Travis was great to work with… we were renting over opening fishing and because of the late, cold, spring weather the dock was scheduled to be put in until the next weekend… he asked how important it was to have it in and lo and behold it was in when we got there! The grandkids loved spending time on the dock!

The lake property is perfect for family get togethers. Lots of space for meals, sleep and activities. If you bring a boat, there is a private dock across the street and a beautiful lake for cruising and swimming. Travis is a great host and has equipped the home with everything a group could need.

Awesome! Everything was perfect and enjoyed by our family of 10! Loved the beach! This home was clean, comfortable, spacious and the large dining room table was great! It was furnished with everything you might need and then some. Our kids and grandkids loved the kayaks and paddle boat. Would definitely return!

Perfect for family vacation on a beautiful lake

Exceptionally equipped, clean, and plenty of room for our family of 5 adults and 4 young grandchildren. We particularly appreciated the toys the grandchildren could use. The beds were very comfortable. The owners were very responsive. Highly recommended!!

Perfect Stay on Lake Shamineau

We had an excellent stay at Travis' place on Lake Shamineau! Check-in was easy, the cabin was very clean and had everything we needed (and more). The cabin is right on the water. Lake Shamineau is a beautiful lake in Northern Minnesota. We will be back again!

Outstanding Experience!

Property layout was great! The home was well furnished with all amenities we needed. Everything was so nice! Easy access to boat launch (very close to lake home). Garage was a very nice feature, we were able to put our fishing boat in the garage at night which was great! Would highly recomend this rental.

About the host

Hosted by Travis Wilson

Host profile image
Born and raised in this beautiful area of MN. Our family now resides in AZ full-time, but visits our lake house in MN as frequently as our schedule allows. We enjoy the outdoors and love life at the lake. We are happy to have a place that we can share with others, so others cane also make great family memories.

Why they chose this property

This property is new, modern, and quite frankly the nicest in the area. This home went through a complete remodel in July of 2022, where the home was transformed into a place that you don't want to leave. As soon as you enter this house you will see that this isn't your typical vacation home, especially for a lake home in central MN. This home is well appointed and continues to have the best reviews of all properties in the area.

Staying here is awesome all times of the year! Spring fishing, summer vacations, fall leave colors, and winter snowmobiling. The home is setup to be comfortable all year long and there is always something to do!

What makes this property unique

High-end appliances, new furniture, and premium quality mattresses, including a Tempur-Pedic mattress in the primary suite.

A incredibly flat lot with no stairs into the main living area (ramp into front door) and no stairs at the lake shoreline. This is very rare for a lake home in this area and works really well for young kids and anyone that has a hard time getting around when stairs are involved.

Awesome private beach area with great swimming and fishing right off of the dock.

Close to incredible fishing, golfing, snowmobiling, motorcycle riding, etc., and etc. Most people visit here for a week with their family at the lake, but others come specifically for other awesome outdoor activities beyond the lake.
