"This cozy home is exactly what we needed. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The decor is well thought out and communicates a welcoming and comfortable home. Kara, the owner, was so hospitable and accommodating when we experienced an unexpected event. Indeed this beautiful setting is amongst the kindest people we’re have ever met. I highly recommend this place to stay."

"We had the most amazing trip. The fishing was great. Went swimming. Made campfires went to the Antler Store for ice cream. The lake is beautiful. The cabin is beautiful with plenty of room for our family of four and dog. Plenty of area for the dog to run around and play and swim. We can’t say enough good things about Rachel she was so helpful and quick to respond to the many questions we had. The Refuge at North Padre is an awesome place and we can’t wait to come back next summer. Just a wonderful place. "

"We had a fantastic stay at this cabin! When we arrived for 4th of July weekend we were expecting a busy, loud and boistrous lake. We incredibly surprised to learn how quiet and relaxing it is! Not busy at all for the 4th. The neighbors nearby are friendly but keep to themselves. The outdoor games and activities provided were a huge a bonus so we didnt have to haul ours. Also, the dog kennel outside was perfect!! Thanks to this stay, the hubby and I are talking about getting a cabin sooo if you're questioning whether or not to book it....just book it! You're welcome :) "

"Not only is this cabin beautifully decorated, it is perfectly cleaned. Spotless, really. And entirely dog friend, with an open floor plan and nothing extra laying around for a dog to get into. The view is lovely, too! "

"Beautiful historic log cabin with all the amenities you would want. The grounds are well kept and very scenic. The area is very peaceful, relaxing, and interesting. This is our second year coming to the Marcel Lodge and have had a fantastic experience both times."

"We're on a journey to visit every state park in Minnesota. We decided to come to the this area to celebrate my birthday and Father's day. We couldn't have found a better spot. It was super close to one of the parks and it was very quiet and inviting. Loved the subtle touches in the house and how we had everything we needed availabile to us. Very affordable too! Highly recommend to anyone coming to the Side Lake area! "
