Great lake and house -

The positives are the lake is nice. Unfortunately it was not worth it. Over $2k for less than a week. (My bf and I came to visit my family) When we entered the property it smelled like gas so we had to open all the doors and windows which lead to many mosquitoes off the bat. We considered renting the boat which was offered at $450 a day plus $100 cleaning fee and $750 deposit. I live on a lake myself and have a boat- that’s absurd pricing for Annandale, MN (the marinas pricing was $190 a day and $500 deposit- save your money) The host showed up the Saturday afternoon around 12pm and didn’t leave until 8 pm. He sat outside gardening while my friends and I were outside trying to talk but felt uncomfortable with him being there. We ended up leaving early and days later he sent unnecessary text messages. I would not recommend, the overall experience was not worth it. There isn’t even a dishwasher and despite the cleaning fee- they leave a note encouraging you to wash the dishes and wash towels / bed sheets. No thank you- not to mention they entered the property with more towels (we didn’t ask for more) so I’m certain they don’t actually rely on guests to do these chores and I would hope so. Most hosts hire cleaners, hence the cleaning fee and rightfully so … I would not feel comfortable staying in a home where a professional cleaner didn’t tidy up the place.

We enjoyed out time at the property. It was a very relaxing place to stay.

Great place to kick back really enjoyed the stay

Enjoyed a week of relaxation away from the city! Annandale and the surrounding area is a hidden gem!

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this cute lake home! Loved the water trampoline to just hang out on. Joe was responsive to texts leading up to and after our stay, and the place had everything we needed. We would stay here again!
