Another Perfect Stay on Eagle Lake!
This property continues to be one of lake country's VRBO gems - clean, comfy accommodations, crystal clear water, and plenty to do both around the house and in the surrounding area. Craig and Donna are responsive and very easy to communicate with. We'll hope to book again next summer!

Well maintained cabin
Secluded two story cabin/home with all the amenities. Porches and decks all give great views of the lake. The kitchen and livingroom are well appointed and homey. Two big bath rooms with showers and tub/shower. Beds are comfortable. All appliances are quality and newer.
The lake is the clearest in MN!
The host is very helpful and responsive. Independant fishing guides give great experience. No beach or play area for youngsters. Boat docking space is good quality but limited. We rented a pontoon and were challenged tieing it up .This was our second year and have reserved next year. The family loves it.

Amazing spot on Beautiful Eagle Lake
This property was amazing and perfect. It was very clean when we arrived, very organized. Dealing with Craig was very simple and he always returned messages in a timely manner and was very helpful with any questions we had. The house was large and very well taken care of. The dock was very nice as well. Only issue, which wasn’t much of an issue at all, was we rented a pontoon and there wasn’t much room to tie it up but we figured it out quite quickly. Also we used their boat ramp for my boat and that worked perfectly. It is located very close to the only boat launch on the lake. It had been about 15 years since my family has been to Eagle Lake after spending time on the lake every summer growing up and it is still as beautiful and the fishing is still as amazing as it always has been. Huge thank you to Craig and his family for giving us the opportunity to enjoy Eagle Lake again and we look forward to staying here again very soon!!

Beautiful and Peaceful Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at this beautiful lake house. The decks have amazing views and are right on the water. We used the kayaks and brought our own paddle board. The lake water is very clear, and it was calm and great for these activities. The kids enjoyed swimming, but it was a bit cold for me! We were also able to catch quite a few fish from the dock. My favorite part was drinking coffee each morning on the deck, seeing all the wildlife, and listening to the loons!
The nearby town of Battle Lake had a few restaurants. Our favorite was the Boat House. We also made the 40 minute drive to Alexandria to Casey’s Amusement Park for some mini golf and go karts!
After a family emergency and some misunderstanding with the cleaning crew at the beginning of our stay, the owners went above and beyond to make it right. Their communication with us was great. They even gave us many recommendations of things to do with our kids. We would be happy to stay here again!

Nice cabin on best lake anywhere
We had a poor start. The new cleaning hire did not do their job well at all. Owner Craig was very supportive. New steps to the deck and new deck supports were appreciated, however steps from deck to dock are very steep and handrail a little wobbly for us more mature folks. We rent a pontoon each year and it is a challenge to tie up with the current dock configuration which is
first class material. They keep the cabin homey, but a few more small updates, like the great coffee maker and new gas grill would take it to a five star. We are so very greatful that the Rakows continue to share this home on the lake with those of us lucky enough to know about it. (No gratuities were given in exchange for this review). Until next year!

Relaxing Getaway
This is a lovely peaceful home on the south side of Eagle Lake, with great summer views of sunrises and sunsets and the beautiful shades of blue in the water. The Keurig coffee maker makes a full pot or just a cup to enjoy mornings on the deck, while listening to the beautiful calls of the loons and watching fish randomly jumping up from the water’s surface. These were just a few things we loved about this home. We hope to visit again!
