The cabin had a great set up, with plenty of room for everyone in our group. Easy access to the lake from the property for ice fishing. The rec room was a big hit and had many games to play. Hosts were wonderful and communication was seamless.

Beautiful Property, Wonderful stay

Char and Steve were more than accommodating for our stay and made sure every one of our needs were met even though we don’t have many needs or asks. Stay was quiet, beds were comfy, and everyone in our family group said they had a great time. Would recommend, and thanks again for the stay!

Fantastic place for larger families!

The porch, the huge table and the fire pit were absolutely perfect for making memories! We loved boating and fishing on the lake, the turtle races and our visit to Itasca was also highlights. Char and Steve really have created a true haven and we feel lucky to have had a chance to stay in their lake place.

Longville Family Vacation

The house was large enough for all 11 of us, and we really enjoyed the front porch. The pontoon boat was wonderful. We really liked Doolin's- it was fun for the entire family, and allowed family members to stay up when little ones were sleeping. Longville is close and has many things to do.

Lake life at its best

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steve & Char’s place. Plenty of room for our group of 11-house has EVERYTHING you could want and then some. Nice to sit all together at one table for meals and the enormous screened porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee. Access to the pontoon/kayaks/canoe was a real bonus. Owners were on top of everything and responded within minutes. Would go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend.

Week stay in Longville

Had a great week on Girl Lake! Everything was perfect for our large family with little ones as well. The only downside was there is no swimming at the shoreline, however for us - having the pontoon for use made up for that since we went out several times a day to cruise the lake and float and jump in. Home now and we all miss our time at the lake!

Large family vacation

This is a beautiful property with a wonderful screen porch overlooking a beautiful yard and the lake beyond. Lots of activities-yard games, pontooning, kayaking, paddle boating, hunting for frogs and the rec room was a fun place to be in the evening away from mosquitoes. Would have liked more counter space for preparing meals for 11, but we managed. It was nice being close to town when we ran out of something and the turtle races were very fun for the whole family!

Charming lake lodge in Longville

We have been doing family vacations for 10 people for several years now and this place has been the best, hands down. Steve and Charlotte are great communicators so nothing to worry about there. Their home really has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Be sure to review the listing completely and message them with questions, as you can certainly lighten your load when packing. We hope to be back next year!! Oh, and the Blackstone griddle, I am now a huge fan and looking to get one myself.

Cabin at Girl Lake

Char and Steve have a charming cabin and it is a great "gathering" place for larger families. We had an enjoyable vacation week. However, the owner was on the property 2 to 3 times a day with various reasons on why he was there. We got the impression we were being checked on. We have rented through VRBO for several years and this was the first time we have had this experience.

Ray and Marilyn, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are terribly sorry you feel we were checking up on you, absolutely not our intention. As you know, we needed to work on fixing the pontoon motor and could only do that by coming over to work on it and eventually picking it up and dropping it off. We are pleased you had a fun week with your family and celebrating Marilyn’s birthday!

Spacious and Comfortable! Great views!

Our family is a veteran "lake" family. We have been traveling up North for years. Our stay this summer at Char and Steve's lovely home was truly enjoyable. We made use of the screened in porch, the "play" room, and the fire ring. The large friendly kitchen was the scene of great meals and many discussions. The pontoon found it ways to the sand bars and several trips across the lake. So thanks Char and Steve!

Good vacation

All was good. Had a little plumbing issue, but was fixed immediately. Didn't get on the water as much as we liked due to the weather, but found things to do. 2 black bears crossed the road in front of of us as we drove from town. A little scary. All enjoyed the game house. A lot of space which was great for our family.

80th Bday Celebration

Everything was exactly as expected during our trip. There was room for everyone and plenty of things for all ages to do. We have a lot of people who fish in our family and the lakes did not disappoint!! “Doolins” was a highlight for both young and old. We went there every night to play and have a pizza. The property is beautiful. We enjoyed the fire pit nightly as well. The town of Longville has all you need between the grocery, pharmacy and bottle shop. 10 out of 10! Charlotte and Steve were very helpful and took care of all of our needs. We hope to return. Thank you💙

Girls trip

12 of us, 4 generations. Plenty of room for all. Did not utilize the neat bar as to far from house and to many steps for grandma. I know cleaning company does not do dishes, but pulled a lot of dirty ones out of cupboard. Started judt washing whatever we needed to use. Overall cleanliness good, but some dusty areas(fan blades) allergies kinda kicked in. Would definitely recomend this place to others. Great time! Thank you.

Great time on Girl Lake

The large space, especially in the dining area off the kitchen was terrific. The entire family could gather for meals and board games, and ultimately that is what are trips are about. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of cooking and dining equipment was very nice. The decor was fun. The Longville area is great. We like to hike and bike, and there are lots miles of well-maintained hiking and biking trails close by. The pontoon is a great addition. In our case it was rainy and cool most days so unfortunately we were unable to use it as much as we would have liked. The only issue of concern at the cabin was the shortage of hot water near the end of the trip for showers.

Ed, thank you for your review. We are very happy your family had an enjoyable time at our lake home! Fall can be a beautiful season, unfortunately you did have a few days rain days. Our off peak heating of our 100 gallon hot water tank can handle most large groups any time of day but when multiple long showers, laundry and dishwashing happens during daytime hours, it can rarely run out. Thank you for your understanding. Steve and Char

Family memories

10 in our group. I am 75 and appreciated the main floor bedroom with attached bathroom. Bed very high so I used a step stool to enable me to get on top of the bed. Those who slept in the bunk room wished there was some privacy for that room—no door or curtain. Beds comfortable. Loved the large screened in porch, pontoon, and separate game room which was used every evening. Lots of stairs going up to game room so can be a little difficult for elderly with knee problems.

Wonderful Experience

My husband and I have been taking our family to various VRBO lake homes, for a week, the past 14 years. Our family has grown over the years and this beautiful “Family Lodge” on the lake was wonderful! We felt like we had our own private park, Northern Minnesota lodge and recreation center, easy lake access with private dock for our boat and use of the owner’s pontoon which gave our family of 13 options for all. Even had 2 nights of Northern Lights, 1 rainbow and multiple daily enjoyment of watching the resident hummingbirds. We definitely would recommend this wonderful home and property for your Northern Minnesota experience. Thank you for sharing your lovely home Charlotte and Steve ! V.P.

Great spot for family gathering!

Beautiful home that was perfect for our mid-size family gathering. Plenty of space to spread out. The huge screened-in porch was our favorite. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware and spices and a closet full of cooking items (pressure cooker, crockpots, etc) that we made use of. We loved using their new Blackstone Grill on the porch. The game room above the garage was an awesome bonus space. When we arrived, there was only one functional pool cue and two functional darts, but a text to the owners rectified that within a day. The property is huge. We loved the fire pit, bocce set, and cornhole game. We also used their pontoon boat and kayaks plenty. Our only disappointment was it is not possible to swim off their docks due to shallow water and weeds. But we boated and kayaked to places with better swimming.
