Christmas cabin

We had 13 little people and 10 adults in our crew and this was the perfect fit for our group. The checkin was painless. The property was decorated beautifully for Christmas. There was plenty of space for all of us to gather! Would definitely recommend for any large group! Thanks so much!

We are a large family who cherish time together, and we finally found our summer home here! It was perfect for our family, and we have been searching different places for years! The check in was easy. Chad was amazing to communicate with from the very beginning of our listing, and throughout our stay. We loved the location, Downtown Nisswa is very unique and fun! The True North property was well-equipped, clean and spacious. Even on rainy days, there was plenty of space for all of us to gather. We enjoyed the game room on rainy days, and the private tennis court, beach, lake, yard and hot tub on nice days. As a bonus, our grandchildren put on a surprise talent show for us adults one night, in the private theater, leaving us in happy tears. We hope to, and plan on returning next year, and years to follow. Thank you, Chad!!!
