We had a traveling baseball tournament in the area. We booked 3 different VRBOs for the team and families and this was by far the nicest. The master bedroom is huge with a walk-in shower and 8 shower-heads. Perfect for post game clean up. We talked to other teams that went the hotel route and no one was impressed with the options. The cost seems high at first in comparison, but was affordable when divided between 4 families. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the downtime between games. I highly recommend this property if you are in the area!

Family friendly!

The house is beautiful and has everything you need. This was our second time renting the home. Can't beat the location and views.

My siblings and I had a wonderful time reconnecting from our homes in Minnesota, Wisconsin, California, and Washington. Albert Lea is our ancestral home and the Lake Haven was the perfect setting for our gathering.

The pictures really don’t do this house and location justice. This house is beautiful and super spacious… perfect for a family vacation. They are in a great location and have all the toys you need. You can walk to Albert Lea’s downtown area and along the lake, which is beautiful. They have adult and kid kayaks, fishing poles, life jackets, yard games, and a lily pad. Perfect for the kids and adults. Montana was extremely kind and very easy to communicate with. We had a fantastic week and hope to be back.

Beautiful home - more than enough room for our family of 8! Would definitely stay again. Montana was very responsive when we had questions. We suggested a ladder for the dock and he said it was already ordered. Beautiful sunsets - sitting on the deck was so relaxing!

Overall our experience was good and we had a nice time as a family. Admittedly, I should have researched more and known that the area doesn’t have anything as far as boat rentals or fishing charters, so we ended up going about 40 miles south to a lake in Iowa for that. We did fish off the dock and caught a few bass, bluegill and catfish. We also took a day trip to the Mall of America which was fun. The town is cute but not much to do or nicer places to eat, but the house was pretty and large enough for our family, which was nice. I had a bit of trouble communicating with the owner but he did eventually respond (especially when we set the alarm off checking in, lol). The house was pretty clean, too, but the outdoor spaces were so overrun with cobwebs and spiders we couldn’t even use the chairs around the fireplace. :/ Also, I suggest checking the place out before bringing everything (like spices, cooking oils, butter, toilet paper, etc) because a lot got left behind by other renters which was awesome, but could be frustrating if you bought it all in advance only to find out you didn’t need to. Overall it was a nice family trip. Thanks!

Very accommodating. Spacious and bright with a lovely setting and view.
