to make sure our stay was private. this cabin is small but very nice. great view of the lake!

This cabin is located very close to the lake. The view is magnificent from almost every place in the cabin, especially on the main floor. It’s cozy, warm if needed or air conditioned. Fishing is our new hobby, our kids had so much fun catching and releasing fish! We also love hiking and there is plenty places for that. Will come back and use the cabin again!Thanks

Place was perfect for our family. Everything was easy to access.

It was perfect for my sister and me. Lake view was great. We didn’t really use the beach. Good location. Nice furnishings.

My friend and I spent a couple nights at this cabin and it was perfect! The area was peaceful, the lake was great for canoeing and watching lions, and the cabin was exactly as it was described! Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our anniversary/baby moon getaway weekend at your cabin. It was easy to get to and close to town. It was fun to bring our boat with and drive up the Mississippi River. The only downside is that I didn’t read the kitchen descriptions close enough so I brought food to make in the oven. We could have used the grills but we decided to grab food out instead. My husband and I talked about coming back to your cabin. We also recommended it to our family and friends when we got home.

Had a great stay with very nice views of the lake and wildlife. Love the Loons on the lake and the Bald Eagle cruising the lake and then perching in the trees. There is was also a Osprey Eagle that showed up diving into the lake in front of the cabin grabbing fish.

This place was absolutely beautiful!! The views were spectacular and the Loon and Eagle sightings and sounds just made it perfect. The location is great for many daytime adventures and we would suggest this home to anyone! Our dogs loved just looking out the windows and wandering around the yard on their leashes:)

Nice to get away to a beautiful view.

Communication with host was prompt when questioning accommodations. Would recommend this stay to anyone.

The property was nice, and as represented online. We did wish there was an oven in the kitchen as we planned to cook. Additionally, when we arrived, the smoke detector was chirping so we had to go to the store to buy a battery. That took care of the issue until the final night, the smoke alarm went off at 3:00am and there was no smoke or carbon dioxide.

Perfect getaway for two. Loons on the lake and a very picturesque setting will likely have us returning again next year.

It was our first time experiencing, picking up new hobby-fishing! We loved it! Caught few fish, let them go and kept the knowledge :) Place overall was very nice, could have been cleaner- fridge. Grill was filthy. But despite that we had a wonderful time! Planning to come back.

Had a nice stay at this small rental.

We really enjoyed this trip. The cabin at lakeside was the best. Very close to town and secluded at the same time.

We enjoyed paddling and lounging by the lake. FYI the couch was advertised as a pullout, but was not, so sleeping arrangements were not as expected. Overall a good place to be!

My entire family chose this location to vacation (10 adults and 7 small children). We were aware that the sister house to this cabin was rented separately and we needed the space so we rented both locations. We are glad we did - we commented many times that it would have been uncomfortable to have to share the dock and the backyard with another group. This cabin was cleaned well to the eye, but when we had to search for kids clothes under the beds we noticed a few items left behind under there. Not a huge deal but some a deep cleaning might be helpful. Some comments of odor from the water - we didn’t notice anything of the sort and thought the water actually felt soft so no complaints there. There is a wall mounted AC unit upstairs and downstairs plus plenty of extra fans - not central air but kept us plenty cool. An abundance of towels was nice for the lake. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. As stated, no stove but we did use the hot plates to make some pancakes one day and it worked just fine. Nice seating area off the small deck upstairs with nice views. We didn’t end up using the grill but checked it over and looked perfectly clean and ready for use. There is a walkout from the basement level but only a few feet of yard before you get weeds and wouldn’t have access directly to the lake from there - obviously not a problem as we went to the big house to swim but keep in mind if you are renting separate from the big house you will have to go through the yard to get to the lake. Some weeds in the lake toward the end of the dock (as expected with a lake!) but our kids swim all day every day with no trouble and we fished in the evenings which was successful. The steps to get down to the cabin are built into the grass and are made of gravel so either take the grass with your luggage (it’s not steep) or be prepared to carry it. Again, minimal nuisance. Plenty of plates and silverware but if you are going to do a lot of cooking bring some extra Tupperware. Small selection of pots/pans but without a stove, probably don’t need much. This owner uses Evolve to book - I emailed about a couple different things prior to our arrival but was never able to get ahold of anyone until they sent our checkin information with the property manager email address on it. She responded quickly but I was not impressed with Evolve. Excellent location to all Brainerd has to offer, roughly 15 minutes to everywhere. Overall, was a nice place to stay.

