Annual family vacation rental

This is our third summer renting the cabin. Athene is great to communicate with. Our kids love the beach. State park full of hiking and biking trails is right across the road.

Thank you so much for your great response and rating. There is nothing like coming home, getting on the lake and sitting around a camp fire. Definately the "Up North Experience" at its BEST. It was a pleasure having you stay at our cabin. Thanks again and hopefully we will see you again next summer!

Just what an "up north" cabin experience should be!

The cabin was perfect for our family. Just what an "up north" cabin experience should be! Beach is beautiful - very soft sand and very shallow for those with small children. Loved the deck and fire pit area near the beach. All the necessary amenities were available, fridge was large, nice-clean shower. Our teenage kids had a great time and even put their phones to rest! We hope to return next year for another relaxing vacation!!

Beach was great for grandkids

Wonderful property. For long distance travelers, having to provide bedding is a bit of a hassle.

Hi Ed - Great having you and your family at our cabin. Awesome that you were able to bring your grandchildren. I'm sure they loved the freedom of the property. Nothing like making great memories.... In future, we would be happy to accommodate long distance travelers if requested. Hope to see you again :)

Wonderful beach and relaxing deck

Owner was so helpful in answering all our questions and recommending local restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions. House had everything we needed and we loved the relaxing deck and fires in the fire pit at night.

Best family vacation!

We loved the property and the cabin. The owner was very accommodating and extremely easy to work with. It was probably one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had as a family. My kids loved it and no one wanted to go home. The cabin was very clean and the beach area was as good as being at McCarthy Beach but without all the people. We hope we are able to come back again next year. Thank you!

Thank you for your 5 Stars. You and your family were a pleasure to work with. Family time is so important especially as the kids are growing. There is nothing like Northern MN and the Side Lake experience. Thanks again and we look forward to having you back next year. Best Regards
