Wedding weekend
We got married this past weekend at the 1910 sip house. The a frame was the perfect place to stay and it offered easy access to our wedding venue, and allowed our kids a place of rest and escape from the busy events.

This is our 2nd year at the A Frame and we’ve already booked for next summer. We just love staying here. The cabin is clean, well stocked with everything you should need, the beds are so comfortable, wifi/tv, AC, tons of great lake toys, a great swimming area, and an awesome fire pit. Melissa is always super great to communicate with and is so kind and accommodating. A+/5 stars/2 thumbs up!

Peaceful Relaxation at its Best!
The A-Frame Lake Home was absolutely amazing. Very well decorated and stocked with more than we could ever need from the linens and kitchen items to the games and comfy beds and furniture. We loved it and of course we wanted to stay. Plenty of parking and the fishing was great! We will definitely be back! Great Hosts. Many Thanks.

Amazing cabin and host!
We loved our stay at this cabin. The description and pictures of this property not do it justice. Perfect amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids, it could probably comfortable fit more. The kids always had something to do, one is 3 and the other is 12. They were never board. The communication with the host was wonderful and very helpful. Will definitely stay there again!

Lovely, quiet, great stay!
My family of 4 stayed at the A Frame for 6 nights and we had a wonderful stay. The property owner, Melissa, communicated with us from start to finish and responded quickly if we had any questions. She was really kind and wanted to make sure our stay was perfect. They left us a couple of gift cards to some local spots which was really cool.
The house is exactly as advertised. So cozy, comfortable, nice and cool, and the beds and linens were comfortable too. The kitchen was well stocked. My 4 year old enjoyed the blocks, toys, and puzzles that were provided. The shed was stocked with floaties, yard games, paddle board, etc which was a really nice bonus. I don’t like coming from out of state and having to constantly buy sand toys, life jackets, and floats so I really appreciated this! The fire pit was awesome and was used by us almost every night. Tons of beach towels were available as well. I think the thing we liked the most was just how quiet it was. No constant noise of yard work/blowers and the lake was filled with jet skis and boats. It was quiet allllll day and we appreciated that so much.
Washer and dryer is a must for us and they have a nice set at this place and they had laundry soap/dryer sheets which was nice that I didn’t have to buy that for a short trip.
The beach was lovely and very sandy. They have canoes and a paddle boat for use and a ton of sand toys (and a small slide) for the littles.
We come to Minnesota every summer to see my family and we always pick a new lake to stay But we were very happy with this place so we’ve already booked for next summer. Fingers crossed it’s just as wonderful next year.

Cute Cabin!
Melissa the host is amazing is to work with! She is very responsive to any questions or concerns you have. The cabin is in a great location and completely stocked with everything you need- games, towels, etc. The cabin is super cute and clean with enough bedrooms and baths to accommodate up to 2 families or more. It has a small sandy beach for swimming or fishing off dock, kayaks, canoe and paddle boat. We had a wonderful time staying here and are already booked for next year!

Still Smiling
This Vacation was among the best family time we have had. Mom and Dad, 2 Sons/Daughters in law 3 Grandkids all love this Vacation Home.
The A Frame was very well equipped and was just as described. Spending most of our time outside in the large beautiful park like yard. The lake landing/ dock was perfect too. The kids could continually catch little sunfish off the dock and adults caught the larger fish every time out on the lake.
We have many relatives living in the Lake Region and they were also very impressed with this property when they came out to visit us.
The local area supports family fun and retailers are the greatest.
We highly recommend this property and have already rebooked for next year.
Don't miss this one.
