Not high end glam but so comfortable, everything you need, including great deck time ,grilling over charcoal , enjoying morning coffee ,sunset views, and firepit ambiance..
Top 3 things. VIEW!, shower presuure and king bed!! You can tell the owners are improving things on the inside. Flooring, ceiling, kitchen,bathroom are all remodeled. Basic needs are there as deacribed. VIEW is amazing! Outside does not look like it has been updated yet but as soon as you see the view you wont notice. Clear lake saw lots of fish jump, some geese, birds and chipmunks. quiet and friendly neighbors.Train is close by and it was harvest season so went by regularly. Good bar burgers in town. Alexandria is only half hour.Perfect for a relaxing weekend for my husband and I. Best of all we got to check out late and watch the vikings win! Thanks Marnie!
Spent weekend there with my best friend and his two seven year old daughters. We were even able to bring our dogs along. Property was well stocked with all the things we needed (not food, obviously). We had a great time just hanging out and fishing off the dock. Only drawback was water was too mucky to swim on that side of the lake the weekend we went.
House was clean and comfortable, well equipped, we had everything we needed. Lake is beautiful! Outside of house could use some work. We did bring a small gas grill with us so didn’t use grill provided. Will keep it in mind for the future.

It was good I was a little disappointed about the fire pit. When we got there it was in ok shape but once we had a fire going it fell apart. The house was decent to stay in. The pictures looked better than when we got there.
The cabin was a great getaway for a weekend with friends. 4 women, I'd say any more people than that would feel crowded. The ceiling fan didnt work in one of the rooms so it got hot overnight, but the a/c in the living room helped for the rest of the time. The cabin is right on the water which was great and the deck was a nice size to hangout on. 2 in our group cut their feet on zebra mussels in the water, but there's not too much the owner can do about that, just a note for future renters. We werent looking for anything fancy, just a cabin on a lake to get together and this served that purpose. We had a great time.

Parking was good. The street is very quiet. It’s an old path to walk down to the cabin, the outside lawn/ flowerbeds and cabin need attention. Inside the cabin was really nice and clean, new floors comfy couch nice big dinner table. However it’s lacking enough towels & wash clothes no instructions on how to operate tv/ ac and it could use some lamps. The deck and dock are nice but nearly impossible to get in / out of the lake it’s large rocks for the shoreline. It met our needs for our weekend motorcycle trip but I wouldn’t rent again if a weekend at the lake was what I wanted.
This cabin was exactly what we wanted…we LOVED it!! We were happy to find parking off-street in a safe quiet neighborhood. We met neighbors on both sides and they were lovely, friendly people. There are a couple restaurant/bars in this small town that are good too. But it’s a small town with only a gas station, no grocery store so come with supplies. Lol
The deck is awesome. We spent most of our time out there. We brought a folding table and our own camp chairs but there were a couple camp chairs there. We fished from the dock, we grilled, had a fire in the pit a couple nights, and enjoyed our coffee every morning on the deck.
The bedrooms are basic but the beds are all comfortable. The linens feel like hand-me-downs so investing in high-end linens would make guest feel like guests.
The kitchen has a lot of plates, cups, mugs, and pans, not enough silverware or cooking utensils. We bought a bunch at the thrift store and donated :-) Everything works and there is plenty of counter space for prep.
The huge windows in the living room are great for the lake views. The breeze is also fantastic. There is a window a/c in the living room which cools the main living space but it doesn’t reach the bedrooms well. We found after dark, we opened the windows and it was cool enough to sleep.
The cabin is a great place, Marnie was quick to respond to questions, we will definitely be back!
Perfect for our 4 day/3 night summer getaway. Cabin included so much to enjoy our stay. The AC worked terrific and the dock was connected directly to the deck making super easy access to swim, fish and kayak. We loved the large deck, bbq grill & fire pit as well.
Great communication! Amazing views right on the shoreline of the lake. Easy to get kayaks in and out of. This rustic cabin had everything we needed and the hosts really take care of the place. The small town of Barrett is a gem.
We LOVE this place! It’s relaxing & comfotable…and there’s something magical about the deck…I can sit out there for hours. There are beautiful sunrise views, fishing on the dock is so handy, and people in town are so nice. I wish there was a ladder so we could swim here but the town beach is nice.
Cabin is nicely decorated. Kitchen has every utensil, dishes and kettles that you need for making a meal. Lots of towels. Lawn chairs to sit on deck. Basically all you need to bring is food and your clothes! Owner quickly responded to every text.
Clean, welcoming home accurately advertised. Great space for enjoying the views of the lake. We had a successful fishing weekend catching walleye, northern, bass, crappie, sheepshead, and sunfish. Charcoal grill and fire pit made for peaceful evenings.
Needed a place to stay for a reunion in the area. Perfect location for this, especially since we were at the Pavilion in Barrett one of the days. That was within walking distance. Awesome views of the lake from the porch and living room, the last night especially! Sheets, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent etc all available at property.
