Perfect guesthouse for our family of 11. Sectional sofa is huge and very comfortable, two teenagers slept on it all week. Private doc was great for our lund fishing boat, 4 kayaks and tubes, lilypad, etc. and we rented the pontoon too which was so nice to have right there. Wished we could see the lake from the guesthouse, but it was priced accordingly. Fireplace and chairs very nice too. Refridgerator ice maker did not work but we just bought ice.Overall amazing stay and week, would definitely go back!

Great Family Long Weekend

The cabin was great for our family vacation, it had something for all ages. It was clean and had plenty of space for our family of 8. The outside amenities were great and the lake is a great lake to spend the day on the boat.

Guys weekend

This is a great property for a large group on one of MN best lakes! John is a GREAT host... we have stayed at his place for the past three years... we were impressed the first year, and it only gets better every year. Outside of being a great property, all of the little things are thought of as well...from kitchen utensils to entertainment games. I highly recommend this place for your stay and John as your host.
