cute house, great location

It was a beautiful house, great view and great weather. We had a large family group staying and hosted a small birthday party for my grandson. We had issues with the secondary bathroom backing up. Other than that it was a wonderful time and a great space to be in.

Great family getaway!

2 families with 5 kids (12, 9, 4, 3, 2) The one level layout in the house and to the beach, meaning no stairs was wonderful with our 2 and 3 year olds. The variety of lake amenities was fantastic: kayaks, paddle boards, lilly pad, sandy beach (some weeds but normal), yard games, pontoon, etc. Clean place! The communication with owners was fast and helpful. We would love to come back!

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed the lake house. The kids especially loved the bunk room. We comfortably fit 3 adults and 4 kids/teens in the house. The house was clean and decorated so beautifully, and the kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed using the pontoon and paddle boards. Everyone enjoyed the shadey trees over the sand beach. And our favorite part was being able to have our two dogs along to enjoy the stay with us. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful during our week there. Would definitely come again sometime!

Loved it!

Traveling to a college golf tournament in the area, this was an ideal VRBO! My 7 players loved the bunk room with the 4 queen beds and it was great to have all the yard games, s'more fixings, etc. Very clean accomodations! It was also nice to have a fire one of the nights! Thank you-awesome decor and renovations!

Cute place and easy to find!

We had a great time in this very spacious cabin. It way bigger then the photos show. The pontoon was a great addition and the family really enjoyed toodling around the lake. The only down fall was the lake was a little more weedy then we expected but the weather wasn’t that warm so we didn’t swim much anyways. Would rent again!

Perfect little place

Perfect little getaway spot. We had a great time from roasting marshmallows over the fire to going out fishing. Our kiddos loved the toys and games the house supplied. The boat was a huge extra - caught so many fish off one the the coves. The house is so clean and inviting - we were able to relax in the evenings so comfortably. We will definately be back!

Perfect fit

We rented the cabin for a girls weekend and it was the perfect fit for us! The place was gorgeous and all the little things that you don’t think about bringing were there for us. Sara was very good at communicating and answering any questions that I had throughout our stay. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. Only thing that would have made the weekend better was better weather!

Great weekend at the lake!

Everything was exactly as Sara presented it in her description and pictures. The six of us had ample space to gather and to separate ... and really enjoyed the deck, fire pit, and lake. The kitchen was well furnished and the TV/gathering room was perfect to catch the Vikings game ... even if it was just a tie with the Packers :-)

Beautiful but a few little things

We loved the property, the updates and space for kids were great! Most things were in good shape compared to other places we've stayed, but one couch had a broken back support, the smoke detectors kept going off from oven use (even toaster use!), and the lock to get in was tricky. We emailed the owner when we booked, months ago, with a couple questions and we never heard back which was a bit disappointing. Overall, we'd absolutely stay again but might change the timing a bit because this last week was a mayfly hatch and they were awful (nothing to do with the owners or rental, obviously)! Beautiful place.

Family 4th Time!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We rented for the week of July 4th. We had our adult children and their significant others (6 total), 2 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. For amenities, NOTHING was lacking! Jason was phenomenal in explaining the pontoon and back story of the property. Sara is an amazing decorator and excellent communicator. Neighbor Bill is super nice. Beds and pillows were really comfortable and I was worried about that (didn’t need to bring my 5 pillows … haha). Only suggestion if possible would be de-weed the beach area. We had an amazing time and hope to visit again. Thank you!!

Ultimate Family Property

Sara and Jason are amazing hosts and the rental is absolutely perfect! The layout of the home is fantastic…with one side being for kids of all ages and the other side for adults! The center of the home has seating at a table and the island with a clear view to the living room and the family room. Bedrooms and baths tucked quietly on the street side of the home allowing clear lake views from the rest of the home. The kitchen is well stocked with all cooking essentials and more! The pontoon was included during the timeframe we stayed…this was great to take out and take cruises of the lake as well as anchor and float in the water! The communication with Sara and Jason was top notch! Quick replies along with valuable information regarding the pontoon as well as the lake. We booked for next year within the first few days of our stay!! This rental property should be at the top of everyone’s list!!!

Overall good, but some suggestions.

We had a great time at the cabin and will be back, but we do have some feedback and suggestions if you want them. 1. It appears that large obvious surfaces are clean, but less obvious areas could use some attention. See bunk bed corners and headboards as an example. 2. Dressers in the bedrooms would be nice. 3. Being able to sleep two adults in the middle bedroom would be nice. 4. Boardwalk to cross sand between sidewalk and dock (like your neighbors). This would make it easier for elderly to access the pontoon and also help track less sand in the boats and cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Witzke

Host profile image
My husband and I bought this beautiful home in 2017 and did a complete remodel that same year. We live just outside of Perham. We have 2 kiddos, I'm a stay at home mom and my husband is a real estate agent/mortgage broker in Perham. He has lived here all his life.

Why they chose this property

It's located on a private road, the neighborhood is quiet, low key, friendly and a very relaxing environment. The house sits on a level lot with a beautiful sandy beach. We have a fire pit to roast smores and sit and relax overlooking the lake. The lot also has mature trees to provide shade for those who like it. :) The entire house was updated in 2017.

What makes this property unique

Our bunk room is amazing for families and has toys, reading nook, hanging swing chairs for the kiddos. It has 4 queen beds in it so plenty of room for everyone. Also is located right next to our 2nd bathroom and has a big screen tv for entertainment or movie nights. :) Almost all the main rooms in the house have large windows to look out to the beach and lake.
