"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...

"My long-time friend (60+ years) and I wanted a getaway to go fish for a week. This rental was great for the two of us - two bedrooms, a great room/kitchen combo, a stackable washer/dryer, reliable wifi and a smart TV. 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...

"We planned this getaway in the area to enjoy the full Fall color peak in Nisswa. This was a glorious weekend full of vibrate and beautiful colors. The neighborhood was so calm and quiet. We enjoyed plenty of walks in the neighborhoods. The house had so much more space than we anticipated. And there was nothing lacking in the kitchen! It was wonderful! "

"We were looking for a relaxing stay at the lake, and this was perfect! Plenty of room for the seven of us, and had everything we needed. The location was great, with easy access to Brainerd, Baxter, and Nisswa. Communication with the property manager was amazing. He notified us of a large storm that was to be in the area as we would be arriving, advising us that we should try to avoid it. We took his advice and had an extended supper stop, and avoided the bad weather. Any questions were...
