Lovely fall weekend getaway
What a great way to spend a beautiful fall weekend! Beautiful location on a quiet lake with great views! The house was stocked with the little things that make a stay easier; coffee, coloring books for kids, outdoor games, fire wood, etc. The hosts were incredibly communicative and gave us all the information we needed for a great stay! Highly recommend!

Family vacation
We loved our stay at Leisure Lodge! 3 families with young children and grandparents were all able to stay under one roof. Tons of amenities and acticities for kids. Host was very quick to respond to messages and sent out lots of ideas for things to do around the area. We had chilly weather while we were there so took advantage of Paul Bunyan Land only 10 minutes away. Also

Family Vacation
We stayed here with our adult children and their partners, 2 dogs and a 1yr. old., making full use of all the bedrooms. We never felt on top of each other. We spent most of our time on the open main level with kitchen, dining, and living room. The lower level would be great for kids to have their own play space. Although we planned on doing some activities in Brianard, we never did because we were enjoying ourselves so much at the Leisure Lodge! We enjoyed having Paridise Bar and Grill within walking distance, and did Bingo night there. We also really enjoyed the lake with the provided kayaks and floaties. We brought kitchen stuff, which was unnecessary because the kitchen was well stocked with quality cookwear and every thing you could need (ex. cheese grater, muffin tins). I appreciated all the info the owners sent prior, and the little touches to make our visit more comfortable. Thanks for a good time and good memories, Katie and Hunter. Amy

We had a lovely stay at the leisure lodge. The beds were comfortable, open concept living space offered lots of comfortable and cozy places to hang out. Beautiful view of the frozen lake from the living room.
