Smukke Country Log Home på Circle Lake!

Jerry, thank you for those kind words! And we're so glad your family enjoyed all the activities provided. We try to add new amenities regularly! And we're thrilled to announce that we juat purchased a brand new golf cart! We've been wanting one for a few years. It will be so helpful for guests to be able to hop in the golf cart, and bring themselves and their luggage right up to the door! If it's raining or the grass is wet, no problem! We told your family we were going to do it, and we did it! One of the favorite pastimes of so many guests is just sitting on one of the swings and watching the lake. We've had several hundred Pelicans entertain us all summer long. And enjoying the amazing sunsets is absolutely incredible. So thanks again for staying with us, and please come again very soon!

Thanks for your review! And yes, we do have lots of water toys. So many, that kids are confused which one they want to play with first. Haha! This year we will be adding a fire pit table that you can sit around on stools. I saw it at Costco, and couldn't pass it up! People will hang out there for hours. We try to add one or two really cool amenities every year. And since this is our seventh year, we've added lots of cool amenities through the years including the Pickleball Court, Sport Court, Basketball Court. It cost us a ton, but families absolutely love it. They even invent all kinds of games, and Olympics, for the whole family, to play on the court. Please come back and visit us very soon!

Sophia, thanks so much for staying with us! We hope your family had the "Funnest-Fun", and a vacation that they'll remember the rest of their lives! We work hard to continually add to our amenities every year, so people have a ton of stuff to do when they're at the Circle Lake Home! The Pickleball/Sport court has been the biggest hit of the summer! Family spend hours enjoying multiple Sports, the grandparents watching from our brand new comfortable benches! We absolutely love making this home available to amazing families, just like yours! Please come back and visit us real soon! Steve & Julie Peters Owners

Thank you!

Thanks a ton for staying with us! We are so glad you enjoyed your time at the Circle Lake log home out in the country! It is so fun to make this amazing property available to wonderful families! And thank you too for recommending that others stay here. It means a lot to us. And thanks for leaving the place in so nice and clean! Our cleaner was so appreciative! Safe travels! Steve & Julie Peters Hosts

Brian, glad to hear you enjoyed everything our home has to offer! Next year we will be adding a pickleball court as well! We hope you can come back and enjoy that additional feature!

Jessica, you noticed! You mentioned that we have more amenities than any other VRBO you've ever stayed at. Thank you for noticing! We just went down to Kentucky and stayed at a VRBO with friends, and could not believe how few things were stocked in that home. It made it difficult to stay there. We never want one of our guests to experience anything like that whatsoever. And the beds there were absolutely horrible. Our friends hardly slept. We have spent thousands and thousands of dollars to make sure we have the best beds possible, and many of our guests have noticed. As far as water toys, we now offer two water bikes, (which have been an amazing hit with our guests), two kayaks, a canoe, and two paddle boards, along with a huge lily pad. Some families take them all out at once, and it looks like a huge armada invading the lake! Lol. It's so fun. We are so glad you loved our log home on Circle Lake! Please come back and visit us real soon. Safe travels! Steve Julie Peters, Owners

Mark, You and your family are some great people! You are welcome to come back and visit us again any time! Enjoy the rest of your summer. Safe travels.😎

Phyllis, thanks a ton for staying with us! We are so glad you were able to use so many of the amenities that we have available to guests. We expand the amenities every year, so guests have a ton of things to do when they're here! We want our guests to have "The Funnest Fun!" Lol! Minnesota is the place to be in the summertime! The weather in the summer is almost perfect! Even if it rains in Minnesota in the summertime, it usually only rains for a short time and then the sun is out again! I've lived here 70 years and wouldn't change a thing! You have an amazing family! Safe travels, and come back and see us real soon! Steve & Julie Peters, Owners

Thanks Tim, for your brief but very kind review. Please come back and see us real soon! We so appreciate you staying with us!

Thank you for your review! It's so fun to host multi-generational families, just like yours. So often it's the grandparents, with their adult children, with the grandchildren. That actually describes our family perfectly, and we use this property often ourselves. And thanks for noticing that it was clean. We hire one of the best services in town and pay them well. We want the place to meet every woman's approval, including my wife's, who is very fussy about cleaning. Lol!

Kent, glad to hear you all enjoyed the home! Come back anytime!

Valerie, we are so glad that you, "Had an amazing 4 days!" That's music to our ears. Our goal is to do everything we can to make sure that every guest has one of the best vacations of their lives. It's a high goal, and we will continue to work to improve every facet of this experience. Many guests have told us that this is the best Airbnb experience they have ever had! We are glad our kitchen & dining setup for your large group worked well. My wife has stocked the kitchen with everything she thinks a guest would ever need. Plus, being in our 7th year of renting, she knows what's needed. You mentioned that the yard is fantastic. Thanks for noticing. That's my pride and joy! I want the grass to look like carpet, and so we spend a lot of time and money hiring the right people to make that happen. And we've also hired a company to control the bugs and mosquitoes. This is our third year with them, and the guests I've asked say it's incredible. Even though we are way out in the country, I've only heard of one mosquito sting this year. Lol! Please come back and visit us again real soon. But from your review, it sounds like you will be back. We look forward to hosting you again! Steve & Julie Peters, Owners.

Lillian, thank you for your review! We are so happy to provide amenities to our guests! Next year we will be adding a pickleball court to the home, and we hope you can come back and enjoy the additional feature!

Sean, Yes, the log home sits on top of a 30 ft bluff, so you can see two miles to the other side of the lake, including the entire 100 Acre island in the middle. (But don't worry, we have a nice asphalt path to walk down to the beach area, making it easy access.) We also have three amazing double seat swings, and lots of guests spend much of their vacation just overlooking beautiful Circle Lake, swinging gently to their hearts content! It's one of my favorite pastimes. Since we faced west, the sun sets can be spectacular! And you're right, we host many families visiting their students at St Olaf and Carlton, just a few miles away. We so often have wedding parties, which this home accommodates perfectly. There are many great wedding venues within a few miles. Thanks again for staying with us, and come back and see us real soon.
