My husband and I decided last minute to come up to Brainerd for few day getaway. The location on the lake is beautiful. We brought our SUPs and paddled every day, and did some mountain biking nearby in Cuyuna State Park. Property was perfect for our needs, property manager super responsive, we'd definitely come back here again.

The cabin was remodeled and cute. Grill was so dirty a fire broke out in the bottom tray because of all the debris. We wanted to switch it out but there was no replacement tray. Landscaping outdoor solar lights outside were all pulled up and all over the place. One was smashed up and I cut my foot on it!! Screen door tracks are so dirty that it's impossible to open and close them and they fall off. We counted 27 woodpecker holds outside the cabin and the woodpecker non-stop pecks at the cabin ALL DAY. Wi Fi cuts out every ten minutes. It's too bad that whoever maintains this property does not do a better job as it has a lot of potential.
4.5
The house was a quaint, clean, and quiet place to stay. We very much enjoyed spending time on the dock and on the small balcony outside the sitting area.
Owner could spend a little more TLC on the outside spaces, but it really didn't make our stay unpleasant in any way.
4.5
Overall nice, quaint place. Quiet, peaceful location. Beds/mattresses need to be updated. Would benefit from more comfortable seating (ie larger couch) in the main area. Had a wonderful, delicious meal from local establishment (Dunmire’s), highly recommend it.

Had my family of 5 stay at this propert during Minnesota MEA break. It was such a great find. The property is right on the water and we had some amazing sunsets and sunrises. Property had everything we needed. There is no stove but we read that in description and brought a skillet and pre made food. It worked out well. Awesome location and pretty close to a lot of Brainerd activities. Also being able to use the canoe was fantastic. No one was staying at the bigger property next door so we had the whole place to ourselves. Will definitely go back in the future.

Beautiful property, right on the water. Excellent views and very comfortable.

Nice little cabin, location was secluded enough for privacy but close enough to grab supplies. We were fortunate that the large sister property wasn’t rented same time as our stay so we had the property to ourselves.
Had some minor issues while at the cabin but property manger responded quickly.
Over all- great stay at the location! Beautiful relaxing place.
4.5
Very nice cabin with a great view and good fishing. WiFi was pretty sketchy but that was no big deal. Would rather fish and watch nature than look at emails.
4.5
This cabin is located very close to the lake. The view is magnificent from almost every place in the cabin, especially on the main floor.
It’s cozy, warm if needed or air conditioned.
Fishing is our new hobby, our kids had so much fun catching and releasing fish! We also love hiking and there is plenty places for that.
Will come back and use the cabin again!Thanks

It was perfect for my sister and me. Lake view was great. We didn’t really use the beach. Good location. Nice furnishings.

My friend and I spent a couple nights at this cabin and it was perfect! The area was peaceful, the lake was great for canoeing and watching lions, and the cabin was exactly as it was described! Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our anniversary/baby moon getaway weekend at your cabin. It was easy to get to and close to town. It was fun to bring our boat with and drive up the Mississippi River. The only downside is that I didn’t read the kitchen descriptions close enough so I brought food to make in the oven. We could have used the grills but we decided to grab food out instead. My husband and I talked about coming back to your cabin. We also recommended it to our family and friends when we got home.

Had a great stay with very nice views of the lake and wildlife. Love the Loons on the lake and the Bald Eagle cruising the lake and then perching in the trees. There is was also a Osprey Eagle that showed up diving into the lake in front of the cabin grabbing fish.
4.5
This place was absolutely beautiful!! The views were spectacular and the Loon and Eagle sightings and sounds just made it perfect. The location is great for many daytime adventures and we would suggest this home to anyone! Our dogs loved just looking out the windows and wandering around the yard on their leashes:)

Nice to get away to a beautiful view.

Communication with host was prompt when questioning accommodations. Would recommend this stay to anyone.

The property was nice, and as represented online. We did wish there was an oven in the kitchen as we planned to cook. Additionally, when we arrived, the smoke detector was chirping so we had to go to the store to buy a battery. That took care of the issue until the final night, the smoke alarm went off at 3:00am and there was no smoke or carbon dioxide.
4.5
Perfect getaway for two. Loons on the lake and a very picturesque setting will likely have us returning again next year.

It was our first time experiencing, picking up new hobby-fishing! We loved it! Caught few fish, let them go and kept the knowledge :)
Place overall was very nice, could have been cleaner- fridge. Grill was filthy. But despite that we had a wonderful time!
Planning to come back.

