Weekend At the Lake
We had a great experience while at Cedar Escape. The cabin was spacious and very nice. Having the grill, fire pit, and garage spaces were all huge advantages over some other places I’ve stayed. And they movie room was just the cherry on top. Great views of the lake with easy access. The neighbors were friendly and it was very easy to get to from the interstate. Would definitely come back!

Amazing Place
The place is amazing! The kids loved making s’mores in one of the fire places and they loved watching movies in the movie theater curled up in a blanket. One thing that we noticed right when walking in was the smell of cigarette smoke. There were cigarette butts on the outside deck and an ashtray filled with cigarettes outside as well. We eventually got used to the smell.

Game haven at the lake
This was a great place for our family who likes to play lots of games. The bedrooms were arranged well to give us lots of space. Since the lake was rather overgrown, we spent more time inside playing games and made full use of the game room every day. We also loved taking the kayaks out in the early morning to look for wildlife. The kids also appreciated having the beach and playground so close-by.

The perfect peaceful lake house
Susan’s lake house was the perfect, peaceful spot for our family to relax. It has everything that anyone could ask for. Plus the use of the super comfy pontoon was the cherrie on top. We could not have asked for a better week or lake house to stay in. We hope to be back in the near future!

Outstanding Cabin
We celebrated Christmas and our 50th wedding anniversary at Susan's lake home. It was perfect. The layout gave us lots of room with 8 adults and 4 grandchildren. The game room and movie theater room were huge hits! The beds were all very comfortable and the view magical on a winter's night. All in all, the entire family would use one word to describe this property... PERFECT!

It was an an amazing weekend for a wedding celebration with our closest friends after we eloped during the height of the pandemic. The property is more gorgeous than the pictures can show and we were so impressed with the large indoor and outdoor spaces for all 10 of us to enjoy.

40th in Annandale
We celebrated our 40th going to a lake house in Minnesota. Communication with the owner was by far the best I've had. She's very accessible and replies quickly. House has everything you need to have a great time - games (indoor and outdoor), bbq and movie room. Pontoon boat is worth the rental fee. Lake is beautiful. You get the 2nd floor of the house and it's gigantic. The owner is on the premises (1st floor) but you never see them (and they make sure you always have plenty of fire starter) for the pits).

Plenty of space to accommodate our group of 14. Lots of fun activities inside and out. We had terrific weather, but the pool table, ping pong table and in-home theater still got plenty of use. Access to a beautiful pontoon at a reasonable price was also a big plus. Lots of towels, dishes, cookware, and kitchen utensils made us feel right at home. Everyone had a fantastic time!

This was our second consecutive year staying at Cedar Escape, and we were just as impressed this year. The movie theater room is a big hit with the little ones, and we made some awesome memories on the pontoon. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a lake getaway without having to travel hours north of the Twin Cities. Thanks for another great week!
