Secluded Lake Getaway Perfect for Families

The size and accommodations between the house and outdoor property made this a great stay for everyone to enjoy time together or off on their own. The owner was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We would stay here again.

Weekend on the lake

We had a great stay at this property. It was large enough to comfortably fit our group of 10 adults and two infants. The lake was very clear and great for swimming and floating. Definitely recommend!

Big, warm & welcoming home.

Last minute decision to get family together over the Labor Day holiday when I found this beautiful home large enough to fit us all. Plus was they allow our furry family members to be with us. Can’t say enough how fun the home & property are.

Such a great getaway!

We stayed the weekend at this beautiful house! Age ranging from 10months - 75 years old. The house was very clean and accommodated our large group! Everyone had their own space and never felt crammed. Plenty of outdoor activities for the kids and the adults! The host was very communicative and made the stay so enjoyable! I would 100% recommend this place to ANYONE looking for a weekend getaway in the quiet or family gathering!

Beautiful home on the lake with private setting!

We absolutely loved this rental. The home was beautiful and had room for all of our family and guests. Located on Upper/Lower Mission Lake, MN which made it perfect for enjoying a tiki pontoon cruise. The home was inviting and equipped with everything you need. The commercial oven/stove was fantastic! Property host was extremely friendly and helpful. Even allowed an early check-in. 5⭐️

Family lake house

We had an amazing time at this lake house. The layout was open and had plenty of room for our family to enjoy our time together. Lots of mosquitoes so we couldn’t grill outside like we wanted but made use of the stove inside. Plenty of room to park both our boats and other cars—lots of lakes nearby with boat launches so we were able to explore not only mission lake but other lakes as well.

Extended Family Get away

We had a great time, a lot of boating time. Nice dock and big yard for kids and yard games. I couple minor hiccups but Shirley made herself available for any questions. Wish is was a little closer to towns but the location was quiet and peaceful. There really isn’t a beach but the lake is really clean and has some nice shallow areas for floating etc. Some good family memories made.

Lovely Stay!

Our family loved staying at this well appointed property. The yard and deck was expansive and we enjoyed our time outside with plentiful seating and the fire pit. Kids loved the s’mores kit, fishing rods and tackle boxes. So relaxing to sit on the dock and just watch them fish while standing in the sandy shallow water. We enjoyed making meals in the large kitchen and playing games in the living room. Everyone had plenty of space to explore and relax. The owners thoughtful touches and excellent communication were much appreciated!

A Great way to close out summer.

Thanks Shirley, our stay was fantastic. Plenty of room, really clean and no shortage of fun. The kitchen stove is amazing. It was pretty well stocked with all the stuff you need. We had family in for a day, there were 20 of us. (yes, it was nice when they left at the end of the day). We were all able to sit on the deck and had a great time. The young kids started fishing when they arrived and didn’t stop. Really fun to see. The grounds are beautiful. Take a walk and explore. So worth it. Wish there was a better swimming area but that didn’t stop us from hanging on the docks and beach. The canoe was a nice feature. All in all memories were made and it makes me smile.

An Amazing week of peace & enjoyment

The house & amenities were everything that we expected and more. Our group stayed local to the area due to Heartland Hockey camp. The house & property (27-acres) provided something to every person: - The worker bee: Those who had to work a full schedule or partial schedule...Yes; the internet was super fast & reliable and there was plenty of space to find quiet for a WebEx session or phone call - The reader: Those who wanted the comfort of a soft couch & a compelling journey through the pages of a good book - The fisherman: Those who wanted to catch bass from the dock, bringing smiles to faces of children ages 3 to 14, and providing a nice dinner - The boater: Those who needed an escape to the water to paddle around the bends of the channel to sounds of birds & frogs with jumping fish - The S'mores lover: Those who enjoyed the warmth from a fire pit and roasting of marshmallows - The Explorer: Those who wanted a walk through the woods or around the property in pursuit of wildlife or flowers or interesting sounds - The Snoozer: Those who want to lay on the hammock to pass the day without any cares in the world while getting a timely nap Our group loved the peace & tranquility of the experience, under the watch care of an engaged & helpful host. We highly recommend the home/property & the host. We will be back again, as the experience is rich & deep & fulfilling...

Very nice property with a few caveats

The house is very well equipped and beautiful. The owner was super responsive, providing everything we needed at a moments notice. The kids had a great time with a lot of space to play and run around outside. Super well equipped kitchen. There were a few issues, however, which made me feel the house is a bit overpriced. The bedroom with the queen and the twin beds has glass sliding doors that open to the dining room/main room, making it hard to use for families that go to bed at different times to sleep there. We couldn't use it. Another bedroom has no AC. The two bedrooms in the basement are very cold, dark and musty. There is only one canoe. Hard to really use the lake unless you rent something or bring your own water toys. There is no beach nor really entry area because it's been overtaken by grass and reeds. This jammed up the motor of the boat we rented every time we docked. No smart TVs/streaming devices. I Don't expect owners to provide services but at least allow us to log in to our own accounts.
