I was pleased and surprised at how quiet and peaceful this lake was. Even on the weekends we rarely saw boat traffic or heard others. It was such a relaxing experience! The house was very comfortable and spacious. The online listing didn’t do it justice! Our only disappointments were that we were not able to use the hot tub (best to remove that amenity from the listing if you don’t want renters to use it); the dishes in the dishwasher were not clean; and the downstairs toilet was clogged with a wad of paper towel. These were all easily resolved by us so we didn’t contact the owner. We definitely have moved this place to the top of our list for next year!

Loved the lake home! Great 1920's "cottage," decor, and landscaping. Comfortable beds. GORGEOUS kitchen! Lots of room for everyone. The sunroom was our gathering place for meals and cards and other games. The furniture outside offered us an opportunity to watch the sun rise over the lake while enjoying our morning coffee. We had six seniors in our group, so it would have been nice to know that there are 78 steps from the door of the house down to the dock. Although, it did get easier to navigate as the week went on. Also, the toilets are so low for seniors, especially the two of us with new hip replacements, so we brought along a toilet seat extender. Interesting spiral staircase in the middle of the house. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon to a house that had not been cleaned, but we put our "gloves" on, and my niece cleaned both bathrooms and I washed and dried 4 loads of sheets and towels. I think the house needs a good "spring/fall" cleaning, and the housekeeper should be reminded to dust all surfaces. We had a great show by three pileated woodpeckers who were working on a log in the wood pile: my grandnephew said it was such a thrill. It was a lovely two weeks. I have been coming down from Alaska to do these trips with family for the past 15 years and this truly was my favorite "lake home" of all. I feel that there is some interesting history in this home and location. Would love to sit with the owner sometime and hear what stories this house has to tell. Thank You

We enjoyed a great week on Ox Lake. We were able to use all of the water toys provided including the fishing boat, kayaks and paddle boards. The inside fun included the pool table and late night poker with the son-in-laws on the poker table. The house was very comfortable for our family of 9 including a 1 year old toddler. Kent the owner was very helpful and responsive.

Our family group of 8 had a great stay at Ox Lake. Had everything we needed to have fun at the lake for a week. Loved the kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. Would definitely recommend to other families looking for the full Minnesota lake experience.

The cabin had everything we needed. The location and setting was gorgeous. The recreational equipment was perfect for us. It was peaceful and quiet. Sleeping arrangements were good with comfortable beds.

It was a lovely lodge in a beautiful setting and our family had a wonderful time.

Great place for a family vacation!

We were very pleased with the home and its situation on Ox Lake. The amenities were perfect for us, including the selection of watercraft, the pool table, and the Netflix access. We had a small plumbing problem, and within an hour after we called the owner there was a very friendly handyman on scene who took care of the problem. Thank you, Kent Peterson, for providing us with just what we needed in vacation accomodations!
