Successful Mom’s Weekend
We had an absolute blast at our annual mom’s weekend. We loved the property the minute we walked in and were able to do all of our favorite things: cook, do puzzles (thanks for providing!), have a fire and watch movies on the couch. We will be returning next year!

Enjoyed our 4-day stay
We had a family gathering and enjoyed our 4-day stay! The VRBO definition and pictures of this property are a good representation of how homey and comfortable the home is. There are different areas for reading, games, just hanging out or anything else you may want to do. There is not a place to swim, but we knew this ahead of time and brought a small pool for the kiddos. The adults took advantage of the paddle boards. The host was responsive and answered our questions. There were some very nice touches and surprises left by the host for us to enjoy. Almost anything you could need was there. I would definitely recommend this property. It worked out that it was close to the Twin Cities area where we were all from. Those that couldn't stay the entire time had just a short distance to travel.

House was wonderful!
The pictures were accurate. The house was great! The lake was weedy and green but we made the most of it and went out far enough to have less weeds. The grill was being a little cranky but we were able to get it going for each meal. Shea was very responsive when notified.
