Very cozy, clean and comfortable. The bed was super comfy. The deck and lake view were our favorites. It really was private even with neighbors. We had one small issue with hot water but Aaron was quick to respond and fix it. We will definitely be back.

For the first time in our VRBO hostory, the pictures didn't disappoint! It was actually even lovelier in person. Host was very accommodating, professional and communicative. Easy to find in a private location. No real neighbors just other bunkhouses just as quaint. Absolutely loved our stay! Minnesota visitors
