While the first impression leaves a little to be desired, the overall property, interior and location make this a premium place to vacation. First, Sugar Lake is one of the clearest and quietest lakes in Minnesota. It is not a huge lake, but that adds to its charm as we were never bothered by noise or wake or other people on the water. There is plenty of shallow water with sand near the shore of this property. The backyard offers plenty of room to hang out by the fire pit or toss the football (found in the garage). The deck is elevated and offers a great view of the lake and backyard.
And then the inside is amazing. We have been staying in timeshares and vacation rentals for over ten years and we think this kitchen and inside was the best stocked of any we have ever stayed in. There was saran wrap, paper towels, serving spoons, cookware, and just about everything else you could imagine.
And Kyle was a most gracious host. We spoke over the phone on the first night and he was more than accommodating. Checking in and checking out were all super easy and he shared the plans he has for this place in the future.
We had two families of four and we had enough room for us all to play and relax. The only thing missing is a dining room table and enough inside dinner chairs for everyone but the weather was perfect and were able to eat outside.
I highly recommend this place for a large group or a couple families as the ping pong and bunk beds offer a charm not found many other places.
Thank you Kyle!!
