Perfect family getaway

We had a wonderful time at the Laidback Loon. The home had everything we needed. The shallow lake was ideal for our grandsons (ages 1-1/2 and 3-1/2) and they loved running around on the back lawn area. Thank you for a great visit!

Perfect place to decompress

This was our first vacation in years and was exactly what we were looking for! The house was clean, quiet and not far from all the thing on our list. Wished we’d of stayed longer! We saw loons and even had an eagle land in the backyard to enjoy a fish. Totally recommend this place and would absolutely stay again if we were in the area.

Great cabin with easy check-in process. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed, and the living room view was spectacular. We enjoyed cornhole in the spacious yard, sitting on the dock listening to the loons and getting out on the pedal boat. We did have several storms roll through but made the best of the sunshine while we had it! We liked having several bathrooms available and the ample sleeping spaces as well. Highly recommend!

Great time at the Laid Back Loon

We stayed at the Laid Back Loon for a family vacation and had a great time. My boys loved tubing on the lake and the fishing off of the dock kept us busy for hours. We are looking forward to staying here in the future. The home was great, very clean, comfortable beds, and enough bathrooms and showers for all 5 of us. The home is also close to grocery stores, so you can take a 15 minute drive and stock up for your stay.

Outstanding Cabin

This cabin has everything we were hoping for and more. It combines all of the things you would want in a stay at the lake, inside and out: lakefront access for swimming, a yard for our grandkids to play in, and beautiful views of the lake from the big windows. The cabin is spacious, with enough room for a family. The owners have thoughtfully provided necessities in the kitchen and throughout. It was a wonderful stay!

Sweet Lake Views

Immaculately clean, thoughtfully decorated, with comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, located in a quiet spot, yet with easy access to the metro area. One note: grandma and grandpa could not navigate the 10 or so steps down to the patio and lake (no handrail). Our hosts were very timely with communications and information. A great stay!
