"Empty old burger king building "

"When looking for a lake cabin getaway, one thing that was very important to us was that our cabin was dog friendly and that there were dog-friendly activities nearby. This cabin is located very closely to battle lake which has a dog-friendly brewery and dog friendly cidery to enjoy. This area truly feels like a Minnesota outdoors experience, especially if you're just looking for some low-key lake hangs and breathing in the fresh air. We have been socializing our 6-month-old dog who's gone through puppy training classes and this cabin offered us space to see how he would do outside of his normal comfort zones and experience swimming in the lake for the first time as well as taking him to the dog friendly brewery to socialize. Our vacation felt very private and very comforting for our first vacation with our new doggie. The owner let us know ahead of time that there's a pretty fast drop off and no beach, so we brought a life jacket for our puppy and he did so great hanging out with us on the lake while we paddle boarded. Having access to kayaks and paddle boards was such a fun perk for this vacation and honestly one of the reasons we chose this property. The property itself was very clean and spacious and felt just right for us especially since we like to cook our own meals on vacation and spend less money eating out this lake cabin getaway provided everything we needed. Highly recommend!"

"We came to the area for a family reunion. This cabin was truly perfect for our group. Great separation of space for all the adults. The cabin and lake were great. We loved it! Would definitely come back. Maybe for a fall get away. Thank you!"

"Staff was very nice "

"Excellent breakfast options...room was average."

"Hotel was clean , spacious and the staff was efficient. This property is well cared for. Also was comfortable and up to date."

"We had extended family ranging in age from babies to great grandparents and there was enough room for all of us to be together and enough private spaces when we needed to be apart. The hosts did a great job of communicating and trying to make us feel at home and providing us with pertinent property information. Most of the beds are comfortable, sofa sleeper not so much, but that is to be expected. At this house we had a great time bonding as a family. We put together a ping pong tournament, the kids had a polar plung challenge in the cold morning lake and we loved the old school pacman games. Great place to get away!"

"Nice"

"We fished, kayaked, visited Alexandria’s independent book store and relaxed surrounded by bird sounds. The northern light display soaking in the hot tub pretty much sums it up. For three days we saw no others on the lake. Cabin has that up north Minnesota feel. We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were traveling but kept in touch. Thank You"
