Summary: A group of 8 women stayed at this lovely home for our annual get together. We LOVED the open kitchen, huge dining area and cozy living room. The deck was also really nice and looked over the lake. Oh - and the kitchen had ample utensils and serving dishes. The house is in a neighborhood that is quiet and convenient to town. The owner was super helpful and accommodating and we highly recommend this property!

Summary: This was our 2nd year at this house and 3rd staying in one of Carolyn's (and team) houses on a beautiful Minnesota lake. The house is updated and comfy for 6 adult women who each need our own bedroom and just a little fussy about the beds! And a big kitchen for cooking. The outdoor space is amazing, we lived on the covered terrace with the amazing lake view. We highly recommend this house!
