Beautiful home and a relaxing stay!

We spent most of our time just going for walks with our dog and making fires in the firepit. It was a very welcomed and needed rest for us. The home was a beautiful place to stay and the snacks were a very appreciated surprise.

Great experience

House was just as described and more. It had everything we needed. We appreciate that it is dog friendly. We had a great week taking the dogs for walks, watching the snow fall, and seeing all the deer and swans. Would definitely go back.

Nice cabin but the well water was bad

The cabin & furniture was very nice & comfortable. It’s a beautiful place. However the well water had a very strong smell making it impossible to shower or drink.

Beautiful & peaceful getaway

This home was perfect for our family of 5. Beautiful view of the Mississippi River and plenty of room to relax. Loved that we were secluded yet close enough to all the things we wanted to do in Brainerd and Nisswa. Grateful we could bring our dogs as well. Very clean home with great amenities.
