The Retreat on Lake McCarrons

Peaceful & Enjoyable Property

We stayed here for a few days in August and had a wonderful time. It's a very spacious house with a large living room with picture windows that overlook a beautiful wooded backyard and lake. The large kitchen has a dishwasher, and is set up with everything that you would need including a Bunn coffeemaker and a French press. There's a large kitchen table as well. Off of the kitchen is a generously sized deck with cushioned furniture and a beautiful view. The 3 bedrooms are very nice with comfortable beds. One of the rooms has a bed that's quite firm. The backyard is sloped and has a stone path going down to the lake. There's a dock, some chairs, paddle boards and kayaks. We really enjoyed the paddle boards. The lake is fairly quiet without a lot of motors which made it quite peaceful. We would definitely book again.

Cozy and cute rental

My daughter and I spent the weekend here and had a great time! Having access to the lake from the backyard is incredible. The porch and views of the lake are lovely. Bed linen and towels were super comfy. The host is very friendly and accommodating.

Immaculate!

Everything about this place is well thought out -- made our experience seamless & very comfortable. From furnishings to kitchen, bathroom & entertainment amenities, to soothing colors & quality finishes. Location is great. On a wooded lake with generous deck for relaxing and for easy water access. In the midst of the St Paul Minneapolis metro area! With family & friends in the area, we were able to host some gatherings too! We'd definitely stay again!

A terrific, 2 month stop on our nomad journey

Pros: Excellent location with lake access on the property including stand up paddle boards and kayaks. Easy access to St. Paul and Minneapolis. High end linens and cookware. Comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture. High pressure, very hot water. Dimmer control on most of the light switches. Very responsive and friendly landlord. Cons: Almost none. The single bath/shower was fine for two people but something to consider for larger groups despite the 3 bedrooms. We'd definitely stay here again. Now in our 3rd year of nomad-ness, this has been the best so far.