We chose this sweet, private cabin for our 40th anniversary getaway. We were so happy with the beautiful view, our canoe trip on the lake and our quick text responses from property manager with our questions.

We had a great experience staying at this cabin! Would recommend for a couple or small group

It was great! Enjoyed canoeing and the cabin was very nice.

Bring your binoculars- see all of the wild life just steps away from the patio or balcony. This quaint, clean, updated rustic guesthome was exactly what we needed. Bring some folding chairs if you want to sit on patio or around the fire. We loved watching the loon that visited each morning and night.

Hope we can go back!

This was a beautiful spot on the lake with a beautiful view from the deck! The cabin was cute and quaint, however it was not overly clean when we arrived. It didn’t appear as the bathroom was fully cleaned. Overall, it did the job for a fun girls weekend though!

Cabin was updated and very cozy and quaint. Loved the view out the windows/deck. The surrounding area is very quiet and relaxing! I missed in the amenities there was no stove/cooktop; however, there are hot plates. I also was unclear of the setting on the lot ... this cabin is a guest house to a main cabin. Parking is in front of the main cabin front door and deck area. So when unpacking/packing you will have to do it with observers if someone is in the main cabin. Also plan to walk down hill on a dirt path for the most direct route to this cabin. Also, the dock is shared with main cabin so plan to trek across the backyard in front of the deck of the main cabin to get to the dock. Property manager, maintenance rep and IT rep very responsive to issues that came up during our stay. Highly recommend this off-the-beaten path cabin for a quick getaway!

Mornings were the best time The loons were calling the lake was beautiful but as the afternoon progressed it got VERY hot because it faces the West and there is no shade. One major problem the grill was FILTHY and unusable. Had some beautiful steaks to cook and I could not make them no stove either. If this is the only way to cook then it should be ready to go. Grease pan was completely full...smelled. Very unhappy that is why this is a 3 star at best.

Beautifully appointed cabin and location. Breeze off the lake was refreshing even on hot days. Love all the giant screened windows that can be opened. Nice modern furniture and kitchen. Very clean. Loved the heat pumps for cooling. Other party staying at larger house on property was very accommodating and respectful. More information about location of water sports equipment, wifi password, front lock functionality, TV on/off would have been helpful but we figured it out.

The cabin was perfect for my wife and me. The cabin was modern and appeared to be recently updated. The proximity to the lake and the views were awesome. The only downside is that there is no stove, but there is a convection oven. We had to Google how to use it :)

Our quick weekend getaway was fun and relaxing here with beautiful views of the lake, even in November, from the wall of windows. We were comfortable and had all that we needed. The manager was quick to respond to our question and apologetially compensated us because the dishwasher hadn't been run.

My husband and I loved the property! The cabin was perfect for our needs and we had a great time!

Great location, stunning views, just needs a little TLC. Our entire trip there was a loud fan (that does not turn off) which was extremely distracting - especially trying to fall asleep. The cabin itself did not meet cleaning standards - dirty dishes, shower not clean, dirt & debris, various scuffs/marks on walls. Also, there was a strong musty/egg odor coming from the sink/shower. I would consider the owners remove their cleaning costs associated with this rental, as we basically has to clean up upon arrival.

The experience was extremely disappointing. The overall condition of the cabin together with the fact that it was not clean made our stay anything but relaxing. The cabin should not be embarrassed to rent it out and its current condition. There were cobwebs and dust bunnies in almost every corner of the cabin. It was clear from the finger marks on the refrigerator doors and food particles inside the refrigerator that it was not cleaned. The ice bin on top of the refrigerator was not clean. There was a layer of dust on every windowsill and low wall; the rug in front of the refrigerator was filthy and there is mold growing in the shower track. The couch was so filthy we looked for one of the air bed sheets to cover it. The air bed sheets intended for our use were rolled in a ball on the floor in the corner of the closet. One of the basement shades does not close completely and another does not go up - at all. The entire cabin needs a coat of paint and most of the furniture needs to be replaced. We immediately set about Clorox wiping every single surface in the cabin. As you may recall COVID-19 is spreading and because of this we mistakenly expected the cabin to be uber clean. The hike from the parking lot to the cabin is described nowhere in your ad. The owner could supply a cart or wagon for the purpose of packing your gear in and out. On top of this, guests are required to do what should be the job of the cleaning crew before leaving the cabin - per their long list of the cleaning they want guests to do before leaving the cabin. Extremely disappointing. Would not recommend this cabin to anyone.
