Hope to make it back someday" - Henry, 2023-08-15 Positive aspects: Would Book Again --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "House was as described if not better! Clean, comfortable and great communication regarding check in and easy check out. Great value and will definitely book again." - Boyd, 2025-11-16 Positive aspects: Cleaning, Manager Communication, Checkin, As Advertised --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "This was a perfect, quiet lake home for a family girl's weekend! We loved both the indoor and outdoor spaces. It was accessible and relaxing. The house had everything we needed. The communication and services of the host were fantastic! We'd happily return!" - Mary, 2025-08-09 Positive aspects: Manager Communication, Well Equipped, Quiet --- ### Family Friendly Cottage! (5/5 stars) "We stayed five nights at Waters edge retreat with our daughter and her husband and their two children ages six and two. The accommodations were perfect! The cottage was recently updated and spotless! It had ample room for our group, including laundry. It was well stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, spices, extra paper, towel, etc. Dishes and pots and pans were all in beautiful condition! There is no zero entry into the lake, but it is very shallow near shore and we had no problem swimming there with the six-year-old. The two-year-old wasn't interested lol. There is also a large sandy beach and public park just a couple minutes away if you have real young children. The responsiveness of management was excellent and we even met the very kind owner. We highly recommend!" - Shelly, 2025-07-18 Positive aspects: Cleaning, Manager Communication, Size, Well Equipped --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "Loved the property. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bed in the main bedroom was comfortable. The lake was just a short walk out the door.

The view out to the lake is absolutely phenomenal. Sitting on one of the multiple deck/patio options while reading and listening to the kids play in the shallow water and light waves crashing was just the relaxation I needed! The home was very clean and well organized. And the neighbors SO kind and hospitable! Even giving us a tour of the beautiful lake!! Thank you so much Minnesota.

The lake was very quiet and peaceful during the week which was nice. We had a large branch fall from a tree nearby overnight. The host was very responsive. Not many restaurants close by...you have to drive about 15 minutes to get to some good ones. That wasn't a problem for us though. If we are ever in the area, we would definitely stay here again!7" - Ashley, 2025-06-25 Positive aspects: Manager Communication, Sleep or Bed **Host Response:** "Thank you so much for your kind review!

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back soon." --- ### Review (5/5 stars) "Great location by the lake. Nice restaurants close by. Walmart was about 20min away so it was nice to cook meals and bbq at the Airbnb. Everything in the home was labeled nicely. Lots of pots and pans, coffee, utensils, etc. Only thing I'd request for next time would be some kayaks and paddle boards to use. We will be back next year and I've recommended spot to some family already." - Remy, 2024-07-20 Positive aspects: Great location, Well Equipped **Host Response:** "Thank you for your kind review!
