Another Great Year!
Thanks to Nick and Mandy for another great stay at Big Red. We loved the big yard, bonfires, chess games, and movie nights. Thank you so much for all the nice touches and we can't wait to come back again!

Voyen family vacation
Second year here. Love the space for our family of 13. Great yard for games. Happy that the owners added a highchair and crib, as we had a 9-month old addition this year.

Wonderful family cabin
Our family group (including 4 children under 5) had a very comfortable and fun stay. Great shallow swimming area, beach is perfect for sandcastles, nice large yard to play in. Cabin itself is overall great, very serviceable kitchen, bedrooms are fine. Nice TV and play area in the basement for the kids. If you're looking for a family vacation spot, i highly recommend.

Another perfect trip to Big Red
We are returning guests for 6 summers now because Big Red is the perfect spot. We have a full house with four families and there’s something for everyone! Nick and Mandy do a great job of updating every year. Highlights include swimming in the lake, playing music on the deck, movies on the big couch and cooking meals in the well-appointed kitchen. I couldn’t recommend this rental highly enough!

We love big red!!
The property is amazing! Being right on the water and having your own beach makes such a huge difference for convenience. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook for our big group and the second fridge made it possible so we didn’t have to go to the store halfway through. The dirt road to get to the cabin is a little long but so worth the trip! Don’t question it, just book it!

About the host

Hosted by Nick and Mandy Berg

Host profile image
I was raised near Hibbing, MN and grew up around camping, fishing, swimming and many other outdoor activities with my family.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I love the outdoors. When we were looking for our first home, all we wanted was a lake home. This home showed up on our search site and it checked every box that we were looking for, and then some! After we bought our home, the first night we stayed there, we saw the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen! Since then, we've enjoyed a different sunset every night. This is a very special place to us and we truly hope you enjoy what all Big Red on Comstock has to offer!
