This property was perfect! My toddler loved the rock collection, it was super clean! Was looking for something that wasn’t a hotel as I had 3 total small kiddos and this was perfect. Just can’t say enough great things, will book again!

Home away from home

I've been searching for a place that I can call home away from home, as I've family in the area and wanted to be able to host them during our visits. This property is the perfect destination —enough space for everyone to gather comfortably without ever feeling cramped. Even with colder weather, the home was cozy, well-equipped, and options for us to connect and relax together.Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a memorable group getaway, no matter the season!

Amazing winter wonderland trip

We had a wonderful Christmas in Bemidji! Everything was exactly as depicted. Theresa, our host had every detail covered, including surprising us with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree! There wasn’t anything that we could have wanted that wasn’t in the house. We hope to stay again. .

Great Weekend with Friends

The house was very nice for 2 families to stay - bedrooms had an extra bed/futon for kids and extra bathrooms. The fall colors and location are beautiful. The kids enjoyed running in the yard. The access to the lake is a pretty steep drop off.

Cutest Lake Home!

From the moment we pulled in the drive-the cutest lake home! Very spacious yet cozy! Little decorative touches made you feel like coming home to your own cabin! Perfect for our sister weekend! Unfortunately we could not enjoy the provided wood for a fire due to windy Mother Nature! The wind did give us a few scares as it knocked over the garbage cans a couple times. A quick 15min drive into town. We all wished we could have stayed longer!

End of summer- Lake fun

We loved the setting. The lake was so clear and it was fun to paddle board & kayak in late September. The house was stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to have a campfire and wood available. It was also great to have lifejackets available. Fun family memories were made! The only negative comment would be regarding the sheets on the twin bed upstairs since there were long black hairs on them and a stain on one of the comforters. I don't have a dog and could smell dog when I first walked in. With that being said I would still stay here again. It was very nice!

Amazing Experience

The description doesn’t do this property justice. We had 8 people in our group, 4 adults and 4 teen/tweens, and everyone slept comfortably and had ample space to spread out. The home was clean and the amenities were perfect. Our two families spent the days kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake and the mornings & evenings catching fish off the dock. The property has everything you need to enjoy a traditional Northern MN vacation.

No better way to spend a weekend!

The place was amazing. It had everything we needed and more! We were also the envy of many of our friends. Our kids had an absolute blast. This place made it easy for our family to get away and enjoy the weekend. They had something for everyone and with a lager family, that is hard to do. We are already looking at our calandra about when we can go back!

Beautiful lake home checks all the boxes!

Our family of five adults and one seven year old thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The lake home is beautiful and furnished with everything you could need, from kitchenware right down to firewood, split and stacked and ready for a bonfire. The little sandy bottom swimming area is perfect for little kids, and there was fishing off the dock. The property feels very private. During our stay last week, which included one rainy day, there were no mosquitos. The property has easy access to Bemidji if desired. All in all, a stellar Minnesota lake home!
