Property was clean and ready for us. Jason was helpful in explaining how to operate the pontoon. Well equipped with everything you may need. Beautiful beachfront and view.
Lovely property, house was beautiful and clean. Perfect set up for young children with many toys and activities. Great communication with seller about check in. Our entire family loved this property.
We had a great family vacation for our family of 4 - extra room for gathering and we enjoyed our time even on the rainy days. Lots of games and space to relax and have fun. Hope to come back soon
We absolutely LOVED this cabin!! It was perfect for our little family. The bunk room for kids is simply adorable and our kids didn’t want to leave! Evenings by the fire were so peaceful and the sandy beach was so pretty!! We will definitely be back!!

If we could have stayed longer, we would have!! Cabin is well stocked & very cozy. So many fun things for the kids to do both inside & out. If the weather had cooperated, I think they would have been swimming & tubing from sunup to sundown! Fun times on the pontoon (family contest). Hosts treated us like FAMILY See you next year for s’more!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home is well stocked and functioned perfectly for our family of six! The bunk room was an awesome space with lots of toys for the little kids! Thanks so much! Would definitely love to come back!
Property was everything we could have asked for:
-plenty of room for our extended family
-nice, big kitchen, with good seating areas
-comfortable family areas and play space for kids
-great outdoor area for hanging out, grilling food, and sitting by the fire
-sandy beach and shallow water for the kids to play
-great accessories to use in the water including kayak, paddle boards, and pontoon
Overall a great experience and communication with Sara and Jason was perfect. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay here if we’re back in the area again.
Our two children’s families stayed at this cabin and had an amazing time. Everything is thought out and provided. Entertainment for those of all ages. I concur with all the other positive reviews. Excellent communication from the owners. A 10 out of 10!

Loved it!
Traveling to a college golf tournament in the area, this was an ideal VRBO! My 7 players loved the bunk room with the 4 queen beds and it was great to have all the yard games, s'more fixings, etc. Very clean accomodations! It was also nice to have a fire one of the nights!
Thank you-awesome decor and renovations!

So glad you and your team enjoyed your stay. Hope you did well in the tournament.
Perfect stay, very happy. Host proactively took care of a minor bee issue and followed up with us to make sure it was resolved. Very much enjoyed using the SUPs and canoe. Having ability to use a docked pontoon is a huge bonus. Thanks for the sharing your home!
We had a great time in this very spacious cabin. It way bigger then the photos show. The pontoon was a great addition and the family really enjoyed toodling around the lake. The only down fall was the lake was a little more weedy then we expected but the weather wasn’t that warm so we didn’t swim much anyways. Would rent again!
2 families with 5 kids (12, 9, 4, 3, 2) The one level layout in the house and to the beach, meaning no stairs was wonderful with our 2 and 3 year olds. The variety of lake amenities was fantastic: kayaks, paddle boards, lilly pad, sandy beach (some weeds but normal), yard games, pontoon, etc. Clean place! The communication with owners was fast and helpful. We would love to come back!
It was a beautiful house, great view and great weather. We had a large family group staying and hosted a small birthday party for my grandson. We had issues with the secondary bathroom backing up. Other than that it was a wonderful time and a great space to be in.
Perfect little getaway spot. We had a great time from roasting marshmallows over the fire to going out fishing. Our kiddos loved the toys and games the house supplied. The boat was a huge extra - caught so many fish off one the the coves. The house is so clean and inviting - we were able to relax in the evenings so comfortably. We will definately be back!

Thanks again for staying! I'm so glad you were able to catch a lot of fish. :)

We really enjoyed the lake house. The kids especially loved the bunk room. We comfortably fit 3 adults and 4 kids/teens in the house. The house was clean and decorated so beautifully, and the kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed using the pontoon and paddle boards. Everyone enjoyed the shadey trees over the sand beach. And our favorite part was being able to have our two dogs along to enjoy the stay with us. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful during our week there. Would definitely come again sometime!

Perfect fit
We rented the cabin for a girls weekend and it was the perfect fit for us! The place was gorgeous and all the little things that you don’t think about bringing were there for us. Sara was very good at communicating and answering any questions that I had throughout our stay. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. Only thing that would have made the weekend better was better weather!

Great weekend at the lake!
Everything was exactly as Sara presented it in her description and pictures. The six of us had ample space to gather and to separate ... and really enjoyed the deck, fire pit, and lake. The kitchen was well furnished and the TV/gathering room was perfect to catch the Vikings game ... even if it was just a tie with the Packers :-)

About the host
Hosted by Sara Witzke
My husband and I bought this beautiful home in 2017 and did a complete remodel that same year. We live just outside of Perham. We have 2 kiddos, I'm a stay at home mom and my husband is a real estate agent/mortgage broker in Perham. He has lived here all his life.
Why they chose this property
It's located on a private road, the neighborhood is quiet, low key, friendly and a very relaxing environment. The house sits on a level lot with a beautiful sandy beach. We have a fire pit to roast smores and sit and relax overlooking the lake. The lot also has mature trees to provide shade for those who like it. :) The entire house was updated in 2017.
What makes this property unique
Our bunk room is amazing for families and has toys, reading nook, hanging swing chairs for the kiddos. It has 4 queen beds in it so plenty of room for everyone. Also is located right next to our 2nd bathroom and has a big screen tv for entertainment or movie nights. :) Almost all the main rooms in the house have large windows to look out to the beach and lake.
