We had several questions during our stay and Matt was responsive and helpful. The house was great and the lake, though small, had lots of panfish. We would definitely recommend this home! We appreciated the pontoon, which worked perfectly, and HBOMax. Good internet reception.Thanks, Matt.Lori

Our stay was great. The house was nice for the most part clean. The one thing is there are no grab bars in the shower or tub that would have been nice. There is stairs that go down to the lake and the hand railing is pretty poor shape. I did talk to the host and he said he would work on getting that fixed. The lake view from in the house is beautiful! The sunsets are amazing and great peaceful mornings.we cooked outside and ate outside a lot. The boat was a lot of fun paddle boat was also fun. There are weeds close to shore but at the end of the dock we went swimming. The host was great to communicate with. Send a message and he will get back to you shortly after. I would definitely stay again.

Location is very family friendly. In addition to the 3 bed/3 bath the kitchen was quite large, with lots of utensils for food prep. Dining/living room are large for family gathering. Lots of games and a bumper pool table for entertainment. Nice outside sitting area around fire pit. Great views of the lake, with easy access to the kayak, pedal boat and pontoon, if needed. We would definitely stay again.

Nice cabin, great yard, peaceful lake!! Matt is a wonderful host and extremely responsive. He went out of his way to mail us a very special stuffed animal back that we had forgotten when we left his place (free of charge even). Thank you Matt, we will definitely be back!

Nice Property and location

Property was very nice with great location on private lake. House is on water with big backyard for games/hang out. The cabin is open with spacious rooms. Two bedrooms had full baths which was great. Would recommend.

Very nice property—plenty of room to play yard games and nice fire pit. Great location. Good fishing right off the dock. Recommend renting the pontoon-it was nice to take cruises.

Enjoyed this property!

We enjoyed staying at this property. Having the use of the pontoon was a bonus. We have corresponded with Matt regarding the pontoon and it appears he is working on fixing the issues we brought up. Otherwise everything was great. We would stay there again.

Super Awesome Cabin

Matt made the whole rental process super easy. We like to fish for largemouth bass and this lake is loaded with them. Secluded and quiet. Great spot and not far from Crosslake or Brainerd plus Aitkin has a few great spots to eat and drink as well. We really had a lot of fun at the lake for a week.

Wonderful Week on Sunset Lake

Quiet location, wonderful screened 3-season porch in which to enjoy breakfast coffee and play cards and games with family, beautiful large kitchen to prepare meals and a fun "log" dining room table and chairs. Would like to suggest adding a towel bar/hooks in each of the two bathrooms to hang wet towels. The shower floor in the king-bedroom bathroom is very slippery when wet...would suggest adding a mat or some of those non slip shower strips/stickers to solve that issue. The pontoon boat was an added bonus, even though our fishing endeavors resulted only in catching very small northerns and bass, which kept our "fisher-man" well entertained. All in all, a wonderful week, and I would definitely be interested in returning.

When we arrived, we did see some lack of cleanliness. There was a half empty coke can and an empty beer bottle on the washing machine. And there were ripped and stained dish towels in the drawers.However, after a curious, first impression, everything else was awesome! This cabin is beautiful and amazing! The Wi-Fi was strong! And the accommodations were really quite awesome!We took the advantage of renting the pontoon for the week. It was quite inexpensive and, to be honest, we could see why. It is a slow motor, and the pontoon itself is old and has not had a lot of updates done. It was not in very good shape.HOWEVER! It was very inexpensive to rent for the week and it was worth every penny! It started up every single time we took it out! We were out on the water every single day, either fishing or swimming or both. Several times a day. Our experience with this cabin would have been good, but the Pontoon made it Exceptional! This lake is small, but full of fish! My son caught the the biggest crappie I’ve seen!

