Longville, Minnesota
Mark Twain once wrote that somethings are so difficult to explain, they must be experienced! Privacy and quiet rarely found on a major, pristine lake. Three sides of the property are either protected by a National Forest or the vast expansive lake shore of Women Lake. The other side is a buffer woods to the only other cabin close. Hear the quiet My brother and I spent two years lovingly remodeling this generational property, adding modern conveniences while still preserving. Beamed screened porch and entry ceilings, expansive deck, two story great room with skip sawn pine with beam ceiling, reading loft with beautiful lake views, two story stone gas fireplace, and converted the curved Amish built barn into an upper deck bunkhouse with full bath including walk in shower. There are three rooms in the main cabin (2 queens and 1 king) with a queen pull out couch. The bunk room has three twin over queen bunks, smart TV’s, wifi. The pictures tell the rest... would sleep 17. We plan to share our treasure a few times each year. Read the reviews as they come as we so welcome them from those who appreciate this beauty!

Great location and property. Lots of room and beds for 12 of us. Loved being there!
The property was great, the house was as advertised, the grandchildren loved staying in the bunkhouse. The yard was good sized, fire pit area was great for evening fires and smores, there was plenty of space for parking the vehicles and boat trailers. Woman Lake is a beautiful lake with plenty of loons and eagles to watch, great for swimming and tubing, and the fishing wasn't bad either. I would recomend this property.
We stayed with a multigenerational group and it was a wonderful set up for our needs. The screen porch was the most used room in the house! We also appreciated being able to use the AC as needed on very hot days. The swim raft was great for our older kids, but there wasn't a great place for the 3 year old to swim. The 2 fridges were very appreciated as well. It was a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend this property!
The place was even more beautiful than the pictures. The host was very responsive and helpful with suggestions.
This is the second time we have stayed at this property, and it was even better than the first time. The location on the lake is wonderful (don't have to go into the big water to enjoy the lake or get into town), and it has everything you need for a fun, relaxing vacation. Next best thing to owning a lake home!
This property was everything we could ask for- space for everyone. The water toys were appreciated. The kitchen area was very nice. Boat dock was so nice- the littles fished there and caught some. The bedroom spaces were awesome.
This is our second year staying. The property is clean and modern. Easy access to snowmobile trails. We hope to stay again.
The cabin and bunkhouse were both beautiful. We attended our daughter’s wedding across the lake so didn’t spend very much time at the cabin. We did enjoy the screen porch in the evenings. Gorgeous view of the lake!
The house and property were great. Our favorite room in the entire house was the screened in porch. Rain or sun it was the perfect place to spend time. We knew that fishing was challenging on the lake so much of the time we fished other smaller lakes in the area and did well. We will book again.
Lots of room for large group, well stocked and lots to do.
We had a great time during our stay in Longville with minimal issues. Pros: The cabin was beautiful and certainly met our needs. The property was lovely. Someone else mentioned that the incline from the lake was steeper than they thought it would be. I thought that the incline was pretty minimal and most people would do just fine with it. If you have elderly family members staying, it could be a bit difficult for them, but would likey be able to still make the trek down with a pit stop or two. I appreciated being able to see the dock and swimming area from the cabin so the adults could keep an eye on the kids while they fished, swam, and kayaked. The kids caught many sunfish off the dock. Plenty of room for everyone between the house and bunkhouse. The turtle races were fun for all! We had great weather and enjoyed many hours out on the screened in porch. The king mattress and pillows were very comfortable. Cons: The bathroom rugs were wet and sandy when we arrived. They should have been washed and dried between guests. There was not enough paper towels or toilet paper. When I asked the owner he said they could not supply an unlimited amount of these. There were 11 of us staying here and we were left with only 2 rolls of paper towels for a week and 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. We had to run to town for more of these items. We were also left with only 3 hand towels for a week. A family member of the owners', graciously dropped off more hand towels for us midway through our stay. The full mattresses were not comfortable. While the kids caught plenty of sunfish off the dock, we had a hard time finding the fish on the lake despite going out at all times of the day and using various bait. Overall we had a nice time with only a few minor issues with which the owner was responsive. Thank you for sharing your lake home!
The cabin was beautiful and suited our family of 11 well. There were enough beds for everyone. It is in a beautiful setting. The lawn down to the lake is steeper than in the photographs. The screened in porch was a favorite place for us to hang out. The fire pit was nice and easy to use. There were plenty of chairs for our family to use on the property. During our stay there was a storm that caused the electricity to go out for 2 days. We contacted the host and let him know there had been a storm. We informed him that the electricity went out and that there were tree limbs and branches down. They let the electric company know. We asked about a generator and it was stated that they might be able to get one from a family member. We never heard anything again regarding a generator. We had to find our own generator so that we wouldn't lose 2 refrigerators full of food. Because the electricity went out, we also had to haul water up from the lake in order to use toilets. There were no pails to use. We fully understand that weather and unforeseen conditions cannot be controlled by anyone, but unfortunately our stay was impacted by everything that we had to handle ourselves with little help from the host.
We had our annual family gathering at this property. The accommodations were super good with large open group spaces and comfortable sleeping spaces for all 14 of us. The large screened porch and adjoining deck was comfortable and had a perfect view of the lake and yard. Bag toss, kayaking, table games, fishing and the nearby casino kept everyone happily occupied. This is the second time we have stayed at one of this host’s properties. He is responsive, considerate and made our stay even more special. Thanks!!
Very nice house, great location. Perfect weather
We spent a week at this property for a family vacation - 6 kids, 6 adults. Plenty of beds, dishes, towels, etc. and lots of room for everyone. We especially loved the screened-in porch. The kids had a blast on the lake either fishing from the dock or kayaking or swimming to the lily pad. We also enjoyed Longville and attended the turtle races. The vacation was a total hit with everyone and we would love to go back sometime. ?
Easy check in and out, beautiful home and property, highly recommend this property.
