We had a great time at the cabin. Joe was a great host. Little things like help yourself to the garden, sâmores and coffee . A nice personal touch to our stay. Grandkids love the dock area and the lake was super clear. No dog days on Clearwater lake. We will be back!
This is a poorly maintained property that also needs a professional deep cleaning. The furniture is well past its prime (living room furniture was deplorable and needs replacing; the bunk bed is not stable; the lower mattress in the bunkbed room sinks in the middle making it uncomfortable for two people.) The linens did not seem fresh and the towels were threadbare with strings. There is no outlet or fan in the bathroom. The electronic keypad didn't seem to work and the door was wide open when we arrived. The wood deck around the house and the steps to the water have plenty of soft spots. There were so many of the owner's personal effects present (food, clothing, and hygiene items), it felt like the owner lives there and just left for the weekend.Â
The cabin was cute and accommodating. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and taking in the lake view and wildlife in the quiet atmosphere. Plenty of extras including pillows and blankets. WiFi worked great and lots of television channels. Hot water and good pressure. Stacked washer/dryer combo in the basement worked fine for us. I appreciated that the kitchen cabinets were labeled to easily find what we needed too. Owner was very responsive and hospitable.
We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was so clean and equipped with everything you need and more! So relaxing! Really enjoyed everything about this property! Will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was the quintessential cabin and worked perfectly for our small family and dog. Our kiddo loved the water amenities! Joe was a great host, friendly and was responsive throughout our stay.
Joe has a nice little cabin with all the fun stuff you need for the family - water trampoline, Maui Mat, bags, ladder golf, bikes and board games. His lakeshore is nice and shallow for the kids to play in for hours. There are little sunnies off the dock and we had good luck fishing every morning. The welcome note and smores and popcorn was a nice touch. It was a great family getaway!
We were super impressed from the cabin to the lake. Grandkiddos loved the lake amenities. Joe was a grea host and was easy to get ahold of. Certainly wil be back
The cabin was the perfect fit for our family,
We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is fully equipped with everything you need, and we had a great time on the water.
We would definitely rent again from Joe he his a great host!
My family of 5 plus the dog enjoyed this property immensely. Beautiful lake, clean and bright home with good fishing, evening bon fire, pontoon ride for an extra treat and floating relaxation. The hosts made it easy to enjoy and check out for a few days. We had a bright moon, great weather and extra helpings of nature. Thanks Melsha family for sharing your slice of heaven.
The positives are the lake is nice.
Unfortunately it was not worth it. Over $2k for less than a week. (My bf and I came to visit my family) When we entered the property it smelled like gas so we had to open all the doors and windows which lead to many mosquitoes off the bat. We considered renting the boat which was offered at $450 a day plus $100 cleaning fee and $750 deposit. I live on a lake myself and have a boat- thatâs absurd pricing for Annandale, MN (the marinas pricing was $190 a day and $500 deposit- save your money) The host showed up the Saturday afternoon around 12pm and didnât leave until 8 pm. He sat outside gardening while my friends and I were outside trying to talk but felt uncomfortable with him being there. We ended up leaving early and days later he sent unnecessary text messages. I would not recommend, the overall experience was not worth it. There isnât even a dishwasher and despite the cleaning fee- they leave a note encouraging you to wash the dishes and wash towels / bed sheets. No thank you- not to mention they entered the property with more towels (we didnât ask for more) so Iâm certain they donât actually rely on guests to do these chores and I would hope so. Most hosts hire cleaners, hence the cleaning fee and rightfully so ⊠I would not feel comfortable staying in a home where a professional cleaner didnât tidy up the place.
We definitely enjoyed our stay at this cute lake home! Loved the water trampoline to just hang out on. Joe was responsive to texts leading up to and after our stay, and the place had everything we needed. We would stay here again!
