Will S2026-02-25

The house was perfect for a friends’ weekend. It comfortably slept everyone as advertised, and the home had tons of character. The views out the back were beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again. By the way there is a sauna in the basement that is not list so that was a plus.

It’s private, the house is great for the entire family. We’ve been coming for years and as the family continues to grow it fits us well. Great for little ones with the peninsula and shallow waters. We absolutely love this vacation house. Our family, kids, spouses and grandchildren will always remember the amazing memories we have made.

David N2025-08-12

See above. We will be back next year God willing.

Greg S2025-06-24

This is a great option for a unique rental on Long Lake. The house is large enough to accommodate 2 families with plenty to do both inside and outside. The house itself has a few minor quirks but it's easily outweighed by the location (private peninsula on a beautiful lake) and unique features: the house has lots of fun rooms, panoramic views and is stocked with books, games and movies.

Jess D2025-04-28

Booked a trip with a group of friends and we all loved staying in this home!
