Great vacation spot for families
We really enjoyed our stay! We had children ranging ages 4-14, parents, and grandparents. There was something for everyone! The lake is small and quiet. The kids could fish off the dock. The beach is large and sandy. The water is a little weedy, but with enough clear patches that the kids didn’t mind. The lake water was low this year so the swimming area was probably smaller than usual. We also couldn’t use the pontoon because the water was low but we still had plenty to do. The kayaks/canoe were great and we loved being able to wake up, sit by the lake, and watch the loons. Would be great for stand-up paddle boarding if you bring your own! We also enjoyed stargazing in the back yard at night by the fire pit. The home is clean and well-stocked. The dining table in the kitchen is little small, so we brought a folding table to have additional seating outside which worked well. It has two refrigerators which was so helpful for a large group. We used the grill one night. Parents will love that you can easily watch the kids by the dock/water from the kitchen windows and deck. Lots of space around the home on all sides for kids to play outside, too. The basement level gets very cool with AC, upper levels are comfortable. Easy 1.75 hr. drive from Mpls/St. Paul. We had a great time on day trips to Kathio State Park and Paul Bunyan Land (less than 30 mins away). Small stores to grab supplies with 6 mins drive. I would highly recommend this location. Thanks for letting us visit!!
