We stayed here with a big group of family/friends (4 couples and 12 kids ages 4 - 14) and had room for everyone plus plenty of activities to keep all of the kids entertained for a long weekend. The pool was a big hit and the lake is perfect for paddle boarding and kayaking + a great scenic view!
Our family had a wonderful time at this property. It had everything we wanted and more. We used the kayaks and lake and spent a lot of time in the pool.
A big thank you to our host for offering such a great place.
This was our second time staying at this awesome house. Even though we didn’t have much luck ice fishing we had a great time at the house! Everything was great and had good communication with the owner.
Had a guys ice fishing trip here and it was a great place on a cool lake. I hope to be a returning guest for the winter and try to catch an opening one summer as I see it books quickly for those months.
The property was very nice, rooms were spacious and lots of gathering space. Unfortunately we ran into some issues with the pool and air conditioning but Victor was very responsive and worked with us to make it right.
Great time had by all. Lots of yard for kids to play. Large driveway for cars or kids to ride scooters on. Kitchen and eating area had lots of room for all 14 of us to eat together. No problem with sleeping areas, plenty of beds. Pool was a huge hit, lots of time spent at the lake fishing.
This house is perfect for our group of 12 women aged 70+. We loved all the hiking trails nearby and sitting by the fire pit in the evening. The mattresses were the only issue because they are very thin for the beds. The host is easy to get ahold of and responded to any problems we encountered. We can’t wait to return!

Overall Peaceful
The home was beautiful and very peaceful. Being able to jump in the lake was relaxing. The pool was not open yet so I wish that we had booked later in the summer as it opens Memorial Day. Host was very responsive, had some trouble getting in to the home at first but the host worked hard and fixed the problem and created a lovely stay for all 14 of us. Would stay here again.
Wonderful Cottage For Extended Family Get-Togethers
Our planned Christmas get-together just wrapped up and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this "Christmas" cottage!! Plenty of room for all 4 families for sleeping, playing, eating, playing games, making crafts, and a nice location for getting outside for fun times there too. We enjoyed the use of an extra refrigerator, and for the garage as an extra indoor play area. The caretakers of the house were very friendly and helpful with any house concerns that we had. Thank you for allowing us to use your Christmas cottage for the special time we had there to make memories for our whole family!!!
The house was as advertised, and perfect for large groups. The property and surrounding area is beautiful. Our group of ice fishermen did well on McCollum Lake, be ready to move to locate the fish, but there is quite a variety of fish for an inland lake. Walleye, Perch, Bluegill, Crappie, Sunfish and Pike were all caught. The locals on the lake were very friendly. Our group has been renting properties for fishing trips for years, and I am confident in saying this home offers some of the best perks (Numerous beds, plenty of space, plenty of parking, beautiful area, good fishing). Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, especially for those who need room for a large group.
A serene property, plenty of room to spread out for bigger groups, quiet lake with kind neighbors and kayaks that I highly recommend, house was clean, kitchen was stocked, beds were plenty comfy, movie theater, what more can I say? I will be recommending this place to friends and family. The only down side was the lack of grocery stores close by, but the gas station in town has plenty of essentials and the owner did a great job of warning us ahead of time and providing information on the closest stores, so we were easily able to plan around this, and it was not a problem.
We had 14 ladies in our group. Loved pulling up to the house and seeing the beautiful fall color of the leaves. The house sits up on the lake. There's a nice walking path around the property. The house is plenty big with 14 of us, we never felt as if we were on top of each other. We did have a few ladies enjoy the kayaks that were provided. The kitchen set up is perfect for a large group. There was room for even more people. We would defiantly like to comeback and enjoy the pool. The Fairview Family Restaurant has the BEST apple fritters.
Interior of the home was really great for our large family! Lots of towels and lots of kitchen supplies. Unfortunately the AC unit did not work even after several attempts of the owner to have it fixed during our 5 day stay and he was willing to refund a small portion of our rent.. The extra fans that were supplied were helpful. Extras we did not know about but enjoyed were the use of 4 kayaks and 2 cornhole sets . . . plus the driveway area was big enough for a make shift pickleball court! Having a pool right next to the house was really great and the kids loved their pool time however the deck is aged and was in need of cleaning when we arrived. The deck surface needs some repairs along with the fixing of two of the three latches on the exit doors.
We had an absolute wonderful time! There is SO much space it was perfect for 17 of us. Tons of kitchen tools to use. I didnt even find them all until the last day. Kids (teenagers and young adults) had a blast sledding (sleds were found in garage) down the hill out back and down the driveway. Large garage (3 car) for letting all their winter toys dry off. The only bad thing was that the ceiling leaked in the basement (between the 2 bunkbeds) from the main bathroom (shower) on the main floor. That caused us to not use that shower but there were 2 other showers to use so that wasnt a problem. (That is the only reason i gave an overall rating of 4 stars.) I contacted the owner about it and he was responsive. We would DEFINITELY come back and would even consider renting in the summer as there are lots of summer activities that you could take advantage of. 100% recommend this home for large family/friend gatherings!
The house itself is very roomy and the layout was perfect for a group of 14. A big hit (and something new for us) was having a pool on the property. EVERYONE Loved the pool! The property outside is also very spacious and well-landscaped and provides ample parking for our six vehicles. The kitchen was very large and well-equipped for all our cooking needs. Additionally, we had use of a large garage and extra fridge to keep food, our coolers, and beverages which was a huge bonus. The interior of the house is well done and had a lot of upgrades and work done to it when Victor purchased it. Unfortunately, a few days before our vacation the central AC stopped working. Victor contacted us right away and offered a full refund and disclosed the part may not be in until Wed. or Fri. of the week we were there. We decided to push on and try to make it work with a combination of fans and air chillers. Unfortunately, the windows did not have blinds or curtains and the windows were finicky to open so cooling the house in the evening and trying to keep the sun out during the day was impossible. In the end, Victor graciously refunded us 50% of our money. The AC issues and part delivery were out of the host's control and he worked with us to best manage the issue. Victor was amazing and very responsive to all our communications. With a fully functional central AC, I would recommend this property. Victor was one of the best hosts I have worked with in the years I have been renting homes.
This was a great home with beautiful surroundings. Our team enjoyed staying here as it was clean, peaceful, and safe. The host did a great job communicating with me leading up to our arrival. I would highly recommend for groups intending to do some team bonding.
Everything about our stay was wonderful from start to finish. We had the best experience. The property was absolutely amazing. We had a mini family reunion, and this property was very accommodating for all of us. We had a very good time and enjoyed our stay very much. I would definitely recommend this property.
