Nice place on a quiet lake.

Great week long stay for our family of 5 and a dog. Great quiet lake. At times it felt like we were the only ones around. Large yard for the dog to run around and nice little beach for the kids to play in the sand. Close to cross lake and Nisswa. Fantastic breakfast place right up the road. Had everything we needed.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2025
Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the cabin. it is very private and we are glad that you, at times, felt like you were the only ones around. The lake is typically pretty quiet and a hidden gem for Northern Pike fishing, we have always enjoyed that! We have dogs as well, it is heaven for them. We are so glad that your dog was able to enjoy all of the space for running and exploring. We love that your kids enjoyed the sandy beach. Our grandchildren can't get enough of that when they visit the cabin. We agree, it's a great location and are so glad that you took advantage of that. We hope you come back!

Great little getaway!

Very nice area tucked back with a great deal of privacy and a large yard and deck. The deck and the dock both really need some repairs and the one door to the deck had a broken knob. Overall it was a great stay and we would stay here again.

Cabin on Silver Lake

Our stay was nice. The cabin was clean and comfortable but several things are in need of repair. The door to the deck was taped to stay unlocked and the handle broken, the doors to the master closet were off, the shades were broken in the living room. The biggest issue was the door on the patio being unlocked.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2025
From the owner: "We are glad to hear that you had a nice stay. We have had the doorknob repaired. We are sorry that it was in that condition when you were there. The bifold doors to the master closet must have come off of the top rail. We will have maintenance take a look at that. Thank you for letting us know about the shades. We had removed many of the shades so we could enjoy the beautiful view of the lake and the woods. We have had varied opinions on shades or no shades, as well as some challenges with them being replaced and broken again. Your input is very helpful. We may have to consider some other options for the windows. Thank you for letting us know that your stay was nice and that the cabin was clean and comfortable. We will pass that message on to our cleaners."

Nice Place To Stay - Relaxing Getaway

Stayed at this cabin with my wife, 2 dogs, and newborn. Overall, a good place to stay. The home itself is not extensive in terms of size/indoor space but has everything needed and an excellent outdoor space with multiple chairs, large yard, outdoor heater, firepit, and lake access with small beach and dock. Very peaceful. Five minute drive to access the Paul Bunyon trail in Merrifield (nothing to do in this Merrifield with very limited options but the home is within 15-20 minutes of Nisswa and Brainerd). Would stay here again.
