This is my second time staying here. We like the area and ease of getting around small communities. The stay was relaxing , quiet and cozy!

Good shower. Good water pressure. Newer plumbing fixtures. Lots of morning light in kitchen. Would have appreciated a few more kitchen utensils, pans, small appliances. Exterior yard needs a good clean up. Fairly close to town grocery store- about 5-7 minutes. Recommend local pizza- Pub 35. And Blacksmith Shop - bar and grill.

Property was neatly decorated & clean. Everything available for use was functional. Very peaceful setting for relaxing outdoors. I totally enjoyed my stay at this property. Thank you very much to the host.

To start off when we first pulled in the “front” yard was a mess we didn’t even know we were at the right place. Once we realized we were I went to get the key out of the lock box and there was no key inside. I messaged the host and got zero response. Luckily a back sliding door was open to get inside. When walking inside it did not look like the pictures. The bathroom was dirty. The mirror and sink had soap/toothpaste splattered everywhere. Dirty towel on the floor. Bathroom trash was not emptied. When it came time to cook pots and pans were greasy and horrible options for utensils. The amount of bugs inside was horrible. When outside to have a campfire the mosquitos were horrible. There was a dead mouse under the deck for my dogs to get to. The yard was filled with a bunch of junk in the woods and by there garage just laying everywhere. Very trashy looking. The host never responded to any of my messages the entire trip. Don’t get me wrong it’s a cute cabin but not at all how it was advertised and not taken care of or cleaned.

Cute and close to Big Butternut Lake and not too far from Balsam Lake. Much better than local motels. My 2 year old grandson enjoyed the space

We rented this property because it offered kayak rental, proximity to the twin cities and the allowed pets. The reason for the rating is a few things we encountered during our stay. First, I went to start the grill to cook the steaks we had purchased in Luck, I could not get the valve to turn on the rusty propane tank. After bringing this to the host attention, we were told "we check the tank after every rental, we must have tightened it too much." We had a second option for dinner, so we turned on the oven. The oven was dirty enough that it filled the kitchen with smoke and set off the fire alarm in the living room. We had to open doors and windows to get the smoke out. The air conditioning (a small single window unit) did NOT have the power to cool the space rapidly after letting in all the hot summer air. It was also disappointing that we rented the kayaks and we needed to clean out spider webs and get the dirt off the sides before we could put them in the vehicle to drive them to the lake. It was poorly stocked with only 3 glasses available to use (there are plenty of coffee mugs) and there were no wine glasses. We did leave the corkscrew behind that we purchased so the next people would not have to purchase one. Lastly, I failed to read the list of things provided and assumed there would be a hairdryer available, since every other VRBO we have rented has had one available. Make sure you pack a hairdryer.

My husband and I enjoyed the cabin very much. It was clean, pictures were accurate, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked nicely. The hosts answer quickly if you have a question. And we enjoyed going down to the lake to fish. It was perfect for us. And we loved the decor!!

Very comfortable! Mosquitos! Holy mackerel there were a lot:):):)
