Houten huisjes in Lake Independence

The Indian Lake Chalet is sublime!! The perfect place for a relaxing or active family trip—we did lots of both! The house is super clean and perfectly appointed. It was comfortable and spacious for our multigenerational group of 11. We’d very happily stay here again!

It was the perfect place just outside the cities for a short stay! Home is in great location and weather sitting in hot tub or by the fire at night, picturesque views! Would definitely recommend staying here! James and Angela Sandvig

Had an “emergency” booking at the last minute and asked if it was possible to get access early. The hosts responded so quickly and were so accommodating to our request. The place was great with a nice “hangout” area and huge bedrooms. It’s a beautiful view and the hot tub is nice and warm and close to the house. Easy to find and nice and close to the cities but far enough to feel like a vacation!

We had an excellent stay! The home was even better than described and so peaceful. We are already talking about when we can return!

my boyfriend and i booked this cabin as a couple’s getaway to celebrate his birthday and it was perfect! the cabin itself was so cozy, but still very modern and sleek! however, the highlight of this property has to be the beautiful lake views and the hot tub! we spent a lot of time on the outdoor couch just relaxing and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere :) a couple things worth noting are the griddle was pretty dirty and covered in old solidified grease which was a bit disappointing since we had already bought food to cook on there and didn’t get to do that as planned, but this wasn’t a hugeee deal to us tho and wasn’t worth lowering the rating over. additionally, response time could be a little faster but i understand that it’s the weekend and people are busy! katie was very friendly otherwise and i’d definitely recommend her cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Very much enjoyed our stay at The Malbec! It's close enough to town to go do things during the day, and far enough out to feel like you're relaxing in the country. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable!

Me and my family made priceless memories so needless to say to say we had a great time…. We will do it again. Thank you Kevin

We enjoyed our stay at the Loondocks, and yes - you’re bound to see some loons! We love being on the lake & with a dock to catch some good views & good fish. The bedroom on the main floor has the MOST comfortable bed. We felt well rested & relaxed at this stay.

We needed a place to stay for a few weeks while we closed down a business. This was a great location and place to unwind after long, hard work days. We needed to extend the stay a couple of times as it was taking longer than we expected to finish up at our business. Mitch was great to work with. We enjoyed ice fishing and ice skating on the lake and celebrated Christmas while we were there. They even had the house decorated with a Christmas tree when we arrived. Mitch said the cabin was newly remodeled and we agreed that it very nice. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for either a weekend or a multi-week stay.

Austin and Elizabeth were great hosts. So responsive and helpful. The cabin was so peaceful and cozy. I had a wonderful stay.

The Cheerful little cabin was perfect for a girl's getaway with college friends. The views of the lake was the perfect backdrop when sitting in the living room or out on the patio. The kitchen was stocked with essentials that allowed us to cook some delicious meals. Thanks for a great stay!

Spacious home large enough for the whole extended family with all the amenities of home. The house was situated on a sizable lot adjacent to Mink Lake, which was beautiful and also so nice to view right from the dock.

Bright, clean and amazing views!! We had some fantastic family time, and it was the perfect getaway!! Emily was great...extremely accommodating and an outstanding host. Thank you very much for your hospitality and sharing your place!

Beautiful little cottage, perfect for our family of three! Great fishing and less than an hour from the Twin Cities. The cabin was clean and the host was very responsive. Highly recommend!

It was really nice and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely rebook next time we’re in town.

Beautiful setting, peaceful, comfortable place - only a little tough to find food if you arrive later when restaurant options might be closed (especially if vegetarian) because it is a rural area. Friendly, responsive hosts.

The cabin is a great spot for whatever your trip needs may be. The hosts were extremely responsive, helpful, and genuinely cared that we had a great time. The lake is great and the experience is relaxing. We would definitely stay here again in future, 10/10!

We loved this cottage and being close to the peaceful lake. It was so well made and great design. Every space was comfortable and well thought out. Comfy beds. Beautiful views of the lake out all the windows and lovely sunsets. We grabbed meats from the butcher in town and grilled and also ate in town one evening. This one's a winner!

Really amazing stay at a rustic and sweet spot on a lake. Sun room is out of this world, it’s on an amazing lot on the lake, and between sauna, paddle boards, fire pit, and just taking it all in we had an amazing time. 10/10, Great Lake get away, hosts are doing great.

worth every penny I would love to go back and stay there in the summer

We loved staying at Chris’s place. We came in to town to see family and enjoy the snow. Sadly the weather didn’t cooperate and we only saw a small amount of snow the evening we arrived. But what can ya do?! Chris was incredibly responsive and attentive, even checking in with us the next morning as we had let him know we’d be arriving late on our check in day. The house was adorable and comfortable, we look forward to renting in the future when we come up to see family.

Our stay at Hygge Valley Hideaway was a picture perfect weekend. Kammi was a wonderful host who clearly loves this property. The cabin-feel was so cozy, the sunset views were spectacular, and everything was clean and clearly marked. We loved our visit!

Our family of 4 loved staying a long weekend at this cabin - Michael, with team cabin, is a very gracious and thoughtful host! We mostly enjoyed the beautiful views of the lake and the natural surroundings from the large bay window and the deck. The kayaks were a big bonus, we all took turns exploring the lake. Watching the turtles, great blue herons, king fishers, ospreys and other birds by the water was awesome, and we spotted a black squirrel too! We went swimming a couple of times even if the lake can be a bit weedy. Cooking and grilling was easy with the help of the nicely stocked kitchen. Our last evening we got to witness a mesmerizing storm over the lake from the indoor coziness - so cool!
