To start off, one of the main reasons for the 5 Star review is due to owner Tim Buerman and his incredibly quick, helpful and accommodating responses to all of our inquiries and questions. Especially with the global covid-19 pandemic still going on, he was very open to providing a refund if we did not feel comfortable staying there.
This was a vacation / surprise Birthday party for my wife and included her children and their families, so 10 of us in all.
The cabin & guest cabin worked out perfect for the 2 families with smaller children and also for the downtime needed for their naps, our granddaughter has Cystic Fibrosis and the guest cabin was perfect for her to do the twice a day vest treatments. The A/C in both cabins was very comfortable, as were the beds. The code door locking and unlocking worked well, and was convenient for not having to carry a key or work a lockbox.
There was plenty of room for the morning and evening cooking duties, we were close enough to Nisswa and had pizza & wings delivered from Rafferty's Pizza and that worked out excellent!!
The deck was also a very nice feature for our group of 10 and we all had plenty of chairs, tables and umbrellas for the sun.
The views to the lake were amazing and access down to the lake and dock was easy for us and the 2 benches were nice to sit on while the kids were in the lake.
The fire pit worked out excellent for our evening fires and there are PLENTY of chairs to use for the fire pit or to carry to the lake for additional seating. The swimming raft, kayak and paddle boat were huge hits with kids and adults.
We rented a pontoon from Nisswa (Dave's Sportland) and towed it to a nearby public access on Roy Lake and had an amazing time on a few of the lakes in the Gull Lake chain.
Overall this was a wonderful place for a lakeside vacation and with children.
THANKS Tim & Destiny!!!!
