We had a great time at the cabin. Joe was a great host. Little things like help yourself to the garden, s’mores and coffee . A nice personal touch to our stay. Grandkids love the dock area and the lake was super clear. No dog days on Clearwater lake. We will be back!

Peaceful summer retreat

My family of 5 plus the dog enjoyed this property immensely. Beautiful lake, clean and bright home with good fishing, evening bon fire, pontoon ride for an extra treat and floating relaxation. The hosts made it easy to enjoy and check out for a few days. We had a bright moon, great weather and extra helpings of nature. Thanks Melsha family for sharing your slice of heaven.

Cute Cabin

The cabin was cute and accommodating. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and taking in the lake view and wildlife in the quiet atmosphere. Plenty of extras including pillows and blankets. WiFi worked great and lots of television channels. Hot water and good pressure. Stacked washer/dryer combo in the basement worked fine for us. I appreciated that the kitchen cabinets were labeled to easily find what we needed too. Owner was very responsive and hospitable.

Fun MN Cabin

Joe has a nice little cabin with all the fun stuff you need for the family - water trampoline, Maui Mat, bags, ladder golf, bikes and board games. His lakeshore is nice and shallow for the kids to play in for hours. There are little sunnies off the dock and we had good luck fishing every morning. The welcome note and smores and popcorn was a nice touch. It was a great family getaway!

This is a poorly maintained property that also needs a professional deep cleaning. The furniture is well past its prime (living room furniture was deplorable and needs replacing; the bunk bed is not stable; the lower mattress in the bunkbed room sinks in the middle making it uncomfortable for two people.) The linens did not seem fresh and the towels were threadbare with strings. There is no outlet or fan in the bathroom. The electronic keypad didn't seem to work and the door was wide open when we arrived. The wood deck around the house and the steps to the water have plenty of soft spots. There were so many of the owner's personal effects present (food, clothing, and hygiene items), it felt like the owner lives there and just left for the weekend.

Please ignore her comments. Not sure where this is coming from. Here’s the texts she sent… Hi Joe, we just left. Had a great time. Nice place! Couple things….we left the garbage in the red shed….we could hear a skunk or raccoon rustling around and didn’t want to leave a mess../.sorry. the towels in baskets are all clean…the laundry has soap in it and is ready to start (didn’t want to have it running after we left. Not sure what one of the kids did with his cereal bowl just now…. There was a corked bottle of wine in the basement…:I put it to the left of your tall black fridge on the floor…I didn’t want my kids sampling it. Have a great rest of the summer! Thanks Joe. Kids caught a lot of fish! Pontoon was enjoyable.

Not worth the price

The positives are the lake is nice. Unfortunately it was not worth it. Over $2k for less than a week. (My bf and I came to visit my family) When we entered the property it smelled like gas so we had to open all the doors and windows which lead to many mosquitoes off the bat. We considered renting the boat which was offered at $450 a day plus $100 cleaning fee and $750 deposit. I live on a lake myself and have a boat- that’s absurd pricing for Annandale, MN (the marinas pricing was $190 a day and $500 deposit- save your money) The host showed up the Saturday afternoon around 12pm and didn’t leave until 8 pm. He sat outside gardening while my friends and I were outside trying to talk but felt uncomfortable with him being there. We ended up leaving early and days later he sent unnecessary text messages. I would not recommend, the overall experience was not worth it. There isn’t even a dishwasher and despite the cleaning fee- they leave a note encouraging you to wash the dishes and wash towels / bed sheets. No thank you- not to mention they entered the property with more towels (we didn’t ask for more) so I’m certain they don’t actually rely on guests to do these chores and I would hope so. Most hosts hire cleaners, hence the cleaning fee and rightfully so … I would not feel comfortable staying in a home where a professional cleaner didn’t tidy up the place.

One of the worst group of renters I’ve ever had. Disrespectful of the property, cabin smelled like marajuana, left all their dirty dishes., etc. Young couple and their friends with apparently some sense of entitlement. Left a stack of dirty dishes and said there wasn’t a dishwasher so that’s not on them. Hmm, but there was a sink and all the necessities for cleaning dishes. Dog hair all over the place. Left the lights on upon their departure. I choose not to respond to most of their direct comments. Please look at all the other reviews. I told Emily I was not pleased with how they left the place and then gave her stay a bad review which is very warranted. Let’s not reinforce snowflake behavior. The dishwasher comment should say it all. Ok…one response. There are screens (new windows in 2021) on all windows. How did airing it out get misquotes in the cabin? I have been enlightened on reviewing the renters and ensuring they understand the expectations. And I appreciate the fiction. the they added after my comment and maybe took slightly out of context. Especially the 12 to 8 comment. She failed to mention that we were on the pontoon no where near the cabin for those hours. I respect people’s privacy and explicitly noted before my arrival that I was going to drop off more towels and grab the pontoon. Uncomfortable might equal paranoid in this case.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this cute lake home! Loved the water trampoline to just hang out on. Joe was responsive to texts leading up to and after our stay, and the place had everything we needed. We would stay here again!
