The cabin exceeded our expectations! It was not only cute and cozy but super clean! The yard had a ton of space and was very private! We didnât get much time for fishing chasing after our toddler but it looked like prime bass fishing from the dock. Would definitely stay there again! The hosts were really responsive and helpful!
Great cabin to spend time together, relax, and catch fish
Plenty of room in the cabin and outdoors. We watched loons, snapping turtles, and eagles and caught plenty of crappie and bass. Great fishing and fun lake to explore with kayaks. The yard was private and shady with lots of birds singing. The fire pit had plenty of wood provided. Kitchen was well stocked. Thoughtful extra touches. Public access to put our boat in, nice small towns, and Balmoral golf course nearby . Easy to follow directions provided and great communication.
Enjoyed my stay at this property, matched exactly with pictures and descriptions and what I was looking for. Met Julie, one of the owners, when I arrived - very pleasant. Great location, central to my travels - highly recommend.
Perfect location for a quiet getaway with the family. Loved the cabin, everything was clean and comfortable. The yard was great for yard games and chasing our toddler around.
Lovely cabin and everything provided as per the listing. Wonderful outdoor space. We enjoyed the fire pit, Kayaks and gas grill. When it rained a little, we played games that were provided. We had a pleasant and memorable stay.
The cabin provided the perfect peaceful getaway during a three day family reunion near Battle Lake. We thoroughly enjoyed the sound and sights of the loons with morning coffee. The comfortable bed and "Up North" feel of the cabin are very inviting!
This was the perfect spot for our family vacation this summer! The property was super clean and put together - exactly as the listing detailed. The fishing on the lake and proximity to different lakes and amenities was great! The Berndtâs were excellent to work with. Would love to return again!
The beautiful cabin was just what we needed. We enjoyed our time on the water and fishing every day. The nearby towns were a good break from the hot afternoon sun. Thank you for memories!
My daughter and her 4 children stayed at the cabin and there was plenty of sleeping room and a nice outdoor area for the kids to play. Excellent cabin and the owner was very accommodating . I visited one evening and was very impressed with facilities and the location. Will hopefully be able to rent again.
Second year in a row and loved it as much as last summer. The cabin and property is relaxing, clean and comfortable. The lake and surrounding towns are great! The hosts are prompt with communication. Our family canât wait to return!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cabin. The place was spotless and very well-equipped with everything we needed. All the appliances worked perfectly and the bed was very comfortable. The host was responsive to a few questions I had which was very nice. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking a place to have a relaxing vacation.
Nice lake, great setup. quiet. Living in a noisy world, it was nice to unplug. Everything was clean, organized and made it easy to move in and enjoy being at the lakes.
The cottage was very comfortable. It was more roomy than it appeared in the photos and was tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the linens and comforters were soft and cozy. The shower reached temperature right away and there were plenty of towels available. Everything was well-stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing our meals. The fishing was great!
Stopped in Fergus Falls for supplies before continuing to cabin. Well furnished with essentials. Plenty of open space, and fairly quiet.
We donât fish but did take the kayak out a couple times. Went hiking at Glendalough State Park where we happened upon an owl napping. Also took a self tour of Phelps Mill. Enjoyed grilling out each evening. It was a nice, low key time away.
The property itself was a great little getaway with a lot of privacy.
Pros:
Close to many lakes in the area for exploring
Quiet roads to allow safe walking/biking experiences
Good parking
Close to Gendolough State Park for canoeing/hiking
Use of kayaks was a great feature
Sleeping capacity was good for us
Firepit and parking were great
Snapper turtle came to the dock area which was fun to see and we caught small sunfish from the dock, even with the water being so low.
Cons:
Make sure to turn fans on right away to get air moving, especially on hot days. It does not have central air, window unit only
Does not have a beach area (which we knew) and the water was so low this year, making it impossible for us to keep our boat next to the dock
The wood for burning at the firepit are large logs--bring an ax if you want to split it
No WiFi (not a biggy for us--it does say that on the ad) but we would have used it for TV for when it rained.
