Great Spot
Very enjoyable home on the lake. The house sits right up to the edge of the lake and is very comfortable with some great rooms to enjoy the view and sunrises.

Lovely Winter Getaway
We loved our stay here! My two kids (10&13) especially loved the game room. We flew in from CA to meet our two Minneapolis friends at this perfect lake house. It had everything we needed. The view of the lake was just beautiful-especially the mornings I managed to catch the sunrise over the lake. We loved cozying up by the fireplace and cooking great dinners in the kitchen. The hosts were fabulous and responsive. Couldn’t recommend this place more for a quick getaway with friends!

Extended family holiday
Shared this home with my brother and his young adult children. We had plenty of room to cook, socialize and play games together. We will definitely look into this property for future get togethers.

Great Lake Place Near the North Metro
We stayed here for our annual sibling get together and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Daniel and Heather were wonderful hosts and good communicators. This property is truly better than the description and everyone in our group was delighted. It's located close to the metro but still far enough to feel like a getaway.

Peaceful Retreat
My husband and I had a great stay at the house. We LOVED the views. So nice to be able to see the water whether you were upstairs or downstairs!! We very much liked how quiet it was at the house. We used the game room which was nice since it did turn out to be a little rainy while we were there. We would definitely return to this house. Great stay!!

Forest Lake 5*
First time visiting Forest Lake, and would go back in a heartbeat. Dan and Heather were extremely helpful in offering suggestions in the area and in pre-booking. If we would’ve had issues (we had none) I know they would’ve been taken care of it immediately. The porch and dock were where we spent most of the time, they are as picturesque as advertised! Plenty of places to sleep and the game room will be a great escape for those with kids. We all enjoyed our stay and it will be in consideration for next summer!!!

Family fun Lake house
This is the ideal property in the twin cities area for family or a group of friends! The house is beautiful and spacious and the game room was a big hit after a day in the lake. The place comes with kayaks, fishing poles, floaties and a beautiful dock to sit and enjoy the sunset and moon rise. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and very helpful all along the way with the booking process to check-out. Couldn’t recommend this property more.

Nice house, weedy lake
The property was great overall, and the game room was a nice feature. The lake was extremely weedy though, so that part was disappointing.
