Cute place, nicely appointed, good location (for my group), very clean. Downsides- air conditioning doesn’t equalize between the three levels of the house (basement bedroom was very cold and the loft was hot) and the house is pretty compact so not much privacy.

There is so much to like about this rental property. It was close to the public boat access so getting on and off the lake is not an issue. The rooms were cutely decorated and the kitchen was more than adequate for our needs.The location was perfect for our reunion, we were less than 2 miles from where the event was held. Easy to find and plenty of parking for our vehicles.Thank you for being such a great host!

Cute cabin just a short walk from the lake!

Beautiful little property tucked away from the lake. It came with more amenities than most VRBOs that really made it feel like home. Our hosts were very responsive ensuring we were comfortable. Loved the deck and outdoor firepit!

Great base camp for Paul Bunyan Land, Safari North Wildlife Park/zoo, mini golf, lakes, lakes, and more lakes! The little ones could play safely on the deck while grandma rocked in the lovely rocking chairs. Plenty of sleeping options, and the open concept worked great for family fun.

Wedding Getaway

This was literally a home away from home. Right off Gull Lake! The home was so warm and comforting. Our family felt at ease and enjoyed the memories made in the property and in the community. Neighbors were also friendly and kind. We enjoyed every moment, thank you for sharing your home.

Wonderful pplace

The house is super clean, the beds are super comfortable, the host was very responsive. When we arrived there were only 5 towels for 7 of us and fresh ones arrived like magic soon after we called the host. We used all 4 bedrooms which are well spread out for privacy, and there are 2.5 bathrooms which was very convenient. The house is right near a public boat launch, so we rented kayaks from Adventure to Go and were able to go out on the lake. Very fun!

Our stay was wonderful and easy from check in to check out. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had! My husband decided to bring along his brand new fishing boat, so the huge garage was so nice to store it in. There were so many homey touches throughout the house. The decorating was so cute and put us all on vacation mode right away. The grill was so nice as well as the cute little porch rocking chairs for morning coffee. We loved being so close to the Paul Bunyan Trail, great shopping and Rafferty’s Pizza / the Chocolate Ox in Nisswa, and of course the boat launch on Gull Lake right across the street. One night we took our boat down to Zorbaz for dinner and music! Our family felt right at home. We can’t wait to go back to this lovely cabin in the future!!!
