the cabin was beautiful. The lake was so clean. It was so nice to be able to rent the pontoon directly through the cabin rental. Great communication with management. Thank you for allowing us to rent along with our dogs. It was so much appreciated to be able to take our dogs with us.

Great Potential
Overall, this cabin is great for a family vacation. We had an infant and toddler on our trip and the property was great for entertaining them. The beach area was great, and the lake was quiet and not busy. Where this property lacked was in cleanliness. Upon arrival, the counter ice maker contained mold, there was old food under the living room table, and a bandaid in one of the beds. Lots of bugs and cobwebs on the windows. Would be the perfect property if better maintained and cleaned.

Family Vacation
This property was beautiful. It had something for everyone. We enjoyed time on the lake, took the little ones on the kayaks and paddleboat, we fished, bonfire everynight and fun cooking in the kitchen. We stayed here for 5 days and only wish it was longer. Thank you for the great memories! Nicole

Fabulous lakeside house for a 3 generation gathering. Quiet lake that is great for kayaking and SUP. Even the teenagers enjoyed the lake and the fire pit. The family enjoyed watching the hummingbirds that visited the feeder. Thanks for an enjoyable week.

Peaceful lake home in the woods
The house was very roomy and has modern appliances. My kids and grandkids all had their own rooms, and open areas for group games and meals. The lake was full of panfish (kids really had fun catching them) and was ideal for the 95 degree weather. The hosts provided a lot of water toys for all ages, which was nice. Plenty of pine trees provided shade for us and the deer. The location is just off a paved road and is just a few minutes to town for supplies. All in all, we had a very nice time!

What a fantastic discovery!
Our crew was in Brainerd for a long weekend to work a race at the track. We wound up discovering this jewel after our hotel rooms were canceled at the last minute. How lucky we were to enjoy these beautiful lake views and comforting home amenities! The setting is wonderful, with loons on the water and kayaks at the ready. We cooked at the house every night and enjoyed the company of our friends without the need for any TV or other bothersome electronics. The kitchen is well stocked with many spices, condiments, cookware, and utensils so all you need to bring is your food and drink. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well arranged with fresh sheets, towels, and more. Really ... we had such a fantastic time that whenever we're back at BIR, we'll book Valhalla Up North!

Valhalla was a lovely escape after being stuck at home....
Valhalla and the Johnson family were fantastic hosts. The location and setting on Bass Lake was very cute. Good for swimming, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding. House is good for group to have space and the gradual grade to lake is pleasant. House faces east so lots of morning sunlight and even into afternoon a bit. The pontoon was great to have during the week as well. Note: There was a wild rain storm during our stay which cut our visit shorter due to some water issues however the Johnson family went over and above to correct the issue and make it right. It says a lot about how much they care about Valhalla and their guests. I would recommend Valhalla as a relaxing summer escape from daily life. I did not look at my laptop for 5 days :) Carrie and Doug

Week of Bliss
The property was as described, and was bigger than I expected. The beds were very comfortable. We cooked most meals in the house, and all the things I needed were there and easy to find. I was given multiple ways to contact the owners, and they were so great to work with - even shared insider tips on restaurants and groceries. I plan to stay again.

Weekend Getaway
We had rented many places in the summer time but this is our first weekend getaway experience during the fall season. It was a spectacular experience. The cabin was just the right size for us, it was cozy, peaceful and quite autumn nights which we truly enjoyed. There were 2 cabins next to each side of us and we did hope for a more secluded area but it all worked out anyways, since there wasn't anyone actually occupying those cabins or out partying loud and late next to us. There were a few items that we forgot and Margit, the property owner encourages us to feel free to use whatever was available, which saves us time to make a run to the store. The cabin also have a sorts of kitchenware, utensils, plates, pots in all sizes which made it convenient for our cooking and dining needs. Margit was very helpful and any questions we have, we were able to reach her with a respond in a timely manner. My daughter was a bit disappointed since she wanted to fish (the dock was taken out, maybe due to the season, which is understandable) it made it harder to throw out in the deeper water where fishes are usually at. But all and all, she was able to enjoy the weekend with card games and the Xbox inside the cabin. The lake was very clear and we would recommend this cabin for a cozy and peaceful getaway in the summer if you have kids who wants to have some water fun activities! Thanks to Margit for allowing us to enjoy her wonderful cabin and a autumn experience!
