- "The 2 cabins and bunkhouse served us perfectly for our 2 families." - "Great location and space. The screen porch was great in the evenings. The beach kept the kids entertained. Well stocked kitchen." - "Very cozy 2 cabins. They had everything you need in a nice location! Very good" - "Our family of 12 stayed at Cabin 8 Retreats for a long weekend to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Our hosts were fantastic at providing everything we needed to make it a perfect time for all age groups. There were plenty of fun things to do and we especially loved gathering in the screen porch for meals, games and lounging after a long day of kayaking and swimming. We loved the solo fire pit and used it for making s’mores and telling stories around the fire. By using both cabins and the optional bunkhouse we could spread out and each have our own spaces. There were plenty of dishes, pots, pans, silverware, etc. for a group our size. The swimming beach was the perfect size for the kids and the dock had a nice bench where we could watch the loons in the evening. The neighboring cabins were quiet and people were friendly. I know we will be back!"

- "The cabin and clean and had everything we could hope for with a large group of friends and family. Although the cabin wasn’t right on the lake, it was an easy walk down to the water. The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating." - "We had a great time! Although the house was not lakefront like it was listed, it didn't matter to us because we didn't utilize the beach area. It was just a short walk to get to the lake. There was plenty of space for our family of 12, although we wish there was more sitting area in the living room. We spent most of our time in the kitchen because there was lots of seating there. The pictures online do need to be updates to match the renovations that were done to the house. Its listed at 3 bathrooms, but there are only two so I am not sure where the 3rd one was. Its a great house for a large family! The kitchen was very well stocked for our family and we had plenty of space for all of our stuff!"

- "My husband, our 3 kids and myself stayed over the 4th of July and had a great time! The lake is very nice, the other people around seem very kind and the owners were very nice and helpful with suggestions of events in the area. The spiral staircase was a little scary with our youngest, but other than that the place was perfect for us." - "Loved this place. And want to stay again next year. Better deal than a resort and have privacy of your own dock. Huge yard. Amenities were perfect. And getting a hold of the owner was easy and simple. Owner replied right away."

Updated bathroom with claw tub and shower. Full kitchen for cooking. Everything is very clean. Check in was a bit wonky as I didn't get an email from VRBO but the property owner was quick to respond and grant access. Really, really nice guy. Nice attached deck with picnic table.

- "We enjoyed our stay here. It was around an hour to Itasca state park and about 30 minutes to Walker. We went to Longville on Wednesday for turtle racing and had a blast. We enjoyed hearing loons calling while we watched the sunrise over the lake. The only issue we had was a neighbor by the boat launch yelled at us because our kids were throwing rocks in the lake." - "We had an amazing vacation at Cabin 8 Retreats!! The property was beautiful and so clean! All of the amenities that we would have needed were provided, and the owners were so quick to respond if we needed anything or had any questions.

From the fantastic communication, to the abundance of firewood provided, to the beautiful surroundings and the interior of the cabin. Literally the only suggestion I have would be a better mattress in one of the rooms but the whole place was so great. We loved the games provided, didn't have to bring any lawn chairs or cooking supplies.. we took the whole family on a bike ride on the trail to go to the beach which was an easy and pretty ride for all ages. Would totally come here again"
