Cozy, clean and right on the lake
We had a great time with my wife and two young kids. Norbert took us out on his boat for 4th of July and was an absolute blast staying here. Nice lake. Big, well maintained yard. Very clean place and excellent host. Very close to a decent restaurant and loved its proximity to the Twin Cities while still feeling like we were “up north”. Would recommend!

Great spot, spacious, clean
Nice place with lots of room for 3 or 4 adults, great lake view, peaceful and quiet. We had aggravating communication problems. VRBO messaging is lousy. They never responded to our first message sent when we booked six months out. They didn't answer phone calls, texting was the only method so there were many frustrating delays. They called and left a message on our home phone with the code to check in several days after we'd told them we were starting our trip so we never got it. We hated the policy that we had to either pay a ninety nine buck damage insurance fee or deposit fifteen hundred bucks six months in advance of the rental before we could go to the next screen to book the place. That's onerous for just a two night stay. I'm saying "bucks" because they won't let me put in dollar amounts – that's big brotherish! We are responsible senior citizens with no pets. We knew we wouldn't damage the place so the insurance is simply throwing cash away. That's a VRBO money grab. We opted for the crazy huge deposit but most folks don't have that kind of money to put on hold. We are fortunate we can. Most will just shrug and pay for damage insurance they don't need and won't use. It's now 13 days since we checked out and our deposit has not yet been refunded. The competition (you know who I'm talking about but big brother won't let me say it here) has a much better policy. They will charge your credit card to pay for any damages. Won't use VRBO again for this reason.

Beautiful and serene
Very lovely property on a beautiful lake. The hosts took us out on the boat for a two hour trip. That was very nice. We even pulled over and jumped out and took a little swim. We build a fire and went fishing off the kayaks. Highly recommend.

Peaceful Getaway
Norbert and Tami were the perfect hosts for our quick family getaway. Their rental was just what we were looking for on a beautiful, peaceful lake. Our boat ride was a highlight! If you are looking for a space to relax and enjoy picture perfect scenery, this is the place for you!
