We had a wonderful 2 night stay with our family. We had several generations so the three levels were perfect to give people space and privacy. Having the roll out beds was helpful. having multiple bathrooms for everyone to use was great. We enjoyed grilling and a bonfire. We were able to walk down to use the pool, hot tub, and tennis/pickelball courts. Part of our group went fishing one morning and due to their good luc, we were able to have a fish fry one evening. We were able to walk to a couple of the local restaurants (Zorbaz and Bar Harbor). We appreciated the closeness to the store to pick up essentials for the weekend. A small group headed into Nisswa to enjoy the local downtown shopping. We were able to enjoy a few of the games and the rental as well. The setting was perfect for an up north getaway. Relaxing and scenic. We were able to hear the loons and saw several deer while we were there. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
