Wonderful stay!

Great experience, lots of space for people to spread out. Hosts are amazing! They did a lot to make out stay easy and comfortable. We were there for a Christmas gathering so we didn't do too much outside. Some of our group did go ice fishing. Great experience, I would definitely recommend!

A Great Place To Stay

This place is awesome!! We went there with a group of adults for my husband's 40th birthday. The place was clean and Dorothy was amazing at communication. She gave me a tour of the grounds and pointed out all of the different areas: fire pit, fish house, dock and kayaks. Any questions we had were answered very quickly. They were very accommodating for a late check out. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. One of our guests said it was the best place we have stayed!

A Historic home where memories are created

This quiet large home nestled in a very beautiful area away from the city. On Madison Lake where you can just sit outside and enjoy all nature has to offer. My family and I stayed here for a weekend. The host was beyond accommodating! The house is very unique and holds a lot of character. They thought of everything you would need to make your stay easy. The host even left snacks and water for us. The kitchen is stocked up very well .The garage has a lot of games, pool table, ping pong table, every age can enjoy. It is cozy even though it is a very large home. We all felt so very comfortable and made memories that will last a lifetime. THANK YOU THANK YOU for a weekend we will never forget.

Family Christmas at the Log Inn

This home is full of character and charm. There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Dorothy is a very gracious and attentive hostess. This is by far one of the best homes that we have stayed in. The amenities were outstanding. There was a snack station, water bottles in every room, blue tooth speakers, puzzle books, and lots of reading books in every room. The kitchen is very well stocked. Everything you need to cook and feed a large group of people. Dorothy has with out a doubt thought of everything. We all enjoyed our vacation at the Log Inn and will definitely will go back again. As an added bonus we visited Jerry (the owner of the home) at his studio next door. It was very fascinating to learn the stories of how the house was built.

Great property with an interesting layout. Was perfect for our annual 4-generation family vacation. First floor BR was just right for out 75-ish seniors, and plenty of room upstairs for everyone else. Just a short drive to the beach for the girls to float on our tubes, and great fishing for the guys. Dorothy gave us a tour when we arrived, and Jerry, the owner/architect, lives nearby and Ray had great fishing tips. Jerry's artist gifts are evident throughout the property. Gracious and welcoming.

Fun Family Weekend

Great stay for an extended family (approx. 20 people). Layout is great. Lovely, self-made house. Interesting architectural juxtapositions. Love the artwork. House is clean in the ways that matter (clean beds, bathrooms, etc.) Some long-term maintenance (clean walls, matching light bulbs) are less so. Great property with super-interesting paths, water channels, bridges, etc... Vegetation obstructed lake view, which is great for wildlife, but less scenic for those who'd love to sit on the deck and watch the waves. Host is friendly and responsive. Lots of parking.

Graduation MNSU

Our family stayed at the Log Inn for my son’s college graduation. The number, set up, and location of the bedrooms within the house is perfect for multi-generational get togethers and the game room and outdoor games were wonderful. Every single thing you may need is available. The house was clean, however, there are areas that need attention - for example the sliding doors were not easy to use and screens were in disrepair. There was only one pool cue for the pool table

Grooms Dinner and Hosting

A fabulous place to host our grooms dinner as we got married at Ahavah Cottage! The venue only lets you have an hour so having a place to gather afterwards that was close and large enough to host a catered meal was important. Plenty of rooms, very large kitchen and everyone was pleased! Plus, how sweet to leave treats, wine, and a note for us! Our only note is that a little later checkout would have been nice, but not that big of a deal.

Large Family weekend

My entire family gathered here for labor day weekend and everyone enjoyed their stay. We had 16 people. There was more than enough room for everyone to have their own space and not feel crowded. Having most everything on one level was important as one family member has mobility issues and was able to function fully with the one bedroom on the main level. The kitchen had an overwhelming amount of dishes and supplies for meals. The garage was a fun hangout for our crowd and there were plenty of games indoor and outdoor to choose from. The property is beautiful with little trails to the lake. We weren’t able to utilize the lake front for swimming but found 2 beaches on the lake very close by either by boat or driving. The host was quick to respond to questions that popped up along the way.

Family getaway

The house was well equipped with supplies and cooking accessories. The game room was an excellent addition. The house fit our needs very well with all the bedrooms and bathrooms. We struggled with having enough hot water. Some of the walls and doors really need a scrubbing. The outside appearance really needs attention. The siding needs power washing and the landscaping needs some work.

Father's Day with family to take little ones fishing

We had multiple family members spending Father's Day with 2 fathers and 2 grandfathers. We wanted to get together to play games and get some fishing in for the fathers with their 10 children under 11 years old. They were able to fish from the docks and bridges. This house had everything we needed. Dorothy had many special amenities for us, making us feel welcome. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment that made serving meals easy. There was plenty of room for everyone. We had a great time.

Extended Family Holiday

Property was roomy & clean & well laid out for our group - beds were comfortable. Our host was attentive and welcoming - the lack of snow in December put a damper on our outdoor plans, but there was plenty of other things to do in the area. A great spot for our large group of grandkids, adults kids, teens & adults - game room was a great space & we made a lot of food in the kitchen!
