Amazing stay. Host was easy to contact and always quick to reply. We had an amazing time. House was instantly cozy and felt like home away from home, very clean and well kept home and yard. Loved that we could rent the pontoon and use it for our stay. Fishing was great and fun. Exactly what we were hoping for.

Our group’s stay was cancelled unexpectedly and we happened to find this lovely place in Emily, MN. The host was always responsive and answered my questions. House was stocked with all typical items plus much more! The pontoon is for rent which wasn’t in the listing. The price for daily rent is more expensive compared to other listings but the boat ran well and worked for our needs. Would definitely recommend this beautiful home on a serene piece of property.
