Vacation Home Island Lake Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

If you're searching for a Minnesota Northwoods luxury home with every convenience, AND you'd like a secluded location on a great walleye fishing lake, AND you need a boat, your search has just ended! First the location. Island Lake is located midway between Detroit Lakes and Park Rapids. It is a clean 1100 acre deep lake with a public boat launch (click on link provided for details). Upon your arrival, tall pines, mature oaks and maples greet you as you pass through a gated entrance and up the private driveway. The yard is beautifully and extensively landscaped with perennials, the hot tub awaits you on the deck. There's really nothing better than enjoying a soak under the stars while the birds sing!

Outdoor amenities include a lakeside fire pit, two seating areas, a potting shed for gardeners, a fenced area for pets, a dog run, 2 car garage with workbench ... and there's always the lake! This home is on a hilltop with 120 feet of lake shore HOWEVER there are steps to the lake. The shoreline has a 48 ft. dock w/bench, a separate deck with a fire pit and steps leading into the water. A 16 ft. Crestliner pontoon is available for qualified renters... you'll want to cruise up to the eagles' nest to check out the babies! A diving dock is anchored out front too.

This home has everything you'd want. Spectacular lake views, a bright and airy interior -- this is truly a place to unwind, relax and enjoy! This home was completely rebuilt in 2000. An open floor plan, huge gourmet kitchen, comfortable furnishings and a casual atmosphere await your arrival. The kitchen has everything you could think of and more. Sitting area, professional appliances, walk-in pantry, espresso maker (gotta have that morning latte!), 2 seating areas and lots of cookbooks if you're so inclined. The large living room includes a gas fireplace, entertainment center and library. The main floor queen bedroom is adjacent to a full bath and main floor laundry area. The 2 upstairs bedrooms share a full bath. The sun room overlooking the lake is a great spot for reading or catching up on email while still enjoying lake views. Lots of board games for a rainy day, plenty of yard games and water toys available.

To maximize your enjoyment, the homeowner also provides concierge services including stocking the refrigerator with groceries and beverages, baking and meal preparation in advance of your arrival, or even picking up bait so you're not wasting your valuable vacation time. If you're flying and require airport pickup in Fargo or elsewhere, that service is also available. Please contact us for a quote!

This home is not your typical rental-type unit, it's a private home that will make you feel right at home! Island Lake is truly your fantasy come true!

For additional photos, please contact us. A home tour in advance of your booking is also available.

FALL FISHING SPECIAL: Walleye fishing is late September heats up. I'm now offering a discount on late season bookings. Contact me for details!

WINTER RESERVATIONS: Searching for the perfect destination for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's or just a winter getaway? My home is available (minus the boat) but with all the natural beauty and amenities of winter. The snowmobile trail system passes near my home, cross-country skiing, ice-fishing, snowshoeing all await you out the front door. Soaking in the outdoor hot tub is the perfect ending to a winter's day of activities. Contact me for winter specials.
