This was my first experience booking a VRBO. The home and property were even better than the pictures! Our cousins from Texas were also impressed with the home. We hosted family dinner each night in a spacious kitchen and dining area with extra seating on the shaded deck. We docked our boat and took nightly boat rides with the family. The home was very clean and comfortable!

We spend a few days fishing every fall and the Shingobee Retreat was the perfect spot. Boat launch across the highway, 5 minutes from downtown, and a great location on the lake. Super clean and organized. Seamless check-in/out, welcoming hosts. Will stay again.

Great trip on Leech Lake

We had an amazing trip to the Shingobee retreat lake property. The property was spotless, host/hostess were amazing to work with and very quick to respond. Dock on the lake was easy to tie our boat to with very little wind on this side of the lake plus the boat launch is across the street from the property. Convenient store within walking distance and the kayaks were a perfect addition to. Perfect trip.

Excellent for fishing vacation!

This house was perfect for our annual family fishing trip. Easy access to Leech Lake and dock is protected when the winds are strong. We easily got two 19 foot boats along the dock. Wonderful, responsive, and friendly property owners. House was extremely clean and we will certainly book again in the future.

Great place, location & owners

Clean, comfortable beds, with a prime waterfront location on the main road close to downtown Walker. Owners are very friendly and take good care of the property. Dock fits two fishing boats nicely. (Can rent them right out of DT Walker and keep over night). Worked out great for our fishing trip. Bonus, the pub next door (walking distance) serves good food.

Very Nice & Clean Winter Escape

We (6 adults) came to the area for a pool tournament at No Lights Casino. When we walked in we were impressed by the cleanliness and tasteful furnishings of the house. It was the perfect location, layout and aesthetic for our diverse group. Host is very communicative and has made the place a welcoming and comfortable. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
