A Diamond in the Rough

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy little cabin on the lake. Thoughtfully designed, it included everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Inside, the classic Minnesota cabin aesthetic came through beautifully—plenty of pine tongue-and-groove paneling and charming wildlife decor set the tone.What really surprised me was the variety of waterfowl on the lake. As a lifelong Minnesotan, I spotted several birds I couldn’t even identify, which says something!I titled this a "Diamond in the Rough" because the neighborhood was an "Antique Roadshow" of RVs and small cabins. This doesn't take anything away from the experience since the cabin is oriented toward the lake. If you are looking for a relaxing stay by the lake, this is a good choice. We will be back the next time we need to decompress.

Enjoyed our stay

My family and I rented both houses right next to each other. The set up was nice as one of the houses had a nice back deck overlooking the lake with plenty of room to hang out and enjoy the outdoors. The host was great and even brought us some fresh vegetables one afternoon from his garden. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cabin was perfect for what we were looking for over the weekend. It was also very well stocked with necessities, was clean, comfortable and we loved the deck and lake views. We had friends staying at Kamp Dels so this arrangement worked perfectly for us.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this cabin. We enjoyed the view over looking the lake, campfires at night, and kayaking during the day. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The cabin was cozy and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Hoping to go back next summer.

Amazing- Relaxing

My husband and I needed a quick get away with our 2 dogs. It was perfect. We rented the pontoon for 2 days, spending days out on the water swimming and fishing. The owner was so receptive to our needs, he went above and beyond.

Everything was very good with the property except the futon that I had to sleep on was in need of a new mattress. We wanted to fish off the dock but there was too much seaweed but we made other arrangements.

Nice Cozey Cabin With Lots to do.

The cabin was great! It was decorated really nice and was layed out really well. It worked perfect for my wife and I. It was right on the lake so we could dock our boat for fishing and walk right out of the cabin to the dock. We fished in the boat on the first day and on the second day it was too windy and cold to take the boat out so we were able to access the state park trail right from the resort and spend the day hiking the state park. That evening we took a short walk to town and had Mexican for supper. Darrell was a great host and gave us all the information we needed to have a good time. We plan on going back again.
