This place is quiet and scenic, yet close to amenities. The interior was comfortable and well appointed. The bed was beyond comfy and the view of the lake was beautiful. I would definitely stay here again.

Awesome

Location on the lake was great. You do need a GPS/Map once in the Resort because there are a number of streets to turn onto. Overall place was very clean. Beach theme decor. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need and then some. Ample bath towels. Beds were super comfortable with memory foam mattresses. The deck was a treat to have your morning tea/coffee while listening to the birds and ducks. And the patio at night to sit and relax without getting damp because the deck was above. A little extra touch of handmade bows and roses on places you wouldn't expect.

Had a great time

My family had a great time at Lake of The Woods. My kids particularly enjoyed the air hockey table in the basement. The lake was nice for kayaking and it's great having such easy access right from the back yard. House was comfortable and offered plenty of entertainment. We will definitely consider staying here again in the future.

wonderful house and exceptional hosts!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront house. Al was very responsive to all my questions. He and his wife attended to all the details that would make guests comfortable. Features that stood out included the cleanliness of the house, the view of the lake from so many areas of the house, the wildlife on the lake, and the opportunity to kayak and fish from the property itself.

Beautiful View of the Lake-Waterfront

We loved the fantastic view of the lake from the kitchen & living room in the morning with coffee and throughout the day! Very clean, comfy beds & well equipped kitchen. There's a theatre & game room downstairs (with another full bath) and full view of the lake through sliders. So nice to have the Adirondack chairs on the dock, shame the weather was cold! We would love to come again soon!

Absolutely amazing

We couldn't have had a better time. I went with 3 girlfriends and we were so comfortable and had so much fun. They have thought of EVERYTHING and have supplies for whatever you could need. The kayaks were amazing, we used the fire pit each night, and being on the lake was beautiful. We loved hanging out in the basement with the game space and projector. The beds are very comfy and the space is very clean. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and so cute. Can't recommend this place enough. The hosts were also very responsive and very kind.

Small Family get together

It was nice to return to Locust Grove after being gone for 7+ years and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Life on the Lake. Plenty of room for entertaining in multiple spaces. The ping pong/air hockey table was a big hit.

Peaceful spot

We had an amazing time at Al and Marcia's wonderful lakefront home. Everything was as described. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We spent much of our time on the upper deck looking at the view of the lake and had most of our meals there. There are so many options of things to do in the house: kayaks, games, air hockey, ping pong, movies and so many books! Early mornings down on the dock drinking coffee was perfect and then evenings by the outdoor firepit. This house sits on a smaller lake and we had access to the larger lake nearby, so we even had a beach day at Clubhouse beach. I can't say enough about this house and the communication with the owners. Everything was wonderful!

Lovely Vacation spot

We had a fabulous time at this lovely lake house. The home is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We all thoroughly enjoyed taking out the kayaks, floating in tubes, swimming in the lake, and just relaxing on the deck with the beautiful view of the lake! Al is a very responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back next summer!

Lake life is the best life!

We had an amazing time during our stay! The house was even better than described, spotlessly clean and had a beautiful view! Al was exceptional to work with and went above and beyond to be accommodating, even going so far as to send me a map of handicap accessible walking trails that we could take my father-in-law to with his walker. All of the little touches, such as the snacks and water to welcome us and little chocolates on our pillows, make this property stand out even more! My family enjoyed the excellent fishing, kayaking, relaxing, and quality family time. This is a little piece of paradise to which we hope to return!

Fantastic vacation

This is the perfect home for any kind of stay! Not only does this place have everything you need it also has things you didn’t even think you would need. Lake was great for fishing kayaking and swimming. There is plenty of room in the home for people to do their own thing if they want or do something together as a whole family. Definitely stay here if you get the chance.

Relaxing and Peaceful Lake House

We felt welcome in the Lake of the Woods neighborhood. Our host Al, was helpful by providing information about the community, and responsive if we had questions. The lake is quiet and peaceful, we enjoyed morning kayaking and the beauty of the lake. The kids enjoyed swimming at the beach (the big lake) and we even got a chance to play at the community pool. The house is spacious and comfortable, and provided everything we needed. The beds were super comfy! My kids really enjoyed the air hockey table and the projector movies. The collection of books and board games is full of variety, something for everyone! I would love to come back and stay again, the house is charming and super hosts.

Lakeside Oasis

We absolutely loved our stay at Al’s property. There was so much to do, including kayaking, swimming, space for volleyball on the grass, a hammock to read in, board games, poker, ping pong table and air hockey. Not to mention the projector and dvd selection. We came for a weekend and brought our dog and cat and truly had such a wonderful time. The home is clean and extremely well-stocked. The beds are comfortable and the dock is in great shape. We took the kayaks out at least twice a day. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Excellent property that was very clean and had all of the amenities you would need for an enjoyable stay.
