We had a wonderful stay at this cozy little cabin on the lake. Thoughtfully designed, it included everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Inside, the classic Minnesota cabin aesthetic came through beautifullyâplenty of pine tongue-and-groove paneling and charming wildlife decor set the tone.What really surprised me was the variety of waterfowl on the lake. As a lifelong Minnesotan, I spotted several birds I couldnât even identify, which says something!I titled this a "Diamond in the Rough" because the neighborhood was an "Antique Roadshow" of RVs and small cabins. This doesn't take anything away from the experience since the cabin is oriented toward the lake. If you are looking for a relaxing stay by the lake, this is a good choice. We will be back the next time we need to decompress.
Not a good stay. Got my pontoon reservation refunded.
My check in time was three in the afternoon and I arrived around nine which was just fine. In the middle of the night I got up to go to the bathroom. I noticed someone was peeking in to the window with a flashlight, which didnât set very well with me. After not sleeping after that, I woke up in the morning to go fishing. I had reserve and rented the pontoon boat For myself to take out onto the lake so I could use it to go fishing. It was not ready. I did get in contact with the host who told me that he was going to try to get a hold of someone who could get the boat ready. I was ready to go fishing at 6:30 in the morning and it was 10 oâclock and the boat was still not ready. As I was waiting, I went into use the bathroom just to find out that the toilet was plugged up. My overall was not I was hoping or expecting.
I was only there for 12 hours. I contacted the host and asked for a refund. I didnât even mind paying for one day. I was only returned my money on the pontoon boat that I never had the opportunity to use anyway.
I would give communication a three on a scale from one to 10
The property I will say was just like the picture showed and was a nice little set up. Unfortunately, after all of those events, Iâm extremely disappointed and not getting more of my money back and things werenât ready to go. I drove from Iowa to Minnesota just to drive back to Iowa.
My family and I rented both houses right next to each other. The set up was nice as one of the houses had a nice back deck overlooking the lake with plenty of room to hang out and enjoy the outdoors. The host was great and even brought us some fresh vegetables one afternoon from his garden. We really enjoyed our stay.
Such a cute cabin! Perfect place to unwind. The evenings were peaceful and so quiet! The firepit was a great way to unwind each night. The host was easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again.
Cabin was perfect for what we were looking for over the weekend. It was also very well stocked with necessities, was clean, comfortable and we loved the deck and lake views. We had friends staying at Kamp Dels so this arrangement worked perfectly for us.
We very much enjoyed this cabin on the lake. The cabin itself was really nice and well maintained. Full kitchen, beautiful view out the back door. There is a trail with easy access to get on from the house. The whole weekend was wonderful and relaxing.
This is a small, charming cabin of recent construction. The interior is rustic in a sophisticated manner, if that makes sense. The lakefront view is terrific, and the kitchen is great. There are charcoal and gas grills available for use, with appropriate utensils. Once I got the Wi-Fi password, the internet connectivity was excellent. (I would recommend finding out the password ahead of time, which I neglected to do.) The property manager came to welcome us and give us entry information. The small town of Waterville (population about 1,500) is surprisingly cosmopolitan: although the only restaurant serves Mexican cuisine, it was first-rate Mexican food, rivalling anything I've had in much larger cities; and the local grocery store is well stocked, and offers locally made bacon, bratwurst and other meats that we found delicious. Be sure you have a streaming account with a TV provider -- Hulu or the like; we don't. All-in-all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
