Great location
Left a note for owner on our departure; any issues were not that important. The location was wonderful: easy access to Itasca State Park and to Park Rapids. The dry firewood offered was greatly appreciated, especially after a downpour the night we arrived.

Peaceful place to spend your time
Great place to stay. Dock has a bench, fire pit area is outstanding and has lights. Kayaks were fun to watch the sunset on the water. Comfortable bed and the grill was clean and worked flawlessly. Deck is a great place to soak up the woods. All that and it’s only 20 minutes to Itaska.

Father/Son Weekend
Perfect getaway for our father/son weekend. Our 13 year old sons had a blast: swimming, fishing, boating, paddle boarding and kayaking. The dads had fun too. The house is in a quiet area but close enough to town for all the provisions. I recommend this house and would gladly return.

Wonderful
We loved the beauty of the modernized cabin, the furnishing, and the abundant provisions. The only drawbacks were the weedy beach and the breaker that kept turning the porch fans off

Quiet and relaxing
Had a great week in mid July with a couple of our teenage kids along. It wasn’t very hot, so my wife used the porch quite a bit with the windows open. Plenty of space to make a quilt without tying up the dining room table. Kids used the kayaks and paddle boards and caught fish from the dock. Only saw one other boat on the lake. Kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. Beds were very comfortable. Definitely worth a return visit if we’re in the area.
