What a beautiful property! Amazing amenities and I think we used them all: Pickle ball, volley ball, fire pit, lake, kayaks, paddle board, in and outdoor tables and chairs, poker table, ping pong and fuseball for the rainy days. Super close to anything in Baxter so don't worry about having everything you need ahead of time, you are so close to ANYTHING! Truly wonderful spot.

Great space for groups

We really loved the uniqueness of this property. Everything was well-maintained and clean. The only downside is that could use another bathroom. We were fine though.

Nice private property on a lake

We really enjoyed our visit at this property. What we enjoyed the most is the privacy. It is buried in the woods away from any other homes. We made extensive use of the fire pit and hot tub. The home is very unique with large, exposed wood beams and a two-story tall stone fireplace in the middle. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all the cookware and utensils you could imagine. We highly recommend a stay here.

Celebrating Family Christmas

We appreciated the holiday decor at the property, especially the Christmas tree. We enjoyed walking on the lake, the fire pit, the hot tub, the game room, yard space for our dog - everything! The kitchen was great for meal prep. The entire property was very welcoming. It was perfect for our mix of ages. We loved our stay.

Beautiful setting and amazingly responsive host

We believe we booked the home during a transition time when they were doing some updating and cleaning. Things like into the season and putting boats and docks away and so forth as well. The host were incredible and easy to reach and better response. The home setting and privacy are spectacular.
