Family Reunion
With a growing family, we needed more beds for our adult children and this cabin is on the same lake as our family cabin. It had enough room for our group and was conveniently located. Reggie was responsive and accommodating and worked with our needs. The cabin has a lovely view and plenty of space to spread out. The upstairs AC and fans kept the cabin a comfortable temperature. A hawk visited the porch railing!

I am very happy with our stay. I would highly recommend this property. Very well stocked kitchen! Great lift for going up and down to the lake! This makes it easy for anyone to enjoy the beautiful lake. Beautiful deck to enjoy sunsets. The pontoon we rented for extra was great to really enjoy the lake and have some fun. The host was great to communicate with responded promptly. And even checked on us once.

Lake time
If you want to relax, this is a great place to do it! The cabin is well equipped with everything you need to get away from it all. A good selection of books, games, and the view of the lake from the deck made this a great place for us to unplug, kick back and enjoy our time together! The host is easily contacted and responsive. Thanks Reggie!

Wonderful place to stay!
Just finished a visit to this cabin - returning after a stay here last year. The host is very attentive - comes by for an initial tour and answers questions, then easily available by email - and the cabin is nicely stocked with a lot of extras. Very near to New Richmond - lots of nice restaurants - and also near lovely Willow River State Park. Bass Lake is very pretty and quiet. We recommend this place for a great “cabin-on-a-lake experience”!

Felt dirty and mildewy
The person who owns the cabin is very nice, but the cabin has a ton of their personal things inside. For example, old robes hanging on the bathroom doors, clothes in the drawers... it felt very dirty. I had to quick and clean before more guests arrived, sweep the stairs, and clean out all the spider webs from the paddle boat and canes. I opened all the windows to get the mildewy smell out especially in the basement.

Great cabin on a lake
We stayed here with 9 women for a bachelorette party of women in their mid 30s! We had noticed in some of the reviews of the listing some slightly negative things, but the boat and some of the interior decor had been updated since those reviews. We had a great stay, Reggie was awesome to work with!

Two friends and I rented this cabin for two nights. It's so fantastic! It had everything we hoped for--lakefront, gorgeous views (that porch in the trees!), a hot tub, and space for all of us to have a bed. We're already plotting a return visit!

Late family Christmas
This cabin was the perfect location for our family to get together from Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. We had such a great time. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us and the winter weather was perfect. Some people ice fished with some nice catches, some just played in the snow. We played games, and even spent a little time in the hot tub. We hope to came back in the summer.

Robert was a phone call away with any questions or needs we had. My son Tanner would have been 26 yrs old on Dec 2…. We celebrated him, lit a couple Chinese lanterns over the beautiful lake, took walks with our dog. Neighbors were friendly and inviting ! Thankyou for sharing your home with us, we would definitely rent this place again!

Not exactly what we expected
I need to say that this was not the cabin we expected for the premium price we paid. We had a good time, the owner was nice and accommodating, however the cabin could use some really big cleaning. It’s jammed with little things like hundreds of dolls and little things all over the place. That made us think about the cleaning process and we had concerns with dust and places inside that it’s impossible to clean and dust. Also the carpet was super old and nasty looking. We all thought what could be underneath the carpet. Also the kitchen was very dated and not clean, we found dishes and utensils that were never washed after use, which it was disgusting. If you have a little kid and you go to this place, it would be a horrible choice! The lift was very nice to use, however it wasn’t working properly and we almost got stuck one time because it stopped in the middle. Luckily our friends were in the cabin and we call them so they activated the lift. We paid to use the so called pontoon (platform with plastic chairs basically). It was ok, however the motor was struggling with 4 people on board. Overall we made the best out of everything, but wouldn’t go back to this place if we have a chance. I am trying to be fair and express our group concerns sos other people know what to expect. I did not have an impression that we will be somewhat disappointed from reading the reviews. They all were great and cheerful for some reason. Our experience was different and not so great!
