This lakeside retreat on Duck Lake is perfect for vacationers looking for 'small lake' peace and quiet with quick and convenient 'big lake' access. It is situated on 180' of shoreline under a canopy of pine trees and offers all the amenities of an environmental lake- loons, ducks, geese, song birds, tree frogs, bull frogs, deer and the occasional eagle. The home features cottage-like decor with custom built cabinets, new appliances, lots of lakeside windows, and a cozy feel with plenty of space for all your "stuff". The main floor provides 1 bedroom with a twin over queen log bunk bed and its own full bath. The second floor provides the 2nd bedroom with a king size bed, the third bedroom with a twin bed and a shared full bath. The half bath and laundry room are on the main level. Conveniently, the public boat launch to Cross Lake on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes is just 1/4 mile down the road and downtown Crosslake is just a few minutes away. While the shoreline on Duck Lake is great for wildlife, a 3 minute walk takes you to a suitable swimming area on the South end of Cross Lake. Get your daily exercise or take a relaxing nature walk on the brand new bike path that intersects our driveway (runs about 3 miles). This family-friendly property also features a children's swing/slide/climb system, a firepit, and a canoe. So, whether you decide to venture out and join the crowds or withdraw and hideout, these accommodations provide the means. And don't forget the Yatzee and a good book- with our unpredictable Minnesota weather, you never know when you're going to need to put on a pot of coffee, start a fire, sink into a chair and listen to the sound of the rain. There is something to do in this area for the enthusiast of just about anything. So pack up the ski boat, the fishing gear, the bikes, the jet ski, your tennis shoes, golf shoes, shopping shoes, horse shoes or whatever and come see all that the lakes area has to offer. |
