"Wonderful little house. Actually not that little! You could put an air mattress in the living room easily. Everything was top-notch. Super clean, super quiet, very pretty area. Excellent communication with hosts. Very well stocked with everything you could need, and lots of little extras like sandwich bags and coffee! Lots of thoughtful little touches like a phone plug in the kitchen. Nice cozy electric fireplace in the living room. I could easily stay here for a month. Hope to return next...

"Buyer Beware- This host forced me to spend the night in a 100 degree cabin with no AC and although it wasn't listed as an amenity the host never replied to the question of "Is there AC?" Upon arrival and discovering the lack of any cooling capacity on the hottest day of the year the host denied the refund request. Combine this with the complete lack of WIFI (Advertised amenity) and you have the longest inferno of a night imaginable. Do not rent this place in the summer and be sure to consider...

River View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Recently remodeled and very clean and modern !"

Rapid River Lodge

8/10 Good

"With Breakfast everything was out of order and tables were all dirty. Hotel staff was sitting behind front counter talking guest had to go ask for things including the omelettes that were kept in the freezer. When booking a room for 6 guestst they only include 4 wristbands the others you need to purchase. Staff in the waterpark was inconsistent one day my grandson was ok you use the big water slide being a 1/2 to short. The next day it was a no. He can't go down them."

Lakeside Sand Beach House on 3 Acres of fun Near Nisswa and Cross Lake.

10/10 Excellent

"The house is located in a beautiful setting, close to the lake and surrounded by trees. The house has plenty of room for a very large gathering with abundant beds and bathrooms. The hot tub (or sauna) is a perfect place to relax after a day of fishing or hiking. The bunk house/game room is the perfect place to go have fun on a rainy day. Mark and Andria are wonderful and very responsive hosts. Our entire family enjoyed our stay."
