FALL COLOR! Historic Lake Lodge Rustic Elegance Modern Comfort Waterfront

The lodge was great for our extended family. Plenty of rooms to fit everyone and plenty of seating. The host was very responsive. Beautiful views of the lake and outdoor seating too.

Stupendous space, inside and out. Kitchen equipped for a large group (we had 12) cooking and cleanup’crews together. Stove, sink dishwasher, top notch. Stargazing, superb. ‘Rustic Elegance’ was perfect for us!

The property was beautiful and the host was nice and amazingly attentive. The cabin was extremely hot during the day and had fans blowing all over the cabin and in every room, and the window wouldn’t open upstairs in one of the lofts. There were problems with the WiFi connection that the host worked to remedy. The water in the kitchen smelled horrible and it took a full day of running before it subsided. There was not enough hot water for showers for the 12 of us. Literally four people got warm showers in the evening. I understand it is a cabin, but the cobwebs on the windows were excessive and we felt they could have been cleaned away prior to arrival. The shower in the loft didn’t work and one of the showers and separate toilet stall were located in the laundry/mud room and they were unacceptable and too rustic to use. Also, kids under 17 weren’t allowed in the lofts without an adult. The loft rules and bathroom information are things that should be clear in the description before booking. Otherwise, as mentioned in the beginning, the property grounds were beautiful and relaxing.

Beautiful lodge. There is room for everyone to be together or for people to enjoy their own space. The lake and property are lovely.

The most Beautiful place, authentic, charming, cozy! This place has so much space and fun bedrooms! Our family was there for our son’s wedding and it was the perfect location for everything we needed! It was really hard to leave this place! Thank you for sharing your home with us we really felt welcomed and at HOME!! Love, the Miller Family

Our family of nine with three infants had a great stay at Laurel‘s property on Eagle Lake. It has the feel of a historic lodge that has been well cared for with lots of space for a family to spread out. Everything was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. It is very secluded on several acres of molded grounds interspersed with large Trees overlooking the lake. There is a very nice dock which we were able to keep our boat on. Only slight difficulty is that we were there probably the hottest and most humid week of the summer, and there is not air conditioning. Despite this, the place is well ventilated and had lots of fans and we were overall fairly comfortable. The lake is great. We had decent luck fishing, and the caretaker Gene was kind enough to set up a nice place for us to clean our fish. Will definitely consider making this a regular family reunion spot.

The house and surrounding grounds far exceeded our expectations! The layout of the house was perfect for our family. Plenty of space to cook, share meals, lounge in the great room or porch areas. Laurel and Gene were very accessible when we had questions.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot to stay for a week at the lake! The lodge is beautiful and full of historic charm with all the modern conveniences you need. A well appointed kitchen, plenty of bathrooms (great water pressure!), comfortable bedrooms, and lots of space for gathering with family or finding a nook to sit and read. The lake is so clear!! And, it has a sandy bottom with no seaweed in the swimming area along with a nice sandy beach. Spacious grounds for hiking around complete the beauty of this property. Our host was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and answered all questions in a timely manner. We would highly recommend a stay here and hope to come back!!

The place is very well maintained inside and out, and is very comfortable no matter your age. We spent our time outside or in the sunroom staring at the beautiful view. It really is a nice private place that’s good for large families. We had multiple generations and we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other all the time. Everything is as described, but the charm of the place can’t be captured. Amazing views and a relaxing environment that isn’t far at all from Detroit Lakes or Fargo. It was far better than we expected and easily the cleanest lake house we’ve ever rented.

Wonderfully kept up fisherman’s lodge. Great fishing for our modest boat. The property as a whole is so interesting and vast. If you are looking to unplug and stay in a more rustic but well kept accommodations—this is perfect for a family. It’s also close to Detroit Lakes and Perham for shopping and restaurants.
