Wedding weekend in Minnesota
House on the lake was as advertised, a good alternative to a hotel stay for a wedding weekend that was happening nearby. We enjoyed the deck views, kayaking the lake and being able to cook meals while visiting.

Getaway Weekend
The house was beautiful, and the location was great! We had rented a boat during out stay, but found out when we got there the dock was not in. Alan was very responsive, and had someone out to set it up quickly, however we did end up in the water to help as it is not a one-person job. The internet wasn't working, and cell service wasn't great - but it helped us stay off our phones. Overall a great weekend, we would stay here again!

Great place to get away
We just finished our stay at this property and everyone had a blast. The cabin was every bit as nice as the pictures indicated and the morning sunrises couldn’t be beat. The kids had so much fun playing on the lily pad and swimming and when they needed some downtime, the big tv and Nintendo provided a great activity while we got to enjoy the beautiful evening on the deck. Would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a getaway close to the cities.

Lovely home!
This experience was lovely from the beginning to the end. The home is beautifully decorated and well laid out. It had everything we needed, and then some! The views were beautiful, and a great place for us to visit with some family living in the area. We are particularly picky because we also own rental property and this one hit the ball out of the park! We highly recommend!

Family getaway
My family had a great week at this lovely cabin. There was a lot to offer for everybody. I will say it is best set up for children older than toddlers, we had to do a bit of chasing and a lot of supervising with all the stairs and different elevations outside. We all loved the beautiful fire pit that sits right next to the lake.

Beautiful lake home - perfect for a girls weekend
The lake home is beautiful, location perfect and it had everything we needed for our girls weekend. The large table fit our group of 8 perfectly. Kitchen area was spacious and the layout made cooking, prep and visiting at the same time super fun! The bedrooms were very comfortable, linens nice and the towels thick and soft. We enjoyed the fire pit very much, plenty of chairs for everyone too. The owners were VERY responsive! Our group loved everything about this lake home.

Lake Living with the Comfort of Home
This is the second time our family has stayed. We love a lake vacation but really enjoy our “creature comforts” (dishwasher, washer/dryer, quality bedding, super clean home, etc.). The Edgewater Bungalow has all of that along with so many toys (Lily Pad, Kayaks, Paddle Boards, lawn games, puzzles, board games, Nintendo Switch, and more)…. Our kids ranging from teen to toddler loved all their time here. We were able to rent a pontoon and the person we rented from loved that the dock is plastic so we didn’t have to worry about dinging the boat. We plan to come back again next summer to make more memories.

Great family get away for all ages.
Family gathering of children and grandchildren ages 6 to 70. The check-in process was very easy and communication with owner had very prompt responses. Property was also very clean at check-in. Everyone loved the lake, large table for playing games, fire pit for s’mores and game counsel in bunk room. Kitchen was very well equipped and large enough for multiple cooks and helpers when preparing meals. Fridge in lower level was convenient to access beverages from patio and fire pit area. We hope to come back and enjoy this beautiful property again. Thank you.

Very lovely NYE weekend!
The Edgewater Bungalow was perfect for our NYE getaway with friends: 6 adults and 3 kids (ages 4, 7, 10). We all adored the lake home, plenty of space for all of us but cozy and homey too. It had everything we needed and then some: a big pot for my husband to make his chili, measuring cups, a waffle maker (though we used ours since I brought ours not thinking they'd have one). The master bed was insanely comfortable. It was quite cold out but the kids did trek out to play in the snow & then spent parts of our evenings watching movies downstairs. Adults played cards/boardgames & had drinks upstairs to ring in the new year. Justyna and Alan were quick to respond to all my questions. Would definitely recommend and return here again!

A Lovely Lake House with a Beautiful View!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Pine City on Cross Lake at the Edgewater Bungalow! The home is well designed with an open kitchen, and dining room. The kitchen has a nice island for preparing food and the dining area contains a large wooden table perfect for family games. The kitchen is well stocked. The only thing we could have used more of were more dish towels and dish soap. Really appreciated all the plastic containers in which to store leftovers and the set of colorful serving bowels. The master bedroom, which is located upstairs, is wonderful! The bathroom has two sinks and the shower is spacious. The mattress is very comfortable, but our favorite part was the trapezoid window which allowed us to look at the moon or watch the clouds drift by. We often ate on the deck which offers incredible views of a portion of the lake. Although the home is lovely, we spent most of our time outside, floating near the dock with our cocktail of the day, kayaking, and playing beanbags down by the water. Our adult kids really appreciated the short trip from the cities, the good Wi-Fi, and the Nintendo Switch. We all appreciated the warm water and the weedless area off the end of the dock. Had plenty of beach towels but could have used more bath towels. One day we rented a pontoon from Pine-toon rental and enjoyed a full day of boating. My husband tried some fishing but wasn’t very successful. Maybe he’ll have more luck when we return next year!

Lovely weekend stay!
My friends and I stayed here for the weekend to attend a friend's wedding and we couldn't have been more thrilled with this house! We didn't have a ton of down time to hang out in the house but there were so many games available and streaming services we had access to which we would have taken advantage of had we had the time. My only (very very small) comment is that there were a few windows/doors/parts of the ceiling that could have been cleaned up more (dust, flies, etc.) but it was so minimal with how lovely and well kept the house is. We also wanted to suggest that the little office that's in the master bedroom would be perfect to make into a vanity since the bathroom sinks are on top of the counter and there's not a ton of counter space to work with. Besides these tiny notes, this place is SO BEAUTIFUL and so well maintained. We highly recommend this VRBO to anyone who wants a beautiful, easy, and relaxing place to stay :)
