Great location

This was in a perfect location, great view from the deck, very close to paved cycling/walking trails and a very nice park with a beach and boat launch. Great deck. Larry was a good host, quick to respond when we needed something, good to deal with, and let us fish off of his dock. Also had great ribs at Forkless, which is nearby. Would stay again.

Cozy MIL Quarters at the Lake

Larry was extremely accommodating. There were a couple of items that needed to be fixed throughout my 2 week stay, and Larry had them fixed immediately. It is a quiet, serene location with direct access to the lake. Highly recommend!

Perfectly done

Just as in the description. Fantastic view from every window. Walk to parks, trails, beach, fishing, and boating. Seamless booking and every detail handled by owner Larry! Everything is close, but area appears around house is filled with nature. A+++

Pleasant get away

The apartment was very comfortable and clean. The best part of it was the view from the deck are seeing the lake and the birdfeeders with the number of various birds that came to feed. The manager Larry put out new birdfeeder every day so we can enjoy the colorful array of birds. The location of 42 and escape from the city but driving into the Twin Cities was not difficult at all so you could have the best of both worlds.

Pillow Kerfunkle

My Brother and I had a lovely time. Larry indicated that a pillow was missing from the day bed. Neither my Brother or myself removed any pillows from the property. Unfortunately, we did not count the pillows when we arrived.

Exactly What We Were Looking For

Great communication with owner. He made sure we had everything we needed. Location was wonderful. Beautiful view of the lake. Pleasantly surprised by the roominess. Target was just a few minute drive for groceries/snacks. I was worried that my kids were too noisy during their nightly Monopoly games but owner said we did not disturb him at all. If you are looking for a "rustic" hotel alternative, this is your place.
