Our family had a very great and positive experience staying at this cozy and spacious property on beautiful Ann Lake. The location was perfect, as it was far enough out of the Twin Cities to "feel" like you're going on a cabin vacation, but really only a 55 minute drive made it even better so that we didn't have to spend hours in the car each way. The lake itself is beautiful, with very clear water, perfect for enjoying swimming, especially in the deep water. It was refreshing to have access to a clean lake that has a rustic feel to it. The other properties along the lake are older-fashioned, which is a nice break from the lakes that are now so-often lined with mansions and perfectly-coiffed and landscaped lawns whose fertilizers contribute to the growth of green algae slime. The beach area along the shore of the property was very nice. A few uncontrollable things that we experienced were the beach area being a little weedy and several piles of goose poop on the beach, but those were not deal breakers! Perhaps having a rake available for raking some of that away from the area where we set up our lawn chairs on the beach would be great to have handy. Having the dock to tie up our boat was perfect, and the kayaks and paddle boat were also a lot of fun to be able to use! We also loved having AC in the cabin, which made it more comfortable for sleeping, and having the washer and dryer was nice to be able to do a load of towels mid-week. The decor inside the cabin was cute, cozy and fresh, and we really enjoyed being able to hook up our TV and Amazon Fire Stick to watch TV later at night after all of the other outdoor activities and card games were complete. The large open kitchen area and walk-out back door were great and contributed to the overall enjoyment of the weekend. We also loved having the ability to visit the Uncas Dunes State Park nearby, which was a fun little adventure. Beautiful area with a beautiful forest landscape. We definitely recommend this gem of a property, not far from the Twin Cities, on a beautiful lake lined with historic cabins.
