Amazing fishing/family vacation!

This is an amazing vacation home located centrally to the area lakes. It is great for a family because the house is spacious and beautiful. The road is quiet and the access to the kayaks was an added bonus for our kids. This is our second visit to the lake house and it is one of our favorites of any home we’ve rented.

Great place. Very thoughtful owner. Had everything we needed for a relaxing week. Took advantage of everything this great Minnesota lake property had to offer. Kayaks, fishing, games, and evening fires. We wanted to rent a pontoon for the day - no problem, there was a place 5 minutes away to do that on the big lake.

Love this place!

We had a great week at this lake home. We cooked many meals there and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The entire place was comfortable and well appointed. The yard was perfect for lawn games , and the quiet lake and road made our stay very peaceful and relaxing. We had an infant with us so having laundry on site was very helpful. Garrison and Aitkin are both close by so we had no problem finding boat rental, bait, groceries, restaurants and a pharmacy. We highly reccommend this rental!

Amazing family fishing getaway!

The online pictures don’t do this home justice. It was a beautiful quiet country road with several nice lake homes. The house itself was perfect for our family of 5. We towed our boat and had plenty of room for parking and a public launch was a minute or two at most away. The lake is beautiful and full of fish and the kayaks were a great treat for the kids. We truly loved our time here and didn’t want it to end!

Both the home and the views were beautiful. There was nothing you could ask for that wasn't in that home from kitchen appliances & utensils, linens, down to a tool box! I wish my kitchen at home was 1/2 as well stocked as that kitchen. The owners were easily contacted & responded promptly. If you don't stay here, you'll be missing out on a wonderful rental property.

Great Northern MN stay

Our family had a fantastic trip on Big Pine Lake. This was our 2nd time staying at this location and we are considering a 3rd time next year. The house is a perfect set up for our family and honestly this place has it all. The home is stocked with everything you need. Just bring your food to cook and the kitchen is well equipped. Great supply of toiletry items, towels, bedding/blankets. The owners are wonderful and very responsive. Thank you for opening your home to our family.

Amazing cabin!

This is an amazing cabin/house! It was the cleanest rental we've ever had! The decor is so nice and classy! The yard is perfect for playing yard games and hanging out. Nice view of the lake from the house/yard. Short walk down to the lake. We liked the line of trees for privacy on the right side. Loved the kayaks, canoe, floaties and cornhole! All the amenities were great! Dean (the host) was so responsive! We hope to go back sometime! :)

This property is better than advertised. House is super clean and quiet, friendly neighbors.

A few friends and I went up for a fishing trip. The owner was very helpful with letting us know about parking for our trucks and trailers and local fishing. The house was better than expected. The only thing it didn’t have was cable/dish tv which we knew going in and honestly never noticed that we didn’t have it. Gave our group time to talk to each other. I would definitely stay again. Thanks for the great week.

Absolutely perfect 10/10

We had such a wonderful time at Dean’s place. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook every night. The beds were super comfortable. I even loved the pillows! We could tell a lot of thoughtfulness and care went into making the space relaxing and comfortable - they truly thought of everything. Our kids had a blast using the water inflatables and loved sleeping in the loft space. Dean was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed something. We would come back in a heart beat! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Awesome house and property!

Such a beautiful home - pictures do not do it justice. The owners are very meticulous with their cleaning - everything was in tip top shape. Especially with this Covid virus in the back of our minds, we felt very comfortable. The lake was clean & clear and no end to the loons and the eagles. There were 5 of us gals on a week get away - we enjoy cooking together & there was not one thing lacking in the kitchen. Would highly recommend this property...

A Wonderful Place to Visit with Friends or Family

The home itself was impeccable. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. Once we arrived- we didn’t have to leave to pick up items. The kitchen had everything we needed (even an old fashioned egg beater!) Every day we had coffee in some beautiful pottery mugs! Plenty of floats and kayaks for water days and plenty of games for the rainy days. Plenty of towels, cleaning items, First aid kit, and blankets for the sofas! The hosts answered all my questions in a timely manner. We loved this property!

Absolutely Beautiful

This home is clean, nicely decorated and continued to impress us. The kitchen included quality cookware. The bathroom included soft towels. The beds and living room furniture was comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. We used the kayaks and canoe daily. We fished off the dock and caught bass, perch, sunfish, and crappie. The kids swam in the lake. We traveled with my family of 4 and my father in law. My father in law doesn't get around well but was able to maneuver well with his walker throughout the first floor. The only difficulty was the main floor shower has a high step. Overall amazing experience. The owner is very prompt to answer any questions you may have. Loved it and didn't want to leave.

Beautiful lake-front getaway

My family enjoyed 2 amazing weeks at the lake-front property. The house was perfect, very well maintained, comfortable, and secluded. It was everything we hoped for and more! We played it on the lake almost every day, and found the kayaks to be a great bonus! It was difficult to leave, but we hope to go again some day. Thank you both so much for an amazing place to relax, unplug, and enjoy nature.

Clean, quiet and well appointed

Dean and Nancy have a wonderful property tucked in a private setting. They were proactive in preparing us for what to expect and Dean went above and beyond in responding promptly to a couple of questions I had while there. The house was immaculately clean on arrival and is very spacious. I swear the master bedroom's walk-in closet alone is bigger than a couple of hotel rooms I've stayed at in New York! One tip...Dean and Nancy have thought of nearly everything from cookware, utensils and condiments for food prep to towels, cleaning supplies and bath/shower stuff, so check the cabin before shopping. You may find a pleasantly shorter shopping list than planned. Finally, having the kayaks & lifejackets available as part of the overall price made this a real bargain for the nightly rate. In summary, a great experience from pre-trip to departure with thoughtful hosts in a clean well-stocked cabin on a quiet part of a clear lake. And while they're not responsible for the sunsets, those are a perfect ending to the day down on the dock's bench. 5 stars to every aspect of this property!
