This home provided plenty of space and a tranquil beauty that was perfect for a family weekend. We’re so glad we woke up early enough so we didn’t miss the beautiful sunrise!

This place was the perfect spot on the lake while being close to the cities. I think most importantly the host was always sooo quick to respond and assist with anything we needed. The master bedroom has plenty of space with two guest bedrooms just across the hall. Only 4 of us stayed at this house and felt like we had enough space. The house was very cozy with different area and spaces to hangout in. There is a little nook with kids toys and games that entertained our littles all weekend. It was also nicely tucked next to the living room so that we could hangout in the living room while they played close by. The backyard has a wonderful view, fire pit, and plenty of space for yard games or to hangout. We were visiting with friends who lived in the cities and this was the perfect place to gather and enjoy the outdoor space while being a close drive for everyone else.

We visited MN for a Finisher’s Guild meeting. We are usually too busy to find time to relax, let alone take a vacation. My goal with this rental was to allow for some of that R&R amidst our busy lives and weekend. This B&B offers the tranquility and comforts of a home away from home, although the beds and pillows are much more comfortable than my own. We loved the layout and designer touches in the home. Outside is a world unto itself. The lot was incredibly spacious and private compared to the rest of the neighborhood. It is the added luxuries like an incredible view and sauna that make this place extra memorable. Wish we had a chance to use the fire pit this time around. Thank you for the opportunity to stay, I will be keeping this one in mind for our future MN trips.

Alex & Adam place was perfect. We were in town for daughter’s wedding and hosted family members. The house was right on Forest Lake, they had dock for our boat. The extra frig was a life saver for the wedding flowers. The sheets on the bed were seriously so soft, asked owner brand and where they bought as I will be buying these sheets, so comfy. The kitchen was well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. It was so relaxing staying there with outdoor patio, furniture and gas grill. Alex was very quick to answer questions. Thanks Alex & Adam for the awesome stay.

The house was wonderful and perfect for our family getaway. The extra fridge was a great bonus! The bathrooms were squeaky clean and the beds were so comfortable. Alex is a great host and very responsive. My grandchildren built sand castles while we fished off the dock. Had a great time

We had a fantastic stay! The place was clean and incredibly comfortable. Perfect dog run out front for our two dogs. The host was responsive and thoughtful, and every detail was clearly well cared for. Highly recommend — this was our second time staying here, will definitely be back again!
