Great little cabin!

This little cabin was the perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway! It was well kept up, clean and the hot tub and sauna were easy to access. There was a wide variety of places to eat as well as breweries. We would definitely come back again!

Wonderful cabin getaway

This was the perfect cabin for my partner and I to enjoy a weekend vacation away from the city. It's the perfect size for two people, and the hot tub and sauna amenities made our stay so relaxing. It is really close to town and right next to the lake, so it's a great location for exploring the area. Communication with the host was great and instructions for getting in, use of the amenities, and checking out were all very clear. I'd definitely stay here again!

Anniversary trip

The property is absolutely stunning! If you are looking for a small cabin feel not even 5 minutes away from downtown Nisswa this is the place for you! Super clean and well put together. It gives an outstanding feeling of being close to nature but still nearby to civilization.

Great stay!

We had a great stay in this small cabin! It was perfect! Great amenities with the shared tennis/pickleball court, hot tub and sauna! Loved the outdoor fire pit and patio, along with the screened in porch. It was peaceful and quiet, slept so good with the windows open. Great location for shopping in downtown Nisswa and a lot of great restaurant's! Highly recommend!

Hot tub was very nice but the sauna door didn’t quite shut all the way so it didn’t stay very warm.

The listing was exactly as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and was so glad we could bring our dog. The space was beautifully cleaned and I was surprised by it. The amenities were easy to use and made our experience memorable. Thank you!

Everything was great. The host might wan to make a note in the instructions that, at least in winter, one has to pull the door for the lock to be able to unlock using the keypad. Other than that, everything was smooth sailing.

Nice little cabin! Hot tub was lovely even (maybe especially!) in 30F weather (we went early March). Didn’t get a chance to try the sauna so I can't speak to that.I'm sure it says in the listing and I just missed it, but want to call out that the hot tub and sauna are right outside the backdoor of the clubhouse, but a short walk from the cabin. We had a very chilly run back to the cabin after our soak! Bedroom got pretty chilly at night. I'd reccOwner is very nice and gracious. Very easy to work with!
