So peaceful

We went for our daughters 19th birthday. Wanted to give her the best day ever and this place was stunning. Lake is beautiful, weather was amazing. Cabin is beyond what we thought it was going to be. Jake was so wonderful to communicate with. Best part is there were no mosquitos which was so awesome. Bonfire was great. We will for sure be back. Fishing was so fun too. We needed a getaway so bad to just all be together with our busy lives.

Christmas Memories

This home was beautiful, spacious and inviting. A few minor issues with the 18mo finding random blueberries on the floor. (We didn't bring blueberries) Three of my four boys made the trip with your kids. The other one was at the hospital delivering his first baby. My 7th grandchild. Everyone had a great time, opening presents, playing games, eating wonderful food and playing downstairs in the basement with all the fun activities and games that were there. The owner was easily reached and accommodating. Take pictures when you arrive of any damage you see, we forgot and are being charged for a small hole in a wall we didn't cause. No worries, I'll get it paid, not worth the fight. Would stay here again. Would stay here again.

Akeley, MN

First impression: This was a beautiful lake home. It looked like it would serve us well. Pre-arrival communications with the host welcoming. So far so good. But the first problem was the thermostat, which was unmanageable. I contacted the host for instructions; he agreed it's a problem. We never made it work; we instead used the electric fireplace, and no one was particularly comfortable. Kitchen: There were NO DISHES! Heavy crockery plates, too few of them for the 17 guests that the listing promises to accommodate, and NO drinking glasses. Okay for wine glasses, okay for rocks glasses, but for water? juice? We had to go to the store to buy paper plates, drinking cups, and eating utensils. Cleanliness: This home needs a serious deep clean. Dead mice in the basement mousetraps, and mouse droppings on the floors next to which extra linens were stored. We removed couch cushions looking for a missing hat, and found crumbs, tissues, napkins, food scraps on the couch platform that had clearly been there for a very long time. Beds: We were a party of far fewer than the 17 potential guests that the home promised to accommodate, but four of those beds were in a bunk situation in the master bedroom; an odd configuration for a master, and not a particularly private room. We had a nice time, but not excellent, and not up to the standards that the listing promised, and that we expected. Very nice host; nice house, but not A+.

This Place Has It All and More

This property is settled in a quiet, wooded neighborhood with the lake just beyond the trees. The house is beautiful with the wooded, cabin feel. Each bedroom is roomy, the beds were comfortable, and two of the five bedrooms had a private bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with what you need to fix whatever you bring. The dining table fit our family. The entertainment available between board games, bar games, and movies was fun! We enjoyed sitting around the campfire, bean bags on the lower patio, sitting on the upper deck, and inside the screened in porch. This place has it all and more! We will certainly be returning to this house. The owner was quick to respond to my few inquiries prior to arriving.

Awesome Log Cabin

This is a very nice, large, spacious and clean log cabin on a great lake. There was plenty of room for our family. There were lots of things to do in the cabin on rainy days. The lake is very clear and quiet. Perfect for fishing and water sports. Jake (owner) was very attentive to all of our questions/requests. Our family loved our special family time at this great property!

Large cabin for groups

Overall, our group of friends enjoyed our stay. It's a neat cabin with traditional big log construction, a nice porch and plenty of beds to accommodate 10-12 comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked. It is nestled in the trees which is cozy but the view of and access to the lake is somewhat limiting. The host was easy to contact and very responsive.

We enjoyed our stay

The property was clean and comfortable. Lots to do in the downstairs play area with pool table, games, darts. We rented the pontoon and it was large and easy to drive. The path to the lake is very steep. A few of us had a hard time getting down to the lake. But the property was very nice with a firepit and nice area around the fire. There could be some updates done to the property but all-in-all we had a good vacation.
