Spacious cabin, well stocked kitchen. Great lawn space for kids to play. Excellent fishing right from the pier! Rented a pontoon for a few days. Boat landing was only one cabin away. Host was super responsive to our questions.

Family Fun Getaway

My family had the most amazing time while staying at Cabin on Blake!! From paddleboating to kayaking, to games, grilling and stories around the bonfire. It was the perfect vacation for our family. I also enjoyed the ease of renting the cabin and the communication with the property management was top notch! We will be back!!

Excellent experience! The host was very responsive and provided clear and detailed information and instructions. The no-contact check-in and check-out was seamless. The home is spotless, organized, and welcoming. There was absolutely nothing lacking in amenities and supplies! There are even two coffee bars, one upstairs and one in the kitchenette downstairs and a few Keurig cups and flavored syrups were provided! Lots of beds, comfortable sofas and chairs, and plenty of seating at the kitchen table and island provide space and comfort for everybody. The home sits right on the water with a great yard and fire pit. The views and sunrise are phenomenal. The location was convenient for our delicious meals out. I would definitely stay here again and again in every season.

Great Cabin

Our family had a great time at the cabin. The kids loved fishing off the dock, swimming, the swing over the lake, paddle boating, ect. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed! The lake was weedy past the dock but the kids didn't seem to mind. We will definitely be booking again!

Great family weekend!

We had a great weekend with family! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. It snowed most of the weekend, but we still got out skiing at Trollhaugen, enjoyed a walk on the lake, and had a great dinner at Indianhead Supper Club. The big dining table was perfect for game night!

Nice Cabin

Nice cabin. Not much privacy. Not a very clean lake. We went in August.

Katie, We enjoyed hosting your lake vacation. I am sorry to hear that the lake was dirty during your stay. The lake water can get a little weedy or green for a short time in August depending on the summer. Typically, the Big Blake Lake is good for swimming, fishing, and boating. Thank you for your review.

To much information for needed to rent

The property was nice. The excessive paperwork and guest information for the the rental will preclude us for ever renting it again.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jun 2023
Thank you for your feedback on the contract. We agree with you that the old PDF format of the contract was cumbersome for some Cabin renters. For that reason, we have upgraded to an all-digital link as of January 2023. Anyone that rents going forward will receive a link that is shorter and user friendly. I apologize that you missed this new format as you started your rental request in July of 2022. We are pleased that you thought the Cabin was nice, and we hope that you and your family enjoyed the incredibly special birthday celebration. Warm regards, The Pannkuks

Relaxing cabin escape

The cabin is spacious and well appointed, having every thing we needed or wanted from kitchen items, to extra blankets, to kayaks. Six women had a lovely stay, kayaking, reading, knitting, and exploring the area. The lake is right out the back door, perfect for kayaking several times every day. The owners kept in contact from the day we booked the cabin until the day we left. They are very organized and provide lots of information, which allowed us to have a fabulous time.

Wonderful winter stay

We had a wonderful winter stay at this house. The location was good, we visited the Trollhaugen Ski area daily, the Dancing Dragonfly Winery, and the Maple Syrup Shop. We were two families with two kids and two small dogs, and there were plenty of space to spread out during the day, and then again get together at the evenings for dinners and table games in the living room/kitchen. The open plan worked just great for our group! The house was clean and well stocked up for us to cook our dinners, but the carpets seemed very old, so this is the only reason we put 4 stars for cleaning. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay! Thank you for hosting us!
