Winter Family Trip
We stayed for 3 nights at this home over New Year’s Eve. The house had plenty of room for our big group. We had kids ranging from 1-17 and there was plenty of space for all and different things for all ages to do. The kitchen was nice and big and having two living rooms with TVs was great. We spent the majority of our time in the game room (which was super fun for everyone) we loved the dart board, bean bags and the pool table the most! Only thing missing was internet for the TV and Music. The fire pit by the lake was so nice to have on the colder days while everyone was out playing on the ice. Easy access to the lake was great for us who had four wheelers and ice fishing gear. The downstairs was a little colder than expected but did warm up once we found the space heaters. The owners responded very fast to any questions we had. We would book to stay here again!

Awesome Holiday Weekend
We had an amazing time over Labor Day weekend. The house was in great condition and the water “toys” were a huge bonus. Everyone had an amazing time and we would absolutely come back again! Thank you for an awesome stay! Pros: Pontoon, kayaks and paddle boat Plenty of space for everyone Near Itasca State Park (30 min) Cons: Number of plates - we had to keep doing dishes

Booked a last minute cousin family get together for a couple of nights, and it was the perfect place to stay! Authentic cabin feel, great location on the lake while still being close to town, check in process very easy, and good communication with owner! We are looking forward to coming back in the summertime!

This was our second time staying here. We love it because there is so much room to spread out. It’s so quiet and peaceful yet close to town. The cabin is so cozy and is very clean. Having the added bonus of the pontoon is a great way to enjoy the lake. We will be back next year! Thank you Kelly for sharing your cabin! So many great memories!

My family had a great stay! We enjoyed the use of the pontoon and amenities that the property provided. The lake is a good size and was good for fishing and water sports. The property was big enough for our family of 17 and Kelly was prompt with communicating. It is a nice place!

Terrific Week Away With Family
We had a wonderful week staying with extended family and friends. The cabin is great, all the beds were very comfortable and we had fun evenings watching movies all together. We enjoyed the lake for fishing and tubing and took several rides by the pontoon to Zorbaz. The pontoon was a wonderful plus. This is a great cabin and Kelly was very nice and responsive. We had a great stay and would recommend this place.

We had a great time! Each family had their own bedroom and we had plenty of room to gather together for eating and games. The grandkids loved the kayaks and paddle board.. We took the pontoon out for fishing and swimming which was an added bonus. It’s so peaceful yet close to town and other activities . Our only issue was not enough deck furniture but luckily we brought chairs from home. Kelly was very responsive to any concerns. He brought us new outdoor games during our stay. We would definitely recommend booking with Kelly. The log home is beautiful and cozy, We will be back next year!

The cabin gives you the real experience of the lake, yard is a little small for a large group, but okay, and the shore line is not real attractive for swimming. But it has a nice dock and the pontoon is definitely a bonus. We would recommend it.
