The setting is beautiful, and we used the canoe to go around the lake. The living space worked really well for our family, we grilled and ate out on the deck. The bedrooms were fine, beds were comfortable. Steve was easily accessible -- got right back to us when we texted.
The house is near the highway and MSP airport so it is easy access, but not a secluded, quiet retreat. It was a nice place to go back to after a day in the city.
The lake was not swim-able, which was a disappointment. Otherwise we thought the house was a great place to hang out. Beautiful view from the house and the deck. And we saw the bald eagle up close-- that was great!
