Clean and thoughtful

This is our second stay at the cabin for my family. It is always perfectly clean and organized with thoughtful treats and things such as coffee creamer and filters that renters may not remember to bring. Hot tub is always clear and ready to use. Wonderful communication!

The right place to stay

This house was purpose built for exactly what you need. Plenty of room, perfect for our family while visiting family! Close to anything you might need, and besides food, there was nothing we needed that wasn't already provided. Exceptional everything, including the hosts. They made everything easy and communicated eveything we needed to know prior to our arrival. We will stay here again, heck we'd buy it if was an option!

Comfortable and clean getaway near the Twin Cities

The house is on a lake and has a hot tub and firepit. The interior is very nicely decorated and it was one of the cleanest rentals I have ever stayed in; details were not overlooked. There was plenty of bedding and towels, open space, kitchen supplies, and more. The only downside is that it is directly next to the highway (not too loud) and there wasn't a good place to go for a walk.

No Boat

In the information it said that a boat was available to rent. It was NOT. Also, no where on the lake was there a boat rental that came to South Center Lake. It is called a Cahin of Lakes but that really isn't true.

Birthday surprise

For my birthday my husband and I rented this fine establishment for three nights. The hosts were very accommodating and the place was impeccable. I could easily see us having a very similar place of our own one day. The views of the lake can be taken from the main level, inside and outside as well as either of the balconies in the upstairs. There are only two complaints of the place. The first being the access to the dock is a little shady and appearing to be of two pallets. These also make it a little difficult to easily walk onto the beach area. The second issue that we had was out of the control of the owners. Due to its proximity to the road, we found the road noise a little annoying. The good part is that the house is very well insulated and one cannot hear the road noise while inside. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely be going back in the future.

Amazing!

This place was amazing!!! It was so nice, comfortable and private!!! The house was clean and open. It was great to have a near constant breeze from the lake. The yard games and canoe/paddle boat available for our use was a great pass time. After a long day in the sun it was nice to just sit and relax around the fire. I'd recommend this property to my friends and family. I also would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect!

Really clean, conducive to living, and enjoying the lake. The cabin is a great build that is nicely decorated but also doesn’t have a bunch of nicknacks that make things cumbersome. This cabin has several different hang out nooks, such as the two decks on the second level; that help make it an exciting place to be. The hot tub is immaculate. It is very fun to soak and watch what is happening on the lake. The hosts are perfect! They are attentive, great communicators and friendly but not invasive. Just the right combination of attributes you hope your VROB hosts have. This is my second stay and I would love to get the opportunity to stay again in the future.