Annual Minnesota Fishing Trip

#1) owner MUST Must!!!!!!!!get a better cleaning crew as our first impression was a toilet brush in a dirty toilet and then I proceeded to clean the other 2 toilets as they were disgustingly dirty. We live on a pond ourselves so understand that any home near water can have spiders but the master bedroom was crawling everywhere with them! Changed beds after 1 night due to bites received. Place had been partially cleaned and refrig was spotless ( could tell as it was still wet from being cleaned and fresh food in garbage deposal.) Kitchen has extremely!!!! Limited pots and pans—- 1 lid for assorted 3 skillets /2 pots( except for 2 large “ lobster pots “— on a fresh water lake?? #2 Pontoon had not been touched as it had wet trash and moldy life jackets under the filthy ripped seats. #3 Found out day before we arrived that we needed to bring bottled water after asked host for more info 3 weeks prior as we would be in area the week prior and would appreciate any instructions/ info. No—- I am NOT new to MN lake life as we have been coming for years—- this is first time in July instead of September and our usual unairconditioned place was not available. Only plus —neighbors and the lake are wonderful people and fantastic beautiful lake!!- also grill works great Yes we did take pictures!! Would make a fantastic place if more attention to basic!!!

Loved the view of the lake. Very peaceful. Caught fish every time they went out. Enjoyed the firepit. Kitchen was well equipped and plenty of towels. Parking was tight. Two vehicles and boat and trailer, but we made it work. Garage was not inviting to play games.

Good but could be better . . .

The house is large with plenty of room and bathrooms. The use of the pontoon was a plus along with the paddleboat. The small beach is perfect for kids and the fishing from the dock is amazing!!! The location is close to the Twin Cities and close to Aitkin. Our only disappointment was that the house, the pontoon, and the paddleboat were not clean. Power washing the house and boats and doing a thorough cleaning of the other surfaces would go a long way to making this an amazing place to stay.

Quiet and beautiful lake sunsets

Host was helpful when reaching out to him. The pontoon and paddle boat were a definite must. We also really enjoyed the bumper pool table in the screened in porch. Thankful host informed me a day or two in advanced to bring water along for drinking etc… the water does have a. But if a smell to it. It is well water —I wouldn’t drink it. Grocery store is pretty close by. Loved the lake. It was beautiful. Only a couple things that could be improved on. Living room Furniture and bedding need updating. Old furniture doesn’t invite me to want to lounge on it. Cleanliness— needed a little more attention to cob webs throughout the house and the guest bathroom had garbage in the trash can and didn’t appear to have been cleaned prior to our stay. We also had some issues w the internet. My husband reached out to the owner but problem remained unsolved ( I’m assuming it was out of his control). Tried resetting the router but didn’t have success in making it better. Kitchen could use a griddle and maybe a few more pots/pans. Other wise it is stocked pretty well.

Sunset view on Sunset Lake

Communication with Matt was great, he always replied in a timely manner. Upon arriving at the house, it looked like nobody had lived there in a long time. The house was very dusty, the entry and all sidewalks were covered in dirt and pine needles. Nothing we can't sweep off ourselves, but just thought it could have been ready for us. Same with the kayak and paddle boat, full or webs, pine needles and dirt. The house had ample room and we were able to all have our own space, but still all be together at the same time. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. The master bed is rock hard if you like that sort of thing. The bunk beds felt like they were going to collapse at any moment so the kid assigned to the top bunk ended up sleeping on the floor. Maybe just an issue of needing the screws tightened. The bedrooms were all a nice size, enough room to add dressers. The lake is very clean and clear. The little sand beach area was nice to launch our kayaks and paddleboards. Dinner with a sunset view is always a plus.

Beautiful sunsets and very quite.

The property is very nice as described. Fishing is good. and the sunsets are great. The only reason we didn't give it a 5 was that we were looking for property closer to Crosby.

Nice home on Private lake

We had a great family vacation. Fishing was very good. Bumper pool and the electric "pedal boat" were a big hit with our teenage kids. Would love to stay again.
