Bayberry Acres on Danger Lake

Great spot right on the lake. Owner furnishes a canoe and a small pontoon that he let us use. Very nice guy and awesome place to just relax!

Seclusion close to the twin cities

Great secluded space! lots of trees on the campsite, ground can be a little uneven just take note. The lake is beautiful, lots of wildlife. Watch your step around the dock, its a little shaky. Could use a bit of landscaping around the picnic tables but Gary came to meet us and talk about the area. Bonus for Goats on the property. Its close to the dirt road when you come off so easy in easy out.

Best R&R of the Year!

Gary and Katherine are so amazing. They are so accommodating and Katherine even got us some wild grapes and apples from their land! They were so awesome. I didn’t get time to go see the chickens or goats but I will be back. The area we chose was nestled in the trees and had direct access to the fire pit and the lake. The lake is amazing and the wildlife is breathtaking. I had a great time and like I said, I WILL be back!

Camping with a stunning view!

Tent · With kids ·

Our family camped here for 2 nights and it was such a blast. Absolutely beautiful sunsets each night! We jumped off the dock and swam in the crisp, clean lake in the cool misty morning and in the afternoon summer heat. Cooking and eating meals on the floating pontoon picnic table was a fun and unique experience. The trumpeter swans were a fun surprise. Gary was a great host and a great communicator. Made core family memories here!

Me and my daughter stayed here on a mother and daughter trip and it was amazing. They made us feel very comfortable and showed us the goats and the chickens and the beautiful lake. There’s plenty to do in the cabin as well and it’s very cozy. We will definitely be coming back!

This was a great place to stay! Many amenities, even if some were a bit rustic. Comfortable accommodation and larger than the pictures make it seem would definitely recommend!

Easy to find location, towns within 10 minute drive for anything you may need. The site was nestled in the trees, direct view and access of/to the lake, firepit, and free to use canoe, kayak, body board, and pontoon. The hosts were very welcoming and eager to make sure you had all that you needed to enjoy yourself while visiting their property. Outhouse was short easy walk, site was private and quiet, and I felt so safe.

Great stay!

The chalet on Danger Lake was a wonderful escape. So many beautiful animals on the property, the lodging was well appointed. There are plenty of games and books to use while there (I found a new favorite book there :). We brought DVDs from the library to watch at night, though there were movies there to use as well. The nearby town of Cambridge has a wonderful inexpensive movie theater. Kiddo and I enjoyed walking around the property and looking at herons and swans. Gary and his wife are terrific hosts.

Highly recommend

Gary’s land is awesome! The chalet is attached to a pull barn and gives warm and cozy vibes. The bar top is amazing, as well as the cool art. Gary was an excellent host. Accommodated our later arrival, let us know of everything he has to offer on his land. The spring fed pond is awesome, definitely some fish in there! The pontoon is cool, even though the trolling motor only goes in reverse, but that was still fun dealing with. His land is your land! And the goats and chickens were a nice plus! Will definitely be back!

Overall we had a great time. The hosts were excellent. Super nice and very helpful. Our only complaints would be the tv turned on but no programing at all. Not even a local channels antenna. Worst part was the lack of curtains and/or blinds on all the doors and windows. That part was pretty strange. Other than that, it was fun and the area is beautiful! Hang some curtains and I would happily stay there again!

Very nice and therapeutic overnight

With kids ·

Gary was the kindest and most thorough host; touching bases well in advance and making sure we were informed about any questions or information we might need. We stayed in the Chalet, with our 13 year old grandson. We had such a relaxing time. He had a blast catching frogs and visiting the goats and going off by himself exploring.. We read on the veranda, sketched, and watched the lake glisten through the trees, while a couple chickens strolled by. It's beautiful and comfortable inside. We slept very comfortably. Although our stay was only one night, we had a nice fire and went down to the lake in the morning . Our grandson tried fishing but no bites. We saw 3 beautiful swans on the lake . The ramp to the pontoons is not for the faint of heart. Be prepared to walk through tall weeds to get to things. The goats love to eat clover we picked and fed them. Kathryn was very welcoming and friendly. She even gave us some of her tomatoes. There is a great place to view the stars. If the Northern lights had shown up when we were out the view would have been great. I did see a few meteorites at 3:00AM . The big Pleides event....But just the night sky and the sound of the frogs, crickets and cicadas was heady stuff. The heavens declare the glory of the Lord Most High! Our grandson said he would like to live there when he grows up.

Nice, quiet location. Our daughter loved seeing the goats and chickens that live on the property. Perfect for a group of 4 looking for lodging in the area.

I really enjoyed the lake. You might think the lodging is not very private but it is. Lots of land to roam on. Deer come up on the yard which was really neat to see.

Perfect weekend camp!

We had an incredible time here! Lucked out and had our picnic table be a refurbished pontoon/picnic table with a trolling motor. We spent the whole afternoon and evening out on the lake, fishing, playing games, eating snacks. It was stunning. And there were plenty of spots for us to set up tent. Thank you to both Gary and Katherine for the hospitality and care, they are truly great hosts! The location was incredibly scenic, and the goats and chickens are a plus too☺️ Will definitely be back. Thank you!
