About this house rental

Restored 1920s Farmhouse/Cabin on the prairie with access to beautiful Silver Lake. Escape to a quiet peaceful rest. Paddleboat, kayak, or take a leisure nature walk. Lake is stocked with walleye and several types of panfish. Watch bald eagles, Canadian geese, blue heron, deer, and other friendly critters. Stargaze away from city lights against a black velvet sky while bullfrogs serenade. Full kitchen with keurig coffee, French press, and all amenities. This retreat is rustic with original oak flooring. comfortable and relaxed. Lot is mostly mowed with some natural prairie grass for effect.
Queen bed in Master bedroom. 3 singles (bunk beds and twin in two other bedrooms. 1 1/2 baths with tub/shower combo and comfy couch in living room. Please be aware this is an old farmhouse on what was once prairie next to a lake. We do our best to keep things clean but it's not antiseptic. Things can get a bit dusty if it's windy and you're liable to find insects and critters on the property. Think Little House in the Prairie vs the Hilton:)

Ring camera installed pointing toward driveway from front porch only for security reasons for guests and property.

This house was perfect for our quick weekend getaway. It was very hot when we were staying there so the host brought in extra room air conditioners which was very appreciated. We accidently blew a fuse and couldn't find the breaker, contacted the host, and he responded immediately! Very good communication!

6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
We arrived in the middle of July, it was a hot day with high humidity. The temperature inside the home was 89 degrees, the air conditioning unit downstairs was not working properly. The issue was not rectified until the next day after messaging Kent that we would be leaving asap the next day, it was unbearable. We lost a whole day of our retreat and spent the first night looking for a new place to stay, taking breaking in the car to cool off and no refund was offered. Kent did come around 9 am the next day with an additional a/c unit. This improved the temperature dramatically and we chose to stay. Kent was apologetic and very responsive. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you have toddler sized children. The coffee table downstairs has exposed nails in which my niece was hurt on.My overall impression of the host - excellent and responsive.
