“We enjoyed our stay here. We have a large family and it was laid out very well with beautiful views of the lake . We enjoyed the fire pit and eating on the deck. The kids loved the bag toss and toys! We made lots of good memories!”

“We enjoyed a long weekend on Leech Lake in this beautiful lake home. There were 14 adults and one baby and we had more than enough room. It was very clean and very well stocked. We enjoyed using the kayaks and utilized the boat lift. We enjoyed floating around down by the dock while others were out fishing. As they mentioned in their description, it is a bit of a steep hill to get down to the dock and you get your exercise getting back up. There is not a flat area in the back to play yard games, but there is room out front on the garage pad. The garage and the basement are also plenty big for games. I would highly recommend this home for your vacation!”

“We stayed at this lodge last winter and the lodge had everything a group of 12 men needed to relax and enjoy some ice fishing. The heated garage was great and allowed our equipment to sit in there. The room downstairs had enough room for us to sit around and play card/board games. We already made reservations for 2024 and am excited to be back there in a few weeks!

-Update 01/24/2024
Just returned from the lodge and all 12 of us had an amazing stay. Everything was ready for us to settle in when we checked in. The fishing was excellent this year. No reason to not book again next year for our annual Leech Lake ice fishing trip. Rick is a great host that was willing to accomodate us.

-Update 01/22/2025
Another year, another amazing stay as always! 13 guys this year and still had plenty of room for everyone to relax. Thanks as always Rick!”

Thank You!”
