Another wonderful visit

We stayed here two years ago and loved it so we came back for a longer stay. A perfect little place on a nice spot on the lake. Comfortable, well equipped, and nice and quiet. The grandkids loved catching sunfish off the dock. Highly recommend this place.

Gorgeous view, quiet neighborhood

The cabin had everything we needed and more. We spent plenty of time in the 3 season porch playing games with a lake view. The kitchen had every pot, pan and utensil we needed. We brought our boat up with us. The kids loved the sandbar just around the bend of weeds to the east and we docked at the public dock daily to get ice cream. The water is pretty low by the dock (maybe 2 ft) and it's mucky, but it's perfect for fishing for sunfish. We would definitely come back, such a great week!

Girls Weekend

This is the perfect place for a girls weekend! We are a group of 6(mostly retired) women. The location was great for shopping. Close to Stillwater, Taylors Falls, St Croix Falls. The cabin is very nicely updated. Nice bathrooms. Kitchen has everything you need. We would stay here again.

Nice place

Overall we had a very good experience at this property. The interior space worked well for our group, especially the large common areas and two bathrooms. We brought our boat and appreciated having a place to dock it. There's a floodlight that stays on all night outside of one of the bedroom windows, so we found the portable blackout curtains that we had brought helpful. Unfortunately, the lake is quite weedy right now, which was a bummer, but obviously not in the owner's control.

A vacation within an hour of the twin cities! Family friendly, comfortable beds and a great porch. The cabin has everything you need, basic spices and a stocked kitchen. We’ll be back.

Relaxing weekend!

This home was a perfect getaway spot for our annual girls weekend. Slept 6 of us very comfortably. 2 bathrooms was great - nice clean, upgraded home. All amenities in the kitchen, nice yard, games, firewood. Close to many towns for shopping trips and enjoy the outdoors. Glad we could bring rain from Wisconsin! LOL. Would highly recommend this location.

Amazingly Accommodating and Welcoming

I stayed here with my bridal party the week of my wedding. Doug was SO kind and accomodating. He knew that we were there for my wedding and installed a long mirror in the house for us to use. I was blown away by his service and my bridal part LOVED the cabin. It was so relaxing and the perfect amount of room for 8 girls. I would love to stay there again!

Great stay!

Photos don’t do it justice - great place! Had lawn games out and ready for us to use. Great deck, dock and outdoor space. Note that the shore is not a sandy bottom - it had lots of brush so wasn’t the best for swimming for our group but loved being right on the water and good for rafts!

Very cute cabin in Forest Lake

We are a group of four women friends who stayed at the property for three nights. We were very happy with our stay. The cabin was attractive and well-appointed with everything we could need. We had forgotten to bring a corkscrew, and after mentioning this to the owner, he promptly bought one over for us. A variety of outdoor games made our stay more fun. The owner even set up the outdoor Jenga for us and explained how to play. There was a canoe available for our use, although we never got around to using it. There are some fun shops and good restaurants a few short minutes drive from the cabin as well as any big box stores one might need. Overall, we couldn’t have been more pleased with the cabin and the friendliness and responsiveness of the owners who bent over backwards to make our stay very enjoyable. We would definitely return!

Wonderful June Stay on the Lake!

EVERYTHING about our stay was wonderful! The house was impeccable and had all the comforts of home. From the well-stocked kitchen to lovely views to the comfy beds, we were able to make meals, rest, relax, have fun, and sleep so well throughout our graduation celebrations and family-time together. Our host was incredibly responsive and kind in working with us in planning our trip and making sure our stay was as good as it could be - and it couldn't have been better. Thank you so very much for a great home away from home!
