Great place for our girls weekend!

We had a great time at the 'Crew Haus'! Nicely decorated (loved the rugs) and had a good access for us to kayak the lake with. The cleanliness of the grills was disappointing but it did not stop us from enjoying the place. Thanks for sharing your Haus w/us!

Nice weekend lakes getaway

We enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was a nice rendezvous point between Grand Forks, where or son will be going to college, and the Twin Cities. We were even able to bring our small dog which was a huge plus not having to have someone take care of her for us while we were gone. My son and I enjoyed the double inflatable kayak. The cabin is about a 1/2 hour drive from Brainerd/Baxter where we spent a little time shopping, having lunch at Sage in Laurel, and enjoying a movie at the Baxter theater when skies were looking a little iffy. The cabin is clean, cozy, and the owners are doing a great job at remodeling it. We would definitely recommend the cabin to others.

Perfect Family Getaway

We rented this place for a family birthday/father's day trip and it was perfect. The house is decorated beautifully and full of wonderful amenities. We enjoyed the spacious Lake House and were very comfortable the entire time. It was a great place to relax with family. Kids loved fishing off the dock and all the fun indoor and outdoor toys. The hosts were wonderful and easy to communicate with. We loved the blackstone grill and were happy to see all of the cooking utensils needed for our entire stay. Even the bedding and rugs were top notch. It was a great place. We hope to be back for another getaway!
