Amazing Family Gathering Space
This is a great place to have a family gathering. The heated garage and games were a hit since we had one of the coldest days this winter during our stay. The house is stocked with everything that you could imagine. Communication with the owners was excellent. I would recommend this house to anyone.

A great house and place to stay!
Our adult sons and their wives from Washington State and Wisconsin joined us so we could also visit my Mom, sister and her husband, and brother. The house is spacious, comfortable, with several rooms to gather, as well as a table that can seat 10, and a well appointed kitchen. We loved it, and would certainly stay there again.

Time with Family
We live in Albert Lea and were surprised and thrilled to find your beautiful Happy Days Log Home. We were so excited when family decided to come visit, but knew we just didn’t have room for everyone. We had a “staycation/vacation” at Happy Home, werable to eat, sleep, visit and be together

Great house for family vacation
The house was big enough for our family yet cozy enough to make us feel at home. So many things to do and fishing and kayaking was perfect I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting a family getaway.

Family Vacation
The house and grounds are beautiful. The guys fished and played golf. We shopped! We cooked all our meals in an unbelievably stocked kitchen. We even made rhubarb crisp with the rhubarb from the garden! I fell in love with the town of Albert Lea - we hope to plan another family trip to this house in the future. Thanks so much Emily and Kevin.

Great house
We loved staying at Happy Days. The house was very clean. The master bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. I loved having the garage game room available, esp in case it rained. The kids fished off the dock and got a few nice bass. It was fun having access to the garden. We were able to have some asparagus and rhubarb. It was such a treat. The neighborhood was very quiet and really no traffic by the house. I would highly recommend staying at Happy Days.

Celebration for my Mother
This place was fantastic. We came back to Albert Lea for my Mother’s celebration of life. We were planning on renting hotel rooms until we found this place on VRBO. This place is a dream come true. Everything you need and more than enough room for adults and kids. The garage was the place the grandkids loved the most. So much for them to do out there. They loved the kid’s kitchen and so much plastic food was served to us adults. HA HA.. Overall, I would 100% rent this place again and I would 100% recommend this place.

Family getaway
This house was everything I expected and more. We truly enjoyed the house, the game room, the lake and the convenience of the location. The house was very well stocked minus needing a few more frying pans. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions I had and very accommodating. We all truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again.
