We traveled with a few groups of friends for a board game and puzzle weekend. This place suited our group great! We booked three nights and were all arriving at different times and the host was very accommodating on helping us with the parking, though we did travel during the "off" season so that may have helped. The house itself is as pictured, and as some mentioned the basement was a little rustic but nothing at all unexpected for being in the Northwoods. We were very comfortable with a group of 8 here. As mentioned in the listing there is no dishwasher which was not a problem for us, the sink was plenty big for dishes, and otherwise the kitchen was extremely well appointed, we cooked all of our meals for 3 days with no issues. We used the grill on the deck one night which was really fun.We brought our dog as well who had the BEST time! The deck on the back of the house is even bigger than it looks on the pictures, and is almost overhanging the lake. Furniture upstairs was all very comfortable, table big enough for games, and there was a card table as well that we utilized. I slept on a lower bunk downstairs and while it got chilly at night there were extra blankets and sleeping bags and it was really cozy. We're already trying to plan a weekend to return in the fall. A short 2 hour drive from the twin cities made it an easy place to get to after work, and for some of our sports gamblers they enjoyed being ~25 minutes from turtle lake casino. Also this isn't too far from some great hiking in the chippewa moraine forest area. Would recommend to any friends, had a great time!
