My husband and I enjoyed the cottage, very tranquil location with everything you need to enjoy "up-north" living. Our host Adam, was wonderful to rent from and even provided us with great information on boat rentals etc Loved our stay and hope to return.
Fantastic property! First time renting a house on the lake since we sold our place there. This home has everything you need and more, we had been use to having all our own stuff and did not know what to expect. They have games, stuff for the lake, and lots of great areas to relax. The kids love these the bunkhouse as they are teenagers and starting high school. Favorite part was our daughter found a hammock that was just like the one she had! She almost cried as that was something so special to her- we set it up, same lake just a different view. Thanks for making the entire process so easy for us- we can’t wait to comeback.We are definitely going to look at scheduling a stay once every season…it was nice to back at our “summer home” and seeing all our friends and family at the lake.
Lake views where beautiful.. had everything from kitchen to the lake anyone could ask for! Had couple questions for the host after we arrived and got back to us very quickly with the answer we were looking for! Very pleasant place to stay on dead end rd. Very peaceful place to stay! And very close to town for food/drinks or if even forgot something for the trip! I would recommend staying here to friends or family!
Absolutely wonderful stay! Everything was exactly as advertised. The cabin was clean and comfortable with great views and a fantastic ninja coffee maker. The host was wonderfully communicative. We especially loved the kayaks, it is such a beautiful lake.
We enjoyed a relaxing stay with our dog and kayaking on the lake. The cabin and surrounding area were as described. It is a beautiful spot on the lake. We would also recommend a hike on the Moccasin Lake Trail which allows dogs.
First time visit and we unfortunately will not go back. The host was wonderful with communication and response. But there were a couple things that I feel were not up to par. When we first arrived, we started to unload the coolers into the fridge. The fridge was dirty, so I had to take out shelves and wash them before I could put things away. The stand-alone ice maker did not look like it was cleaned between renters either. We also discovered that dishes from the previous renter were put away dirty or washed poorly, so we washed everything before we used it. I did contact the host regarding these issues, he stated it is the last renter's responsibility to clean those- but the cleaning crew should be checking. The water in the house was also an issue. Very poor water pressure and sulfuric smell- impossible to shower and difficult to flush the toilet. Contacted the owner and he walked my husband through how to change out the filters- he credited us the cleaning fee but I think a lot of it falls back on the cleaning crew and what they are not checking between guests. Very cute place and super peaceful just had too many hiccups to consider another visit.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2026
Thank you for the feedback. I'm sorry the start of your stay was rough, that's not the experience we aim for. The water issue is on me. I had 5 of the 6 filters on site but made the wrong call to wait until the iron filter arrived on the 31st to change them all at once, rather than swapping the 5 ready ones right away. Appreciate you and your husband's patience working through that with us. The fridge, ice maker, and dishes should have been caught by the cleaning crew. We'll keep working with them to tighten that up. Glad the peace and quiet came through despite the hiccups. Thanks for taking the time to write this up.
The cabin is comfortable with room to spread out. We found everything we needed during our stay. The lake is beautiful with a rocky bottom nice for swimming. The bunkhouse is cozy for movies and sleeping. This was our second stay and it only improved
We love this place! Great views. Cozy cabin. The kids love the bunk house. We stay here every summer. Great host. Great communication. Highly recommended!
Owner was very responsive to our communications both prior to the trip and during. The view was amazing and the lake is mostly free of weeds, which we loved. The house was clean when we arrived. Their directions for access were very clear.
Great place! Cute little cottage with a great view! Kids loved having their own bunkhouse. Very accommodating host. Would (and are already booked to) stay again next year!
Responsive host. Quiet location. Beautiful lake views. All the amenities you might need for a relaxing lake vacation. Our only complaint was the mosquitos. Definetly bring your bug spray and a thermacel if you have one.
Great property to spend time on a beautiful lake. We loved the provided kayaks and Lilly Pad for the water. Adam was very responsive with a few issues we had (delayed towels and power outage from a storm).

About the host
Hosted by Adam Rortvedt
We are a family of five. We live a very busy life and wanted to spend more time with our kids while we have them. We wanted something that the family could rally around and enjoy together. We wanted cozy and complete with water and woods. We like to find any excuse to unplug and unwind. We have noticed the moods change for the better the closer we get to the cottage. It's a wonderful family experience that we want to share with others.
Why they chose this property
The big views from under mature oak trees are priceless. The breeze, the wind, the dock, the shore, the fishing, the views, the trails, the up north feel in every sense. The little hill provides great views but it is still easy to access the lake. Not a billy goat shore. We like the grass, the dead end road and the access to many hiking trails.
What makes this property unique
The bunk house is great for the kids. They feel like they are at camp. They can get away from their parents and tell stories and jokes and play games. They get their own space that they can destroy and nobody critiques them. The pier is great, with the ladder it makes it easier for swimmers of all ages. The water is dark but it is clean and refreshing. No algae.
