"Would be an amazing place to stay in the summer. The guest house is very cold in winter- had to sleep on the couch in the main house it was so cold (so I'd not plan on those two extra bedrooms / 1 bathroom in the winter time for space.) Fabulous place for summer, however. "

"Overall very nice place. Clean, plenty of towels, comfortable seating area.Listing was off, saying one room had 4 beds and another had 2, but actually had 3 in one and 1 in the other. There were also big black ants, mostly on the floor in the living room. There was no info at the house about what to do when leaving with garbages, towels or stripping the beds. So we just guessed. I would stay here again, nice place."

Randy and Sandy were incredibly easy to communicate with, the beds were comfortable, everything was so clean, the kitchen had everything you needed, and the backyard/hottub/lake view was incredible. Great location too to Crosby and Brainerd. "

"I was in town for a week for work. The location was perfect, I could bring my dog, the host was polite and quick to respond to questions. Accuracy of listing was a 3 only because it sleeps 4 but there are only 3 kitchen chairs and one bowl for eating in the kitchen; it worked for me but may be an issue for a group of 4. The couch desperately needs to be replaced but is usable. I would stay here again."

"The property was in a nice quiet neighborhood and right on the lake. The unit was fairly clean except the random trash hidden in the couch cushions and the occasional hair tie that was found in the bathroom or next to the bed. The sheets and towels were clean and the kitchen was as well. It had everything we needed. It was nice to have accessed to a washer and dryer and a garage to store some of fishing stuff. We were sucked on the lake but oh well we were able to get to other lakes within a...

"We came from Bemidji and met our family that lives in the Twin Cities for a great weekend away. It was a perfect location for us all. We watched our daughter at a dance competition then spent the rest of the weekend hanging out spending time together. The house was large and inviting, giving us enough space to all feel comfortable, yet with a warm and cozy feeling. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed. Overall, a wonderful experience and stay. Before we left, we all agreed...

"First off, the staff is amazing. So friendly even when (due to a flight delay) I arrived super late. And when my parents were having issues with their room, they did everything to make it right even though they were completely full and busy with a big wedding party. The location is great and the pool and fitness center are open until midnight. The only thing I’d “dock” some points on is some of the items in the room are a little dated and worn out. I had to work one of the days out of my room,...
