazing! It had plenty of room for each family member to have their own space. It was spacious, clean and beautiful. The homeowners really thought of everything! We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and taking the pedal boat out. The lake was pretty calm and we got to see a lot of wildlife. The property had everything you could think of, plus more. This property worked well for older members in our family (bedrooms, living space and bathrooms on main floor). We enjoyed shopping in Walker. We would stay in this cabin again for sure!

Wonderful autumn get away

My wife and I enjoyed the beautiful lake cabin in an scenic environment. The cabin was very clean and well maintained. Close by Walker, and Park Rapids, Minnesota where there were lots for unique Northern Minnesota shops. The Loons on the lake were a wonderful touch for the environment of Howard Lake. We also observed several bald eagles catching fish and finding a good perch across the bay to enjoy their catch. We also saw six white tail deer as we traveled around the lake trails. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kallie and Dan's cabin, and hope to return to the area in the years to come

Wonderful stay!

The cabin and all it has to offer is wonderful. The beach, dock accessibility, and swimming area are hard to beat. We have stayed at different VRBO’s the last 4 summers and my family stated this one was the favorite so far!! The only very minor inconvenience was finding out 3 days beforehand that we needed to supply all of our own paper products including toilet paper. That would have been nice to know a little sooner as it required an extra trip to town that I hadn’t planned on and we live 12 miles from the nearest one! Overall though, that was very minor compared to everything this cabin had to offer!! You won’t be disappointed!

GEM

We stayed with some of our extended family and adult children that came and went throughout the week (9 total coming and going). The property is very well kept, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, etc. The loft worked great for our teenager and his friend. When we made the reservation we were concerned that the lake wouldn’t be big enough to fish, boat, tube, etc. However, throughout the week we caught ourselves saying the lake exceeded our expectations! The fishing was great! Beautiful property and lake! Owners were very responsive and we would go back again any time!

A Wonderful Time at the Lake!

We already knew how great Howard Lake is as I’ve been coming there my whole life. Lots of nature and not too many people. The cabin was wonderful and met all our needs. We had three kids (ages 2, 4, 6) and there was a wide variety of toys they never got tired of. Stairs are steep for the 2 year old, so we blocked off the top with a chair when we were up in the loft. Cabin was very clean and had a wide variety of dishes for anything you might want to cook. Also used the gas grill a few times and roasted hotdogs and s’mores at the campfire. The lake bottom is sandy on the north side of the dock and the kids enjoyed playing in this area. Would definitely come back again.

A+ Property with Everything You Need

We had a great week at Kallie and Dan’s property again. The cabin was so clean and full of everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable. The fishing was a bit to be desired but still provided two hard earned fish fries! The paddle boat and kayaks and bags game were used several times. The addition of the deck table since our last time here was a great addition. Coffee on the deck every morning and snacks when we came off the water. oh and a great place to see some amazing color on the water too. Communication with the owners was superb at all times. We didn’t need them during the stay but know that if we had it would have been quickly responded to. Thank you Kallie and Dan for a great week at a great property!
