Beautiful house and location. Trout lake is amazing, and the beach is set up to enjoy it! Kitchen had all that we needed and plenty of room for the family. The driveway is really tricky to get in/out of, but just a good reason to stay parked and enjoy the space. Great access to bike/walking trails right across the street.

Kerry, Thanks so much for the feedback and we’re glad you enjoyed your time at our place! As we tell others, based on the desired location in town and on that lake, we had to choose between a bit steeper driveway or a really steep walk to the lake. We chose the steeper driveway. Because you deal with the hill in the driveway, you have a very gradual, and almost flat walk to the lake:) Thanks again and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again at some point.

Great week at the lake!

Our family of 10 loved the house, the beach, the water, and the location. The hosts provided a nice variety of "extras" like paddle boards, pre-made fire pit, and a nicely raked beach for our enjoyment. We also loved the fact that we could walk to a great restaurant just down the road. 10 out of 10.

Perfect Week at the Lake

This cabin has it all! We had three families (6 adults/7 kids) at the cabin and had a great time on and off the lake. We were conveniently located to restaurants, walking path and the lake/dock was perfect for all ages. Fishing and swimming off the dock was ideal for young and older kids with it’s nice sandy beach. Inside the cabin we had all the amenities we needed. Definitely coming back again.

Beautiful Property

This cabin had everything we needed for our stay! We felt perfectly at home. The inside of cabin was beautiful with high end finishes and linens. The cabin was extremely clean. Outdoors we had everything we needed for a fun stay! The only down side of the weekend was the boat traffic that would cruise by the dock extremely close and at high speeds.

The house was very clean and exactly as pictured. Lots of games and activities to do within the house. The only heads up we would have appreciated was the steep driveway. It was rainy and dark when most of the group arrived and was hard for them to see.

Put the TREAT in retreat.

Not many vacation rentals are quite like this one. I've stayed at many, and this is BY FAR the best. Every amenity, every detail, every corner - beautiful. I had my family there this weekend and it was the most lovely experience. Lake time, restaurants near by, and a beautiful homey stay. I didn't want to leave. And the host is just incredible. Thank you for a one in a million stay.

Very nice cabin

We really enjoyed the property. Cabin was recently updated and clean. We gave the property a 4 star because the refrigerator didn't work much of our stay, otherwise it would have been 5 stars. The property owner was very responsive when we reached out with the issue but it took a couple days to get a repair man in to fix it.

AWESOME PLACE!

This was the perfect place for a family get away with grandparents and twin 2 year olds!!!! The place is basically NEW and has every amentity you could want! All of us had the best sleep we have had in ages. Bedrooms are spacious, bathrooms are perfectly appointed, the great room and kitchen table fit so many people. The downstairs tv is HUGE and my little ones loved watching a little TV at night. We lounged in every area and took in the quiet. It is great. We will definately be back. Thank you.

Beautiful getaway!

We had a great week at "In the Pines"! Our group of 16 (four couples + kids) found the house to have plenty of space and the beach/dock was an awesome setup to create memories. Plenty of beach towels provided, so you can pack light. The kitchen is nicely equipped, but you may want to bring your own cheese grater, sharp knives, and large mixing/serving bowls, and dish towels (there were only a few). The Blackstone griddle was great to have for larger meals! Be ware - the driveway is steep and you might have a bear visit your trash bin outside, so it may be a good idea to bring some straps to keep the trash securely shut overnight.

Hello, Thanks so much for the feedback. We’ll upgrade the knives, add some dish towels, cheese grater and mixing bowls! They’ll be there for our next guests! We’ll also be adding straps to garbage cans. Thanks again!

Wonderful house for the whole family

We stayed at Trout Lake for a Memorial Day weekend with our 3 children, their spouses, and 3 kids.The bedrooms easily accommodated everyone. The level beach was a fun place for the kids to play (even though the water was still, understandably, pretty chilly). The adults enjoyed the sauna. We took advantage of the bike trails and shopped in Crosslake a bit too. We appreciate the owner's help in finding us a place to park our trailers as part of our trip involved driving UTVs on the many trails nearby. The extra parking was necessary due to multiple trailers, but also be aware that the driveway is very steep. There is room to park several cars, but driving out onto the road is a bit nerve-wracking due to the incline. Overall a wonderful place - clean, well-maintained and close to many restaurants, shopping, and activities.

We're so glad you chose to stay with us and enjoyed yourselves. The hill is one of those things you have to deal with on that lake, but we chose to deal with it on the roadside rather than lake side. Most of the places on that road have a very large hill on the lake side and have many steps and even elevators to get to the lake. We feel lucky to have level walk to the lake, even though the driveway is exposed to the hill. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks again! Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

Beautiful property and amazing cabin. Has all the amenities you could want on the lake with a relaxing, private beach front. Cabin was clean and quiet with easy access to the surrounding attractions. Many bedrooms to fit our 12 guests comfortably. Only complaint was that the sauna had to be turned on by the host and that communication causes a delay, so sometimes we were able to use it when we wanted and other times we were not. Would be much easier if there was a dial timer for guests to use at their convenience. Otherwise, great property and would stay here again.
