Great mini vacation spot

Provate sauna is the highlight for us, outdoor area is great. Furnace of the house is a little loud at night, but far from a deal breaker. Will come back in the summer time

Family Vacation

Wonderful stay in a wonderful location. Nicely furnished, very clean, and had all of the amenities we needed. Just the right size for our 4 person family. It was so nice to come back to such a comfortable and relaxing place after being out all day. Great place that we hope to return to someday.

Fantastic Property

I grew up in this small town. This property is a very short walk to the beach, the VFW Club, the Bakery, Restaurant. It was so much fun to simply "walk the town" - starting and ending at THE LAKE! Place is 100% geared toward VRBO guests - it was clean, neat and well worth the price.

Weekend reunion

We had an excellent stay for a weekend family reunion. The house comfortably accomodated our family of four, and provided an excellent location to get to local parks. We enjoyed the local bakery and coffee house, as well as being able to prepare some of our own meals. We would definitely recommend and come back in the future.

Very cute house. I understand this is a getaway cabin but just thought there would be a television somewhere. Maybe we are spoiled or 'City' people but we enjoy television.

Cozy and comfortable

This property is clean and comfortable. Only thing missing was a tv. We just had 1 teenager with and our stay was short so we didn't miss it. It probably said no tv in the description and I didn't notice. Very nice cabin with everything you need.

In the heart of Menahga

My parents, two children, and I visited Menahga for 5 days to see my 90 year old grandmother and other family. We needed a space for naps, meals, and hanging out, and Janelle and Pam’s rental delivered everything we needed. They both were easy to communicate with when any issues came up and they even reached out to make sure we were taken care of when there was a tornado warning during one of our first nights. We appreciated the special touches like the coffee bar and comfortable bedding. The location was also ideal - we walked to talk playgrounds near the house and were close enough to walk to my grandmother’s apartment. I would recommend this rental if you are in the area!

Great Stay.

We stayed here for the MidSummer Music Festival and the cabin was perfect. The house is stocked well for a short stay with coffee, snacks, plenty of towels and games. The back yard is private and perfect for morning coffee. Would absolutely stay here again.

Family reunion stay

We had a family reunion at Twin Lakes, enjoyed having our own little cottage on a separate lake that was very nearby. Janelle and Pam’s house was very relaxing for us as a family of three & very clean! We stayed during the hottest and most humid week of summer for Minnesota …but had plenty of fans and AC units on each level which helped us stay cool in the evenings. Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage!
