Quiet Relaxing Lakefront Cabin w/ Private Dock

A great house with a large, private backyard right on a lake. The house was very clean and modern, with everything you need. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. It was perfect for my dog as well. I enjoyed my stay.

The cabin was perfect for our group. Plenty of rooms, bathrooms and amenities. Easy access to Nisswa and Cross Lake for shopping, dining and nightlife. The lake was weedy but owners were upfront. We had plenty of outside time on the lawn, deck and with their kayaks. That was an awesome amenity. Only complaint was the smell coming from septic tank. This was outside and I understand can’t be controlled. We let the owners know and they acknowledged our concerns. I would stay again!

Unfortunately, our experience with this property was very disappointing. We arrived late at night after an 8-hour drive and immediately noticed multiple cleanliness issues. The bathtub was dirty (I have photos and video of myself cleaning it with Clorox wipes I brought), the bathroom rug was dirty, the floors throughout the home were not clean, the dishes in the dishwasher had not been properly cleaned, and there was trash piled up outside when we arrived. After seeing that the rest of the home had not been properly cleaned, we no longer felt confident that the bedding had been cleaned or changed prior to our arrival. Because of the overall condition of the property, we did not feel comfortable staying. We contacted Evolve immediately and, after speaking with a supervisor, were advised to vacate the property while they attempted to reach the owners. We left in the middle of the night, had to find a hotel because other accommodations were limited.

The home was clean; they had some inflatable kayaks ready to use in the shed. We took our paddle boards out onto the lake and enjoyed what nature had to offer. We had to paddle out a ways to find a good spot to swim; my kids had fun jumping into the lake from the boards and being out on the water. The lake is shallow and a bit weedy, but even so, there were some beautiful water lilies and a family of swans on the lake to admire. The home is close to a main road, and during the busy 4th of July weekend, there was a lot of traffic we could hear—just something to be aware of if you're looking for something a bit quieter. The linens, bathrooms, and kitchen were all very clean. The only thing that could use a good sweeping was the back patio so we don't track as much dust and dirt into that first-level entry. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had a great weekend at the cabin!
