Stunning 4 Bedroom Lake Home close to everything!!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (42)
"The home was lovely. A little disconcerting to have any traps on the kitchen counter though. Tried to contact owner for departure instructions and they never answered so we just did what most vrbo renters have asked. Also, instructions regarding entry need updating. Talks about turning something but it is digital and you need to hit the lock symbol. Also, we brought steaks for the bbq seen in photo. It is a pellet stove. We are unfamiliar with that and there were no instructions. A beautiful...

We were able to fish six different lakes in the week and brought two coolers of fish home. Host was quick to respond to any questions and email. If you're looking for high priced luxuries, this isn't it. But if you want a comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay for the week or...

"Would be an amazing place to stay in the summer. The guest house is very cold in winter- had to sleep on the couch in the main house it was so cold (so I'd not plan on those two extra bedrooms / 1 bathroom in the winter time for space.) Fabulous place for summer, however. "

Lakefront Brainerd Cabin w/ Fireplace!

"Our group of about 10 guys stayed at this cabin for our annual golf outing in the Brainerd area. The location was ideal and the cleanliness and layout of the house were exactly what our group needed to socialize. Judie and Casey left great instructions to go in and out of the rental and how to ultimately clean it up when we left. Would definitely rent again if we decide to go back to the Brainerd area again!"
