6th annual Dads and Sons Nisswa Lake Trip
We had a fantastic 5 day trip to this property in July - 4 dads and 4 sons - 6th annual trip to Nisswa Lake. This was our first trip to this property and we all loved it! The inside was perfect for our size group and everyone had a place to sleep. Grilling and campfires were great and my 23 foot boat fit perfectly on the dock. Best part was the lakeside lawn - it was huge and great for outdoor games. We are already looking forward to booking another trip next summer!

Great Property and Location
Overall the property is great and accommodates a large group very well. The outdoor space is huge, and there are many games available for use. Plenty of chairs for around the fire pit and the bikes are great. The indoor spaces are large and comfortable. The place is very well stocked with everything you'd need. The issue we had was the inability swim or float. There is a small sand beach area but the area is filled with weeds and lily pads. The pictures of the beach in the listing are very deceptive. If you're not interested in getting in the water, I highly recommend this property.

This place exceeded our expectations!!It is very private and peaceful. Great big yard! We had a family vacation with 6 adults and 3 children under the age of five. We had plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. The house was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. There is plenty of entertainment in the house if you have a rainy day. The firepit was perfect for everyone to sit around and enjoy. The location is close to town and was perfect to dock our pontoon and travel the lake chains. The owner Randy was quick to response to any of my questions. Thanks for a great vacation! We will definitely be back!

Another wonderful year at the lake!
This is our third stay at this Lake Nisswa home. We love the location being close to town and yet on the chain of lakes so we can adventure thru the channels and watch the wildlife, or we can give the kids a great time tubing and skiing on the lake. Each night ends with a campfire. Given the wooded lot, one has the privacy of camping in the woods. It is a great place to get away!

Perfect family getaway
Great location, plenty of room, well stocked for indoors and out of doors. Larger than large (XL) recreation area. We enjoyed the fire pit at night with seating for 10 plus. Perfect lake chain and docking for our pontoon. Owner was quick to respond to all questions, and provided valuable information. We Highly recommend this home. You will totally enjoy the experience, but don’t try to reserve the week we were there because we already reserved it for next year.

Nisswa stay
Property was clean, the house was very nice. Just a little disappointed in the beach and lake. It had said 12 feet of clarity in the lake and I would say it was about 2 feet. So we didn’t swim and for the kids that was a big piece

Another AMAZING year!
We really enjoy staying at this Lake Nisswa getaway! Each one of us has a favorite event or activity. The 8 and 5 year old grandkids like playing on the beach and tubing on the lake. Our granddaughter learned to water ski this year, which was exciting for all of us! Each night we end the day with a campfire with singing and music around the fire. It sounds corny, but it really is fun and special. I love our early morning excursions thru the channels looking for photo opportunities of wildlife! Then there is always just relaxing with a good book down by the beach! Randy and Cathy have all the little touches available as well: flipflops to sunglasses as well as kayaks, firewood, and bikes! Thank you for a wonderful time again this year!! Lori and Family

Everything we had hoped for an more!
I don’t often use the phrase “exceeds expectations” but this one certainly deserves it. The house and property are simply amazing. The photos in the listing are accurate but don’t compare to actually being there. For being a lake property, the house has all of the modern amenities and then some. Everything is updated beyond what we would expect for this type of property. Craftsmanship and pride are demonstrated throughout. Outside, is an expansive lot and beautiful setting overlooking Nisswa Lake. The use of the dock was perfect for the small fishing boat we rented for the week. We were able to land some sizable bass as well as the elusive Northern Pike we have been after for years. The channel to other lakes on the Gull chain is very handy. We made regular use of the available kayaks. While we had our own bikes with us, the bikes available with the property were in excellent condition. There is no lack of entertainment available inside as well. From multiple TVs to board games, to the pool table, we had everything we needed for the one rainy day we had during the week. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and had everything we were looking for (including 3 crock pots…with liners!) In addition to our family of four, we had another couple with us. The house was setup perfectly for our situation with common areas and privacy as needed. The ample air conditioning was an added bonus. There were a couple other surprises that I won’t mention. You’ll just have to go and see for yourself. We are very familiar with the Nisswa area and have visited for many years. This property was beyond what we have experienced in the past and is highly recommended. I also can’t say enough about Randy’s communication. I had messaged him several times with questions in the months leading up to our stay. He is very responsive. I’m always a bit nervous about receiving the check-in instructions. Randy’s instructions came in ample time and were super easy to follow. There was also a book of information provided about the property and area. There were also very clear instructions posted in key areas throughout. It is no surprise that he has Premier Host status. Thanks for a great vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake! Randy and Cathy have a very nice, clean home, and they have provided all of the touches that we may have wanted or needed at the lake. Because of the location, we saw eagles, ospreys, deer, ducks, many geese and even a raccoon . There is a sandy beach for the little kids to play on. For swimming, we dove off of our boat out on the lake. We enjoyed several camp fires, too. We had a great time!
