Very enjoyable and relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Location is great and enjoyed the fire pit. Would definitely stay here again.
The perfect lakeside house. Very clean, with all necessities for the comfort of home. The lake is beautiful and wild life is everywhere. Comfortable beds, quite private area, everything was wonderful.
The host was excellent communication and accommodation. The property is beautiful and well maintained. I was there for the fishing, nice dock setup with power to change my batteries. Definitely return next year!
We had a great stay at Barefoot Joy and will be staying here again! The house was very clean and and organized. Loved the single level living and the outdoor space. The short walk to the beach and pier is a huge plus!
This house was wonderfully comfortable and a great location for exploring the area. Clean house and a well appointed kitchen were appreciated. We spent enjoyable afternoons on the beach letting the lake melt our stress away. A great stay!
This cabin is well stocked with everything you need for your stay. It is clean, comfortable, and in a great location - right on Lake Hubert with a nice yard and beach, right off the Paul Bunyan trail for walking and biking, and a short bike ride or drive from Nisswa.
Perfect property for my family of four. Sandy beach, well-kept lake front, bike trail access, clean home and thoughtful property owners. well stay there again!
We stayed At the Hubert Hideaway because a family member was getting married at The Catalyst. We couldn’t have asked for a better location, more equipped, cabin, and awesome view!

Fall at the lake is a great time of year. Less bugs, good fishing, the lakes area is at a slower pace. Hope to see you again.
Our second stay was just great! Cabin is as advertised with all the supplies needed for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying a Minnesota lake. Cabin is clean and location is excellent. Thank you, Todd and Kim, for another enjoyable week.
I enjoyed a quick weekend trip to Nisswa/Lake Hubert. The cabin and property were well maintained and clean. Lovely lake views, easy trail access and close to town. Communication with property owner was easy. Highly recommend!!
Todd and Kim's property was everything we expected and more. It is nicely appointed and has everything you need. Todd does an excellent job communicating to make sure everything is good. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
Todd was very responsive and made sure we got in and out okay. The property was very well maintained and tidy, the sandy beach was clean with hardly any weeds. Beautiful view, beautiful lake.
The cabin is clean and well stocked. The property is beautiful with tall pines and flower gardens. The kayaking is very good with great access to the water. Thanks Todd for the help you gave us this year with our kayaks. See you next year!
This property checked all the boxes for us. Close lake to the Twin cities metro with a well kept cabin, nice amenities, close to the Paul Bunyan trail and no shortage of things to do. Todd was responsive prior to and during our trip. We are already planning on staying again based on how wonderful our stay was. Thanks for the memories!!
This was a very sweet cabin simply furnished with everything we needed. The location fit our needs perfectly as we spent most of our time away with friends. The owner was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions we had. Reminiscent of my home growing up in the early 70s

We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at our property. Hope you can come again and enjoy another bonfire and watch the sunset. Think about a visit in the fall with the cool crisp nights and changing leaves or in the winter you can hop on the Paul Bunyan trail out the back door or just get away and relax for a few days.
We had the best stay at this wonderful little cabin on lake Hubert! The property is stunning and the private beach was perfect for the little ones. Todd was thoughtful and easy to communicate with.
The cabin has all of the essentials including a washer/dryer and dishwasher which came in handy for all the dirty kid clothes and cooking we did.
The beds were incredibly comfortable with high quality sheets too which was a pleasant surprise. All in all we can’t wait to go back!
The cabin was better than pictured in the listing. Larger, great views and amazing sand beach. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including welcome pack for s’more making. The bike trail starts literally at the end of the driveway. Something for every age and interest. The owner was very responsive and helpful.

About the host
Hosted by Todd and Kim Dunlap
Our family purchased this property in June of 1975 as a summer lake cabin. 2025 will bring 50 years at the lake. Our family and friends enjoy it much of the year but there are pockets of time that you can enjoy it too. You will find remnants of Dad's love of flowers with everything from spring tulips to tiger lily's to enjoy for fresh cut flowers at the table. Our own home is just 10 minutes away. Lots of memories here from the past and many to be made in the future. We can remember when the railroad used to go along the back of the property and blow its horn (now the Paul Bunyan trail).
Why they chose this property
Come and enjoy this park like setting. Lake Hubert is known to be crystal clear and is home to famous Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert. Maybe it will be the bright red Cardinal or the hummingbird at the feeder, the loons by the dock or a walk down the Paul Bunyan trail to the old Train Depot that you will fall in love with. You will want to return again in the future. Everyone that has stayed has mentioned the great beach and how much they enjoyed their stay. The water is deep enough for your boat and the property. If you bike or snowmobile it is an awesome place to hop on the Paul Bunyan trail.
What makes this property unique
Four seasons of fun and relaxation, a cup of coffee on a brisk morning or a cold libation on a steamy afternoon sitting on the front deck area or on the dock, floating on a tube, laying in the sun on the large sand beach, listening to the pop of a fire in the fire pit, roasting marshmallows, taking a nap while the boys are golfing or fishing or while the gals are uptown shopping.
