My wife and I have been hosting our kids their spouses and grandchildren for an "up north" cabin vacation for the past dozen or so years at a small family run resort. We were a little nervous going the Vrbo route but the Shingobee Retreat couldn't have been a more perfect place for us. Some highlights: - Location: Perfect location just minutes to Walker by car or boat. Minutes from the golf course, walking distance to the marina/resturant, in a calm bay and great access to all the Leech Lake water -Shingobee Retreat: The house is gorgeous inside. Big comfy sitting area by the bay window became our cuddle spot with the grandkids. The bedrooms were very spacious with very comfortable beds. Having a main living space with the downstairs area gave us not only practical space but some downtime private space for folks as well. We learned that 9 or 10 of us in one level 3 bedroom cabin can lead to a few frayed nerves at times. Shingobee really did provide us with a "retreat". The deck has a spectacular lake view and the ground floor patio has a very cool vibe sitting so close to the lake and reeds-perfect fire pit location. Oh...and let's not forget about the private dock! Frankly...these guys thought of everything. Host: Kelli is really on top of things. Great response fantastic information in the booklet..kudos! She and her husband are really nice people. Almost like talking to the next door neighbors. The whole crew can't wait to re-book for next year!

Fantastic and spacious home that accommodates multiple families! Very clean and well maintained. Kelli us an amazing host! We will definitely be back!

This house was everything we needed. Beautiful, Spacious rooms. Water front property with a boat dock. 2 kayaks and a paddle boat. Short drive to Walker stores and shopping. The only thing besides food and drinks we needed to bring were our beach towels.

Good location and clean property. Worked great for family getaway

Awesome house, great location, great communication with Kelli and Jason. Good time had by all. Next time to Leech lake I would definitely come back to this place.

Had everything we wanted.

Great communication, very nice house, very roomy and comfortable. (missed having a dishwasher though for accommodations for 12 people 😉)

The property was in a great location between one end of town to the other. Plenty of room for both families to have our separate spaces and the house was gorgeous inside. It was a great view of the lake with a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Overall a great experience.

Had a great stay very comfortable and excellent location

Great little place close to Walker. Only suggestion would be the main floor living room couch could use replacing. It is small and uncomfortable for more than a 2-3 people max and the only "comfort" seating on the main floor. Other than that, it was wonderful!

Super clean and comfortable. Owners were fantastic.

This is an amazing property to stay at!!! Extremely clean and the lake front with a dock and was perfect for bringing up our own pontoon. All of the amenities are updated and the pictures do not do the property justice! Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay again!

Beautiful area! Property overall is well maintained. The dock is not in great condition but property manager said they plan to replace soon. The house itself doesn’t have a lot of essentials (garbage bags, soap, paper towels, etc.) so plan ahead. Overall was a wonderful place to stay!

This house was perfect size for our group. The kids enjoyed finding turtles, crawfish, and fish in the water. The boat access was very close and easily accessible, being on the bay was great. We would definitely stay again!

We had a great long weekend at Kelli’s property. The space was great and it was so nice to have 3 full bathrooms for all of us. Kelli was responded very quickly with any questions that we had that I really appreciated.

Clean, comfortable beds, with a prime waterfront location on the main road close to downtown Walker. Owners are very friendly and take good care of the property. Dock fits two fishing boats nicely. (Can rent them right out of DT Walker and keep over night). Worked out great for our fishing trip. Bonus, the pub next door (walking distance) serves good food.

Clean, quiet, and easy access to the highway. Would stay again.

Stayed here and road utv trails in the area. Highly recommend.

Awesome place!

A fun weekend ice fishing with friends. The location was perfect for hitting the local lakes, bars, and restaurants. The house was very clean and the process simple. Thanks, Brian

The place was clean and in a great location.
