A beautiful, AIR CONDITIONED, CHALET LAKE HOME awaits your visit to the Brainerd Lakes Area. It is situated near Aitkin, MN on Sullivan Lake just over 2 hours North of the Twin Cities.

The home is very private, wooded and without nearby neighbors. Take a look at the aerial video of the property here on the VRBO site.

Great Rental
This was a great rental. The cabin has lots of space, the lake is a bit weedy by the dock but we took the pontoon out and swam/floated in the lake. The swimming platform was so fun for the kids to jump off of. The best well stocked rental we have EVER stayed in. Extra towels, bedding, kitchen was amazing. Very private yet not too far from town if you needed anything. Dave was a great host, provided all information needed and ideas of what to do in the area as well.

A great value in a peaceful spot
The property is as advertised on a very quite lake. We really enjoyed the pontoon boat watching the wildlife with pelicans, swans, and loons adding to the wooded beauty with no other boats. Fishing was mostly perch and catfish along with one Northern. A wet spring made the mosquitoes challenging but all the more reason to be on the boat in the lake with a breeze. Beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked. Definitely a great spot not far from the Twin Cities.

Beautiful cabin, clean, big and peaceful! We were 2 families with teenage kids and had a wonderful time at this cabin. Cabin is very spacious and equipped with everything you may need or want for your stay. Pantoon was a huge plus. Kayaks were fun for kids and adults! Lake is clean and deep and very enjoyable! David the owner is responsive and helpful. We would love to visit again!

Good experience
This is very much as shown in the pictures. It is very secluded, which is nice. I had a few questions before and during my stay and David was very responsive and helpful. The lake is small but the pontoon is nice and clean. It ran well, no problems with starting or anything. We didn't use the raft but it looked fine. The steps down to the lake are longer than I thought, but the slope (or grade) is very gentle so that’s very nice. The kitchen is well stocked with just about any pot or pan you could need. Knives were the only downside of the kitchen. There are a lot of knives, so there may be a good one, but we didn’t find any. He has a very thorough listing of what to bring, which he emails to you before your stay. It was really helpful. In general, everything was in good shape, clean and not worn out. An exception is the mattress in the downstairs bedroom. Our son said it was the worst mattress he ever slept in, and he’s slept in some 3rd world countries. The bed down there and couch were fine and that’s where they slept the other nights and left the big bed to a 4 year old. The only other negative was the grill. It wouldn’t start and it turned out the drip pan was full and needed to be emptied. It wasn’t clear how to empty this and my husband tipped the pan which spilled greasy, watery junk on my husband’s shirt and a lot on the patio floor. The floor was easy to wipe up, I don’t have the stain off my husband’s shirt yet after 2 cleanings.

Great get away
The cabin was exactly as advertised in the opportunity do use. The pontoon was a pretty fantastic thing. Just love being out water for a spin around the lake or to drop a few lines and catch some fish. Appreciated the space, quietness and the owners timely response on any questions we had. Our family enjoyed the time we had here it would definitely recommend it.

Great remote getaway
Took a family trip with my wife, father, sister and kids. The property worked great for what we needed and given when we booked it. If I had any critiques it would be the distance from town and other attractions (although this was very clearly communicated upfront), And the lake was quite small but the pontoon was a great amenity and ultimately the selling point. Very clean and great communication with the owner. Would recommend for sure

A Fun Week in MN
We rented this lake house for a week while we visited my brother who lives in Aitkin. Our group included 5 adults and 4 kids and the variety of sleeping arrangements on the main floor, basement and loft worked really well for us. We made use of all the boats and also did some swimming in the clear water. There is no beach access but we used a boat to ferry swimmers out to the swimming platform and that worked fine. The house and property were exactly "as advertised" and everything in the house worked and was in good repair.

Not a fishing lake and no lake views
This is a beautiful cabin and I would recommend if you are not looking to fish or expect a lake view when you are not on the dock. Host clearly takes pride in the home but there are signs all over the home that make it feel a bit less welcoming. I understand the reason for the signs, it’s just la bit much. Would suggest a book with rules and also offer suggestions for nearby amenities etc. I’m sure the host will post something to make my review seem unreasonable- I wish I would have noticed that trend in the reviews before I booked.

Great Family Getaway
The cabin was perfect. It had plenty of room for my whole family (including my in-laws). The communication was wonderful. My messages were responded to quickly. Having a boat on the property was amazing. We didn’t catch any huge fish but my 8 year old was able to catch a few small ones right off the dock. Could not have asked for a better place to spend time with my family. I would highly recommend.

Nice, peaceful location
We chose this rental because it was "away from the crowd". It was just that which was very enjoyable. I saw only two boats on the lake during the entire week. There are not a lot of homes on the lake which is nice. This fishing was challenging but we did manage to get enough for one fish fry and my grandson caught a nice bass, one northern and one very nice bluegill. The microwave was not working when we arrived but Dave was extremely helpful in trying to get us a new one right away. He did everything in his power to get one to us. As it ended up we did not get it during our stay because Amazon messed up and sent it to the wrong address. This was a very minor inconvenience and could not be prevented. It was only 5 years old but "they don't make 'em like they used to!" I would highly recommend this as a nice, peaceful getaway. If your focus is on fishing, you could always stay here and make day trips to many other area lakes for fishing. It was also mid summer which is typically not the best time for fishing. If we had any questions for the owner, I don't think we waited more than a few minutes for a reply.

Customer-service oriented.
The best amenity was the owner’s customer service. Lightning caused a breaker to blow. It supported the Internet, washing machine and alarm system. The owner called us right back and walked my husband through fixing it. He also supplied us with list of cabin supplies, tips of where to shop in town and general rules, which helped throughout the week. There were plenty of kitchen supplies to cook a variety of meals for 8 people everyday, which was great. Plenty of puzzles and games for the kids. The boys enjoyed kayaking around the cove. The fishermen caught 4 pike and a catfish. We fogged twice and the bugs weren’t bad at all. The pontoon boat was easy to use. The kids enjoyed the sandbox. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Thanks for the great time.
