About this cottage rental
Endless lakeside memories await year-round with access to a private dock for your watercraft, and during the frozen months, miles of snow mobile trails and ice-fishing. You will be within walking distance of many of Forest Lake's boutique shops, numerous bars and restaurants and located only 30 minutes from downtown Minneapolis or St Paul. We're also close to Taylor's Falls, Stillwater, and the many local wineries and breweries. Our well stocked cozy cottage will be the perfect place to settle in after a full day of activities!

It was great

This cabin was exactly as advertised. My Husband and I Booked this lovely cabin in Forest Lake for 1 month. To be close to family.
In May my husband passed. So, this vacation turned into a funeral.
The cabin was the perfect place to be.
Sonja and Mike are so nice and made this month so special.
I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Although it rained the whole weekend, we enjoyed our cozy stay so much! The hosts were attentive and available right away for questions, both before and during our stay. The kitchen is huge and the shower is great, plus plenty of fluffy towels (it's the little things!). We enjoyed the thoughtful little "extras" Sonja did for us.

The property was clean, convenient and very comfortable. The hostess was very quick to return my texts and check in to make sure we had everything we needed.

What they are advertising does not match this place. There’s no pontoon, no fishing on the dock, and it’s not water front. There’s another structure before this cottage so you have to walk through someone else’s backyard to get to the water, which is littered with dog poop. Didn’t even stay there because of their false advertisement, and they still didn’t give me a refund.

The cottage is a small, simple and pleasant stay. Was clean and smelled wonderfully so. The only suggestion would be the full size beds. I understand a queen would take over but it would be a benefit at least in the larger bedroom. My husband ended up sleeping on the floor our 2nd night. Overall, it was a great stay.

Very dated interior, for a very short stay, it worked.

The property looked as advertised. Easy to check in and out with a late arrival. My husband and I were able to enjoy visiting our family, and who live in Minnesota.

A nice cottage style home on Forest Lake. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We rented this place for our wedding night as most of our guests stayed at nearby hotel. Perfect for a quick getaway from the cities. The lovely hosts left us a special gift for our wedding. Thank you for allowing us to stay here on such a special weekend.

The main issues were:
1) Multiple lack of cleanliness details.. Appeared to not have been cleaned or not cleaned thoroughly after last guests.
2) Had to kill two spiders in the house soon after arriving. Several gaps to exterior noticed.
3) Window air conditioner kept the living room cool- but not the bedrooms.
4) Damages apparent on wall, door and fridge.
5) We had to sleep separately as full-size beds aren't large enough for us.
6) Bathroom outlets are not working.

Nice little cabin off the lake, walking distance to downtown and the city beach. Cabin was very clean and well stocked. Owner was very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had.

The property is in a great location in Forest Lake, anything you need is walkable from the house and you can easily get down to the water right from the backyard! We stayed for the Chisago Lakes Triathlon and it was a quick 10-15min drive over to Paradise Park from the property. Sonja was great and very accommodating, and we will definitely be staying here again for our next little beach town getaway!

Cottage was nice clean and well stocked with everything you need. The area was nice in walking distance of shops restaurant bar park and beach. Nice thing that was a plus is the cottage had a ramp which with my husband who has mobility issues and can't walk long distance help getting his power travel wheelchair inside to charge. Also we travel with foldable shower chair which is hit or miss at some places wheater it fit in the shower it worked out great. The host response to question was fast on response time. The only recommended changes which is very minor would be to clearly mark which dock belongs to the cottage and which outdoor chairs to use at the dock. Another idea would be shower head that can be movable with a hose. But these minor things would not stop us from returning. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.
