"Room and lobby was clean, rustic northwoods decor was a bit dated but charming. Staff was very nice and helpful. Pool, hot tub, restaurant look permanently closed. Hopefully there are plans to reopen at some point in the future, especially as local options for dining are limited. Good value for what we paid for lake view balcony room, only a few other guests at the time we stayed. "

"David was great with communicating. Very quick to respond. We rented both Loon and Grand. Beautiful place to stay. It had everything we could want - great parking, kitchen was well stocked, as was the bedroom, bathroom and the entire lodge. Great location too. Snowmobile trails were very close. "

"Weekend get away! House was amazing, clean and great communication with the owners. We would come back again. "

"Amazing place to stay"

"Very nice location on the lake. Clean, roomy cabin. Great deck!"

"This place is amazing. The location is prime to go into Voyageurs in no time at all, but you barely need to with the location of the property. Secluded in a private bay that protects from any wind or noise, just a couple of fishing boats floating by on occasion. The interior is really decked out from the perfect north woods decor to the quick internet and multiple large areas for people to hang out. The one thing that would make it even more perfect would be a sauna!"

"advice - it stated in the description that is sleeps 6 - there was only 4 chairs at the dining table - so thankfully there were chairs in the bunk house we brought to the main cabin - ALSO only 4 chairs on the deck so we asked Emily for some lawn chairs to accommodate the six of us . this is minor but also a couple of chairs on the deck of the bunk house would have been great to enjoy the beautiful view. we were lacking in spoons also . Just wanted the host to know this for the next customers "

"Lovely Trip #4 at Gary’s Lake HomeWe’ve had another wonderful stay at Gary’s beautiful lake home. The property offers stunning views, cozy charm, and unique architectural character—especially the vaulted ceilings and warm natural light that make the space feel so inviting.That said, this year we did notice some changes in cleanliness compared to past visits. We found a few items left behind in the master bedroom and bathroom (clothing, hair ties, even trash from a previous guest), and we also had some issues with mice getting into food and leaving droppings in drawers. In past years, traps were provided, but we didn’t find any this time. I’d recommend storing dry goods in sealed containers if you stay here.The furniture and mattresses are beginning to show their age, but the home overall remains comfortable, cozy, and truly special. Despite the challenges this visit, we still love returning here and hope to see a bit more attention to maintenance and cleanliness for future guests."

"We enjoyed our stay and the unlimited options for boating and fishing. It was nice to meet the owner in person. If you are looking for a small fishing cabin close (by boat) to the marina with the option to travel by boat miles and miles away, this is it! Handberg marina staff were very helpful and courteous. The views from the deck are relaxing, but be sure you can climb the hill to the cabin with your supplies. As some others have said, it is right by the big cabin but we still felt isolated enough."
