cute house, great location

It was a beautiful house, great view and great weather. We had a large family group staying and hosted a small birthday party for my grandson. We had issues with the secondary bathroom backing up. Other than that it was a wonderful time and a great space to be in.

Great family getaway!

2 families with 5 kids (12, 9, 4, 3, 2) The one level layout in the house and to the beach, meaning no stairs was wonderful with our 2 and 3 year olds. The variety of lake amenities was fantastic: kayaks, paddle boards, lilly pad, sandy beach (some weeds but normal), yard games, pontoon, etc. Clean place! The communication with owners was fast and helpful. We would love to come back!

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed the lake house. The kids especially loved the bunk room. We comfortably fit 3 adults and 4 kids/teens in the house. The house was clean and decorated so beautifully, and the kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed using the pontoon and paddle boards. Everyone enjoyed the shadey trees over the sand beach. And our favorite part was being able to have our two dogs along to enjoy the stay with us. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful during our week there. Would definitely come again sometime!

Overall good, but some suggestions.

We had a great time at the cabin and will be back, but we do have some feedback and suggestions if you want them. 1. It appears that large obvious surfaces are clean, but less obvious areas could use some attention. See bunk bed corners and headboards as an example. 2. Dressers in the bedrooms would be nice. 3. Being able to sleep two adults in the middle bedroom would be nice. 4. Boardwalk to cross sand between sidewalk and dock (like your neighbors). This would make it easier for elderly to access the pontoon and also help track less sand in the boats and cabin.

Ultimate Family Property

Sara and Jason are amazing hosts and the rental is absolutely perfect! The layout of the home is fantastic…with one side being for kids of all ages and the other side for adults! The center of the home has seating at a table and the island with a clear view to the living room and the family room. Bedrooms and baths tucked quietly on the street side of the home allowing clear lake views from the rest of the home. The kitchen is well stocked with all cooking essentials and more! The pontoon was included during the timeframe we stayed…this was great to take out and take cruises of the lake as well as anchor and float in the water! The communication with Sara and Jason was top notch! Quick replies along with valuable information regarding the pontoon as well as the lake. We booked for next year within the first few days of our stay!! This rental property should be at the top of everyone’s list!!!

Family 4th Time!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We rented for the week of July 4th. We had our adult children and their significant others (6 total), 2 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. For amenities, NOTHING was lacking! Jason was phenomenal in explaining the pontoon and back story of the property. Sara is an amazing decorator and excellent communicator. Neighbor Bill is super nice. Beds and pillows were really comfortable and I was worried about that (didn’t need to bring my 5 pillows … haha). Only suggestion if possible would be de-weed the beach area. We had an amazing time and hope to visit again. Thank you!!

Perfect for a family getaway

We absolutely loved this house - it was perfect for a family getaway. We didn’t have to go anywhere- it had everything! The pontoon was perfect for cruising the lake and the kids LOVED the lily pad! We didn’t have any luck fishing, but we admittedly didn’t try too hard (kids threw a few casts). We also loved sitting on the deck and just relaxing by the lake. We grilled every night and had perfect weather! The house was fully stocked and had everything we needed - the owners have thought through everything - there were tons of beach towels, extra firewood, extra gas, s’more supplies and lots of games. The house was extremely clean and the beds were comfy. Absolutely no complaints! Thank you Sara and Jason!

Cute place and easy to find!

We had a great time in this very spacious cabin. It way bigger then the photos show. The pontoon was a great addition and the family really enjoyed toodling around the lake. The only down fall was the lake was a little more weedy then we expected but the weather wasn’t that warm so we didn’t swim much anyways. Would rent again!

Nice lake house with lots of space

Great space for us all to hang out. Super easy to prepare big meals in the kitchen. The bunk room was fantastic for our 6 kids, and kept them out of our hair when we needed it! The lake has a lot seaweed that was a bit of a bummer. And the boat is small and has sea legs so you are limited on how many people can go on it at one time. Plenty of outdoor toys to play with though. Wish there weren’t so many biting black flies to contend with.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Witzke

Host profile image
My husband and I bought this beautiful home in 2017 and did a complete remodel that same year. We live just outside of Perham. We have 2 kiddos, I'm a stay at home mom and my husband is a real estate agent/mortgage broker in Perham. He has lived here all his life.

Why they chose this property

It's located on a private road, the neighborhood is quiet, low key, friendly and a very relaxing environment. The house sits on a level lot with a beautiful sandy beach. We have a fire pit to roast smores and sit and relax overlooking the lake. The lot also has mature trees to provide shade for those who like it. :) The entire house was updated in 2017.

What makes this property unique

Our bunk room is amazing for families and has toys, reading nook, hanging swing chairs for the kiddos. It has 4 queen beds in it so plenty of room for everyone. Also is located right next to our 2nd bathroom and has a big screen tv for entertainment or movie nights. :) Almost all the main rooms in the house have large windows to look out to the beach and lake.
