Great Getaway!
Great cabin with a perfect floor plan for mutliple families or guests. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the outside walls of the house with the center of the home being the common space (living room, kitchen, dining and game room). There was plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to keep the kids and adults entertained. We also rented their pontoon and it worked great. We would stay again!

Great place to stay.
We stayed for a family new years weekend. Everything was great. The only thing was we walked into the house that was 50 degrees. Called and i was told where all the thermostats were. We used both fireplaces to get heat also. Will stay again.

We had a wonderful time at this house. The kids enjoyed the game room and all the water activities. The boat was a hit. I would defiantly come back. I loved that the house is on a smaller lake and lots of room outside for the kids to play.

Awesome stay!
Check in was a breeze. Marjorie is very communicative and friendly. The house is so spacious and the 'extras' such as the table tennis/pool table, board games, bikes, etc was such a big hit with the group. Everything went so smoothly the group is already talking about when we can stay here again! Thanks for a relaxing weekend!! Would recommend this place 100%...

Wonderful property
The house it's self has plenty of room to not feel crammed. Open concept and many bedrooms to fit 20 people comfortably. The house is very well organized and thought out on things you may need. Was pleased with the kitchen tools available. We stayed for an adult weekend, but as a mom of young children this house also would be very fitting for a family get away as well. Lots of activities for to do. We really enjoyed our stay and was thankful to find such a great property!

Couldn’t ask for better
Group of guys wanted to go on a fishing trip and I knew that I had to plan a place with some options in case weather was bad. The house had exactly everything it stated and was better then described. Great things to do on the indoors and out. The weather ended up being great and we got a good amount of fish on Crooked and we went to Mille lacs since it was a couple miles down the road. We also hopped on another lake and someone in our group caught a 44in Muskie. We were fishing for pan fish on that lake to to say the least the fact that we got that fish it the big it was a miracle. Very fun weekend couldn’t of asked for better out of the place or Marjorie. Every question I had was answered fast and she was very kind. Check-in and out went very smoothly with good instructions posted for us to follow. Again couldn’t of asked for a better place.

Great property
We stayed for a large family snowmobile trip (19 total adults/children). The property was perfect, it was clean, spacious, and stocked with all the necessary supplies one would need. There is plenty of parking for several vehicles and large trailers and the trails were easily accessible from the cabin. Communication was great, Marjorie quickly responded to any questions asked.

Great Weekend!
We had a great weekend! Everything was very neat and clean. We stayed in the middle of winter, did some grilling, ice fishing, and loved the open concept inside and the pool table! Plenty of room for our group of 12 to hang out, and plenty of beds for everyone. Marjorie was a fantastic host, and communication was very simple and informative. Would definitely come back, and recommend to all!! Thank you Marjorie!!

Wonderful Lake Front Property!!
This trip was for my 31st birthday and I couldn’t have asked for more from this stay. Marjorie provides all the necessary fun amenities, cooking tools, utilities and bedding comfort for my group. I love how everything is labeled and organized in the kitchen, which really helped our designated cooks to operate smoothly. Would recommend renting the pontoon because the lake is very clean and great for fishing. Overall, this was a 10/10 stay!

Wonderful!
We walked in and said "wow" it’s very nice and well decorated. Way bigger than what it’s looks like in the photos. Love all the hospitable signs and welcome messages, it's very thoughtful and considerate. We rented the pontoon and it was very convenient. The house was clean and cozy. We all fit at the big table for meals. There was lots to do to keep us busy. We really enjoyed the pool table and were able to wind down watching Netflix at night. We had a great time.

Wonderful Family Getaway!
Our family had a fabulous time at this cabin! With 16 people it can be hard to find places that "fit" just right, but this cabin had everything we needed! Enough room to spread out, big table for us all to eat together, multiple levels for kids that needed naps, multiple refrigerators and washers/dryers, and a great swimming area around the dock! Would definitely book here again as we made some amazing memories!

Just like everyone else said...
You read the reviews on this property and wonder if it can be that good. It is. Marjorie is a wonderful host. The house is ideal for a family or multi family gathering with space to spread out or gather close. The fishing is good for kids or adults. The new boat is worth the rental. I can't imagine a better place to rent.

Wonderful lake home for family reunion
Loved the home and it all worked very well for our family of 17. Lots of family fun in the lake and around the campfire. Plenty of beds for everyone. Loved all the toys, floaties, tether ball, etc etc. Kitchen perfectly stocked with essentials. We rented the pontoon and it was quite filthy. That is the only reason for the 4 rating. Otherwise would have been a 5. Marjorie was a pleasure to work with and made it right for us on the pontoon.

About the host

Hosted by Marjorie Safaie

Host profile image
We are native Minnesotans who moved to California in 2003. I, Marjorie, grew up in neighboring Aitkin. Both my husband and I enjoyed the summers and the lakes of Minnesota and had both dreamed of owning a vacation property there someday. We have many family members and friends in Minnesota and this large home has been a wonderful place to gather.

Why they chose this property

Our vacationers love how it is mostly one level living, including the pool table and game room, which is visible from the kitchen so even those who are doing the cooking are part of the fun!

We stayed here as a vacation rental spot for our own family in Summer 2017. We absolutely fell in love with everything about the property, and knew this was where our dream would become a reality. The home is amazing, the lot it sits on is private and peaceful, the lake is so close you can talk to those on the dock from the balcony!! Furthermore, we enjoy this area because of the water activities, huge property and lot for our family to spread out in while there, restaurants and activities nearby if we want to get out, great golfing nearby. And, only two hours to get to from the Minneapolis airport. Great restaurants and golfing within 10 minutes!

What makes this property unique

The resident loon and eagles on this lake never fail to inspire us. Our property is around 2 acres filled with oak and pine trees and in a rural ,peaceful setting. Now that we own this home, we have made a few additions so our family and all the kids and adults alike will enjoy it even more including a pool table with a ping pong table overlay. Hours of fun, if the lake itself isn't already enough!!
