Perfect getaway any time of year!

Great amenities! The house was absolutely beautiful. It's perfect for adult couples since there are either queen or king beds and nothing smaller which what a huge plus for our group! It was well taken care of, clean, stocked with basic amenities and we are definitely planning another visit next year! Thank you!

This is a wonderful place for large family gatherings. It was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed and then some! Clean, beautiful place all decked out in holiday decor, which made our stay even more special. Many bedrooms and lots of space for family to spend time together. We are planning to return for a summer trip as the lake and firepit area looked amazing!

Reached out ahead of time and was quick to answer any questions before and during the stay.

The house was well-equipped with everything we needed. It was clean, beautiful, and a fabulous location to spend time with family. The fully decorated Christmas trees were the perfect accent to our early Christmas weekend!

Had a great time with gal-pals, lots of room, everything worked, very clean, would certainly stay again.

This is our 4th time at the property, and it does not disappoint. There is plenty of space, the beds are comfortable, the outdoor firepit is a plus and the setting by the lake is beautiful.

Our family loved this home. We enjoyed coffee on the porch each morning and We especially loved the spaciousness of the great room. The kids enjoyed the theatre room and the train track and accessories. The place was well stocked with baking needs and spices and there were lots of different size crockpots and small kitchen appliances available for use. It was probably one of the best stocked VRBO rentals we have ever used.

While the weather was cool we appreciated the layout of the house and the space offered for our multi-generational group. We didn’t get the opportunity to swim but did love the screened in porch and fire table. There was plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and 4 littles.

This property was gorgeous! The entire house was very clean, and had a lot of amenities. We really enjoyed the kayaks that were available. The lake wasn’t ideal for fishing, but a fun recreational lake!

The house is beautiful! There are many spacious gathering areas so it never feels cramped. There was ample towels, beds and basic items that made our stay comfortable and convenient. 5 Stars!

Beautiful lake home that was beyond our expectations. Kitchen had everything needed and had a pantry full of small appliance. Plenty of bedding and beach towels available. Kids enjoyed the theater room and teens hung out in the upstairs sitting room. The wrap around screened-in porch was awesome for evening card playing or early morning coffee time listening to the loons. So much space to enjoy!We brought boats to enjoy the lake and swimming out in the center. Quite a few weeds in lakeshore water that the grandkids weren’t fond of. The laundry room closet has an array of life vests available too.We will absolutely come back if it works out!

This home was exactly as pictured and described. All the amenities kept my family entertained the entire time of our 4 day stay. We rented a pontoon and enjoyed the lake as well. Honestly, nothing was absent that left us wanting or needing more. I am likely to book again and I highly recommend this home as a great vacation getaway.

Our second stay and it was just as good as the first. Large functional spaces. Everything you need in the kitchen. Love the screened in deck, especially with the propane fireplace on in the evenings. Shallow water around the dock is nice for younger kids learning to swim. Hope to be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed a 4 night getaway with our 2 adult children, their spouses and our 2 grandchildren at this beautiful property! We couldnt have asked for better accomodations. We had everything we needed and more. Best VRBO we have ever stayed at. We already wanted to book for next year but unfortunately it doesnt look like its available.

Fantastic! Perfect for our family of 13. We enjoyed our stay with our MN and Arizona family.

It was beautiful and just what was needed!

Enjoyed several days with seven girlfriends at this beautiful lakeside home. Enjoyed many hours relaxing, reminiscing, and enjoying the lake views in the screened in porch. Plenty of space throughout the house for all. Great amenities- lacked nothing.

My wife and I decided to celebrate our 30th anniversary early in the year instead of waiting just in case the temperatures got too hot mid summer as they often do.When our booking came up, we were pleasantly surprised that the weather was going to be in the 70's and sunny the whole week. Even better after we discovered that Hope Shores is such a fantastic place with all the ammenities we would need and want. It's a beautiful house with such a relaxing feel to it that it didn't take long before we were at ease kicking back in the living room enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. We love reading and spent hours out on the wrap around screened in porch with our Kindles, or on the bench at the end of the dock looking out at the lake and enjoying the wild life.The movie theater and a game of pool were a terrific way to spend our evenings, especially stretched out on the comfortable recliners watching our favorite movies on the big screen. There are some nearby walking trails at Dassel/Darwin Park that provide terrific scenic views from the top of the mountain that overlook the surrounding area. We killed some time at the nearby thrift store in Dassel and found everything we needed at the grocery store in Cokato. We loved spending time enjoying our meals in the large beautiful kitchen or just listening to music and drinking coffee in the mornings. By the end of our peaceful relaxing week, we were sad to be leaving which is always a good sign of a great vacation.

