Thank you for coming back this year, and glad you continue to enjoy!! See you again soon!!
This Vrbo was ideal for our camp-themed bachelorette! The cozy cabin had charming rustic decor, and the outdoor space with the lake and pontoon was perfect for relaxing and bonding. The host was friendly and helpful, and the location was secluded yet convenient. It truly made our celebration special and memorable. Highly recommend!
Loved our experience at this property. Marjorie was an excellent host and would highly recommend. Quite lake setting with close proximity to golfing and mountain biking.

Tammy, your group was wonderful. Come back any time!!
Our family of 11 enjoyed our 3 night stay very much. We could not spend as much time as we had hoped on the water due to the weather, but we had fun playing badminton, volleyball, bags, pool, ping pong, darts, chess, etc. The hot tub and campfire were very relaxing. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms worked out perfectly for us. It was nice to have multiple sitting areas, two fridges, a well stocked kitchen, and an enormous master suite! Be sure to bring firewood.
Our family had a fabulous time at this cabin! With 16 people it can be hard to find places that "fit" just right, but this cabin had everything we needed! Enough room to spread out, big table for us all to eat together, multiple levels for kids that needed naps, multiple refrigerators and washers/dryers, and a great swimming area around the dock! Would definitely book here again as we made some amazing memories!

We had a great time at the cabin with family and friends. Cabin has plenty of room. Marjorie was great with any requests we had asked for and the communication was awesome. Would highly recommend this cabin.

Thank you Austin! Glad you had a great time. You were the perfect guest, come back any time!
Great cabin with a perfect floor plan for mutliple families or guests. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the outside walls of the house with the center of the home being the common space (living room, kitchen, dining and game room). There was plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to keep the kids and adults entertained. We also rented their pontoon and it worked great. We would stay again!
Property was very clean and cozy for our annual family Christmas get together. Was even decorated tastefully with Christmas decorations and trees. Marjorie was very accommodating and genuinely interested in making our stay very pleasant. She was easy to get ahold of when we had questions and responded almost immediately. Would definitely recommend this property and plan on staying there again.

Thank you for the kind words Diana! Iām so glad you found our place and hope you come back soon!!
We really enjoyed our family weekend together at your home this December. We filled every bed and were grateful to the many spaces for family togather to play pool, ping pong, or board games; piece puzzles, watch movies, or cook. Accommodations were nice, house was well stocked, and beds were comfortable. Booking and check in went smoothly and Marjorie responded to all our questions about the house or area. We hope to come again!.
We had a wonderful time at this house. The kids enjoyed the game room and all the water activities. The boat was a hit. I would defiantly come back. I loved that the house is on a smaller lake and lots of room outside for the kids to play.

About the host
Hosted by Marjorie Safaie
We are native Minnesotans who moved to California in 2003. I, Marjorie, grew up in neighboring Aitkin. Both my husband and I enjoyed the summers and the lakes of Minnesota and had both dreamed of owning a vacation property there someday. We have many family members and friends in Minnesota and this large home has been a wonderful place to gather.
Why they chose this property
Our vacationers love how it is mostly one level living, including the pool table and game room, which is visible from the kitchen so even those who are doing the cooking are part of the fun!
We stayed here as a vacation rental spot for our own family in Summer 2017. We absolutely fell in love with everything about the property, and knew this was where our dream would become a reality. The home is amazing, the lot it sits on is private and peaceful, the lake is so close you can talk to those on the dock from the balcony!! Furthermore, we enjoy this area because of the water activities, huge property and lot for our family to spread out in while there, restaurants and activities nearby if we want to get out, great golfing nearby. And, only two hours to get to from the Minneapolis airport. Great restaurants and golfing within 10 minutes!
What makes this property unique
The resident loon and eagles on this lake never fail to inspire us. Our property is around 2 acres filled with oak and pine trees and in a rural ,peaceful setting. Now that we own this home, we have made a few additions so our family and all the kids and adults alike will enjoy it even more including a pool table with a ping pong table overlay. Hours of fun, if the lake itself isn't already enough!!
