Amazing spot on Beautiful Eagle Lake
This property was amazing and perfect. It was very clean when we arrived, very organized. Dealing with Craig was very simple and he always returned messages in a timely manner and was very helpful with any questions we had. The house was large and very well taken care of. The dock was very nice as well. Only issue, which wasn’t much of an issue at all, was we rented a pontoon and there wasn’t much room to tie it up but we figured it out quite quickly. Also we used their boat ramp for my boat and that worked perfectly. It is located very close to the only boat launch on the lake. It had been about 15 years since my family has been to Eagle Lake after spending time on the lake every summer growing up and it is still as beautiful and the fishing is still as amazing as it always has been. Huge thank you to Craig and his family for giving us the opportunity to enjoy Eagle Lake again and we look forward to staying here again very soon!!

Well maintained cabin
Secluded two story cabin/home with all the amenities. Porches and decks all give great views of the lake. The kitchen and livingroom are well appointed and homey. Two big bath rooms with showers and tub/shower. Beds are comfortable. All appliances are quality and newer. The lake is the clearest in MN! The host is very helpful and responsive. Independant fishing guides give great experience. No beach or play area for youngsters. Boat docking space is good quality but limited. We rented a pontoon and were challenged tieing it up .This was our second year and have reserved next year. The family loves it.

Relaxing Getaway
This is a lovely peaceful home on the south side of Eagle Lake, with great summer views of sunrises and sunsets and the beautiful shades of blue in the water. The Keurig coffee maker makes a full pot or just a cup to enjoy mornings on the deck, while listening to the beautiful calls of the loons and watching fish randomly jumping up from the water’s surface. These were just a few things we loved about this home. We hope to visit again!
