We had a great time. The property is definitely older, which the pictures accurately represent. It had a "stay at your grandparents lake house while they're away" vibe. Definitely not all the latest modern amenities, but everything was perfectly adequate. Spacious and comfortable living room made our group of 3 adults and 3 kids right at home. It could use some TLC here and there so if you want a place that's modern and perfect, this isn't for you. If you don't mind a few imperfections however, it's great. Great support from the management company while we were there.

We stayed here with friends for a wedding. A perfect home for a relaxing stay by the lake. Communication and check in were seamless.

Our entire family rented this cabin and the sister cabin as we needed the extra space (10 adults, 7 kids). We were glad we did as we mentioned several times it would have been uncomfortable to share the yard and dock with another group. The pictures listed are accurate - the house is in need of a major update but we were aware of that and old furniture doesn’t bother us. The living room was a good size and we utilized the screened in porch every night. While the kitchen is small the dining room has a large table which we actually used as a serving table and ate outside most of the time. The porch that wraps around the back was ideal viewing to watch the kids swimming in the lake. There were some weeds at the end of the dock (to be expected) but it didn’t seem to bother them one bit and the area closer to the shore was clean and shallow. We were able to dock our boat and a jet ski for fun on the lake, evening fishing was successful. It took a little bit of effort to get the grill working but once it lit there were no issues. It was clean and ready to use with extra propane available. The fire pit was also used and a nice area to sit and play bean bags. There seemed to be air conditioning on the main floor but not upstairs - there were a few fans available but we did borrow one from the sister cabin to put upstairs and that helped too. WiFi is available and works well. The stove is very old but worked just fine. There is a very random assortment of cookware available - a few more serving bowls and storage containers would be useful. Some of the pots/pans were dirty and had to be washed prior. I would recommend bringing some ziploc bags and aluminum foil. There was an extra roll of toilet paper in each bathroom but depending on your length of stay you might want to bring extra as well as paper towels. Plenty of bath towels and washcloths available. One other thing to mention is that the house was clean in the surface - bathrooms wiped down, carpets vacuumed etc…but the entire house could use a deep spring cleaning. Several cobwebs and dust/dirt noted in the windowsills, crumbs left from previous tenants underneath couch cushions (we had gone looking for a remote) and an old paper plate and card found under the couch (when looking for a toy). Again, surface cleaning was adequate but a deep clean would be nice. The location was excellent - just 15 minutes to nearly every attraction! Quiet property and ultimately a great family trip.

Overall- we had a great visit. The view was lovely. There’s a lot of space. We missed the note about sharing the dock with the boat house guests. It worked out but it did feel a little less private. The cabin could use some updates and very small amenities that would have help corral our toddlers. Overall fun vacation.

We really enjoyed this property, beautiful view of the lake, very spacious but yet cozy. It is very dated but that is definitely part of its character. My adult children enjoyed the boating, fishing and jet skiing. Very private but also close to town. Caretaker was extremely helpful and accommodating. We would definitely rent again.

house was nice once air got going and screen porch was aired out. access code was incorrect but called manager and she gave us correct one. carpet had a bunch of stains, but otherwise was clean. caught some small fish off dock. Nice stay overall!

Oven unusable as so much grease afraid it would start fire. Bedroom lamps shade fell off. Bedrooms were clean but the rest pretty beat up. Had to go buy grill pads as grill super dirty. I can do old and clean for the price but not old and beat up. Asked all year if things were addressed and never got a single answer until last of unreturnable deposit was made. Love the location though.

Our Brady Bunch family stayed the long weekend here and loved it. Although it is dated, it was very clean and a perfect location to take the boat out fishing. Beautiful view and right on the lake. We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend here.

We enjoyed staying here. It was in a great location and on a beautiful lake. The home was perfect for our family of 5 plus my parents. Unfortunately we didn’t catch any fish (ice fishing) but it was very cold. We know by the photos that the house would be dated but don’t mind older cabins. We do however mind when things don’t work well. The toilet seat lid in the bathroom continued to fall down on us while going to the bathroom. I am 5’10” and I ran into the light fixture hanging from the ceiling probably 15 times in the second bedroom and not just in the dark. It’s very low. The upstairs was in the lower 60s for temperatures and that’s where our kids slept. No heat up there so they were cold but did use the extra provided blankets. The storm door in the front doesn’t open and shut easily at all and gets stuck. We were disappointed that with temperatures below zero that the fireplace is not in working order. The couch could use some tlc too as the cushions don’t fit the couch well and we were constantly falling between the cracks. DVD player did not appear to work. It would have been nice to have a washer and dryer however we didn’t expect one (bc it wasn’t on the listing)so brought plenty of clothes. Yes, lots of things to note for improvement however we would still stay here again. The living room area was big and great for spending quite a bit of time in there. It was cold outside so we were inside doing puzzles and hanging out a lot. It would be nice to be able to use the three season porch because it looked so nice however it’s not heated. Summer would be great here! On the day we left it was -20 outside and our van didn’t start. I called the management person and she was very friendly and gave us extra time so we could wait for our van to get jumped. Overall- we do recommend this place and think some of the concerns mentioned could easily be fixed or replaced.

