Perfect setting for family vacation.

Our second time staying here and once again - we had a great week! Love the cabin layout, setting and decor - add the deck, the yard and sandy beach and it is everything we needed for adults and toddler granddaughter. Lots of fun and good memories made!

Perfect getaway

We just wanted a stress free girls weekend getaway and we couldn’t have found a more perfect place! Beautiful place on the lake that we could relax in the hot tub or deck. We will definitely be coming back when we get a chance. I would also recommend it for a family vacation. It has everything you could need!

Another great stay at the Lazy Loon!

This is our third time in four years to stay at the Lazy Loon, and it won't be our last. Everything is great from the beds to the kitchen supplies to the AC. We love the sandy beach for our kids, and the private dock for our boat. Having it ~2 hours from the city and ~5 mins from Paul Bunyan Land just makes it perfect. Looking forward to next time!

Summer 2024 Stay

We stayed here in 2021 and liked it. Came back this year because we wanted to be someplace we knew would be good. The hosts made several improvements to the property and it continues to be a great place to stay and enjoy the lake.

Perfect cabin for a weekend getaway

This place was awesome and had all the amenities described. The view of the lake was gorgeous and was within steps of the patio door. We appreciated the hot tub and enjoyed it immensely. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need to cook with. We also enjoyed the game room. The communication with the owner went smoothly and was fast. We will be back!

Memorable family vacation

This property is exceptional. When you walk in, right away you see how clean and how well it is taken care. The view from the cabin to the lake Is gorgeous. The kitchen is very well equipped with whatever you need maybe. The owner reached out right away to make sure that we got in and we were happy with our accommodations.

Beautiful house on the lake!

Beautiful property that sits right on the lake! Very clean and had everything you could need which was super nice. Our grandson loved the wagon and the sandy beach! We enjoyed the beautiful view, kayaking, grilling, reading on the deck, movies and card games at night. Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Birthday weekend

My husband and I had a lovely birthday celebration at this cabin. The amenities were great. Love having a hot tub. Beautiful property. The cabin had everything we could have needed. Only tip would be to have curtains or some kind of window coverings on the slider doors for more privacy. We will be back. Thank you.

Great Place!!

Our stay here was great and we will definitely be back if we need a nice relaxing break. Our main reason for booking was the hotub! The only reason I would not give this place 5 stars was the comfort of the couch/furniture. It was outdated and in my opinion not comfortable. We spent most of our time when watching tv/shows in the master bedroom on a small tv as the couch was not ideal. Other than this the place was phenomenal!

Another Great Stay at the Lazy Loon

This was our second visit to the Lazy Loon, and we loved it just as much! It's the perfect combination of elements we look for: within 2.5 hours of the Twin Cities, no huge hill or long walk to the water/beach, public access available, and enough comfy beds to fit us and our guests. They are extremely generous with kitchen supplies and equipment, as well as use of their water toys like the paddle board, kayak, floaties and more. We did have a slight issue with a clogged septic at one point, but Brent responded immediately and someone was there to fix it within 15 minutes—so it was no problem for us! We're already talking about making an annual trip to the Lazy Loon as a family tradition, so long as they'll have us!

Lovely

We had a great small girls weekend at this property and loved it. The kitchen was spacey and had a large table and breakfast bar. TV room was spacey for us ladies to watch TV or just chat. Small game room in the back. Room in each bedroom and enough beds to cover the 5 ladies attending. Thing we loved most was the hot tub!! A few early setbacks included: VRBO not emailing us the Pin to get into the property, and thankfully the property owner answered immediately and was able to give us the code. We also arrived on Friday afternoon, shortly after a Wednesday night snowstorm and the driveway / parking space and sidewalks were not shoveled. Luckily some had melted, so it was manageable. We understood since it was later in the season, and there were shovels and salt, but wish it was plowed/shoveled. Overall, a great stay and will stay again!
