Nice home but lake is lacking
My kids and I enjoyed our stay. We were happy with everything except the lake, it was full of lily pads and weeds all around the dock The area where the provided kayaks can enter the lake was also full of lily pads and weeds. We expected that the kids would be able to jump off the dock and swim, but this was not the case. Based on the amount they charge per night, we expected the lake to be nicer than it was!

Family Christmas weekend
The property was easy to find and looked just as the photos had advertised. The downstairs beds were not very comfortable but we made it work by having some people sleep on couches. Would have been nice to have extra pillows and blankets available for the beds. It was clean and the host was very responsive! Beautiful views too!

Family wedding in Nisswa
Our family needed a place to stay for a family wedding happening in Nisswa. It was only 4 miles away so it was convenient to the Catalyst event space. My grandkids loved the VRBO..especially the ping pong table! Plenty of space for the entire family of 10. Would stay again!

Great place to stay
We had a great time as a family. The place was clean, beds comfortable, as well as the seating areas in the living room and downstairs. We enjoyed a fire one night roasting hot dogs and smores. Thanks so much for the firewood. Thank you for a nice stay.

Enjoyable time at the lake
We enjoyed the property and amenities such as the dock and kayaks. House is very well kept. We caught fish and watched a family of loons. Traffic across the bay is slightly noisy but you get used to it. Had an excellent time. We would stay again.

Family Vacay
Location is perfect for getting around Nisswa and Brainerd activities. The home was perfect for a large family and very clean. However, the basement was freezing and we were not able to adjust the temperature. Also, we were very disappointed in the actual lake and lakeshore, full of rocks and weeds, not appropriate for swimming.

Wonderful Family/Friendly House
The house is very nice and clean. We enjoyed the backyard fishing and fire pit. The house is nicely located in the middle of some nice cities. The air didn't work when we got there, so it was very warm, but Emily had someone out there right away to get it taken care of.

Girl's Trip
The property was exactly as advertised, clean, and well maintained. We stayed in the winter so we couldn't enjoy the outside area as much as if it would of been in the warmer months. Great location with a short drive to downtown Nisswa. A couple of suggestions would be to update bath towels and kitchen towels as all were really worn along with providing hotel sized shampoo/conditioner and shower gel/soap. We would definitely stay again at Pinecone Cottage!

Great location
The home was very cozy. Great location. A good get away for a family. The only suggestion I would have is a humidifier on the lower level. There was a musty smell. Also It seemed the towels sat in the washer for a long time before drying and had an order. I would recommend this property.
