Lots of amenities & well stocked

A very clean and well stocked house on a nice lake! We had a wonderful stay- there's lots of room in the house, a spacious yard front & back, sandy beach, paddle boards, kayaks & a rowboat. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals and the house is in a great location- Gaylord is close by with grocery stores and restaurants and there's lots of golf courses close by. We really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful!

The property is super cute. Love the walkway to the house with all the flowers and decorations. The lake is beautiful. Perfect views from the house and deck. Very nice firepit and seating. The house was clean and cozy. Much bigger than we expected. Pictures dont do this place justice. We had 8 people and never felt crowded. Plenty of seating in the living room. Cozy pillows and blankets available with a nice big tv. It came in handy for the one rainy day we had. Everything was perfect! We plan on staying again. Thank you Gail!

Great vacation

This was the finest vrbo property we have ever rented. It is spacious, well appointed, and has a beautiful view of Heart Lake. The waterfront is perfect for all activities. The hosts could not have been nicer and answered our every question and need. In fact, my family is already pressuring me to rent this property for next summer.

Family Vacation

This is a beautiful home on a peaceful lake, we enjoyed total relaxation, listening to the sound of the calling loon was amazing! The home provides every comfort needed for a perfect summer family vacation! Sunny beach, shaded deck, firepit, kayaks and paddle boards. After a day of play on the beach, sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. Two bathrooms make it extremely convenient; plenty of room for everyone around the large kitchen table and relaxing in lazy boys for a movie at night. Thanks for a wonderful week!

A great getaway on Heart Lake!

My family, and I loved the week we spent at Gail's place on Heart Lake. The house itself is great, very comfortable for all of us. Every amenity you might need was taken care of, and everything was exceptionally clean and tidy. Outside we enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake, and the beach. When the weather cooperated we swam, and paddle boarded (or attempted to... More falling then actual paddling haha). Overall we totally recommend staying here. The house is great, the lake is great, and Gail was awesome to work with. Hopefully we'll be back!

Far exceeded my expectations!

Amazing property! The cottage was SUPER clean and had everything we needed to set up home for a week. All of the modern appliances & washer/dryer to make things easy. It was decorated in classic cottage with a beautiful mix of vintage pieces and modern comfortable. Lovely quilts decorated the walls along with family photos. Very homey. Close to town to grab our groceries and to visit The Call of the Wild on our 1 raining morning to see the "wildlife" and of course buy some fudge. Thank goodness for the AC since our week was HOT Beds were plentiful and very comfortable. Everything was clean and fresh. Lots of clean towels in both bathrooms. Livingroom has lots of comfy seating and fantastic views of the lake and also the giant TV for evenings in. The star of the show was definitely the lake and beautiful sandy beach. My special needs adult daughter was easily able to navigate to the beach area and the gentle slope into the water made swimming/floating easy. The water was crystal clear and warm (but cool enough to be refreshing.) She also enjoyed building sandcastles in the clean sand. We were on the beach and in the water every single day. We watched a loon right along shore daily (who made sure the geese stayed away,) lots of tiny toads, a speedy bunny, a heron (?,) and on our last day saw an eagle grab a snack right out of the lake. Check out was easy with clear instructions but of course it came way too soon. We are already planning our return trip next year.

Our second visit to this perfect vacation spot. Super clean and well appointed. The beach area is definitely the star of the show. Sandy beach area and crystal clear water just steps from the cottage. We swam and built sand castles every day. Saw a good variety of wildlife too…fish, loons, chipmunks and squirrels, tiny toads and a flyover by a beautiful bald eagle. Easy trip to town to stock up on groceries for our week.
