Great family vacation!
This was an awesome spot for our family vacation! The house was clean and supplied with the basics but the best part was the outdoor space. The water toys provided hours of entertainment and the bonfire space was perfect for relaxing in the evening.

Quiet setting
Our family had a good time. The place is clean and it is a very quiet setting. Having more wood available for campfires would be nice so we don’t have to haul any from home.

Nice lake house!
Comfortable lake house on a great fishing and swimming lake near Brainerd attractions. It is a little drive to to the nearest town (about a half hour) so come prepared. There is also public water access on the far north end of the lake for bringing your own boat. Our group was 4 adults and 5 children ranging from ages 3-11 and everyone was very happy with the stay.

Quiet relaxing getaway
We had a great time at the cabin! The water toys were so much fun and the kids loved using them all day. The lake was very quiet and very little traffic. The cabin was very clean and cozy. The games and movies were nice but we didn’t use them much cause the lake and weather were beautiful! The walking trail across the street is a must see! Great place and highly recommend!

Great family vacation
The outdoor amenities are top notch! Lake was great for swimming and boating. The lake home was clean and looked just like the pictures. Kitchen isn't as stocked as we like. Definitely need more glassware when the cabin sleeps 8. Overall GREAT place! We will be back!

A great family and friend getaway
We all had a great time! The sand area was a huge hit with the kids. We caught lots of fish. We hoped to be able to use more of the water toys provided but we hit a few colder/windy days. The waking trail across the street was a highlight of our trip that we may have missed had the last days been warm! Overall, the property was great and layout was perfect for our needs. We plan to stay again!

Family Fun
Beautiful property, fantastic lake that doesn't have hardly any traffic. Water toys are so much fun. Peaceful relaxing vacation. Couldn't ask for any more. Be aware of the mosquitoes they don't mess around...bring lots of bug spray(they spray the property, would be afraid what it would be like if they didn't).

Home on the lake
We had a very relaxing time at this lake house. The water toys were put to great use! So thankful the toys were there to use. The house was very clean and spacious for our little family. The back deck was so relaxing to drink coffee and watch the lake from, I even saw two humming birds staring at me:) However there were many mosquitoes in the evening that it was impossible to enjoy our fire. That was ok though because we were able to watch a movie all together. Enjoy our stay in Minnesota.

Secluded and quiet
We had a very peaceful and quiet time. The home fit all 9 of us in our family easily, although we had to be a little creative to get everyone around the tableat meal times. Beds and furniture were comfortable, and the main level with the 2 patio doors looking onto the lake was such a nice view! The home, though close to other properties, feels secluded and private as trees separate the homes. Another review commented on the distance to towns/shopping, and it does take about 20 min to reach the nearest town. The lake was quiet, and during the week we only saw 2 or 3 boats each day. We definitely used the kayaks and paddle boat to their full potential. Our kids enjoyed swimming by the dock. It is a gradual slope in the water, so kids could touch long past the end of the dock. I enjoyed the quiet walking trails, but definitely needed bug spray for those! Overall it was a relaxing and peaceful stay!

Perfect lake getaway! Highly recommend you book now!
My wife and I wanted to take a week and just unplug from the world and that is exactly what we got staying at this wonderful property. We spent hours using all of the water toys that were at our disposal. The lake is not busy and is ideal for paddle boarding or kayaking. Plenty of property space from the house to the lake/private dock to play or simply sit by a fire. The house has everything you need to just relax, watch a movie, or play board games. Make sure you do stock up on groceries and supplies or you'll have to make a 30 minute trip one way. Mobile phone service, AT&T and Verizon, are strong but we found that Verizon data was slow and practically useless. The house has a Verizon hotspot but you'll not get much from it. While it was just the two of us, this house is ready to take on a tribe! If you have kids, they will thank you for selecting this property. We will definately rent again next year.

Nice secluded location on Ross Lake
Overall we enjoyed the stay. The kitchen was well appointed, containing a very nice collection of pots and pans and food storage containers. It could have used some more food prep materials such as mixing bowls and spatulas/spoons. The beds were firm, but comfortable. The linens provided were more than sufficient for our stay. The water toys were used a lot! The kayaks, paddle boards and lilly pad were great to have, especially when a fishing lure got caught in the weeds. The lake bottom around the dock was very mucky, nearly stealing sandals off feet. The location around the dock is not great for swimming, but the sand beach would be sufficient for small kids. The lake is reasonably quiet with lots of pontoons, but not a lot of speed boats. Bring bug spray because it has been a long time since I've had to deal with such an influx of mosquitoes - unbelievable amount of bugs. The listing mentioned there may or may not be firewood - there was very little available. There was a neighbor advertising free firewood, so we grabbed some from them. The listing also noted that there was a charcoal grill available, but there wasn't one on the property. The gas grill worked fine, but we had planned some meals around the charcoal grill. Understand if you book this place that it is about a 30 minute drive to Aitkin or Cross Lake - Emily is about 20 minutes away. If you need something from a store, plan to have to travel. Overall it was a good stay.

Beautiful Location
This was a great place for our family vacation. We had 4 adults, a 3 year old & 10 month old twins. The kitchen was set up well, there was plenty of room inside and outside. Nice little beach area for little kids to "swim" and the lake was wonderful. We had pretty good luck fishing and the bay we found for swimming was great. Not a super busy lake at the time we were there, so that was a plus! Would definitely recommend this location to others!

Peaceful
If you are looking to relax on a quiet lake this is the place. Very beautiful lake where you can swim, fish or kayak. Neighbors are very friendly. The walking trail across the street is a lot of fun, but you definitely need bug dope. The water toys and equipment are super fun. It's nice that they rake a little beach area so it isn't so weedy. We didn't have the best weather, some days were rainy, but we had games to play indoors. The outdoor firepit looks nice, but it was too rainy and windy for us to get a chance to use it. The house was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. Plenty of space for a peaceful, relaxing beautiful vacation.
