House holiday rentals in Forest Lake

Great cozy cottage with resort amenities. We used the canoe and kayak and brought out own kayaks at the private lakes. Lots of quiet roads to bike and little destinations to get to - pool, beach, restaurant, golf course. We swam everyday in the lake or at the pool. Great location to explore- so many great little towns from St. Croix Falls to Danbury to Balsalm Lake to Spooner with a lot of food choices. We even caught a ton of panfish ( but threw most back) and had a fresh- caught meal.

I hosted one of my best friends bachelorette at GPH and we are so glad we did!! The weather was a little gloomy and cold but we had no idea because there was so much to do in the house. The pool was so large and warm, we definitely spent most our time in there. The karaoke and dress up were fun as well. Overall a great experience and loved the atmosphere!! Amazing vibes!

This is our 2nd time at Harmala’s place. Comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Harmala responded quickly when one of the remote controls to the tv needed batteries. The pool was perfect as usual. There was a van and blue car that came by daily to work in the field and tend to the chickens but they did not interfere with our stay at all. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to our next trip here.

Great place. Eric had wonderful recommendations for walkable restaurants and other things to do in the area. The yard and garage area were a hit. Very friendly host.

My wife and I loved staying at this beautiful house!! The house was extremely nice, the pool was incredible, and patio was very relaxing. The house was also perfectly clean and had a great ambience and decor. We thought the hosts were great and they did an amazing job making sure we enjoyed every aspect of our trip. We would highly recommend staying there!!

It was cold one night and my kids wanted to have a swim after dark. Samantha's husband came over and turned the heat up on the pool to make sure we could have a swim and create some great memories. Samantha was extremely responsive and flexible with check-in time. Everything was clean and beautiful. They also had nice sound bars and subwoofers on both televisions to make movies on the big TVs that much better. My kids raved about how nice the house was and how much fun they were having. Thanks, Samantha!

We used the Pool House for a leadership retreat. The accommodations were outstanding. The pool saw some use as one of the days was rainy and cool. The outdoor space was great for yard games and we made use of the tennis court. The house was spacious, clean, and items were easy to find. I would definitely recommend it for family vacations or a retreat.

The house was exactly like the pictures. The host was responsive and helpful from start to finish. My group really enjoyed the pool and the hot tub! It was a perfect place for a getaway!! Would definitely recommend!

Cory was very helpful and provided detailed check-in instruction, in addition to a full guide on the surrounding area, which is beautiful. The house is within walking distance from plenty of shops and local restaurants, and within a short driving distance of more options. The house is very comfortable, clean, and fit our needs perfectly - highly recommended!

This was a fantastic place to stay. It is right on the river and is in a very quiet neighborhood. There is a wonderful dock with the place and there is a marina with boat ramp and rentals about 500 feet away. We fished off of the dock all week and caught Drum, Walleye, and Perch. Hudson WI is 5 minutes away and Stillwater MN is about 15 minutes away. Both towns are full of good restaurants and shops.

Mary was a wonderful host and her home was perfect, exactly as described. We would definitely stay here again!

Jason’s home was perfect for my family of 7 to stay. The house has a lot of different rooms and spaces yet still feels open. I really appreciated the fenced in yard for my dog, the huge kitchen that was great for cooking, and the comfortable beds. I especially liked the view outside from the living room — it felt very private and secluded. Check out was a breeze, and the movie room was an added bonus! Jason was really responsive, and I would definitely recommend his home as a great place to stay.

Just beautiful and cozy. Felt right at home and comfortable in this gorgeous house. Was bigger than expected. Kitchen was fully stocked and easy to make a meal. Beds were really comfortable. My kids loved the bunk and arcade games. Would love to come backs in the summer.

great place felt right at home. great communication. beds and couch was very comfortable. loved the hot tub, swing and patio furniture. would stay again.

Grey Duck Lodge is beautiful and peaceful—the home is spotless and comfortable. There are so many nice touches—a blu tooth speakers for music, cozy blankets to wrap up in if the weather turns chilly, all the kitchen utensils and dishes you need to cook for a large group—a big table for meals and board games, which my adult kids and grandkids love. I loved the lakefront—lovely trees everywhere and easy to rent a pontoon for cruising Deer Lake. The area is full of things to do—hiking, quaint small towns, restaurants, wineries, and new pubs—on top of the water activities. I was there for week and need to go back because I could not do it all. The deck is an unforgettable place for fun conversations and quiet reading. And the home office let us do whatever we had to attend to even when we just wanted to play. Many thanks for the great hospitality. I will definitely return.

We were in town for a wedding nearby and needed a place that could accommodate my family—young and old. Everyone had their own space. The kids loved the basement and the games, it kept them occupied. We had a lot of space in the kitchen to make food. After a long day with wedding activities we could relax in the massage chair. Mai was responsive and prompt when we had questions. Can’t recommend it enough.

Just what we needed for the eve of my brothers River Burial. We were able to gather, talk, cook dinner and spend time before the emotional day ahead. Even with the rain we were able to enjoy the view and outdoors through the great windows. Thank you!

April's house was very spacious and comfortable. It was accommodating for our family size of 16. Lots of games and activities were available for the kids. The kids enjoyed themselves. The Christmas tree was a plus for us to place our gifts under. Response time to emails was almost immediate which allowed things to go even more smoothly. I would definitely book this house again and it is highly recommended for large groups!

Absolutely magical stay! The lake house was the perfect setting for making unforgettable family memories. We spent our days kayaking on the peaceful water, our evenings around the fire pit roasting s’mores, and our nights playing board games with the grandparents. Watching squirrels play in the trees each morning was a delight for everyone. Cozy, clean, and full of charm—this place felt like home from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to come back!

Booked a stay with some friends for a long weekend at the lake and Heidi’s place was absolutely perfect! She was always responsive, and well prepared with everything we needed from towels to basic kitchen utensils and everything in between. The hot tub was a huge perk and we also had fun taking the kayaks out on the lake. Definitely would recommend booking with Heidi for anyone looking for a relaxing escape near the twin cities!

Enjoyed the stay and Jeff was very helpful troubleshooting a minor issue. Upstairs gets a bit warm but downstairs is pleasantly cool. Highly recommend.

The property was a little gem secluded in a forested area. Windows looked out onto a beautiful pond. It was so peaceful to watch visiting wildlife. The space was a basement level of a home and was huge. There were 2 bedrooms and 3 baths. It would be perfect for a family.

We had the most magical stay at this home! The house itself was absolutely stunning—beautifully decorated, cozy, and everything we could have hoped for to make our holiday perfect. The hosts went above and beyond to make it feel like Christmas. They even left personalized stockings for our kids filled with thoughtful little gifts, which absolutely delighted them! It was such a heartwarming and unexpected touch that made our stay truly special. Thank you for helping us create unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to come back!

So much better than a hotel - my family put together a puzzle, had a fire by the lake, played games with laughter and privacy, Grampa took a nap on the screen porch, money saved by cooking and had fun doing it in a kitchen ready for anything! Everything we needed was there and more- plus labels made even light switches clear at first glance! The best comment was - "I could stay here a week!" - and the photos will be memory keepers of birds in the trees and deer across the lake and mostly my family caring for one another.
