Perfect spot for a small class reunion.

The house was beautiful and roomy and a great setting for a reunion. A great spot to gather and talk, enjoy meals, and have options for shopping and exploring Nisswa or just lounging. We plan to do it again next year.

Great Time!

We had the best time here! The home was clean, well laid out for everyone and they had everything we needed (infant needs, kitchen items, games, kayaks and paddle board). Bon-fires were fun. The lake was excellent for boating, fishing and tubing! Thank you for everything.

Father's Day weekend

We had a wonderful time. We treated our two kids and their families on Father's Day weekend. The house had everything we needed. Grandkids loved the basement with the big tv and bunk beds, kind of like their own apartment. They went fishing off the dock and, in the kayaks, swimming and playing on the beach. We would stay here again.

Overall it was a great get away. we always pick a different place for opening weekend, and this is a top contender. Plenty of things for the kids to do. We had a bonus weekend as it was super hot and the kids swam like crazy. Plenty of room for our big group. Thank you again.

A group of six of us enjoyed a long fall weekend at the property. Beautiful views, nice house. Four main level bedrooms, two on each side of living area with a shared bathroom on each side. Large walkout lower level with bar, sectional seating and huge tv for movie nights. Second bedroom, bunk nook, and shared bath in lower level. Had a few small issues that the owner promptly responded to. Would stay again!
