The lake house was a great place to stay! We had a group of six, and while I initially questioned the number of beds listed, everything worked out perfectly for our group. We tried our hand at fishing but didn’t have much luck—partly because we didn’t have live bait and it was pretty rainy.Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely rent again! Azy was such a sweet person and was wonderful and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Our family of five had more than enough room to be comfortable. Great location! We were able to get to Mall of America, Walker Art Museum, cute restaurants, book stores, and even a ghost tour with not too long of a drive.

We loved the home on the lake! The kids enjoyed the paddle boards and paddle boat, as well as having a cookout and making s’mores. Movie nights with popcorn and sleeping in were a nice treat! There was even live outdoor music at one of the other houses and we enjoyed listening while on the lake. Much needed relaxation time and we would stay again!

Was supposed to be lakeside. Well, you have only a very obstructed view of the lake. The Lake is a mud hole. The house is like 1990's and never renovated. The furniture was like from Goodwill. The deck was dirty and unkept and the BBQ grill was Nasty.We fell for some very fancy photos that did not represent today's condition.

I am sorry that my house was not what you expected. You must have not read the discription. It says you will feel being in a cabin. The lake is not a mud hole, it is Coblestone lake on the map. The viw of the lake is great from every bedroom. The house is build in 1954. Some furnitures are older but mist of them are bought brand new from Amazon like all the beds and mattresses. For the use of grill, you needed to ask me. There is a fee that I charge for the propane and cleaning of the grill. It states in the discription. You did not read and used the grill without paying. I hope for the next trip, you look for a luxury setting that a cabin like , affordable airbnb in the heart of minneapolis. Also the pictures are taken with my phone, so they are the true presentation of what you are getting.

Overall we had a great experience at the property. The space was ample, the deck and backyard area was perfect, and we loved the location in proximity to the cities. There were some small cleanliness issues - some of the pillows smelled like a body odor, there were a ton of spiders and spiderwebs outdoors and in the garage (can’t be helped), and the back lawn wasn’t mowed so we ended up doing it ourselves. There was also not wifi available that was advertised on the listing. Overall it was a good deal for the gathering we put together, but there was some clean up to be done initially. We also don’t know if the water is swimmable, it seemed eutrophic to some degree

The host made a mistake about our check-in date so the check-in information was incorrect and a bedroom and kitchen sink were not clean and ready. When I contacted them, they were very apologetic and offered to come and clean. They were very responsive. Other than that hiccup, the place was perfect for our trip and we had a wonderful time. The little lake was fun, the downstair space was great, and it was close to all our activities. Our family would go again.

Loved this location for family to stay while they were in town. Listing could have been more accurate about number of beds available for all of our guests. We made it work, kids had fun fishing in the lake in back, host was very communicative and made sure we had what we needed!
