If we could have stayed longer, we would have!! Cabin is well stocked & very cozy. So many fun things for the kids to do both inside & out. If the weather had cooperated, I think they would have been swimming & tubing from sunup to sundown! Fun times on the pontoon (family contest). Hosts treated us like FAMILY See you next year for s’more!

Loved it!

Traveling to a college golf tournament in the area, this was an ideal VRBO! My 7 players loved the bunk room with the 4 queen beds and it was great to have all the yard games, s'more fixings, etc. Very clean accomodations! It was also nice to have a fire one of the nights! Thank you-awesome decor and renovations!

Perfect stay, very happy. Host proactively took care of a minor bee issue and followed up with us to make sure it was resolved. Very much enjoyed using the SUPs and canoe. Having ability to use a docked pontoon is a huge bonus. Thanks for the sharing your home!

Cute place and easy to find!

We had a great time in this very spacious cabin. It way bigger then the photos show. The pontoon was a great addition and the family really enjoyed toodling around the lake. The only down fall was the lake was a little more weedy then we expected but the weather wasn’t that warm so we didn’t swim much anyways. Would rent again!

Great family getaway!

2 families with 5 kids (12, 9, 4, 3, 2) The one level layout in the house and to the beach, meaning no stairs was wonderful with our 2 and 3 year olds. The variety of lake amenities was fantastic: kayaks, paddle boards, lilly pad, sandy beach (some weeds but normal), yard games, pontoon, etc. Clean place! The communication with owners was fast and helpful. We would love to come back!

Perfect little place

Perfect little getaway spot. We had a great time from roasting marshmallows over the fire to going out fishing. Our kiddos loved the toys and games the house supplied. The boat was a huge extra - caught so many fish off one the the coves. The house is so clean and inviting - we were able to relax in the evenings so comfortably. We will definately be back!

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed the lake house. The kids especially loved the bunk room. We comfortably fit 3 adults and 4 kids/teens in the house. The house was clean and decorated so beautifully, and the kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed using the pontoon and paddle boards. Everyone enjoyed the shadey trees over the sand beach. And our favorite part was being able to have our two dogs along to enjoy the stay with us. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful during our week there. Would definitely come again sometime!

Perfect fit

We rented the cabin for a girls weekend and it was the perfect fit for us! The place was gorgeous and all the little things that you don’t think about bringing were there for us. Sara was very good at communicating and answering any questions that I had throughout our stay. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. Only thing that would have made the weekend better was better weather!

Great weekend at the lake!

Everything was exactly as Sara presented it in her description and pictures. The six of us had ample space to gather and to separate ... and really enjoyed the deck, fire pit, and lake. The kitchen was well furnished and the TV/gathering room was perfect to catch the Vikings game ... even if it was just a tie with the Packers :-)

Beautiful but a few little things

We loved the property, the updates and space for kids were great! Most things were in good shape compared to other places we've stayed, but one couch had a broken back support, the smoke detectors kept going off from oven use (even toaster use!), and the lock to get in was tricky. We emailed the owner when we booked, months ago, with a couple questions and we never heard back which was a bit disappointing. Overall, we'd absolutely stay again but might change the timing a bit because this last week was a mayfly hatch and they were awful (nothing to do with the owners or rental, obviously)! Beautiful place.

Thanks for choosing the cabin for your stay. I looked back over our emails and the only one I received was the initial email regarding possibly renting the pontoon. I apologize I didn’t receive the email with your questions I would have gladly answered them. Thank you for letting me know about the few things to look at. I will have our maintenance person take a look at them right away. Thanks again for staying.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Witzke

Host profile image

My husband and I bought this beautiful home in 2017 and did a complete remodel that same year. We live just outside of Perham. We have 2 kiddos, I'm a stay at home mom and my husband is a real estate agent/mortgage broker in Perham. He has lived here all his life.

Why they chose this property

It's located on a private road, the neighborhood is quiet, low key, friendly and a very relaxing environment. The house sits on a level lot with a beautiful sandy beach. We have a fire pit to roast smores and sit and relax overlooking the lake. The lot also has mature trees to provide shade for those who like it. :) The entire house was updated in 2017.

What makes this property unique

Our bunk room is amazing for families and has toys, reading nook, hanging swing chairs for the kiddos. It has 4 queen beds in it so plenty of room for everyone. Also is located right next to our 2nd bathroom and has a big screen tv for entertainment or movie nights. :) Almost all the main rooms in the house have large windows to look out to the beach and lake.
