Lakeshore Ossawinnamakee Cabin
Great cabin right next to the lake and public access. Very clean and comfortable.

Clean & Comfy Lakeview Getaway
Beautiful place easy to get to, very comfortable. Host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. And the house has a beautiful view of the sunset on the lake

2 Lake Cabins for the Price of 1 on Red Sand Lake!
We loved our extended stay at this cabin. It was the perfect place to bridge our move the area. It is cozy and comfortable with everything you need to feel right at home! The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. You are close to great restaurants, trails, golf courses and shopping! On a rainy day there is a garage full of games and activities to keep you entertained. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend to everyone we know coming to the area. Adam was very responsive to any questions we had.

Hot tub, fishing, pool table, scenery, privacy!
We had a great stay! The house had a lot of games, ping pong, hot tub, and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was nice and well stocked. It was a great retreat with friends. Thank you!!

GOLF-FISH-SWIM ~ Izaty’s Escape on Mille Lacs Lake
We enjoyed our stay at the Izaty's. We stayed in March before the season opens for the summer guests and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Everything was clean. The beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed the king size beds. We had a little difficult time finding places to eat since some restaurants were closed for the season. The kitchen did have cookware and appliances, etc., so we could have easily made a meal if we didn't go out to eat. Ellie and Brian did respond quickly before and during our stay. We definitely would stay here again.

Sullivan Lake AFrame LakehomeFree Pontoon Included
Very nice setting in the woods,clean cabin and was by the lake,very peaceful.

Castaway Cove
Awesome cabin with beautiful views and all the amenities

Lazy Fish Lodge
So much room and plenty of privacy for a large family. The large kitchen made it easy for gathering and cooking together. All necessary housewares provided for everything we had planned for meals. The local Caribou coffee cups were a nice touch! The bathrooms are roomy with plenty of towels provided. Love the bedroom/bed options and the beds are comfortable. On the water tranquility conveniently located just 15 minutes from everything you need in town. Communication with the host was top notch. We had a couple requests that were responded to immediately and kindly. We left knowing we will be back!

Red Dirt Digs
The place worked perfectly for our group. It was also convenient that the trail head was so close to the rental. Would book again

Centrally located! Lakes and trails abound!
Fourth stay at Ron and Mindy's in the last 8 months. The best place for a tired fisherman to kick back and relax. Hope these two host for a long, long time!

Large cabin on beautiful lake. 2hrs from mpls.
Our trip was a combination of a few things, biking, bit of work and enjoy some nature with a lake. Karen’s places surpassed our expectations and we will back again. She was also very responsive when we had questions and very flexible with our requests. What else could you wish for?

Perfect Hideaway (The Nest)
1. Favorite: The beds were super comfy… u will get a great night sleep any of the 4 beds that are here… we all loved it. The beds were amazing.. High-lights: 2. Good time snowmobiling and ice fishing on the lake. 3. Relaxing in the hot tub at 10pm, 20° outside with many stars in the sky…

The Boathouse - On the Whitefish Chain of Lakes
What a cozy, comfy spot to enjoy steamy coffee on the beautiful screened in deck porch overlooking lake, fish from the dock or enjoy a bonfire at sunset on a private little beach! Quiet, clean and relaxing- a perfect getaway! We left an item at The Boathouse and Rob had it in the mail the same day! We look forward to a return visit!

Crosslake Treetop Escape-In the Heart of Crosslake
Our stay at the Treetop Airbnb in the peaceful, fresh air of northern Minnesota was unforgettable. Nestled high above the ground with a bird's-eye view, this cozy log cabin-style retreat had everything we needed for the perfect getaway. The inside was spotless, with a warm rustic charm, a big TV, and a porch that gave us a stunning view of the full moon. We especially loved the fire pit, which made for relaxing evenings under the stars. The location was also ideal—close to great restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops. The host was amazing and made everything easy.

Fishing, Fun and Family Cabin on the Lake
Great place to stay for a quiet weekend. Colleen was a great host. Hopefully will book again in the future!

The River Lodge - a place for family & friends
Great gathering area/main living room for our women’s ministry to meet and use for our activities and sessions. We had enough rooms to accommodate all our guests. Thank you for a place to use and spend time with each other!

Hillcrest Manor Pontoon/Hot tub/Sauna
My wife and I booked this home for ourselves and 5 other couples (12 people total) and we had a great time! There was plenty of space for us all, and it was the perfect place to connect with our friend group. The main living room was spacious and comfortable to fit all of us at one time. We spent most of our time cooking together, playing games, and doing some hiking in the surrounding area. This home definitely enhanced our great weekend :) The sauna and hot tub are also great amenities, so we always had something to do! Dan and Mona Jo were responsive hosts and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We recommend booking this gem ASAP before somebody else does!

Cozy 4BR 2BA Cabin in Town near Trails. Fire Pit+
Can't say enough about this experience. 5-stars all around. The property had everything we need to feel and home and Michelle was an amazing, responsive and hospitable host. Great location to pop north to Yawkey or south to Cuyuna Brewing.

Lake Home w/Suite, Dock on Rush - Whitefish chain
very nice place to stay. a few more stairs (or steps) then expected (bad knee recent surgery) but we'll worth it. host is beyond responsive and helpful. would definitely stay again. front deck and watching the wildlife (deer and ducks) with My dad made the stay memorable!

*New! Adventure Headquarters Fire Pit-Soaking Tub!
Great place to stay for our group of friends looking to ride the trails and enjoy the entertainment in Crosby. Will definitely try to stay again if the opportunity arises.

NEW The Lake Haus -Nisswa, Lake front, Pool table
We were so happy with our stay at The Lake Haus for my birthday weekend with another couple. The house is so well set up to have multiple people. The downstairs is a giant rec room with this enormous comfortable sofa, tv and a pool table. The basement allows an entire separate space from the upstairs. This worked out for me because I am an early riser and I could be in a space without worrying about waking others up. I adored the furnishings. I am an interior designer myself so I am hard to please. They did such a great job with mixing the new with the log cabin feel. I was very impressed. We were able to make ourselves at home with all of the lovely amenities. We made dinner on the grill, had a fire and listened to records. It was perfect. We were talking about our next trip back. We were here in the winter but I can just imagine how amazing this place would be in the summer.

Boating, BIR, Golfing, Kayak, Snowmobiling Dream
Place was just as described and as clean as could be. Will stay again when we’re in the area!

Year-Round Hot Tub! Home in Breezy Point Resort
Stayed for a weekend. We loved how close it was to Breezy Point Resort restaurants/bars/coffee shop (we even walked it one night, 10mins or so). Great location from Crosslake Area and Nisswa/Brainerd area. We loved the inside space, so cozy and perfect for 2 of us. My husband used the hot tub 4 times so that was a big hit and awesome to have. The hosts were fantastic and responsive. Would definitely recommend staying here and we plan to come back in the future!

Beautiful On the lake, 3 BR, 5 beds, 2 BA home
Linda’s place was wonderful! Despite a small hiccup at check-in with the lock; Linda was a very communicative host and quickly corrected the small issue. The rest of our stay was fabulous and Linda’s place was exceptional. Small note- be sure to shut the lights off and enjoy a glass of wine or early morning cup of coffee from the amazing chairs overlooking the lake. The full moon and beautiful sunrise made our trip one of a kind!
