    Couldn't have been a better experience. Place is great, yard is great, caught some fish, and relaxed. Owner was super responsive and overly accommodating. We have rented lots of places all around this area and this was the best experience we have had. Highly, highly recommend!

    This was the best stocked VRBO we have ever rented. It truly had everything we needed and then some. The house was absolutely beautiful as well as the lake. We saw loons and heard them calling which is a spectacular experience. We spent lots of time kayaking and paddle boarding. Our grandson loved to play on the sandy beach. We would definitely rent here again!

    We booked this place for a girls weekend and right away the host was very responsive and willing to answer any and all questions almost immediately. He was very accommodating and even gave detailed recommendations on local bars and restaurants when I asked. The place is even better and felt bigger in person compared to the pictures! The kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of towels, lawn chairs, firewood etc. I would absolutely recommend and stay here again!

    Clean property. Great location, GPS is the best way to find it but it is close to Nisswa, Cross Lake, Brainerd, Crosby… owner was excellent to work with and communicated immediately if we had any questions. Well stocked if you forgot something. Game and movie selection was nice. It was late fall but a few of the girls went swimming in the cold water. We look forward to coming back with some younger family members in the summer when they can swim. Nice beach and shallow water along the shore. Showers were next we’ve seen at a VRBO. Parking was sufficient. Great place!!

    Of all of the lake properties my family has rented, this was our favorite. The home was beautiful, very clean with spacious rooms. It was well equipped with everything you would need including supplies, games, internet, and TV options. The yard was beautiful grass that led to a perfect sandy beach with no rocks or weeds! The dock was very nice for fishing or relaxing to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. And no mosquitos! Great communication with the manager was also a plus. We would definitely rent this property again!

    We found the property suited our family of 13 very well. The water “toys” and play station got used a lot. Nice sandy beach for kids or just for sitting and reading or sun bathing. The gradual slope of the lake is great for younger children, also, and the lake bottom is sandy. The lake wasn’t real busy so was perfect for boating and other water craft. Beautiful sunsets!! One of the best places we’ve stayed as a family. Mike Reeves is a super host!!
