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.
Loved the property! Lake views from both sides of the home. Quiet, relaxing great for families!

Katrina, thank you so much for the great review — I’m glad you enjoyed the lake views and the peaceful, family-friendly feel. Hope to welcome you back to our house next time you’re in the area.
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 .

Thank you for sharing such kind words—so happy to hear paddle boarding, sunrises, and the firepit hit the spot! It means a lot that you’re planning to bring your family back next year, and we can’t wait to host you all again.
Everything was great! Lots of room for everyone, the loft is a nice hangout for the kids! Clean, everything you would ever need while away from home! Nice location, close to the surrounding towns for a night out or more nightcrawlers for fishing!! Communication with host was great also!
Excellent place to stay on a lake. Very clean. Family friendly and Angela is an excellent host. I highly recommend this place for a family getaway.

We had a Bachelor party in the area and this was the perfect place! Close to the golf courses we attended and had a great beach area to cool off after a few rounds of golf. Plenty of room for a large group.

We stayed at this adorable house for a bachelorette weekend. There were 12 girls in total and the house slept everyone comfortably. The house was perfect for what we were looking for and activities inside and outdoors. I would stay here again!

Great to hear the house exceeded your expectations during your stay and you enjoyed the amenities available! We would love to host you again!
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!

That’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the beach and the toys as well as the indoor amenities on the rainy day! Thank you for the note about beach towels as well - great reminder. Hope to host you and your group again for future stays!
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.

We enjoyed hosting you and your family for your recent vacation! Glad to hear you made use of the well stocked kitchen for cooking meals together. Hope to host you again in the future!
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!
Had another great family reunion at the lake! the cabin was clean and wonderful, and a great location with a very lovely yard - and no climb down to the lake, it was just right there!thanks so much Angela and team!
