This was our best VRBO stay ever. They hosts were exceptionally hospitable and generous with their time, advice, and help. The boathouse was cozy, attractive, and spotlessly clean. The lake is gorgeous, and the fishing excellent. The kitchen is equipped with all you need. We give this place our highest recommendation!

This was an amazing place!! Perfect for my wife and 11 year old son as we visited big brother at Shattuck St Mary’s! My little guy got to fish and we saw lots of fish action around the dock. I just couldn’t find the right bait!We were able to make breakfast easily in the morning!If there are SSM Families looking at this property, it was less than 20 minutes to campus!We will be back!

What a gem! The Boathouse was a lovely place to spend Memorial Day weekend! We enjoyed the lake, kayaking, fishing, swings, and walks with our dogs. Our hosts, Kristy and Casey, welcomed us and made the experience a memorable one for our family. We hope to return!

Weekend getaway

My two young sons and I had a very nice visit to The Boathouse. The lake is well used but not busy and the water is calm. We spent our time on the kayaks, fishing from the dock, and on land with a fire to warm up the cool summer evenings. The Boathouse is well-kept, comfortable, and charming and the hosts are delightful and generous. The drive into the twin cities is very easy. I would definitely recommend.

Boat house

The boat house was a cute place to get away. Its very quite. The owners are amazing. If you want company or to be left alone they respect it. They might even take you on the boat and go for a night time swim.

Long weekend at the Boathouse

Wonderful, cozy little place with a full kitchen. Great view of the lake and decor was so cute. The place was very clean-we met the host and he was so friendly and helpful. Nice sized bathroom, cute living room with bed and extra spaces to sleep. It was a great little get away on the coldest weekend in 2 years, lol. Bring your slippers in the winter-the heat is great but the floor can be a bit chilly-understandably. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending this place or going back myself!

Relaxing retreat

The boathouse was very cute, looking out over the serene Fox Lake. We were not able to take advantage of the kayaks and paddle boat since we had our dog with us. The property had games, books, and many other extras in case you forgot to bring something. Our host was very friendly and gave us great info. We look forward to the next visit.
