It was very inviting. Tastefully decorated and well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed our time and would like to stay again. We thought maybe next time during the summer months so we can enjoy the outdoors more when warm.

Beautiful Cottage!

This place eas perfect for 3 couples. Plenty of space, yet privacy for all. We loved the layout of the kitchen, dining and deck space. The upstairs TV room was a great space to chill in the evening. Gorgeous views of the lake from the deck and the upstairs! We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to stay again!

Relaxation at Lake Mary Cottage

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at the Lake Mary Cottage. The cottage is beautifully decorated and provided us with a relaxing and restful week of beauty, water, the changing color of fall leaves, and even the Northern Lights. Rocky was fantastic to work with and took care of everything. The evening campfires and gorgeous views, both inside and out, were amazing!

Beautiful sunsets

We enjoyed the location and views very much. The layout with the kitchen and dining in the basement was not the best. I’m sure it would be great for younger families. The relaxing area inside was a little cramped for multiple people to watch a movie on those rainy days. The fishing was great, the views spectacular and we did enjoy our stay.

A wonderful lake home in a fantastic location!

Our family of 6 enjoyed our end-of-summer 4-night vacation in this beautiful lake home. We found the property to be very well-kept and tastefully decorated. The beds and linens were comfortable and the views of the lake were breathtaking to take-in the sunrise and sunset. The homeowners ensured that all of the 'home' touches were available, including towels, kitchen essentials and a stocked Keurig (a morning must for Mom!) - not to be forgotten, was the large flat-screen TV with Roku access (a must for Dad!). The beach front access allowed hours of fun for our children and the dock was perfect for our pontoon. Overall, this was a wonderful vacation home and we look forward to booking again for our next family get-away!

Beautiful clean home. The beach was well groomed. Made memories with the family and the grandbabies. The only thing were the steps to go to the kitchen. I have bad knees and was worried that the grandbabies would fall down them. Otherwise the owner kept us updated and the cabin was stocked. Thank you for the memories. Tammy

An amazing place to fill your soul with joy and great memories. Pretty home, and nice sandy beach and clear shallow water. Great for kids of all ages. Beds were comfortable and large dining table fit us all. Rocky was awesome to work with and very prompt in responding to anything we needed. Well stocked home and kitchen. Gorgeous window views!

Best summer getaway for the girls

This property was amazing. If I could rate it a 10/5 I would. Driving in I was not expecting much but wow I was taken aback. Definitely a hidden gem for sure. The views are stunning inside and out. The décor was nice clean and modern but cozy at the same time. There’s 3 beds but all the couches ARE PULL OUT COUCHES so that’s enough for 6 people to sleep without sharing beds! 2 of the pull out couches were in the sun room. The most stunning room because once you wake up all you see is the lake and it feels like you’re in a beach house and when the sun sets you can see every color of the sky. You need or want something in this cabin?? They got it. Like??? A paddle boat? Hello? The girls and I spent most of the time outside because how can you not? The lake is literally the backyard. Perfect place to tan, grill, paddle board and enjoy a cocktail by the fire while the sun sets. And the neighbors were so sweet for offering us fire wood! The only downside is that there was a lot of bugs that flew into the house or on the patio but that’s normal when you’re not in the city like that. Would I book this place again? Yes. We really started the summer off right with booking this place for a girls trip! It was amazing and we really loved the stay!

2022 Winter Fishing Trip

This was a very neat and clean property. Very sufficient amenities for kitchen and bathrooms, and bedrooms were very spacious. Only constructive criticism was the access from the driveway to the house during our winter stay. During our stay, there was only a narrow path right along the west side of the garage, which was extremely icy, and became tricky in carrying coolers and other bigger items to the house. We do understand this can be challenging with ever-changing weather conditions in Minnesota. Thanks very much.
