Mid summer getaway up north

We had 9 total guests and there was more than enough space for everyone. The size of the property is awesome for yard games and enjoying the lake views. Swimming in front of the property was great along with use of the pontoon rental. Communication with Mitch was easy with quick response times. We would gladly stay again. Thanks....

Gem on Grand Lake

Every time we book this property, we have a blast! The transaction is always seamless. The property is very organized and pretty much has everything that you need for the perfect getaway.

Winter Hideaway

Our stay here was fantastic. Traveling with a group of 7 can be stressful but the house had plenty of room for all of us to spread out and have our own space. The kitchen was gorgeous and roomy and had everything you could need. Beautiful view of the snow and lake. It was a wonderful home away from home and we can’t wait to book again.

My favorite getaway

We have stayed here several times and it never disappoints. The house is perfect for a larger family like mine. Stocked with everything you could need, it feels like walking into my second home. Large enough that everyone can have their own space but with cozy living and dining areas that everyone can gather in. Mitch is always so welcoming and is quick to respond when I reach out. Can’t wait to get back there in the summer!

Absolutely Perfect Getaway

Beautiful home along with beautiful property. The main living space was perfect with the wood burning stove and amazingly comfortable furniture. The kitchen is a cooks dream with open space into the dining area. We loved the sound system. The deck was big enough for our large group to enjoy together.

Family Gathering

I was looking for a VRBO that could hold 14 of us, 10 adults, 4 toddlers and an infant. This house was perfect. Clean, roomy, the kitchen had everything you could imagine you might need. The rooms were spacious, we never felt like we were on top of one another. The host was very courteous and great to communicate with. Easy to find, beautiful location, very nice lake front property. Would love to stay during the summer and take advantage of the great outdoor space the property owners have set up.

Very nice stay; one of the best!

I have been coming to Grand Lake for over 60 years. I have probably stayed in 30 or so different cottages over the years This was one of the best, and perfect for the large family group I had for this trip. Mitch, the owner, is very responsive to whatever your need might be. The cottage is very well equipped, both inside and out. Everyone in my group had a wonderful time, and we were lucky with the weather, as it only rained one day during our stay. I would highly recommend this home to anyone with a large group! I hope to stay here again in the future.

July stay

Overall, was very good. Couple of suggestions for improvement include adding a load of gravel to the long driveway to eliminate the potholes; get new outdoor furniture cushions with covers and ask the renters to cover them each night to keep the cushions dry and mildew free. Few strong positives include nice sandy swimming, fire pit area, well equipped kitchen, nice seating area in kitchen and dining, nice docking capabilities for pontoon.

Awesome house!

Hockey coaches and their spouses remted this beautiful home the weekend of a hockey tournament. The house is huge and has the best supplied kitchen I have ever seen. We had 13 adults in our group and there were plenty of beds amd room available in the kitchen and living room. Because of snow, we didn't spend time outside, but it was a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view of the lake. We would definitely rent again if we have another tournament in the area.

Fishing with Friends

This was a great cabin for our group of 12 on our annual ice fishing trip. I wish I had this kitchen at my house! It had everything we needed and plenty of room to eat. The living room was great for watching all the NFL games on that weekend. The beds were comfortable and roomy. An added bonus was the garage. We were able to keep all our gear out there and not clutter up the house. Mitch, our contact, was very friendly and answered all our questions quickly. We all had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend this cabin to our family and friends.
