Was everything we needed and the listing described the place perfectly. I lost my mom 3 years ago and recently lost my dad. My parents met in Motley and we have family that stills lives in the Motley/Staples area. We were looking for a place to connect with family, share memories and relax. The location was perfect, the home was great for visiting with family and it was especially wonderful being able to bring our dogs. The host was very responsive when I had questions before our stay and reached out to share additional information once we arrived. We will definitely rent again.

Looking for relaxing and quiet? You'll find it here!

Had a great stay at this quiet spot in Minnesota. Quintessential Minnesota "Up-North" Cabin here. House is about 15 feet from the water. Really clean and clear lake that had all kinds of fish. Best part of the spot was seeing the group of loons (sometimes a group of 3, others a group of 6) and listening to them at night while the sun was setting, doesn't get more Minnesotan than that! Didn't have any interactions with any neighbors so it was a relaxing, stress-free time. Kitchen and grill had everything you needed to cook meals. Main living area had all the channels, both bedrooms had comfy beds and AC that worked really well. Life jackets and some kids toys for our 3 little ones were a nice touch since we forgot to bring floaties. Owners were very responsive and helpful they had a great recommendation for an AWESOME restaurant about 10 minutes away called The Landing at Lake Alexander, that I can't recommend enough, too! Clean house, all the accommodations we needed, and the setting was as good as it gets. We'll be back next summer!
