Best one yet
We had a large group stay at this place. It was amazing! The kitchen was stocked very well; the best stocked kitchen I have seen! They had everything. Lots of space for us to be in and plenty of sleeping space. Good parking too. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it.

30th Birthday Celebration
We used this property to celebrate my husband’s 30th birthday with some of his close friends and their families. There were six adults and four children. We had such a good time and loved the house! It has a great location, is super clean, and has more than enough space for a group our size. We cooked food in the house every night and there was a great supply of pots, pans, plates, etc. additionally we were super close to coffee shops and restaurants. We will rent again next time we want to spend a weekend in breezy point!

Family Christmas
This property has a beautiful view of a great fishing lake. We enjoyed both. It was large enough for our whole family to stay with a spacious kitchen and living room. The pool table was a huge hit! It is well stocked with everything you need. And they also had it decorated for our Christmas celebration!

Perfect getaway
Do not let the past reviews scare you!! We stayed up here for my bachelorette weekend. It was the most PERFECT weekend I could have ever asked for. We were skeptical about the sleeping arrangements but everyone had a bed to sleep in (15 of us). Judd always made sure we had everything we needed! It was quiet and so spacious. We had a fantastic weekend and can not wait to come back!!

This is our second time at this house. We like it so much that we’re going back again next year. Well appointed; had everything we needed. Only bad thing about this place are all the steps up and downstairs. The ages of my friends are making it a little harder on them. But they’re really needed to accommodate so many bedrooms.

Deceptive photos of actual property
Photos of accommodations are from several years ago. Necessary repairs, renovations, painting, staining and deep cleaning are needed. Stocking bathrooms and kitchen of essential items is needed. Safety for children and infants was of concern. This was once a beautiful home with a nice floor plan.

Disappointment
The photos of the property we thought we were renting were taken a long time ago as the home itself both inside and out were in terrible condition. Inside ripped screens and a dishwasher not fastened. Bunk beds missing pieces thus making them unsafe. Dirty refrigerator and the electric fry pan was never washed by a previous guest. Outside so much overgrowth of weeds and brush you could not see out of the lower deck . Fire pit full of ash and rocks and we needed to clean it for an hour before using it. Junk all over side of house kicking up snakes as we walked past. Basement toilet not working properly. Upstairs shower squealing this waking up those still sleeping. Walls had finger prints and patches all over. Tree growing in outside landscaped area. Thistles everywhere trying to get down the steps. Just can’t find any positive words as it was an entire mess. Family together time was the only thing that saved this time away. Very expensive for a very poorly maintained property. We would like the deposit credited Back and half of our stay cost. It was utterly horrible. Rules about AC so We had to text in order to change the setting. Mentioned in text to not leave negative feedback and then how hard it is to get repairs done when there are guests all the time. Just so disappointed in what in what the real situation was. No dock either. Photos show a dock and there isn’t one. Needed to rent slip at Breezy Point. Why show a dock of there isn’t one?

Severe Neglect
Disappointing is an understatement. This place is in desperate need of repairs. The pictures are from 6 years ago, nothing current. Most pf our family left early due to the filth and hazardous environment. We had to finish the laundry when we arrived that was left in the washer & dryer so we had enough towels. The place is filthy, the walls....not even sure what to say about the walls. Kitchen fridge froze all the produce. The dishwasher is even anchored down, moves around. Shower curtain in the master is dirty, right next to the toilet. And liner is full of yellow slime. At least 3 outlets are missing covers, no safety covers on any of the outlets for children. The dock in the pictures in a public access down the road. The landscape is full of trip hazards with low branches. The upper back deck has several loose railing boards. This rental looks as if it has not had any upkeep since it was purchased. And the water heater is pumping out hot water at 150 degrees, its neglect beyond imagine. The AC ran and squealed 24/7. We were thankful for the safety gate and the high chair. The view was beautiful and they neighbors were nice, I wonder how they feel about the nearly abandoned property. Never would we stay here again.

The property is in need of repair both inside and out. The living room furniture is old and soiled. We left the noisy fans on the entire time because roof leaks were being dried out. The location was good, and the house worked well for a family.

Spacious but tired
The house was very spacious and it definitely provided the room we needed for our group. The house however was not overly clean. Upon arriving, several of the beds were not neatly made. They looked like they had been already slept in and the covers just pulled over. After thoroughly inspecting, it seemed that the bedding was clean, just poorly made for guest arrival. Most every surface was dusty and there were many cobwebs throughout. It seemed also that there must have been several water leaks in the house at some point. The house has potential but needs some consistent deep cleaning and TLC.

Hey Kristi, Thank you for your feedback. We are constantly trying to improve our guests experience and feedback is very important to us. I assure you all the sheets are washed between guests and I've asked my cleaner to be a little more neat about making the beds and wiping down surfaces. I do apologies for cobwebs also. They seem to never end. As noted in my previous messages I did have ice dam issues in the past and am in the process of doing the repairs. Thanks again, Judd

Nice winter getaway
Location was nice, given we were one house back from the lake. We had a view of the lake, and being winter the trees added to the lakeside view. You of course do see the home on the lakeshore, but this house is on a hill above it. It was so much nicer then all of us staying at a hotel.

My wife has wanted a "Hallmark Christmas" you know a beautiful cabin in the woods with awesome views, a fireplace to enjoy, and plenty of room so our whole family could come and spend some time together during the holidays and enjoy having a large area to entertain but also their own bedrooms for privacy. Well this place sure fits that description, the house and location are great, Judd is awesome to work with, and the local towns are close enough to go enjoy some local shopping or to pick up some quick supplies. We had a great holiday and so many memories around this beautiful cabin in the woods. This is an awesome place and one we will surely try to visit again. Thank you

Best Accommodations near Breezy
After staying at several other locations, both private and associated with Breezy resorts, it was time for a cleaner option. We hit the jackpot with this property. It was everything we wanted and as advertised. Clean, roomy and comfortable. Manager was very attentive to our needs. We loved it. (8 retired women golfers/friends).

This trip is our yearly get together with mom and siblings. There was the need for 5 bedrooms which it did accommodate. More bathrooms would of been nice but we were aware of situation when renting the property. As stated in previous reviews the outside area could use a clean up. The stairs down to lower part of property could use some work particularly the bottom half. Judd was very helpful in a couple situations and responded in a timely manner.
