The main home features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths along with a lakeside porch and large deck overlooking lake. There are also 2 adorable bunk cottages, each can sleep 4-5.
The Space With 150 feet of shoreline, enjoy fishing off the dock or simply watch the loons and enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. You will be just minutes from downtown Pequot Lakes and Nisswa for all your shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.

Adorable, cozy cabin in a great area! Check in was easy and there was plenty of room for our group. Accommodations exceeded our expectations and the host was great to communicate with. I want to go back in the summer months!

Everything was very clean and decorated so cute! We didnt get to spend a ton of time there but it was very comfortable and they had everything you could need. We loved it and would definitely stay again. Not to mention a beautiful view right on the lake!
This was a lovely cabin on a beautiful lakeside. The cabin has been renovated and is very up-to-date and comfortable. We did not stay in the extra cabins, but took a peek and they look awesome as well. Loved this place.

Perfect little getaway cabin for families with kiddos. The main cabin is cute and cozy! The two other mini cabins are really cool, our kids loved them. Great communication from the host- highly recommend.
Not to mention, Lakes Tavern and Tasty Pizza are both within walking/ biking distance. So fun!
My wife and I found this "diamond" on the lake. Has everything you could want. we stayed in the main cottage and, we of course had to look in the two other cottages that had everything we could want, need, and desire!
We regretfully had to leave, but we are planning our return date for next year.

Very well maintained property. Served our group of 9 guys on a three-day golf vacation extremely well. Everyone had their own bed. The main cabin and all the guest houses had air conditioners, which were crucial for the hot days.
Some people fished, kayaked, and built campfires. Others were able to relax indoors and watch movies when they needed a break.
The kitchen was nice and well stocked with utensils. We grilled for a couple meals, and the outdoor shelter was awesome for prepping food and eating.
Great place. Very clean. Super close to Nisswa and Pequot Lakes. Everyone commented how nice it was.
We enjoyed our stay very much! Michelle and the owner went above and beyond to accommodate us! I’ve never rented from anyone as understanding and helpful!! Beautiful home! Beautiful lake! Highly recommend!!! Ten ⭐️!!!!!
Perfect spot for our golf and fantasy draft weekend. 3 buildings, nice outdoor gathering spot under large pergola. Everything was clean, tidy etc. lake was a bit weedy and not super swim friendly but I still floated under the sun and stars for a spell regardless. Immediately responsive host when we had a code issue.
