Great house for family vacation

The house was big enough for our family yet cozy enough to make us feel at home. So many things to do and fishing and kayaking was perfect I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting a family getaway.

Beautiful home on the water

We enjoyed our stay at Happy Days log cabin. We had an usually warm day in March, and the kids loved going kayaking! They also took advantage of the hot chocolate station while the adults enjoyed the tea and coffee. The hosts were very accommodating and prompt to respond to questions. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The game room was awesome! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Amazing Family Gathering Space

This is a great place to have a family gathering. The heated garage and games were a hit since we had one of the coldest days this winter during our stay. The house is stocked with everything that you could imagine. Communication with the owners was excellent. I would recommend this house to anyone.

A great house and place to stay!

Our adult sons and their wives from Washington State and Wisconsin joined us so we could also visit my Mom, sister and her husband, and brother. The house is spacious, comfortable, with several rooms to gather, as well as a table that can seat 10, and a well appointed kitchen. We loved it, and would certainly stay there again.

Great Multi Family Getaway!

It is a beautiful home with plenty of room for everyone. We had 3 families stay and could have easily done 4. Lots of extras for everyone. Screened in porch was great for those who wanted to avoid bugs. To top it off, hosts were very quick to respond and very accommodating. Overall a great place and would go back in a heartbeat!

Family Vacation

The house and grounds are beautiful. The guys fished and played golf. We shopped! We cooked all our meals in an unbelievably stocked kitchen. We even made rhubarb crisp with the rhubarb from the garden! I fell in love with the town of Albert Lea - we hope to plan another family trip to this house in the future. Thanks so much Emily and Kevin.

Great house

We loved staying at Happy Days. The house was very clean. The master bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. I loved having the garage game room available, esp in case it rained. The kids fished off the dock and got a few nice bass. It was fun having access to the garden. We were able to have some asparagus and rhubarb. It was such a treat. The neighborhood was very quiet and really no traffic by the house. I would highly recommend staying at Happy Days.

Celebration for my Mother

This place was fantastic. We came back to Albert Lea for my Mother’s celebration of life. We were planning on renting hotel rooms until we found this place on VRBO. This place is a dream come true. Everything you need and more than enough room for adults and kids. The garage was the place the grandkids loved the most. So much for them to do out there. They loved the kid’s kitchen and so much plastic food was served to us adults. HA HA.. Overall, I would 100% rent this place again and I would 100% recommend this place.

Really a great place to stay!

First off, Communication with our hosts was outstanding. This home is not only visually very appealing, because of the logs and themed decorating, but so well setup! The kitchen/dining area became our hub of activity. We prepared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners there and everything we needed and then some was there, right down to enough silverware! We really admired that gorgeous, but not overly fancy dining table. The screened porch was right off the dining area and a fantastic spot for any time of day, especially great to start a summer morning with the morning shade filtered sun, prayer & books. The master suite is awesome, very comfortable bed. The huge family sectional sitting area downstairs. perfect for watching movies or hanging out. The grill on the patio off the lower level family room worked well and feeding a dozen people off the grill went well. We had a 16 month old child in our group and it was amazing, from the baby gates, to the the high chairs and crib, to the selection of strategically placed toys! The terraced back yard adorned with an array of flowers, hammock space, and firepit area is cool! The short jaunt down the channel to the main lake is very doable, and the boat launch was literally about 2-3 blocks away, very nice setup there. The garage was really cool, with the foosball and air hockey, workout stuff, bluetooth record player and toddlers kitchen. Plenty of toys for all ages in the garage, the teens liked using the kayaks. Kudos to you guys!
