Family members that had mobility issues stayed in the bedroom on the first floor. The bathroom is small, and we couldn't get a walker into the bathroom. The other issue to be aware of is that Internet is spotty at best. I happened to have job interviews while I was at the house and had to go somewhere else to do the online interview. Otherwise a fun place to stay. Thank you! ##### Kathleen K. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvette G.

Loved the sauna (especially because it was a colder week), loved how well the house is stocked - household items all available like soaps and kitchen stuff, in addition to a generous supply of firewood. House is very clean and well looked after, neighborhood is quiet and family friendly as well. Our host was amazing, very quick to respond to questions! Lake area is quiet so we could swim, but lake is huge so the water is cold, we brought gear to swim in cold water. ##### Veronika T. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney L. Jul 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family spot! We had a fantastic time at the Ranier cabin! Our family is originally from I’Falls, so we’re familiar with the area, lake, and local activities. The location was great for all the above. The cabin was clean, had so many amenities, and was a perfect fit for our group. We were on the beach and in the water everyday! The bedrooms/bathrooms were great for our different family groups. One thing that we had to watch was the stair railing - the gap between the spindles is pretty wide so we had to supervise our littles going up and down. Overall we had a wonderful experience and will be back! ##### Courtney L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Deanna K.

Great place for a family gathering, with great sleeping accommodations for multiple families. Kitchen was really well stocked, we appreciated the extra fridge. I gave it 4 stars...only because there is a need for a new TV, the remote was broken and we couldn't log in to the smart TV. Also, with how big the house is more lounge seating in the TV/pool table room is needed. Overall, everyone with us loved it and even made the comment let's make this an annual trip!! ##### Deanna K.

We very highly recommend this house. The owner was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. The house is HUGE!! Our two families had tons of space. The view is breathtaking. The kids had so much fun swimming out to the rocks and playing in the sand during the day, and doing fire pits and listening to the loons at night. Awesome location, too! We enjoyed the 5 minute walk into town a few times for lunch and ice cream. We did some day trips around the National Park, rented a pontoon for a day, and loved walking around and shopping in nearby International Falls. It was a perfect trip! ##### Judy H.

I am very happy my family and I were able to stay here for a short weekend. The weather was perfect and the home and property was gorgeous. Coffee in the morning with the beautiful view or Rainy Lake was just blissful. The water sport toys and the sauna was a nice surprise. Thank you for letting us use it. 4\* for cleanliness was because there were a ton of spiderwebs and dead flies in the corners and on the carpet. Didn't bother me much though. I just took out the vacuum cleaner to clean it up. Otherwise this home had everything you needed, from kitchenware, laundry detergent, and excess towels. I appreciate the hospitality. My family would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you so much for allowing my family to create wonderful memories in your home. ##### Kay H.

Aug 5, 2020 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Not a great experience While this house offers square footage, it is more conducive to families rather than multiple couples. The only two places to sit and socialize are the kitchen table with wooden chairs and an extremely uncomfortable couch in the living/game room. When we booked this house, it pictured a master with a king bed and a separate room with a queen plus two additional rooms. Upon arrival the queen bed had been put in the master with the king and the other rooms had either bunk beds or a sofa sleep. Again, not conducive to multiple couples. The site also pictured a garage, implying it was included. This was Not the case. There seemed to be multiple “projects” going on. There was a pile of dock accessories in the middle of the living room floor and a half-completed deck being added off the kitchen. While we understand the deck cannot be completed quickly, there was indication that it had not been addressed in weeks. The exterior had piles of landscaping supplies also. The master apparently had walls/partitions removed leaving large gaps in the carpet, that created a tripping hazard. And do not plan of drying your hair in the master bath. It was great that a dryer was provided but, there was no electrical plug. Just one down by the floor, next to the door and behind a small table. There was also no door on the master bathroom, which we thought was a bit strange. There also was apparently a miscommunication with the cleaning crew. Upon arrival the house was still very dirty, and beds were unmade. After a 12-hour drive, we had to fully clean and make the beds. With that, it may sound picky but, the carpet was stained in multiple places. Gross and nasty!! When we went to use the gas grill, the tank was faulty and had to be replaced before it could be used. At our cost! Positives…views of the lake were incredible, especially at sunrise. The cooler weather allowed us to have windows open at night which made for great sleeping. The bed in the master was wonderful. The guys had great fishing every day. All these issues were conveyed to the owners but fell upon deaf ears. We held off posting a review, to see if they would get back with us. This was not the case, so we chose to post an honest review. ##### Roger L. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Liz A. Aug 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Could have been perfect This home was spacious and clean, and easily accommodated our family of 8 adults and 3 children. The kitchen was well equipped and the extra dining area was a plus. The water toys were absolutely awesome! The downsides of our stay were mostly due to the aftermath of the flooding. Despite communication prior to our stay that there were "sandbags on the property", we were not at all prepared for the continuous 6 foot wall of sandbags surrounding the home and obstructing the beach access, lake view, and fire pit. We understand that the city is responsible for removing the sandbags, but this home was one of only two houses in the entire area that was still surrounded. There was also an enormous uprooted tree in the front yard, and the electricity on one side of the house was not working, which meant we didn't have any outdoor lights at night. Our family would have greatly appreciated an honest and accurate portrayal of what the situation was like before arriving. I also wonder if there was something further the hosts could have done to mitigate the effects of the sandbags on the overall experience. Despite this, we are considering staying here again next summer and hope that the next guests get much clearer descriptions of the state of the property before arriving. ##### Liz A.

The kitchen is well equipped, 2 dining areas inside and a beautiful deck. Kids really enjoyed the kayaks and beach sand. The yard is clean and neat. Cons: (suggestions for improvements) Stairway railings are far apart and unsafe for children, put in queen beds instead of doubles, perhaps convert the downstairs den into another sleeping area, and the burners on the grill don't work well so you need to watch that closely. We see that the owner is making improvements each year and that has been very nice! ##### Polly D. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Traci s. Jul 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great space, beach and location We had a great stay at this property! The first day we arrived, I was a little thrown off with the staining on the carpet however it was clean, just stained and with it being on the beach and with so much outdoor time, it makes sense. I've never rented a house with the amount of amenities as this one has! I brought way more with us than what we needed as they had everything! The water toys are the icing on the cake for this property! The kayaks and paddle boards were really nice to have and they are all great quality! It's listed in the housing info, however the number of beds in the master bedroom was interesting. If you have young kids and want them in the room with you, it would be perfect. If I owned the house though, I would move one of the beds from the master to the room on the main floor. The house itself is huge and there is not a shortage on things to do between the outdoor toys and ping ping/pool table. You can tell the owner is putting money back into the property with several bathrooms redone. The house is within walking distance to Ranier which was nice for a morning stroll. The owner was quick to reply to me when I needed to reach out. I would 100% recommend this property and we plan on looking to rent again next year! ##### Traci s.
