Great Family Reunion Lake vacation

Spent a week with family of 15 ages 8 to 82, wonderful experience right on beautiful serene lake with plenty to do. Nice deep swimming lake, used water trampoline and slide every day plus beautiful calm lake for paddle boarding and kayaking, fishing great aa well. House had everything could want with plenty of room for everyone and well stocked kitchen, we ate in most nights. Kids loved arcade in basement. Owners quick to respond to any issues and whole process was easy, would definitely recommend and will come back

Could not have asked for a better experience

The home was beautiful with plenty of bedrooms for a family of 10. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. Beautiful small lake just right for relaxing, fishing and tubing. Close to plenty of golf courses. Loved the whole experience.

What an amazing place for a large family.,!

Jordan was so great to work with! I arrived and house was cold -55 degrees- he remotely set temp up but fan ran and no change in temp by next morning. He got local manager to bring over three heaters and got repair guy out. Easy fix as gas wasn’t turned on. Nice and toasty after that. Jordan checked in to make sure all was ok. The house is huge with lots of room to either be together or in small groups or alone! I was so excited to have my family of 18 all sit at one table together for Thanksgiving! The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfy. The rec room with arcade games, bubble hockey, and more was great for all the kids ages 8 to 46!! sledding down the hill was a hit as was the snowball fight. Perfect house for a large group! Many happy memories were made here!

Best Family Vacation

My family and I had the best time. The house was perfect for a big group with kids. There was plenty of space for everybody. We rented a pontoon and went tubing everyday and also enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. It was like we had the lake to ourselves. The owner and property manager were super helpful and communicative. We had no complaints and would love to come back!

Family reunion

We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was perfect for our family of 16. Lots of activities for everyone to do. Owner was great. We brought our pontoon boat which made up for the lack of any swimming beach. I didn’t realize that fact from the listing pictures and description so consequently there was no place for the littlest kids to swim. Water around the dock was tough on the feet. There were lots of water activities with the kayaks, SUP, and paddle boat and the fishing was fabulous. If having a small swimming beach isn’t important to you then this is a great house.

About the host

Hosted by Jordan Schuetzle

We love this home and want others to share in the fun of bringing your family and friends together when we can't use it. My wife and I enjoy hosting and want to help you have the best vacation.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Brainerd and Nisswa having visited here many times growing up. There is so much to do you'll never be able to do it all in one trip. When the opportunity came to purchase a home that allowed us to spend longer periods of time up here we jumped!

What makes this property unique

This house is incredibly peaceful and has amazing views. The lake is big enough for recreation, is stocked with plenty of fish, and will only ever have 5 homes on it, the rest being state forest. It is a peaceful retreat only minutes from all of the action and excitement of the Brainerd lakes area.
