Perfect Cabin
The cabin was exactly as listed/pictured. The lot location is perfect at the end of the road surrounded by the state park and wildlife with a nice shoreline. Lots of room for parking. The cabin was clean and cute with nice touches, bed/pillows were comfortable, had everything we needed. We were able to have 2 boats at the dock and the lake was great for fishing, even caught some off the dock. Excellent communication with the host. This place checks all the boxes for a perfect stay and will definitely look to stay here again! Highly recommend!

It was a calm spot for me. It’s next to the park so deer visited me, and I spent hours looking at the water. A very cool place.

Great place for a family weekend
Overall this was a great place!! We’ve already recommended it to others. The 4seasons room was a great bonus. The dock and shoreline were plentiful with blue gill and crappie. Our two older kids really enjoyed the loft. Being surrounded by the state park made it so peaceful and felt secluded. If you’ve never been to this area in MN you should definitely consider staying here!!!
***items that should be up front on the vrbo listing and not after payment—>
*Water at property is not clear and not drinkable(although they say it tested safe) no one wants to drink brownish yellow water. If we’d have known we’d have brought bottled water from the city versus buying the overpriced stuff at the dollar general.
**There was additional paperwork that was a little two strict sounding than we’re used to on VRBO especially on number of guests. We had family camping nearby and were wary of having them over due to the wording of the contract. It was very clear that it was a quiet neighborhood yet the neighbors were partying and lighting fireworks after midnight. There were also two dogs that kept coming over. They did not seem to be the friendly sort, raised hair…but when we’d go out or go to the truck they’d run off. Not something I want to risk with kids. We didn’t use this against the rating of the place as the owners do not have control over the neighbors. I understand wanting to deter parties but the wording was pretty stern for our family one five traveling with an extra member.

Deer haven
We really liked the area, to bad there was to much moss.
Very neat to see all the deer coming out of the park.
There was a friendly dog that came to visit.
Was a very good experience, we have not done that before.
Would like to do it again sometime
Thank you

Cozy Cabin
My husband and two daughters (14, 10) rented this cabin for 4 days. The listing was exactly as pictured and the host provided clear and prompt communication. Our daughters loved the loft area and our whole family spent a lot of time in the sunroom. I’d highly recommend this property - we really enjoyed it.
