Lake Ethel cabin
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this charming Lake Ethel cabin. It’s a true quintessential Minnesota cabin. We had a wonderful time, the neighbors and property owner were extremely nice and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Next time though it will be in the summer because the lake was so clean and clear with a beautiful sandy bottom, great for swimming.

Little getaway
Great place to stay. Breathtaking view of lake and autumn trees. Had a great time fishing. Loose dogs was a little concern but overall was not too much of problem, with my own dog. We would definitely stay again, next season.

Perfect place to relax
The property was in a great location with great views of the lake. The deck with table and picnic table, the big swing, the grill and the fire pit made enjoying the lake easy. And being able to use the boats was a great addition. Just a great place to stay. We will be back.

Not your usual “resort” property.
Charming “lake house” in an intimate residential area. Stunning Lakeview with farmland all around. By”not your usual resort” I mean very quiet. The owners live next door. So very personal attention. Thank you for 4 delightful weeks!

On Lake Time
Beautiful, relaxing spot for a week at the lake with my college-aged daughters. The lake was perfect for swimming, floating, and kayaking, and the cabin was clean and comfortable. The deck, just a few steps from the lake, was absolutely delightful. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Nice place.
Nice cabin with a beautiful view from the large deck. Accommodations were more than adequate for the two of us and could easily manage 4-6. Also very thoughtful with extras like coffee and spices. Host was very accommodating when we asked to move our reservation out a day. Good location between other lakes and lake towns. We would go back again.

Great stay great host
Stayed from April 29 till May 2nd. Wonderful property, with everything in the cabin spotless. The area is so quiet and peaceful which is what we were looking for. Unfortunately the dock wasn’t out out so we couldn’t fully take advantage of the aquatic activities. Not the host fault, just had a longer colder winter this year. The cabin was heated nicely and everything in the cabin was great. Had wood provided for bonfires which were very nice at night. Had a propane grill provided with all tools needed for grilling. There is two small towns located about 10 minutes from the cabin, both towns had nice towny restaurants. Cabin was right on the lake shore, something you can’t find often with vacation rentals. Definitely planning on staying again at this cabin as everything was great
