We had a great stay. The cabin had everything we needed, plus a lot of extras that made this the best place we have stayed at. Location was close to activities we had planned. Nice views of the lake. Comfortable bed and furniture. Kitchen well stocked. We brought our dog, he enjoyed walks around the area, he had a fenced in yard, and Erika even left homemade treats for him to enjoy. Hope to stay here again next time we are in the area.

A lovely cabin right on the lake, it is clean, pretty, quiet, and comfortable. Comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen made it even better. Host Erika went out of her way to accommodate us and make sure everything was just right. We felt wonderfully looked after and can’t wait to come back.

Wonderfully relaxing with a beautiful view

Very nice location with a wonderful view. Cabin was immaculately cleaned, and owner left plenty of snacks and all the condiments needed for cooking. All the necessary living essentials were also provided! Owner also was very attentive and answered my questions within a few minutes!

Close Winter Get-Away

Had a really nice time staying at Erika's cabin. Close to the cities, with rural cabin feeling. Home was very clean, and accommodating. The cabin living area was open and inviting, with its high vaulted ceiling, and yet comfy cozy enough to settle down with a good book. Would be a great summer vacation as the home is only a few steps away from the lake. Thanks Erika for our relaxing retreat!!

Perfect, peaceful lake house rental

This was one of our best ever rental experiences! We were looking for a peaceful place on the water to stay while our son recuperated from surgery. We found it! The lake house was just as described and seen in pictures and was so clean! It has the perfect view of the water and comes with lots of toys to enjoy on the water. Erika could not have been kinder or more accommodating to meet our needs while we helped our son recover. We are so thankful we found this place!

YOU BETCHA WE WILL COME BACK!

My husband and I had a perfect weekend getaway for his 30th birthday.Ericka was an absolute delight to work with. Absolutely stunning cabin fully equipped with anything you could need. Pet friendly as our golden retriever Rosie was able to join! Close to Minnehaha Falls or Mall of America for day activities, followed by breathtaking view of the lake and the jet tub was just as gorgeous as it looked in the pictures. Very easy and readily to communicate with and not overbearing hosts at all. If your looking for a winter or any season really, getaway that's not too far from home this place was perfect! Can't wait to come back!

Thank you Nicole for the glowing review! I'm so glad you were able to bring Rosie with, she is such a doll. I sure hope Michael had an enjoyable time for his birthday too! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay exploring the Twin Cities this weekend and at our lake home...it was a pleasure to host you :) Nicole had fabulous communication before and throughout their stay. They observed all the house rules and left the house in excellent condition. I would recommend them as fantastic guests and we would absolutely love to have them back anytime! (Don't forget to bring Rosie!)

Hands down, our favorite experience renting via VRBO! The cabin is a cute little place on the south bank of Lake Owasso. You can’t get any closer to the lake than this place! It’s so quiet and peaceful! We enjoyed watching all the birds on the lake including a couple bald eagles fishing! The only noise is really the occasional train going by. The parking is limited due to the private road but easily accommodated four vehicles. The cabin kitchen is nicely equipped with everything you need from baking cookies to making a crock pot meal. After 16 years, we moved out of Minnesota 5 years ago and frequently return for short visits with family. We definitely miss the MN vibe and all the fun things to do and the diverse food scene. We stayed at the cabin for a week during Thanksgiving and served dinner to our family of 9 easily. The double oven is such a lifesaver. The convenience of a washer/dryer allowed us to pack light. The loft king bed is very comfortable and the pillows are great! I can’t say enough about how accommodating and thoughtful the hostess is! She went the extra mile of helping to ensure we had enough chairs and kitchen equipment for our Thanksgiving dinner. She was very responsive to anything we needed and had great communication. We definitely felt at home during our stay and look forward to booking again soon!

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and thoughtful review—it truly made my day! I’m so happy the cabin could be a cozy home base for your Thanksgiving week and that it worked well for hosting your family. Hearing that you enjoyed the peaceful lake setting, the birdlife (especially the bald eagles!), and those little comforts like the double oven, washer/dryer, and loft bed means a lot. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and I’m glad I could help make your holiday gathering comfortable and memorable. Knowing the cabin gave you a bit of that Minnesota “home” feeling is the highest compliment. You’re always welcome back, and I’d love to host you again on your next visit. Wishing you all the best until then!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

When we first walked in, we were impressed by the log cabin feel, cleanliness, and fresh scent that remained through the duration of our visit. There's a great view of the lake, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Erika was a great host and went above and beyond to make our stay special.

5 Star Getaway!

Felt like we were up north but with all the amenities of city living. Erika was a perfect hostess. There were so many personal touches. The master bed was extremely comfortable. It was great to be able to have our dog with us during our stay. She enjoyed it just as much as we did. We would highly recommend this getaway!

Local Cabin get away

We are from the Twin Cities and wanted to go to a cabin for spring break. Little did we know we could go to the cabin and only drive 15 minutes from our house. We had so much ease in being close to home with packing. If we forgot something we had a quick trip home. We really felt like we were away from the routine of life. The cabin was well stocked, perfect for our family of 5 ( 2 adults, 1 teenage and 2 dogs). Our pooches had great walks and a fenced in front yard. Erika had fresh banana bread waiting for us and was a wonderful hostess with spices to use, snacks including crackers and cheese and dog biscuits too! We would definitely happily return. There are train tracks near the house but we only noticed them a couple of times and it certainly would not be a reason not to book this little gem of a local cabin on the lake.

Perfect

We were a little nervous about traveling during a pandemic, but this cabin immediately felt like a safe and cozy retreat. Erika's communication went above and beyond, as did everything else about the place. We were amazed at how clean everything was, all the special touches (extra towels, blankets, toiletries, and even groceries!), and the beautiful view. We spent a lot of time at the fire pit with family and would love to return in the summer to enjoy the lake. Highly recommend!

Amazing staycation

We needed a local place to stay while we put our house up for sale. The location and amenities were amazing! We spent most our time on the deck, enjoying the lake. Erika is an amazing host. She communicated often, asking if we needed anything. All of the little things, like snacks for the kids and a crate for our dog made us feel at home.

Amazing rental

Everything about this place was outstanding. We’ve stayed at VRBO’s all over the US, and this was among the best. Erika thought of everything - the house was as good and better than advertised. Such a well appointed house, in an incredibly beautiful setting. We didn’t even feel slighted due to the weather being a bit cold for our stay. The house was so cozy and great to hang out in. Location is excellent. You are 5-15 minutes from any restaurant or shopping place you could think of. Great breakfast at the Scandinavian Bakery 2 minutes away. I would give this a 5 star rating without hesitation. Thank you so much Erika - we will certainly be back. Andy & Kari Hyatt

This Property Sets The Bar For A Perfect VRBO Experience

As a frequent traveler and VRBO guest, I can confidently say that this property by far sets the bar for a perfect VRBO experience. I rely on reviews and this VRBO’s past reviews led me to book this property. If you are considering this VRBO, I am encouraging you to book it; you will not be disappointed!! This was the cleanest space I’ve ever been in; not to mention the beauty of cabin and lake. Everything was laid out with intention and common sense. Check in and lock box access was simple. Erika was an amazing and caring host. We even arrived to a beautiful spread of snacks to kick-off our stay! Thank You Erika! Kudos to you guys, you are doing this right!
