We had a relaxing, fun and mostly stress free stay with 3 adults and 2 teenagers. The kitchen had everything we needed and beds were comfy and cozy. The patio was wonderful to have a cup of coffee or relax after troll hunting. We also loved that this place was dog friendly! All the little touches here really made it feel like home away from home. Thanks for a great stay!

The location was perfect, super convenient to everything in town. The host was very friendly and always ready to help. I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Chris and Kensie are outstanding hosts. The details in their home were above and beyond what we were expecting for our quick work weekend in Detroit Lakes. The bath salts were my personal favorite after a long day. We were able to bring our pup and after forgetting to bring his dishes, we found a water and food bowl just for our good boy! Great location! Hope to come back for a more fun getaway next time!

This was a lovely home and perfect for our friends, our small dog, and us. It had a great entryway, beautiful kitchen with a keurig and dishwasher, and a full bathroom on the main floor with washer and dryer. There were two comfortable queen-sized beds, soft linens, and lots of pillows plus a second bathroom upstairs. We were able to walk to Zorbaz, and Lakeview, both of which had outdoor seating and excellent food. Chris was a great communicator, making check-in and check-out easy. We would recommend this house and will stay here again if we find ourselves in Detroit Lakes MN.

The host was great at communicating - he responded right away and also provided a very nice welcome manual with all of the information about the house and town. The house was ideally located - within blocks of the lake, city park, grocery store, and downtown area. The house itself was beautifully renovated and had two large bathrooms (one with a free standing tub!). The kitchen was huge and stocked with everything you could possibly need. There was a closet full of toys for kids of all ages (and adults). This is a super comfortable home that the owners have put a lot of time and love into. I'd highly recommend it to anyone coming to Detroit Lakes, and I'll definitely stay here the next time I come back!

The house was adorable. Walking down to the lake was probably my favorite thing and the parks all over just a few blocks away. We were traveling as a family with my grandchildren.And the height, chair and pack and play came in very handy. Did all of our cooking at the house and everything we needed was there. I will plan on staying at this cute little house again.

We had such an amazing experience here! The house was beautifully done and super clean. It’s a quick walk to the beach and all the beachfront restaurants. The hosts had great communication before and throughout our stay. Every time they communicated, it was timely and relevant, we were never left wondering about anything. The expectations or rules were very clear and in line with what you’d expect for staying in someone’s home. They even had the checkout list and a binder with tons of information easily accessible. The house also had everything you could want or need, especially for families with little ones! It’s obvious that these hosts take pride in their guests experience and their home and it showed in everything they did. I would 100% come back and recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay near the beach in Detroit Lakes!

The hosts really go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We appreciated the “little things,” laundry soap, shampoo, etc; Would definitely stay again and share with friends and family.

Beautiful home, very clean, incredible and secure internet (I easily dialed into my work server located in Minneapolis), easy check in are only a few words to describe this VRBO. I have stayed in other VRBO's with family for vacations, but this was not a vacation for me. I checked in on the 5th of May after I changed my reservation 3 or 4 times and Chris and Kensie were very accommodating. My knee replacement surgery was on the 10th, and I had family members coming and going to check/care for me. Chris was very upfront and said I would have 3 steps to go up and down to get in their house, but that there is a railing. I had no problem getting in and out. On the third or fourth day after surgery, I received a beautiful floral arrangement wishing me a speedy recovery from Chris and Kensie. I was so surprised and that made my day. This was not an easy surgery for me; but the house main floor was wide open, and I could get around very easily with my walker. If you are looking for a place to stay for surgery or vacation; this IS the place. Even though I couldn't enjoy the lake this stay, my family did when it wasn't raining. It's only a few blocks away (easy walking distance). Thank you, Chris and Kensie; I will definitely be back. Andrea

We had a great stay! The house was very clean, very cute, and had everything we needed. Plenty of off street parking, and the location was perfect. Would definitely stay here again!

My parents and I had a wonderful stay during my brother's wedding weekend. The house was perfect for us - exceptionally clean with little comforts that helped us through the busy weekend. Location was great walking distance from the lake and places to eat. 10/10 - would absolutely recommend.

This was a lovely home and perfect for our friends, our small dog, and us. It had a great entryway, beautiful kitchen with a keurig and dishwasher, and a full bathroom on the main floor with washer and dryer. There were two comfortable queen-sized beds, soft linens, and lots of pillows plus a second bathroom upstairs. We were able to walk to Zorbaz, and Lakeview, both of which had outdoor seating and excellent food. Chris was a great communicator, making check-in and check-out easy. We would recommend this house and will stay here again if we find ourselves in Detroit Lakes MN.

The host was great at communicating - he responded right away and also provided a very nice welcome manual with all of the information about the house and town. The house was ideally located - within blocks of the lake, city park, grocery store, and downtown area. The house itself was beautifully renovated and had two large bathrooms (one with a free standing tub!). The kitchen was huge and stocked with everything you could possibly need. There was a closet full of toys for kids of all ages (and adults). This is a super comfortable home that the owners have put a lot of time and love into. I'd highly recommend it to anyone coming to Detroit Lakes, and I'll definitely stay here the next time I come back!

My friend and I stayed at this property over the weekend and surprisingly were able to stay within a 2-block radius the entire time. In one direction you have the lake, beach, and bars/restaurants. In the other direction, you have shops, a cafe, co-op, bookstore, brewery, and restaurants. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. For two women, we felt safe the entire time and had a wonderful stay.

We loved the house! Very comfortable and clean, and had all that we needed. Greet location as it was walking distance to restaurants and the lake.

Everything in the description was to the T! Communication with the host was excellent, checking in upon our arrival and again at departure. Great location to walk to restaurants and downtown shopping!Love the coziness of an older home with all the updated modern amenities. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend to family and friends.

This home is a 4.5 star rating as it was extremely clean, great modern updates to the home and great communication with the owners. The main bedroom was roomy which would easily accommodate a pack & play if needed. The 2nd bedroom was small but easily accommodated a couple. The living room didn’t accommodate easy interaction as it had a couch that was comfortable but had a trundle bed as the 2nd furnishing which was not comfortable and made interacting difficult. The bathrooms were very nice and modern with the shower on the lower level that was excellent. The upstairs bathroom had a large tub that looked inviting. Overall, the home is very clean and well maintained. A table that can accommodate 4 people to eat family style or gather for game activities would be another recommendation. Lastly, owners have a reasonable request to remove shoes before entering the home - a small bench or chair would make that task easier. Highly recommend staying especially if you’re looking for a nice quiet place.