We really enjoyed this trip. The cabin at lakeside was the best. Very close to town and secluded at the same time.
4.5
We enjoyed paddling and lounging by the lake. FYI the couch was advertised as a pullout, but was not, so sleeping arrangements were not as expected. Overall a good place to be!

My entire family chose this location to vacation (10 adults and 7 small children). We were aware that the sister house to this cabin was rented separately and we needed the space so we rented both locations. We are glad we did - we commented many times that it would have been uncomfortable to have to share the dock and the backyard with another group. This cabin was cleaned well to the eye, but when we had to search for kids clothes under the beds we noticed a few items left behind under there. Not a huge deal but some a deep cleaning might be helpful. Some comments of odor from the water - we didn’t notice anything of the sort and thought the water actually felt soft so no complaints there. There is a wall mounted AC unit upstairs and downstairs plus plenty of extra fans - not central air but kept us plenty cool. An abundance of towels was nice for the lake. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. As stated, no stove but we did use the hot plates to make some pancakes one day and it worked just fine. Nice seating area off the small deck upstairs with nice views. We didn’t end up using the grill but checked it over and looked perfectly clean and ready for use. There is a walkout from the basement level but only a few feet of yard before you get weeds and wouldn’t have access directly to the lake from there - obviously not a problem as we went to the big house to swim but keep in mind if you are renting separate from the big house you will have to go through the yard to get to the lake. Some weeds in the lake toward the end of the dock (as expected with a lake!) but our kids swim all day every day with no trouble and we fished in the evenings which was successful. The steps to get down to the cabin are built into the grass and are made of gravel so either take the grass with your luggage (it’s not steep) or be prepared to carry it. Again, minimal nuisance. Plenty of plates and silverware but if you are going to do a lot of cooking bring some extra Tupperware. Small selection of pots/pans but without a stove, probably don’t need much. This owner uses Evolve to book - I emailed about a couple different things prior to our arrival but was never able to get ahold of anyone until they sent our checkin information with the property manager email address on it. She responded quickly but I was not impressed with Evolve. Excellent location to all Brainerd has to offer, roughly 15 minutes to everywhere. Overall, was a nice place to stay.

We chose this sweet, private cabin for our 40th anniversary getaway. We were so happy with the beautiful view, our canoe trip on the lake and our quick text responses from property manager with our questions.

Great long weekend!
It was great! Enjoyed canoeing and the cabin was very nice.

Bring your binoculars- see all of the wild life just steps away from the patio or balcony. This quaint, clean, updated rustic guesthome was exactly what we needed. Bring some folding chairs if you want to sit on patio or around the fire. We loved watching the loon that visited each morning and night.

Hope we can go back!

This was a beautiful spot on the lake with a beautiful view from the deck! The cabin was cute and quaint, however it was not overly clean when we arrived. It didn’t appear as the bathroom was fully cleaned. Overall, it did the job for a fun girls weekend though!

Week-long Stay
Cabin was updated and very cozy and quaint. Loved the view out the windows/deck. The surrounding area is very quiet and relaxing! I missed in the amenities there was no stove/cooktop; however, there are hot plates. I also was unclear of the setting on the lot ... this cabin is a guest house to a main cabin. Parking is in front of the main cabin front door and deck area. So when unpacking/packing you will have to do it with observers if someone is in the main cabin. Also plan to walk down hill on a dirt path for the most direct route to this cabin. Also, the dock is shared with main cabin so plan to trek across the backyard in front of the deck of the main cabin to get to the dock. Property manager, maintenance rep and IT rep very responsive to issues that came up during our stay. Highly recommend this off-the-beaten path cabin for a quick getaway!

There were some issues
Mornings were the best time The loons were calling the lake was beautiful but as the afternoon progressed it got VERY hot because it faces the West and there is no shade. One major problem the grill was FILTHY and unusable. Had some beautiful steaks to cook and I could not make them no stove either. If this is the only way to cook then it should be ready to go. Grease pan was completely full...smelled. Very unhappy that is why this is a 3 star at best.
4.5
Well Appointed
Beautifully appointed cabin and location. Breeze off the lake was refreshing even on hot days. Love all the giant screened windows that can be opened. Nice modern furniture and kitchen. Very clean. Loved the heat pumps for cooling. Other party staying at larger house on property was very accommodating and respectful.
More information about location of water sports equipment, wifi password, front lock functionality, TV on/off would have been helpful but we figured it out.
4.5
The cabin was perfect for my wife and me. The cabin was modern and appeared to be recently updated. The proximity to the lake and the views were awesome. The only downside is that there is no stove, but there is a convection oven. We had to Google how to use it :)
