Gorgeous sweeping views from many windows

We had a wonderful week. The house is beautiful, very quiet and relaxing. One day it snowed. Breathtaking to relax in the living room surrounded by huge windows watching the snow turn the view into a magical wonderland. The location feels like it is remote, but it’s actually only a short drive to downtown Forest Lake. Fenced in area was a perfect bonus, since we brought the dog. Great location to serve as a base to visit family and friends in the twin cities. Thank you!

Peaceful and Spacious

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this house. It's a beautiful home with amazing views! We very much enjoyed watching 10 deer cross through the yard every evening. The home is spacious and inviting. The ping pong table and theater area were a bonus for us! Our visit was just the peaceful retreat we needed. Thank you to the owners!

Wonderful stay

Property was everything that our family needed. Beautiful view out of the backyard, plenty of bedrooms for our family of 5, and pets allowed with a fenced in space for them to run and play. Communication with home owners was exceptional. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a beautifully upgraded home.

Great Weekend Stay!

This place was close to home for us and just a place for old friends to gather and spend some time together. It is beautifully decorated and had just about everything we needed. Location was great and just a quick trip to downtown area. Owner very responsive. Reason for the 4 star on cleanliness was mainly that the kitchen cupboards could use some organizing and maybe a few upgrades on pans and utensils but we got by just fine. It was a spacious home with an unusual floor plan. Sometimes I would be like wait, which way am I going? Great stay!
