This was our first time staying at this home and it did not disappoint! We absolutely loved all things water - sandy area for beach toys, weed free sandy area to swim, large dock, boat lift to name a few. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for our large family! The owner was very responsive and friendly. We plan to be back!!!

From the moment you walk in, this beautiful property has you feeling right at home. The lake itself is perfect and the house is set up with all the essentials you may need! We so appreciated the lake toys for use and yard games! Kids loved fishing, swimming, and kayaking while the adults enjoyed the yard games and bevies in the lounge chairs! Would 100% recommend!
The host was very communicative and super friendly! Definitely cares about his property - it shows!

The cabin is spacious, well-kept and accommodated our family quite well. We especially liked the enclosed sunroom, great deck, huge kitchen and dining room table and the fish clean room. We enjoyed several water activites- kayaking, fishing off the dock, swimming, boating and the entire lake view. The weed roller was a big plus ! The grandkids loved the sandbox and the lily pad as well.. Thank you for sharing your lake cabin - we had a wonderful time.

This rental worked out so well for our family, we had bedrooms for each of our adult children . We loved the fire table on the deck and used this often and thoroughly enjoyed the tiki bar for evenings of games!

Plenty of room for the family, tons of games both indoors and out available. Just about everything you need in the kitchen is there. The dock and electric winch for the boat lift were amazing. We caught bass, pan fish and northerns. The water is so clear and was amazing to swim in. Enjoy!!

Wonderful location, beautiful views, very comfortable. Would have appreciated better lighting in some of the rooms and TV that wasn't dependent on apps, but overall very nice.

This is a really nice property! The description and photos are accurate. One little issue. There are only place settings for 8.
Fortunately we had paper plates and kids could still use the salad plates for dinner. We had a fabulous time

We loved the space inside and out. Location was wonderful: quiet neighborhood and close to the public boat landing and to the bike trail. Yard was amazing with a great front yard for yard games and plenty of space to park. Backyard has a wonderful big deck, nice dock, great swimming area and a sand beach that the kids loved. The game selection kept us busy the rain day and more.

This place was just what our family was looking for! A great dock, beach, and a weed roller that cleared out the lake for a perfect swimming area. The house was spacious enough for our large family that included grandparents and a bunch of kids. Close to town too for shopping trips and movie night. Loved it!

We loved this property! There was plenty of room to spread out both inside the house and outdoors. The house was fully stocked with pretty much everything we wanted or needed, there was even some leftover condiments in the fridge! It was clean and well kept up.
The kids loved the sandbox/beach area! The lake water was clear and welcoming.
We had good weather so having no AC in the lower level was not a problem for us!

The house was very nice and had everything we needed. The fishing wasn't very good but neither was the weather. We still had a relaxing week and it was good.

This was our second stay at Patricia‘s Lake house. It is spacious and well-equipped to enjoy a wonderful family trip. A highlight was the nightly gorgeous sunsets with the sound of loons flying over. We enjoyed the kayaks provided on the chain of lakes. The kitchen is stocked with everything you might need and there are family games galore to enjoy. Thanks again Patricia for sharing your home!

We planned a last minute getaway for Christmas to be with family. Patricia was very accommodating with our last minute reservation. The house was spotless and it was much appreciated. It was the perfect size for our 6 adults to spread out and have their own space. I would say the pictures online don't do justice to the house as it's much brighter and welcoming in person. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The huge dining room table was perfect for our meals & nightly games. My 19 year old son, husband & brother-in-law did quite a bit of ice fishing and caught several smaller walleyes & as well as a 21" walleye! House was perfect distance from lake!I had my coffee in the sunroom each morning and enjoyed watching the lake wake up. Even saw a coyote checking the lake out.Thank you to Patricia & her family for the perfect location for some much needed family time.

We have been taking family vacations for 13 years now, this home has everything we needed and more. We loved being out on the water, so clean! We also enjoyed sitting on the porch and playing games around the large table!

We had a wonderful time at Pat's place. Plenty of room for everyone. We caught many fish right off the dock. Including a few large mouth bass. The deck and lake were great places to view the sunsets each night.
5.0 / 10.0
We had 4 families including 2 very small children and there was more than enough room for all of us. There are a multiple areas for people to gather, a table large enough for the whole crew and a very well appointed kitchen. The lake was very clean, which can be an issue in Minnesota in August. It looked like it is mostly surrounded by year-round homes, so it wasn't crazy packed with boaters. We were able to rent a pontoon and enjoy time floating and fishing without worrying about dodging other boats.Everyone really enjoyed our stay. I hope we have the opportunity to do it again some day.
