You, your family and/or friends will create some of those memories you will cherish for years to come. Don’t forget your camera. No guns, please.

This was our fourth trip staying at this house. We always have a fantastic stay. Great house with beautiful sunsets every night. Good fishing, clean water. Most importantly, the hosts are always responsive and make sure everything is perfect for our visit. We truly feel at home here and can’t wait to come back again!

We had very relaxing week. The cabin is very well stocked with everything you need. It is very clean. The lake is clear, and it has a really nice beach area by the dock. Sunsets are right over the lake, and they are beautiful. The owners of the cabin, Karen and Doug are very welcoming.

All the positive remarks from previous reviews are true, including Karen & Doug's attentiveness to guests, great communication about weather fronts in the area, etc. It is so spacious, including two full bathrooms. Loved the decks! The waterfront with a truly sandy beach was a highlight for our three grandchildren, ages 10-14. We liked it so much we reserved the same week next year.

Thank you Tom. We are so glad you enjoyed our lake home. It was great that your grandkids had a good time making memories with Grandpa and Grandma. Look forward to seeing you again next year
The cabin was very nice with everything we needed. We enjoyed the sandy lake bottom for swimming and boating on the quiet lake. There was lots of wild life around the property and we had fun watching a pair of loons playing on the lake.

Penny, thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay.
This was an amazing property for our family! With great outdoor spaces, plus comfortable family rooms for those rainy days, the four adults in our group had plenty of space to relax and connect. The owners answered every question we had and ensured we had a great stay. It’s clear why so many families (including ours) return year after year!

Nice place. The oven went out our second day there which messed up some of the meals planned but we made the best of that as we could.

This was our second time at this property and we love it. Nothing fancy, but if you're looking for a "cottage" on a lake, this is the place. Bring your boat, or rent one locally for the week. Fishing is good and the water clean and spring fed.

Four senior citizen women enjoyed the week at this cabin.
The cabin was exceptionally clean and well stocked. The beach, lake, and dock was perfect. Weed free swimming, clear water, and the beachfront was super easy to access. We had great conversations with the owner and they were very helpful. Very quiet and restful!

This was our third time staying at this lovely lakefront home. The waters are ultra-clean and full of fish. Swimming, boating and fishing. This place has it all. It is very peaceful and relaxing. Karen and Doug are fantastic hosts and check in occasionally to be sure our stay is complete.

This was our second year at the cabin with our boys, 12&14. We had a wonderful time on the lake tubing, spending time on the sandbar, swimming, and fishing. The house is wonderful and has everything you need for a home away from home! Thanks again Karen & Doug.

Cozy cabin, perfect beach!
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Four of us stayed here - four adults and one toddler and the size was just right. The shallow, clear,sandy beach is perfect and a standout feature for us. We also loved the big beautiful deck, bonfire area, and lawn. The kitchen and home are well stocked with everything we needed (i.e. Cooking utensils, etc). The cabin overall is well taken care of and clean, and the owners are super thoughtful, professional, and considerate. We would stay here again!

Round Lake
Dean and I had a wonderful week at Round Lake! The cabin far exceeded our expectations. Karen and Doug were great and gave us great tips for fishing, dining, and shopping for food. We loved the loons and the serenity of the lake. Canoeing around the shore of the lake with the cabin's provided canoe on Sunday morning was a highlight! We would definitely come back!

Penny & Dean: Thank you. We enjoyed meeting you and look forward to seeing you again next summer. We are glad you had a great time and everything met your expectations.
About the host
Hosted by Karen McCormick
We enjoy our lake home very much! We have another Lake Home and decided to rent this one - as we have decided to keep both in the family.
Why they chose this property
Location was great - not too far of a drive from the Twin Cities with great roads. Close to Mille Lacs Lake for some great fishing - close to Brainerd for great entertainment. The best thing is Round Lake is a great lake, just the right size, not too busy with a lot of other boaters, it has a sandy beach with very clear clean water, and great swimming for the entire family. We are located in a great bay with very few other property owners.
What makes this property unique
The tranquility of the lake and sunsets are just amazing. It is hard to explain until you have experienced it. The sandy beach, quiet lake, swimming, and just soaking up the sun on the dock or relaxing by the fire in the fire pit are so enjoyable. The large lot makes it nice to enjoy other lawn activities while still enjoying the water. Also, watching the resident eagles soar and osprey dive for fish add to the total enjoyment of the lake experience.
