This property worked great for our family of 4 adults and a baby. The cabin was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed for a 3 night stay! The beds were very comfortable. We loved the views of the lake, the kayaks, fishing from the dock and the proximity to downtown Nisswa. The detailed cabin manual contained all the information we needed so we didn’t need much communication with our host. Our host provided great information and quickly responded to questions after we booked, We would highly recommend this property!

We were in town for a family reunion and loved this cabin for a home base! The cabin is fully stocked with towels, cleaning supplies, games, and lake “toys”. And as a family that sleeps best cool, we appreciated the very efficient AC for an excellent night’s sleep!
