Photos are accurate. Very nicely decorated and many thoughtful details; a basket of snacks, a pitcher of filtered water in the fridge, q-tips in the bathroom, several beach towels available, charging cables available, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the showers, and a well stocked kitchen.Nice location for ease of access. And so much more enjoyable than a hotel room. A great place - highly recommend.

Great getaway

We stayed here with a group of friends and had a wonderful time. The area is beautiful. The home is warm and cozy. Both bedrooms were inviting and the bonus room is great to have. The decorating was top notch and the extra amenities are amazing. Truly worth the stay and price.

Great place to stay with all the amenities you need

A group of friends stayed weekend to go the ice fishing extravaganza. Was very close to the event and plenty of room. The house had all the amenities you will need. Very nicely decorated and very clean. Great rate as well.

So placid

Our stay could not have been better. The home is beautiful, well laid out, sun-filled and was immaculate. The lake looked like a mirror almost the whole time - so peaceful to lounge on the deck and watch the ducks and loons through the trees. We would definitely return!

A beautifully decorated and charming lake home

Great location, quiet lake , picturesque views! Beautifully decorated home, the labeling on the kitchen cabinets was an excellent touch. The views from the living room, dining room and the deck was great. We spent quite a few peaceful moments on the bench on the dock. Donna our host was exceptional, very caring, very accommodating! We would stay here again with no hesitation.

Kitchen appliances and supplies were excellent. Beautiful view of the lake from the house and patio. We made lots of use of the kayaks and paddleboat to explore the lake and fish. Kids caught many panfish on the dock and the Dad caught an 18-inch bass a bit further out. The gas fire unit on the patio was great for s'mores. Nearby Nisswa has restaurants and a variety of stores. Note: The hill down to the beach could be a bit steep for those with limited mobility.

Pleasant and well-appointed house

Golf and fishing weekend for four brothers. Ideal location allowed for maximum of each (although fishing off the dock was not very feasible). House was spotless and very "lakey". Supplies were impressive. Deck and grill were welcome. Would definitely recommend.

This "Cozy Home" is Truly Cozy

As can be seen by our overall rating of "5"...my family and I really enjoyed our stay of 6 nights. The bedrooms and bath rooms were especially well provisioned. I want to make a special emphasis on the kitchen/dining room. We were able to spread out and visit with each other - without having our belongings get in the way. And it was a treat to have all new appliances! We would definitely recommend! Rich

Loved Our Stay!

My husband and I came to stay for a long weekend of doing nothing! Neither of us brought our computers, so we couldn't work. LOL. We spent the majority of our long weekend, sitting on the deck or the dock, looking at the lake and talking. It was so, so, so nice to just hang out and enjoy the beautiful vistas and weather. It was a PERFECT weekend. -- someday, I would like to come back with our two grown daughters and their families and enjoy family time. Couple time was amazing.

Deceptive lake photos

Yes and no. Accommodations were acceptable. A bit crowded for our group however. The main issue causing dissatisfaction was the condition of the grounds and the steep incline to the lake. First, the yard was very unkempt. 5 to 6 foot weeds and thistles everywhere on the lake side of the property. We arrived on Saturday, lawn maintenance was there on Wednesday and started working on the street side of the house but were unable to do much on the lake side due to numerous bee hives and the workers getting stung multiple times. The photo of the lake is very deceptive. There was a very long and steep incline down to the lake and back up to the house. No steps, railings etc, which was very disappointing as spending time near the water is what we were most looking forward to. The distance and incline made it quite difficult for my husband, who has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. The purpose of this getaway was to spend quality time as a family at/on a lake, which ended up being only 2 evenings with a campfire. I might also mention that the lakeshore was not fit for swimming for our entire stay due to the abundance of goose droppings and green slime. Even the play sand area was not useable due to goose droppings,Any swimming required a drive to another lake/beach which was a huge disappointment and inconvenience. To summarize, I was less than impressed, and have no plans to return. All said, the negative outweighed the positive.
