It's a beautiful home. It has everything you would need, spotlessly clean. A sweet welcome basket greeted us. The dock was great and easy to dock our boat, great bumper system. The orange chairs on the dock were very helpful finding the place after first launching the boat. (they were shown on the VRBO pictures) The boat landing up by the dam was very nice, very well maintained, and easily accessible to dock our boat. There are several places to eat on the lake. We ate at the Park Island Resort just up the road by the dam (our favorite)....their smoked pork pizza was wonderful and their staff is very friendly and enjoyable. Also ate at DJ's Dockside (just across the dam) and their smash burgers were wonderful and the staff also very nice. The fishing wasn't great though it was 90's all week in the middle of July, big boat presence always straight out from the cabin by the visible sticks/rocky spot. The home was only a 5 min drive from town, Marketplace foods is huge, has everything you need.....food, liquor, pharmacy, Caribou Coffee. And a bait store just up the street. You won't be sad if you rent this beautiful home. (If anyone has any mobility issues, the walkout to the lake isn't as flat as the picture looks, it is on an incline somewhat plus 16 stairs to get to the top main level. Us two old geezers made it up and down ok but just putting that out there for someone that might have difficulty)

Excellent views! Lovely home with everything you need to cook meals, including an adorable coffee bar. We enjoyed using the kayaks,too! We don’t have little kids anymore but there were tons of kids water toys, playthings, plastic kitchen ware, games available.

This home and property were amazing! My mother in law and I couldn’t find dirt in the house if we tried. Nothing was an afterthought. Everything was provided with the direct intent to make us feel at home, and we did!
