Perfect!!
This property was just as pictured! The cabin was clean and we had everything we could need. If you are going with family and young kids it is perfect!! The lake is shallow by the cabin, not weedy or rocky and has a great beach for the kids to play. The cabin was stocked with beach toys, lake toys and baby items. We also enjoyed the addition of the hot tub. I would definitely recommend and would come back again!

Great Beachfront!
The beachfront and lake definitely make this property! The host was great at communicating. The outside of the property could be cleaned up better but overall it was a great property. The lake is sandy and the water was crystal clear!

Beautiful Lakeside Retreat
We stayed here over the 4th of July and had an amazing time. The beach area was perfection! A sandy beach with shallow water for all the little ones to play. And, we loved having two separate family spaces for when the days/nights got a little rainy. The property manager responded very quickly to any concerns to ensure our stay was perfect.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the size of the lake and the feeling of remoteness yet being so close to Nisswa, Brainerd/Baxter, and all of the fun things they have to offer.

What makes this property unique

We have tried very hard to ensure that you have everything you need to have a great time and that it's stocked at the house for your stay. The house has been updated with a modern farmhouse look with a lake-ish vibe.
