Absolutely gorgeous! From the cabin, to the lawn, to the boat dock everything was great! On a quiet road with great lake access we couldn't have asked for a better spot to relax and enjoy a long weekend.

Thanks so much!!It makes us happy to know you enjoyed everything.
Our stay was everything that we hoped it would be! Family, fun, and food! The Lakeview, the bass fishing, the kayaking paddle boarding crafting with family. We just playing had a great time!

The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially enjoyed the calm mornings on the dock and evenings by the fire.

Last minute getaway
The lake home was great and we enjoyed the amenities it provided. It was very clean and well maintained. The lake access was just down the road and her dock was very nice. Shelly was a fantastic host and checked in to see if we needed anything. I would highly recommend her cabin to anyone looking for a great getaway. Thanks again Shelly!

From the Owner: "Thank you, Matt. You were a great guest! Happy you enjoyed the place!"
This was the perfect place to spend a relaxing week away and get in some time on the lake. There was great fishing and swimming at Star Lake. The house was clean and great amenities for cooking. I loved being able tobhave a pellet grill and regular grill. If the mosquitoes got too back outside there was a great area in the garage to relax and play some games with the screen garage door down so we could still enjoy the lake views.

Hello Jennifer, we are very pleased that you enjoyed our lake house. Thank you for being a great guest.🙂
This is a gem! The yard was a nice size with access to the lake right in front. The garage was a great hangout as it did rain at some point everyday! We would return again!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The property is so beautiful with multiple lounging areas and a huge beautifully landscaped yard. It was still a little early in the season for swimming but the large dock was perfect for dangling our feet in the lake, watching the wildlife, and having great conversations. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen when the weather didn’t cooperate for grilling outside. We only had one question for the host during our stay and they responded within minutes. The beds were super comfortable and we all slept very well. I like the upstairs layout of the bedrooms. It gives a great deal of privacy for all guests. The house was clean and cozy and the AC was on upon our arrival. Fans and AC units in all rooms was very appreciated during our arrival on a hot humid day. The lake view was stunning and we had such a relaxing, quiet, restful stay at our getaway from the noise and constant parade of people walking by that we normally have at our house in Fargo.Wonderful hosts, beautiful property, and the perfect relaxing getaway. Can’t wait to book our next stay!!! We had a 10/10 experience here!
