This place was absolutely perfect for us. Note that the ground floor bathroom has a tub shower if you need a walk in shower for accessibility, but she told us that when asked. I couldn't have asked for a better host. It has all the amenities, great coffee and cream and everything needed to cook meals.

This property was such a perfect fit. The host left a guide to local things that totally paid off for finding a restaurant for my picky eaters. We go to Detroit Lakes annually for an event but having the lake and fire pit was amazing for our downtime. Best thing was no fights from the grandkids over who got to sleep with grandma!

Absolutely wonderful. My daughter and her girls really need a getaway and this fit the bill perfectly. They were able to get the paddle boards out both yesterday and this morning. Beautiful sunrises also. The firepit was perfect for late night relaxation and conversation. Beautiful property. My granddaughters want to bring their boyfriends back next year- and my son and family would join also .

Great house

It was the perfect summer get away for our family. The house was as advertised. The beach and toys were fabulous. We had one rainy day, so we played with all the games inside. One thing to note, is you need to bring your own beach towels. We had a great stay!

Wonderful get away

Our goal was a family vacation/reuinion, so we had 4 families here. We also wanted to cook every meal and play games. I appreciated that the kitchen was functional, not just the bare basics. We were able to relax, enjoy the lake and be together. When i had questions the host was very responsive.

Perfect!

Booked this cabin for a surprise to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. We brought nine people in our party. The teenage girls had a blast with the kayaks. They also said the beds were soooo cozy! Moms loved the delcious coffee and ease of having accessibility of washer and dryer on site. Plenty of outside seating, parking, excellent fishing off the dock. Our weekend went much too fast and so much fun was had. Thank you, Angela!
