Cattails Cabin is a really special place. Given the short drive from the Twin Cities, it was remarkable and surprising how far we felt we had escaped from the rush of our daily lives. Note: Within 11 minutes of the cabin there's a well-equipped shopping area with a Cub, MGM Liquor, Target, Home Depot, Menards, Office Max and Petco. So, you can confidently leave your shopping until then and not have to worry about ice, coolers and transporting lots of perishables from home. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, knives and pots and pans...with the one exception that it would be great to have a few more mugs! The appliances and countertops are new and make food prep really pleasant. The coffee and chocolates were a great treat! The water pressure in the kitchen is on the low side, but the shower was plenty strong...not sure why this is! We brought drinking water and kept it in the roomy fridge. There is a very big freezer as well as plenty of grilling space outdoors. We appreciated being able to do a couple of loads of laundry and being able to dry our clothes when the weekend got soggy! The bedrooms and bathrooms are nice and the king bed in the master is especially comfortable. The huge HD TV worked well with our Firestick though a Roku was provided for those who don't have anything to bring with them. The sectional offered plenty of room for all of us to hang out and watch movies, play games or just talk. We particularly enjoyed the following: 1. The screens and updated windows on the "second living room" aka a 4-seasons type room between the kitchen and the master bedroom, which is where we played tons of games while enjoyed watching what was going on outdoors. 2. The paddle boat, good fishing (we caught bass and pike as well as crappies) and abundant wildlife in the cattails (we saw otters, red-winged blackbirds, heron and more) offered plenty of entertainment. 3. The sunsets are truly as incredible as the owners say. You will want to watch them unfold for hours and can do that from a number of places both indoors and out. For example, there's a great fire pit where we made smores and stared at the sky. 4. The hammock is very comfortable and easily accommodates several people. Our dog Lucky spent hours on a tie out in the yard near the hammock. She was SO happy being near her people yet outside. Thank you for letting us share your lovely corner of Minnesota!
