Joelle G. Sep 17, 2024 09:48:20 AM

Summary: This place was great for a family gathering of up to 12 people. Nice kitchen space for everyone to get around in and nice to have 2 full size refrigerators. Everything is so well labeled to find what you need. The bedding was extremely comfortable. Love my bed at home, but this was a 10 for 10 for sleeping. Great bonfire area and nice space to enjoy yard games. Hang out by nice deck and enjoy the great view to lake down the hill to the dock. Small quiet little lake to canoe or kayak on. Fun bonus was the apple trees which we got to enjoy in the September season. Very well equipped if you have little ones as well.

Jeffrey H. Aug 12, 2024 07:57:10 AM

Summary: EVERYthing was as advertised, and more. Incredibly clean, all drawers/closets, etc. labeled. Unexpected amenities like ziplocs, Tupperware, body lotion (Lubriderm) in bathrooms, plethora of kid toys and games. (Our daughter said she didn’t need to bring anything for her two-year old.) Communication with host was immediate and friendly. Definitely recommend this property!

Sarah J. Jul 1, 2024 01:53:42 AM

Summary: Absolutely beautiful home. Everyone loved the pool table, kayaking, the fire pit area and quiet location. Very kid friendly with all the toys and games, high chairs and booster seats, pack and plays, dishes for the kids, baby gate, outdoor toys, etc. The kitchen was the most well-stocked kitchen we’ve stayed in. Bathroom thought of as well- Shampoo, conditioner, toiletries, etc. It seems as though nothing was forgotten here. We loved having the lifejackets, beach floats, kayaks, bonfire necessities, etc. Can’t say enough about all the attention to every little detail. Our host was amazing! Great communication before and during to make sure we had everything we needed. You won’t regret staying at this beautiful property!

Summary: The property was ideal for mom. She was able to enjoy everything on one level. There were many trips to the dock and lots of casual fun stories and memories of the past shared. Talks of doing it again next year.

sheilah s. Sep 24, 2023 08:42:10 PM

Summary: We rented the VRBO for a place for our family to stay for our sons out of town wedding. The home was beautiful, very comfortable and well stocked with absolutely everything you could ask for. Couldn’t ask for any better accommodations, owner is extremely nice and pleasant to deal with. Definitely a 5 star rating.

Ron K. Sep 20, 2023 10:12:02 AM

Summary: Our host Lisa was great! The property was well kept, nice large bedrooms and king size beds were super. Plenty of amenities and things to do. Close to Brainerd for additional supplies and things to do as well. We were a group of 9 adults that really enjoyed the house and property.

nathan s. Aug 29, 2023 09:26:31 PM

Summary: I was disappointed that the landowner watches the ring camera to see what is happening on the deck and outside.

Mark L. Aug 6, 2023 04:04:56 AM

Summary: Shady Crest is a great place for a getaway. Very nice home with great accommodations. There is ample space to relax. Lisa is a great host with timely communication. The view of the lake from the house is pleasant. It is quite a walk down the steps to the lake - be ready for 87 steps back up! Good workout. Very clean and comfortable. Thank you.

Lisa R. Jul 9, 2023 01:03:46 AM

Summary: An amazing property! The house is very comfortable and clean with great view of the lake! We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, fishing, campfire and just hanging out. The organization of the house itself was phenomenal with cupboards labeled, toys and games for children, high chair and pack and play (we needed two and the house had two). Loved it and highly recommend.

Royann B. Jun 30, 2023 11:02:20 PM

Summary: This is a beautiful VRBO! Clean and spacious with a lovely view of the lake. Lots of choices for bedrooms including bunk beds which was very helpful for our family. We appreciated the multiple bathrooms. Kitchen/dining was ideal with everything you need and helpful labels on cabinets and light switches. Outdoor bonfire area was perfect. So great to have life jacket and flotation devices available for all ages and sizes. Access to the lake involves a multi level well maintained stairway so ability to do stairs is important. Lake was quiet and our younger kiddos loved swimming off the dock. Adults used the kayaks and canoes. Deck off the kitchen was helpful and allowed a nice outdoor seating option. Furniture and linens were high quality. A wonderful choice of toys and games for all ages. Our little ones loved the Lego room. It’s was a plus to have the billiard table and several TV’s available. The only issue that came up was when we noticed wasps under the stairway down to the lake. We contacted the owner and they responded right away and had pest control there the next day to eliminate the problem.
