Well organized, all the basics available for a family meal and expectations clearly made. Our family enjoyed a Christmas as a group with enough space for both adults and kids and close enough to their homes they could come and go when needed.

Worth every penny!! I can’t say enough great things about this place! VERY clean! The most stocked VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. Amanda was very accommodating, allowing us an early check in and late check out. Very comfortable beds. We stayed a couple days for a wedding and we were able to have fires, cook great breakfast, and iron all of our clothes. We will ABSOLUTELY stay again!

The property was exactly as advertised. Beautiful lakefront, spacious, exceptionally clean, and well furnished home.We enjoyed the proximity to the Wobegon Trail and shopping in Saint Joseph. Our host left a very detailed and helpful list of suggestions of things to do in the area. We loved the hike to the Stella Maris chapel at SJU-a hidden gem! We enjoyed several meals at the nearby Fisher Club as well.

Fun Family Gathering

Perfect setting for gathering as a family. We completed a 1000 piece family picture puzzle, grilled most nights on the BBQ, swam and enjoyed the paddleboards and biked every day on the Lake Wobegon trail. Drove to experience St. John's university for a hike to the chapel. I have traveled and used VRBOs all over the world and this home was by far the best place to bring family together. Amanda, the host, was always responsive and helpful to all our questions and needs. We all shared how enriched we felt from our stay. So grateful!

Graduation Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at the lovely lake cabin we rented for my son’s graduation. The cabin was charming and comfortable, with several thoughtful renovations already completed and more improvements clearly in progress. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable celebration. The owner was incredibly easy to reach and responsive throughout our stay, which made everything smooth and stress-free. She genuinely welcomed feedback and was open to suggestions—especially appreciated since my mom, who owns a rental home herself and has strong opinions, had a few ideas to share. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d gladly return.

HIGHLY recommend!

Our experience here was excellent! The location was tranquil, the home was spacious and well-kept, and the lake provided amazing views and fun! Our family of five (including two young adults and one teenager) sincerely appreciated the space and relaxation that this home provided. We were in town for a long weekend for a family wedding, and I was dreading renting a couple of hotel rooms. Staying in hotels works well for overnights, but when you need a place for the entire family for several days, hotels are far from ideal. This home allowed us each to have our own space (my husband and eldest son were even able to work remotely part of the time), and the lake activities were truly enjoyable. I'm extremely grateful to have found this home so close to the wedding venue! The next time we're visiting family in MN, I will check this VRBO first and cross my fingers that it's available!
