The home worked out great for us. So close to SJU and saved us from having to go into St Cloud. There were lots of changes to our plan with rain and game delay but still had a great time. Such a beautiful view when it is sunny

The cabin was very nice. It had plenty of room and was very comfortable. It was well equipped, had everything we needed and the the location was great. My grandchildren loved catching fish off the dock. Shopping, dining and entertainment is close by in St. Cloud.

A very nice home that met our needs well. I was only disappointed by two things; the description of the bedrooms said the office had a queen bed. I was anticipating a traditional bed with mattress, not a fold out couch, but it worked OK. The house also seemed to have a little bit of a smoky smell.

Hello thank you for the great rating. Sorry about the confusion about the den bed. Our listing does have a photo of the couch in the den and the description states it pulls out. Glad it was still comfy and still worked :) Thanks for being a great guest!

Lovely house with a gorgeous winter view of the lake! We enjoyed watching the ducks in the afternoon. Was here for a quick stop to visit family nearby, and this was a very easy stay—auper appreciated some extra flexibility on check-in time and booking.

The property was just as described. It was a great location for a family vacation near the bike trails and on a perfect lake for kayaking. We highly recommend this vacation property to anyone wanting a quite and enjoyable family vacation.

The property was exactly as advertised. Beautiful lakefront, spacious, exceptionally clean, and well furnished home.We enjoyed the proximity to the Wobegon Trail and shopping in Saint Joseph. Our host left a very detailed and helpful list of suggestions of things to do in the area. We loved the hike to the Stella Maris chapel at SJU-a hidden gem! We enjoyed several meals at the nearby Fisher Club as well.

Worth every penny!! I can’t say enough great things about this place! VERY clean! The most stocked VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. Amanda was very accommodating, allowing us an early check in and late check out. Very comfortable beds. We stayed a couple days for a wedding and we were able to have fires, cook great breakfast, and iron all of our clothes. We will ABSOLUTELY stay again!

Fun Family Gathering

Perfect setting for gathering as a family. We completed a 1000 piece family picture puzzle, grilled most nights on the BBQ, swam and enjoyed the paddleboards and biked every day on the Lake Wobegon trail. Drove to experience St. John's university for a hike to the chapel. I have traveled and used VRBOs all over the world and this home was by far the best place to bring family together. Amanda, the host, was always responsive and helpful to all our questions and needs. We all shared how enriched we felt from our stay. So grateful!

Graduation Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at the lovely lake cabin we rented for my son’s graduation. The cabin was charming and comfortable, with several thoughtful renovations already completed and more improvements clearly in progress. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable celebration. The owner was incredibly easy to reach and responsive throughout our stay, which made everything smooth and stress-free. She genuinely welcomed feedback and was open to suggestions—especially appreciated since my mom, who owns a rental home herself and has strong opinions, had a few ideas to share. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d gladly return.

HIGHLY recommend!

Our experience here was excellent! The location was tranquil, the home was spacious and well-kept, and the lake provided amazing views and fun! Our family of five (including two young adults and one teenager) sincerely appreciated the space and relaxation that this home provided. We were in town for a long weekend for a family wedding, and I was dreading renting a couple of hotel rooms. Staying in hotels works well for overnights, but when you need a place for the entire family for several days, hotels are far from ideal. This home allowed us each to have our own space (my husband and eldest son were even able to work remotely part of the time), and the lake activities were truly enjoyable. I'm extremely grateful to have found this home so close to the wedding venue! The next time we're visiting family in MN, I will check this VRBO first and cross my fingers that it's available!
