My family enjoyed the roominess of this large "classic" A-frame. It was very clean and well-stocked with the essentials (e.g., kitchenware, towels). The fully finished basement, with its own kitchen, was a hit with my college-aged kids. Having access to the kayaks (and life vests) was a true highlight of our stay. As was the firepit for roasting hot dogs and Smores. Connie (Host) was very responsive to questions and needs. If you need access to the Twin Cities or nearby, yet also want time on a lake, this is a great option that meets both goals.
