Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice! We stayed with our friends, their two children and our son, all under 3. We loved it! The home had easy access to a ton of stuff in both Wisconsin and Minnesota. The beach is a bit rocky, but it's very large with a stunning view. When the kids would nap, we'd enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the boats. If you stay here you won't be disappointed. Also the tram was a nice surprise since bringing our stuff up and down the stairs would have been exhausting. We also enjoyed Deb's recommendation of Pier 500 in Hudson and Selma's ice cream in Afton. We loved both! We, for sure, will be back!
