We loved our stay at Castaway! It was the perfect quick trip, only about an hour from the Twin Cities. We brought our infant son and the place was the perfect size for our little family or a small group. The views cannot be beat, we had to be inside more due to some rainy weather and having an infant, and it was still so beautiful. When the weather was good, we had multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy with a large deck and two fire pit spaces. Vicky was an excellent host, very communicative and lots of amenities were available. We enjoyed cooking with the pizza oven (indoor appliance) and outdoor grill. She even offered that we could rent their pontoon, and to show us how to use it if needed. We did not decide to do the rental based on having our infant, but there was still a paddle boat, canoe, and kayak available for use included. Kitchen and bathroom had lots of supplies for a comfortable stay, and I enjoyed a warm bath in the claw foot tub 2/3 nights (with no issues filling the tub with hot water). We would love to return to Castaway or one of Vicky’s other properties in the future!
