Beautiful Location
This was a great place for our family vacation. We had 4 adults, a 3 year old & 10 month old twins. The kitchen was set up well, there was plenty of room inside and outside. Nice little beach area for little kids to "swim" and the lake was wonderful. We had pretty good luck fishing and the bay we found for swimming was great. Not a super busy lake at the time we were there, so that was a plus! Would definitely recommend this location to others!

Peaceful
If you are looking to relax on a quiet lake this is the place. Very beautiful lake where you can swim, fish or kayak. Neighbors are very friendly. The walking trail across the street is a lot of fun, but you definitely need bug dope. The water toys and equipment are super fun. It's nice that they rake a little beach area so it isn't so weedy. We didn't have the best weather, some days were rainy, but we had games to play indoors. The outdoor firepit looks nice, but it was too rainy and windy for us to get a chance to use it. The house was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. Plenty of space for a peaceful, relaxing beautiful vacation.

Home on the lake
We had a very relaxing time at this lake house. The water toys were put to great use! So thankful the toys were there to use. The house was very clean and spacious for our little family. The back deck was so relaxing to drink coffee and watch the lake from, I even saw two humming birds staring at me:) However there were many mosquitoes in the evening that it was impossible to enjoy our fire. That was ok though because we were able to watch a movie all together. Enjoy our stay in Minnesota.

Secluded and quiet
We had a very peaceful and quiet time. The home fit all 9 of us in our family easily, although we had to be a little creative to get everyone around the tableat meal times. Beds and furniture were comfortable, and the main level with the 2 patio doors looking onto the lake was such a nice view! The home, though close to other properties, feels secluded and private as trees separate the homes. Another review commented on the distance to towns/shopping, and it does take about 20 min to reach the nearest town. The lake was quiet, and during the week we only saw 2 or 3 boats each day. We definitely used the kayaks and paddle boat to their full potential. Our kids enjoyed swimming by the dock. It is a gradual slope in the water, so kids could touch long past the end of the dock. I enjoyed the quiet walking trails, but definitely needed bug spray for those! Overall it was a relaxing and peaceful stay!

Nice lake house!
Comfortable lake house on a great fishing and swimming lake near Brainerd attractions. It is a little drive to to the nearest town (about a half hour) so come prepared. There is also public water access on the far north end of the lake for bringing your own boat. Our group was 4 adults and 5 children ranging from ages 3-11 and everyone was very happy with the stay.

Nice secluded location on Ross Lake
Overall we enjoyed the stay. The kitchen was well appointed, containing a very nice collection of pots and pans and food storage containers. It could have used some more food prep materials such as mixing bowls and spatulas/spoons. The beds were firm, but comfortable. The linens provided were more than sufficient for our stay. The water toys were used a lot! The kayaks, paddle boards and lilly pad were great to have, especially when a fishing lure got caught in the weeds. The lake bottom around the dock was very mucky, nearly stealing sandals off feet. The location around the dock is not great for swimming, but the sand beach would be sufficient for small kids. The lake is reasonably quiet with lots of pontoons, but not a lot of speed boats. Bring bug spray because it has been a long time since I've had to deal with such an influx of mosquitoes - unbelievable amount of bugs. The listing mentioned there may or may not be firewood - there was very little available. There was a neighbor advertising free firewood, so we grabbed some from them. The listing also noted that there was a charcoal grill available, but there wasn't one on the property. The gas grill worked fine, but we had planned some meals around the charcoal grill. Understand if you book this place that it is about a 30 minute drive to Aitkin or Cross Lake - Emily is about 20 minutes away. If you need something from a store, plan to have to travel. Overall it was a good stay.

This is a great spot, very secluded on a heavily wooded lot. The best part were all the awesome water toys - a lili pad, paddle boat, paddle board and kayaks. Kept the kids super busy and we all had a lot of fun. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again!

Beautiful property, fantastic lake that doesn't have hardly any traffic. Water toys are so much fun. Peaceful relaxing vacation. Couldn't ask for any more. Be aware of the mosquitoes they don't mess around...bring lots of bug spray(they spray the property, would be afraid what it would be like if they didn't).

Great Weekend Away!
Beautiful property. All sleeping rooms are on the second level, which was really for kids - the kids could be upstairs napping while we were on the main floor. Nice large yard so the kids could play. There is a small, clean beach next to the lake. The kids had fun playing in the sand. The lake was really muddy so not much time was spent swimming in the lake. Would stay here again!

Week at Ross Lake
We really enjoyed our time here. It was clean and comfortable for all of us. The lake area was easy for kids to enjoy. The kids really liked the lily pad, and my daughter now wants a stand up paddle board of her own. The only thing that was negative was that we couldn’t get the WiFi to work in the beginning. It worked after rebooting, and we located the correct password (it was not the same as was emailed to us).

Comfortable & clean, great lake
This was a great, relaxing location for 5 adults and 1 adventurous 20 mo. old. The house was clean, spacious and provided enough activities for when we wanted to be indoors. We appreciated the large kitchen, selection of movies and games, and the deck. The bedrooms were good sized and relatively sound proof so we didn't have to worry about loud talking or music if someone was sleeping in or napping. The yard is nice. Beautiful views all throughout the day and easy to find sun or shade for outdoor activities. The beach and water toys were a huge bonus. The water was about 2.5-3 ft deep at the end of the dock which was great for wading or floating. The bottom is rather mucky, so sandals with straps or Crocs work well, but water shoes are best if you prefer to keep your feet covered. We had great fishing as well. Bass and panfish off the dock, as well as bass, northern and panfish all around the lake. It was not difficult to find fish! No complaints, a wonderful place to make some vacation memories with family.

Great getaway in northern MN
We spent a week at this location for our summer getaway and would book it again for future trips. The location is great, it’s very quiet and for the week before the 4th the lake traffic was surprisingly low. The house it itself is very comfortable and we felt at home right away. It is as advertised, and it was very clean. We made most of the SUP & kayaks, spent every afternoon on the water. Lake is very clean. 5 star location all the way around.
