We loved our stay at the lake retreat for a few days over Winter break. The house is beautiful, modern and relaxing! We loved all the amenities and how fully stocked it was, which made it easier to cook dinner and enjoy our time there and feel like home.
Our kids loved the hot chocolate in the kuerig and we used a fun thermos to bring it on excursions. They loved exploring the house and all the fun details.
We shoveled a small trail on the lake and went ice skating, then we went snow tubing at Wild Mountain (really fun!). Trollhaugen is probably a little closer but the tubing sessions were all booked there (both needs to be booked in advance online).
We also went to Willow river state park which is a gem! Great sledding hill for the kids, nature paths and cross country skiing. The waterfall is really cool but a steep hill makes it a little challenging to get to. Great recommendation from the hosts!
If I would list any cons it would be;
1. No blinds in the master bedroom. We had a hard time sleeping due to light at the end of December, so if you like it dark maybe bring an eye mask.
2. There is a large house being built next door and there was construction noice and banging one of the days. It looks like it’s pretty close to completion though.
3. It was really expensive if we wanted to add another family (sister in law), which felt like a bummer since we had the extra beds.
Still we would give it five stars and highly recommend!!
