LOTS OF ROOM ON A GREAT MINNESOTA LAKE

We had a great time with our extended family. The only drawback is that there is not a gradual slope into the lake. There are many steps down to the water. It's a great location, quiet neighborhood, and a paved road for taking a scenic walk or bike ride.

We enjoyed every minute. There were 17 of us. Enough room for everyone. . Brad Meints and his wife have thought of everything. Very clean well equipped cabins. Water toys, tubes, paddle boat, canoe, kayaks, life jackets, beautiful campfire spot, everything for an enjoyable stay. No one wanted to leave.

The only thing we would have changed is, more screens on the doors. We would have had the doors open in the evenings for the great breezes off the lake.

All around this is a wonderful location, clean spacious, well equipped cabins and a beautiful lake.

The property was exactly as advertised and ready for our arrival. There were 15 of us (8 adults, 7 kids ages 6-14) and there was plenty of room for everyone. We could all be together in the main living area, but could still easily find a quiet spot.

The water was clear and the swimming area between the docks was a huge hit. The loons were abundant and could be heard every morning and evening. With all the sliders, the views are great but it would get very warm inside throughout the day. A few curtains to help block the midday sun while we were out on the lake could be beneficial.

Kids were able to catch sunfish off the dock, took out the paddle boat every morning and kayaked around most days. We brought two boats (fish/ski and 22' pontoon) and were able to use the second dock without any issues. The public ramp is as far away from the cabin as possible, but that was hardly cause for concern. We enjoyed a campfire most nights but if you have not been to northern Minnesota in the summer before be sure to bring plenty of bug spray.

Overall the property was a great place for our family getaway and we are planning to come back again next summer.

The view of lake, swimming, yard & fire pit were all as expected with plenty of room for the 6 grandchildren ages 5-12 to play & swim. The down side, the guest house has 5 sliding doors with no screens and no other windows. There are no window coverings on the lower level of the main house if you want to sleep downstairs. The main house has 14 sliding doors and only one screen. There are a few windows but only 1/4 of them have screens so you can't open them up, so the air is on all the time. We think of a lake home having open windows at night to take in the fresh air. The open stairway inside to the lower level has no hand railings. We were not told that one refrigerator was not working, there was a "out of order" sign on it, but we did receive a rebate for that. There is no trash pickup & no microwave, we just assumed there would be. I was extremely disappointed. Our five adult children said "it is what it is, try to make the best of it". I was hoping for a place to go year after year but this is not it for us.

We had a four day family get together, 9 adults, 6 kids, and a dog, ages 7-69, and everyone had a wonderful time. There was rain our first night, but with how spacious the layout is, you never felt crowded. The lake is beautiful, with bays that make it feel even more private. Several of us kayaked for the first time, and loved it! Plenty of life jackets, games, chairs, dishes... we had more than we needed. We've been trying to find that perfect spot for fishing, recreational boating, relaxing, and entertaining for the last 5 years and we all gave a unanimous yes to make Brad and Kristine's cabin our family destination. They were also very quick to respond to any questions we had. Rain or shine, you will have a great vacation here.
