Great place!

The house was wonderful, plenty of room for each of us to have our own space, but lots of areas for us to enjoy together! The location of the property was not far from places to eat and enjoy :)

Our stay here was very nice. It was clean and spacious. The only negative was the highway noise when we were on the deck.

Great place to stay

We had a great time as a family. The place was clean, beds comfortable, as well as the seating areas in the living room and downstairs. We enjoyed a fire one night roasting hot dogs and smores. Thanks so much for the firewood. Thank you for a nice stay.

Very nice property

We had a very comfortable stay. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The space wasn’t quite as clean as I hoped. There was sticky stuff on the counter, crumbs on the dining table, and some leaves and pine needles on the floor. I cleaned it up and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Fun and Relaxing by the Lake

Our family had a great time unwinding at this home. From time sitting on the deck or by the water, to kayaking and playing games on the big kitchen table, this home was the perfect spot to kick off our summer!

Wonderful Spot!

Already talking with friends about coming back next year. Great spot, great location, great water access (we swam and kayaked), great host. The only tiny comment is that it is close to 371 and you can hear a bit of traffic. Not a big deal, and we’d come back again, but it is there. All good!

Family wedding in Nisswa

Our family needed a place to stay for a family wedding happening in Nisswa. It was only 4 miles away so it was convenient to the Catalyst event space. My grandkids loved the VRBO..especially the ping pong table! Plenty of space for the entire family of 10. Would stay again!

Enjoyable time at the lake

We enjoyed the property and amenities such as the dock and kayaks. House is very well kept. We caught fish and watched a family of loons. Traffic across the bay is slightly noisy but you get used to it. Had an excellent time. We would stay again.

Family Christmas weekend

The property was easy to find and looked just as the photos had advertised. The downstairs beds were not very comfortable but we made it work by having some people sleep on couches. Would have been nice to have extra pillows and blankets available for the beds. It was clean and the host was very responsive! Beautiful views too!

Wonderful Family/Friendly House

The house is very nice and clean. We enjoyed the backyard fishing and fire pit. The house is nicely located in the middle of some nice cities. The air didn't work when we got there, so it was very warm, but Emily had someone out there right away to get it taken care of.

Exceed Our Expectations! It Deserves 10 Stars!

We are are a national auto racing series and rented the property for our staff supportin an event at nearby Brainerd Int'l Raceway. This property was very well appointed, the host was a delight to work with (very responsive), home was equipped with everything we needed and more and is so conveniently located on a very gorgeous and peaceful lake. We will for sure be back!

Great location

The home was very cozy. Great location. A good get away for a family. The only suggestion I would have is a humidifier on the lower level. There was a musty smell. Also It seemed the towels sat in the washer for a long time before drying and had an order. I would recommend this property.

Nice home but lake is lacking

My kids and I enjoyed our stay. We were happy with everything except the lake, it was full of lily pads and weeds all around the dock The area where the provided kayaks can enter the lake was also full of lily pads and weeds. We expected that the kids would be able to jump off the dock and swim, but this was not the case. Based on the amount they charge per night, we expected the lake to be nicer than it was!
