Great northern getaway

We stayed here over an October weekend for a family getaway and could not have been more pleased. This home had plenty of space, great amenities, and on a quiet property. The host was quick to respond to any question I had. We all agreed that we would like to come back again.

Paradise

Beautiful lake home, on a beautiful lake. Many opportunities for family fun; swimming, fishing, fire pit, games, meal prep. would have liked some cross ventilation in living room and kitchen, but overall wonderful experience.

Great cabin on a quiet lake

We visited the Brainerd Lakes area with our family of 4 for a week and this was a great home base for all our summer fun! We loved the kayaks and used them every day. The cabin had a ton of amenities, extremely well stocked kitchen, many board games, good WiFi, two grills (Weber and a Traeger) and more (check the listing). And it was nice to stay somewhere that is more quiet than the more popular lakes in the area.

Lovely lake house

A lovely lake house with plenty of different seating areas around the house. We arrived the day after a big storm so we made ourselves helpful cleaning the yard and make a bonfire, we loved it. The house is nice, some furniture in and around the house is a bit run down. However I was not very pleased with the fact that one bunk bed the sheets were not clean and fresh, and I know for sure when I later found candy wrappers in the bed (not from us!) Still we recommend the house! Thanks!

Wonderful weekend getaway

This was our second time staying a wonderful weekend as a family in this beautiful cabin. Enjoyed games and puzzles while watching the sunset across the lake, the frozen lake was fun to explore as well! Well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy meals. Thanks for letting us bring our whole family (including our dog!) for a great getaway. We’ll be back again!!

Cozy and Secluded - Wonderful Property

While the temperatures outside were cold, the fireplace at Bearfeet Retreat was warm and cozy. The property itself was very clean, and just as described in the listing. Communication and instructions from the owners was great, and crystal clear. A simply gorgeous "grand room" including a kitchen that was delight to cook in. The time of year resulted in a secluded, private feel that is just what we were looking for. Would be keen to come back in the summer when the lake isn't frozen and there are leaves on the trees. In conclusion: highly recommended!
