Perfect spot to gather with family
Our family chose this property due to its proximity to my sister’s house which was just 1.5 miles away from it. We stayed during the week of Thanksgiving. It was pretty chilly outside so we couldn’t really enjoy the lake or back deck, but it would be amazing in the summer. The house was just as described. Sleeping space was a bit tight for 8 adults, but it worked. My sister’s family of 5 ate Thanksgiving dinner here with us, and between the kitchen table and dining room table we were able to seat all 13 of us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook as well. The beds were comfortable, water pressure was great in the showers, and fireplace was wonderful for the chilly nights. Hosts were great to respond quickly to any questions and brought us more blankets when we asked about them. I highly recommend!

Our family vacation was truly amazing. The amenities at the place were as described, and whenever we needed anything, the owners were incredibly helpful and responsive. We were blessed with fantastic weather throughout our stay, which made everything even more enjoyable. The house had a spacious patio that easily accommodated all 25 of us, making it perfect for gathering together and creating wonderful memories.

Beautiful lake home with wonderful and helpful hosts
My adult children and I were looking for a peaceful lake home to have my husband’s celebration of life. This was the perfect location for my family to gather and honor him. The hosts, Ricca and Kip, have been incredibly helpful during our stay. We cannot thank them enough. We hope to stay again for a family reunion.

Picture Perfect
This property is A+ very clean, picture perfect with a great location on the lake. Easy access and boat hook up if bringing your own boat. Breathtaking views from both bedrooms. The yard was super clean, we BBQ'd and it was great! Plenty of lounge chairs, tables for outside eating. We will defiantly be back! The owners of the property live next door and are just the absolute sweetest. They put their heart in soul into making your stay the best possible. They gave us recommendations on restaurants etc. If you stay here you'll love it!

Wonderful Lake House on Cass Lake Waterfront
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this amazing waterfront home. It was exactly what I was hoping for when I booked the vacation and the owners were absolutely wonderful. The home is kept very clean and the backyard is perfectly maintained. If you book this home in the summer, you have to rent a boat to go with it!

Great spot on Cass lake!
Ricca and Kip were very friendly, accommodating, and helpful! Really enjoyed the huge backyard and vast composite deck -- was very easy to gather outdoors with 10+ people. If you're into fishing or boating you will love the full-length composite boardwalk with lights and cleats. The Back Bay cove is the most peaceful part of the lake being a no-wake zone. We caught plenty of pike, catfish, and bluegills right from the boardwalk -- excellent fishing spot. The house, while older and not as modern in amenities, was plenty comfortable, clean, and functional. But really, spend most of your time outside!

We liked the property so much we decided to have an extremely small social-distance friendly wedding. It was great for hosting a small group, and the property hosts were extremely accommodating!

Location! Location! Location!
The location of this home is absolutely perfect! Cass Lake is very busy and this is a quiet and inlet....a no wake zone that is very calm & private. (With that being said if you are looking for crystal clear water of the main lake, this would not be an ideal location as there is lots of seaweed and it’s mucky. We swam anyway and it’s great for kayaking and paddle boarding - you must bring your own). But again - location! The grounds are beautiful. The owners live right next door for any immediate needs. Rent a boat from Skipper Buds (expensive but brand new boats and worth every penny)!

Great location, great owners, checks all the boxes
We arrived to a beautiful evening on peaceful, glassy bay. It was exactly as described. Kip and Ricca were great hosts (and nice people) and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we arrived. This home is on a "no wake" cut off of Cass Lake (all sports) and it was perfect for kayak, canoe and paddle board activities. It was about five minutes for wave runners (we brought our own) to get to open lake, but its an absolutely beautiful 5 minutes with lake and marsh views around Dodge #4 State Park. Super close to launch and marina facilities, if needed. The home was very comfortable for our group of 7 and couches accommodated the nieces and nephews that stayed a night. Awesome deck for entertaining and good boardwalk on the water with docking facility. We caught northern pike, bass, bluegill, sunfish, and a large bowfin from the dock. Not a ton, but enough to keep it fun for the kids (20 somethings). (We threw everything we had at them, and ended up most successful with bobber and a worm...) Note: The owners rent the home next door as well, so larger groups can be accommodated as well. Note2: There is a pontoon dock on site that is in need of repair, but it wasn't an issue for our group of adults.
Overall: Very happy with our stay, with the owners, the property and the lake ALL meeting our expectations.

For spending time outside, on the deck, fishing and boating, this property delivered on our expectations. The waterfront was a wonderful location for our boat and our daughters spent the days laying on the floating pier and fishing. Dodge State Park is literally around the corner by water.
