Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Amenities like pontoon boat, kayaks, and hot tub were nice. Beautiful lake views, nice deck by the lake. Plenty of essentials; coffee, towels, paper items. Newer TVs. I think the host thought of everything a renter could need. Convenient location for grocery shopping, access to Nisswa shops and restaurants. Lots of parking on site. One or two beds could be upgraded. Refrigerator/freezer could be upgraded. The property is right on Hwy 371, so the traffic detracted somewhat from the peace and quiet, but less noticeable down by the lake.
