Cozy Lake Retreat
The kitchen was well stocked with necessary utensils for in cabin cooking. Two refrigerators was great. It was within reasonable driving distance for excellent dinning and unique shops. The lighting in the living needs improvement as it was pretty dim if you wanted to read.

May Mille Lacs stay
The house was super clean and had all the essentials anyone would ever need. It was decorated very cute. Dan (the host) was always available for questions through email which was very impressive. It was a perfect getaway minus the mayflies. We do not recommend vacationing while they are there. Which of course is completely out of the owners control. We had a great time otherwise.

Cozy Place
It is a nice cozy cabin that fits 10 people easily. We rented the place for our son and his friends to celebrate our son's 16th birthday. The boys had a blast. They had fun playing volleyball, walking on the frozen lake, playing games. Thank you for hosting!