This is my 3rd time staying at this VRBO. I have stayed here previously with adult female friends and this time it was with my family, our adult children and grandchildren. This property was perfect and met all of our needs. It is a beautiful home with all the right stuff to make it a perfect get away. The added benefit is it close enough to home that no one had to drive more than an hour and a half. I would highly recommend this property.

We had such a such a great time. We needed to regroup and decompress and that’s exactly what this vacation did for us even though we stayed just a few days. All of our stress was gone by the time that we left. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything that you would ever need, our older adult children loved the downstairs playing pool, video games, and the movie room. It was highly used. I loved the porch in the back to read relax and stare at the lake. Even though it was March, we were lucky enough to have amazing weather so we could sit out there. This is the second time that we have come to this house and it did not disappoint.

This was a long weekend getaway for four siblings and there spouses. This is the first time we had done this. The house was great and fit our needs perfectly. Great weekend! Thank you!!

House is big and comfortable for our group of 8. I thrilled how cozy it felt for our January stay-nice touch to baskets of throws. Gas fireplaces were lovely. Kitchen and dining seating was great!

This was my kids first time seeing snow and a frozen lake. The property was clean and spacious. It was a 30 minute ride to Powder Ridge Ski Slopes and about 10 minutes to the grocery store in the next town over. Weather was zero degrees and we had no issue with the heat on any floor. Needed help trying to get the media room working and property manager responded quickly. Overall it was a great place to stay.

We enjoyed celebrating New Years with family and friends in this beautiful house! The open living and kitchen area was perfect for sharing meals and playing games! The movie room was perfect for the 10 of us to watch a movie together! The downstairs pool table and bar area was perfect for celebrating the new year! We even utilized the lake for some ice fishing during our stay! We love this house and would highly recommend to others!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home! The views from the wall of windows overlooking the lake is amazing! Lots of space for groups to gather for movies, games or to just relax. The kitchen was very well stocked and the beds very comfortable. Super appreciated the lovely Christmas decorations, including 2 trees, as we gathered there to celebrate together. Owners were super responsive and helpful - very easy check in and out. Would stay here again for sure!

The house was perfect for our weekend stay! The beds were very comfortable and the house is very spacious! The house is beautifully decorated! We loved the fire pit outside!

Very clean so we could just focus on fun. Love the porch fire and fire pit, and game room.

Our family of 8 adults and one infant like to get together each year at a lake home. Your home was perfect and at a great location to the twin cities. The home was very clean and organized. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend your home to others, so long as they don't have pets. Our only complaint is that your pet fee was too high for us to consider staying there again.

Our big family of two adults and eight children ranging from 3 years old to 20 years old enjoyed a long weekend at this beautiful lake home. The home is absolutely breathtaking and has views of the lake from almost every room. We enjoyed fishing, campfires, watching swans and their babies, family movie nights, lots and lots of laughing, dinner is around the table together and game nights. The house has everything you need and more. Everything is high quality and super clean. Thank you for such a wonderful family weekend together ❤️

The house offers great space for a large group - for sleeping, for meals, for hanging out. We especially enjoyed the screen porch and the movie theater.

8 girls that have been friends since high school celebrated turning 60. The house was perfect! We utilized all the amenities for a nice long weekend of visiting, laughing and making memories. Thank you so much for providing the perfect place to do that!❤️ the 80s Ladies.

Contrary to other views, we loved the lake. Heading out a football field in any direction was 3 foot deep water. Little weeds or muck. House is gorgeous and owner was quick response on everything.

We've stayed as a family in many different rental homes over the years and this one was unanimously the favorite. Spacious, comfortable, and well laid out both inside and outside. The screened in porch with its tucked away couch and fire table was perhaps the best feature for us. It was just very inviting and great for staying out of the sun or keeping warm when the temps were cooler. The outdoor fire pit and smallish grassy area we used for playing bag toss is well designed as well, nicely overlooking the water. Both spaces got a lot of use. Inside the spaces all accommodated our group of 6 adults and 8 kids very well. Well stocked, beautiful kitchen, comfortable couches and beds, and a basement that kept the kids entertained when we weren't outside enjoying the weather. Hard to beat the theater room in the basement to wind down after a busy day. Would highly recommend. We'd love to return next year.

The house was great. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for all of us. The lake was right outside the back door. Fire pit area was very nice for our camp fire and s'mores. Everything was just as we expected.
