We were happy to find a dog friendly cabin in a beautiful setting. It was very clean, well stocked and easy to access. We enjoyed the fishing boat, paddle board, kayaks, and games. The canoe was not usable, it’s missing seats. The layout of the house is great. We loved the big covered porch! We used the grill daily. Did not use the basement. Cons: the place is dated. TVs are older, but living room worked fine. Took awhile to get the burners on the stove to light. Mattresses are not comfortable. Loft beds would be tricky for younger kids to access. The water is rusty smelling/tasting. The family that owns the house is right next door about 15ft away. We appreciated the help getting the boat going and met all their dogs as they ran through the yard. It’s not noted in the listing how close the house is, so just mentioning it. Overall we had a good stay and enjoyed the break as summer ended.

Ages 42-73. When at the cabin we spent most of the time on the deck visiting and playing cards. Great deck! Nice huge lot, in the pictures they don’t show any neighbors, which there is a neighbor about 10 feet away, no one was there during our week long stay so we didn’t annoy anyone with our laughter. The swimming raft was tied up to dock, the fishing boat was pulled ashore which we had to pull out to use and pull back onto land which was a tad heavy. Lots of games, had planned on playing badminton but didn’t get around to it. Lots of things near by, hospital, golf, casino, gas stations. Would stay again.

Great place, lots of beds / rooms, super fun swim pontoon. The place is a tad dated, but was still very comfortable.

There's a lot to like about the property. The 6 of us (and 2 dogs) enjoyed dinners on the deck overlooking lake and lighting up fire table afterwards. Eventually, the mosquitos chased us indoors - where there's plenty of room around the dining table for games. The kitchen is large and well-equipped for preparing your own meals. The living room is smaller and includes an older CRT rear-projection TV, but it works just fine and includes access to the the property owner's Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts. The wifi was strong and supported all our devices. The 3 bedrooms on the main floor were convenient. The mattress in our lower bunk was a bit spongy, but it was okay for our short stay. There are tons of activities included with the property. My daughter and son-in-law used the paddle board and one of the two kayaks. My son and I used the fishing boat on Big Pine Lake. My 2 year-old granddaughter loved the tree swing but was too small for the zip line. She also played with the supplied puzzles and toys.There were a few games of cornhole and badminton played over the weekend. We never made use of the pond - there was plenty to do elsewhere. The location is very convenient - just 2 hours from the southwestern Twin Cities. Garrisson is nearby. Aitkin too. The Joint restaurant and bar is minutes away. John and Michelle, the owners, are quick to reply to any questions and were very helpful. Overall, a great VRBO experience.

4 friend and I have been coming here in August for the last several years. The home is very clean and well appointed. The large porch on the lake side is covered so many, many hours are spent out there, We're already checking our calendars for next August.

This was our second visit to this property and just like last year, we love the property, the lakes and all they both offer. We will be back again next year.

VRBO never sent us the necessary information to get into the rental but was more than happy to send me an email for my money at this rental. Host did a great job answering my questions and getting us into the rental. Clearly they are struggling with their cleaning service and are working on it. We had to clean when we got there. No toilet paper due to cleaning service. Overall, the cabin and amenities have potential but over priced for other options in the area.

We enjoyed a few days with our boys and Daughter-in-Laws which we haven't done together in a few years. It was such a special time for us! My husband and I then spent a few days together fishing and relaxing! We enjoyed our stay! Thank you!!
