We will be back!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The attentiveness of the property owner was unbelievable. She was so helpful and kind. The pictures don’t really do justice to how cute this cabin is and the sunsets were breathtaking. Definitely recommend this property!

Perfect stay
This cabin has everything you would hope for a northern minnesota getaway. There is a perfect, sandy swimming area for kids (and adults), paddleboards and kayaks to take out on the lake, and a well equipped living space for relaxing in at the beginning and end of the day. We all had a great time!

Great property! Lovely home with great kitchen and lounging areas. Kids loved the sandy shore and shallow beach. Fishing was excellent. We were there weekdays and the location was quiet. Also enjoyed nearby towns.

Nice lake place/fishing
Beautiful place! We enjoyed our stay. Just beware if thinking about handicap accessible. The lower level has a tub and the walk in shower is up a flight of stairs. Our family enjoyed the fishing and out door games.

Great Time on Ox Yoke Lake
The property provided a wonderful place for our family to gather. We enjoyed using the kayaks, paddle boards, and fishing off the dock. The solitude and scenery of Ox Yoke Lake gave us a restful and relaxing place to spend time with family. Our time spent at this VRBO certainly met our expectations.

The perfect getaway!
This is our second time staying at this property, and we love it so much! My husband and I and our 3 kids (5, 3, and 8 months) have so much fun playing on the beach, boating (we bring our own and tie it up on the property’s dock), fishing, and taking little trips into Walker and Hackensack. The kitchen is well equipped. The owners are so responsive, and even though they’re on a septic system, you have access to laundry which is so helpful with swim suits and messy kid clothes. We’re always so sad to leave which is a sign of the good times had 🙂

Wonderful Stay
This was a perfect end-of-summer getaway for our family. The house was even more beautiful in person and the location offered a lot of peace and privacy. Our 3 year old loved playing on the sandy beach, watching the loons and looking for fish. We also enjoyed venturing to Walker and Hackensack and riding bikes in the Chippewa National Forest. The house was very clean, well-stocked and met all of our needs. This vacation home checked all the boxes for our family and we hope to visit again!

Great home and private lake with small beach area
We had a wonderful stay with something to do for everyone in our family …small kids, teenagers, parents and grandparents. The house was stocked with everything we needed. Clean. Beautiful location. Quiet area but close enough to grocery/hardware/fishing store if you needed anything. Kayaks and paddle boards to use were a great bonus!!

Peaceful place
This place is very nice. It had everything we needed in the house, and lots to do outside as well - bbq, gas grill, kayaks, paddleboards, hammocks, beautifully clear water- lovely! We brought our boat and kept it at the dock when we weren't fishing. Our hosts were responsive to our needs and we couldn't have asked for more. It was wonderful.

Family fun
The home is beautiful and has pretty much anything you would need. The lake is super clear and very clean. Our whole family loves using the paddle boards and kayaks and the kids through the hammocks were a lot of fun as well. We really loved sitting on the dock and watching the sunset and we had the most perfect view of the start once it got dark. It was really a perfect way to relax and spend some time just enjoying being together. I would definitely recommend this location.

You will not be disappointed
Stop looking. This is the place. We love the cabin. We love the lake access and the location to all the places in central mn (nisswa, Brainerd, walker, Hackensack, longville, etc). Rooms are a little tight but we managed. Kitchen is fully stocked. Cabin is updated and clean. Dock faces the sunset in the evening and fishing is great off the dock. If available, we will definitely be back!

So beautiful… =)
We absolutely loved the property and the lake was amazing! Very clear - you could spot the fish before they took the bait. Loved the beach area too! The slope going down to the beach is steep - be careful of your footing. The dock was large and perfect for bobber fishing, sitting and watching the spectacular sunset. Cabin was clean, beautiful and slightly sound proof as neighbors were closer than expected. We really enjoyed our stay and we plan to book again.*

WOW
What a fabulous week! I wish we would have stayed for two! The cabin is beautiful, so tastefully decorated and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Our 3 y.o. loved all the bear details and the hammocks 😊 The lake is so clear and we had an excellent time taking our boat out, swimming, and fishing. Nice dock with bumpers to keep the boat at for our stay as well. The sandy beach, while not huge, was just right for some sand castle building. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!

Exceeded expectations
The property was amazing from the home itself to the lakeshore it occupies. Incredible views and all the amenities our family needed. We felt at home right away. Christine and Eric were great hosts. Very quick in answering the few questions we had. Everything was set up and straightforward. Checkin was easy and the house was ready to go when we arrived. The lake is perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. Millions of stars to gaze at at night as well. Already talking bout going back next year.

Great vacation lake home!!!
Beautiful lake home! Very quiet and relaxing location. Property just as listed. We had a great time on the beautiful lake, very clear water! Loved hanging out on the little beach and dock. Great lake for swimming, skiing/tubing and fishing. Very quiet lake. Home was perfect for our kids and their families, it had everything we needed and very clean. Neighbors were there but barely noticed them, though they were very helpful when we needed help with our dog’s medical issue. Also the dog tie out line was great to have. Thanks for a wonderful relaxing vacation. Definitely plan to be back next year!!

Ahhhhh-mazing!
We had six adults and four children (ages 5-9) and stayed Monday through Saturday. The location is beautiful! Very quiet and calm neighborhood and lake. Gravel road for a little over 2 miles to get to the property. Great sight lines from inside the house down to the beach and dock area. Small beach that goes uphill quickly. The water is clear and the kayaks/SUPs were a huge hit with all ages. Very clean and well-equipped home. Super responsive hosts! We would definitely stay again!
