We didn’t want to leave!

Our stay at this magical home felt way too short. Minnesota has become a favorite destination for our family and we cannot wait to make it back to Grey Gables!

Picturesque escape for a girls weekend!!

My friends and I booked this beautiful VRBO for a girls weekend and it was PERFECT! The photos do not even begin to capture how beautiful this property is, inside and out! There was plenty of space for 10 adult women to sleep comfortably, and we really enjoyed the space in the sun and dining rooms to play games and share meals! Thee weather one day was perfect to use the lily pad, paddle board and kayak!! I would rent this house again in a heartbeat! It was truly lovely. Also, access to the Paul Bunyan trail is so close!! A few of us brought our bikes and enjoyed a quick 10 mile loop one morning. I’d highly recommend taking advantage of the proximity!

What dreams are made of…

I fell in love with the pictures and even more so when I saw it in person. The boat house on a rainy summer afternoon was magical. The attention to detail the owner has taken restoring this house property, down to the hidden garden surprises is truly an adventure we had every day just walking around. The path to Nisswa was fun for our family to enjoy together. The lake at the end of the dock is very shallow which was reassuring as a mom with 2 small kids. Close to the exciting Gull lake nearby, but a quiet lake to escape to after a busy day. Every amenity we needed was provided. Some stuff for our 4 and 6 year olds, some great reading material, and… comfy beds! We would love to go back.

Happy and Comfortable

Maja's home is comfortable yet chic and has all of the amenities you need to enjoy your time at the lake! If feels more like a home and less like a rental. We were very happy and settled in from the moment we checked in. Thank you Maja for a wonderful experience on Clark Lake!

About the host

Why they chose this property

Summers at Grey Gables feel like you are stepping back in time. The house was built as a summer cabin in 1904 and is featured in the local history books so it's very fun to read about. There are even signatures of guests on the garage door dating back to the 1920's!
We have updated the house and done our best to preserve the character and style of an old cabin with the decor.

We hope you'll appreciate this peaceful place and treat it gently as it is an antique! We don't allow pets or bachelor/bachelorette type parties out of respect for our neighbors and our home.