Comfortable

It was a great property to relax at

I think there were pets in the home before our arrival and it was not cleaned as well as it should have been. My sister & I had a reaction in the house by day two with wheezing & coughing as our asthma kicked in. It was uncomfortable for both of us plus we missed a day of work on Monday to recover.

A perfect house for a family of 8 on a calm clean lake! All Amenities were there just bring your food and fun!

Overall our vacation was enjoyable getting together with our son and his family from Texas.

We had an enjoyable long weekend at this cabin. It is a little dated but is spacious, allows a dog and the sunsets on the pier were absolutely worth the trip. Very peaceful part of the lake, even on the weekend, which allows for canoeing and SUP use (great rentals with delivery locally too). Also the fishing was wonderful right from the pier as well. Would definitely rent again. Check in and clean up very easy.

Great place

With two bedrooms upstairs, two downstairs, a view of the lake and plenty of common space, this house is a wonderful spot to spend a weekend or week on the lake in north central Minnesota.

Very nice place overall. Some of the Towels could stand to be replaced. Overall very nice location and setting. The place was just as nice as advertised.

We just got home from a Girls Weekend in mid-March, 2018 and had a wonderful time. This property is perfect for a girls getaway as this is the second time we have rented this cute cabin. Last year, we came in the beginning of January and it was too cold to do anything outside! This year we had much better, spring-like weather and did venture out for a shopping afternoon in Brainerd. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room in the house and all got our own bedrooms, besides sharing the big, king bedroom. This cabin is very comfortable, we love all the tables around and use them for various crafty things that we bring do do. The bedrooms and beds are very comfortable also. We may have to try this cabin again for a summer weekend or maybe even a family summer vacation one of these days! Loved it! Thanks!

Adults and kids all had a great time! The view was gorgeous and we enjoyed using the canoe on the lake. Spent a lot of time on the deck and in the screened porch, plenty of room for our group. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked and we were really happy. Would book this rental again and recommend it to others.

Seven adults, one child, and two happy dogs! We were very pleased with the home. Too nice to be considered a cabin.

Hi, I had an excellent stay at this spacious cabin in Northern Minnesota/Brainerd area. I will definitely be back and bring my 6 person family. My three kids had a great time .... swimming, canoeing, and fishing for sun fish right off the dock. They pulled 40 sunfish out, catch and release while I sat with my wife on the bench on the dock and supervised! The house was clean and very well-kept and the owner extremely friendly whenever we had any questions .... She is a really good resource and knew a lot about the area... The lake is connected to the Mississippi river and we brought our own boat and went water-skiing and tubing all over the lake. The views are amazing and the river extremely beautiful with herons and cranes for miles. We plan to come back every summer with our grandma and spend time with the family! Five star in my book! A lot of cabin character! Thanks for a great vacation!

What a fantastic place. I wasn't sure how to propose to my fiancé and had a very difficult time deciding where to do it. It wasn't until I found this amazing place and decided this was the perfect place to propose . It was mesmerizing. It was peaceful, quite with an amazing view. I decided I could never find a better place, so I bought a nice bottle of wine and took it out on the dock at the time of the sunset and I proposed to my girlfriend and she said YES! This place is forever in our lives as an incredible memory and we will return for years to come. It is such a worthwhile place to be and we highly recommend it.

Lovely home with lots of charm and character! We had a fun Mother's Day weekend with plenty of room for the nine of us that went. Thank you so much!

Nice location (off of a quiet road but still close to town), spacious house, comfortable beds. Beautiful view of the lake. We couldn't find a guest book with any information, such as the Wi-Fi code. Some appliances and furniture are outdated, but still functional. Kitchen light didn't work. 3 season porch was closed off since it's winter, but I'm sure it is very nice to have in the summer.

We arrived for a girls' weekend to find a comfortable 1950's style that we loved. The lake is beautiful. The place was generally very clean but there were a few issues. On opening the oven to cook dinner our first night we found a pan full of old grease. The oven itself needed scraping out before we could use it. One of the beds had a sheet with a big rip - leading us to wonder if it had been changed from a previous use. The weather was cold at night and the heat did not work. The house was 62 degrees or less during our stay. Evolve was very responsive to our complaints so we are happy about that.

The perfect place for relaxation! The house was beyond our expectations. The view and sunsets were fabulous. It is a gorgeous lake property. We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin and plan to come back next year!
