This northern Minnesota home on Lake Hennepin appeals to guests with it's blend of easy charm and attention to detail. The pristine quality of the lake and surrounding 5 acres of grassy wooded property is only the beginning. Inside the newly remodeled home, you will find a cozy retreat, complete with a romantic master suite. Perfect for special celebrations (honeymoon, anniversary, reunions) or simple at-the-lake vacations, this home fits the bill for families, couples, or gatherings of friends.
Our beautiful well-equipped kitchen opens to a relaxing dining area. Enjoy a lake view whether you're cooking or eating. Tables just outside on adjoining deck and lower patio are perfect for morning coffee or al fresco dining. Reading materials, radio and music library, comfortable furnishings and artwork make the adjoining living room a warm, inviting area.
On the main floor, too, is the extraordinary master suite complete with in-room jetted tub for two and private bath. This room is graced with floor-to-ceiling "window walls" on two sides. Spacious, quiet, and romantic, this area has its own door to the outside and access to the deck, patio, and lake. Bedroom #1 is on the main floor, with plenty of room to set up a portable crib if needed. A half bath is just across the hall.
The lower level has the third cozy bedroom, separate full bath, laundry room, and entertainment room with 42" LG HDTV, DVD Player and Sony PS 3. Here is the room for a rainy day or a retreat after outdoor activities. With its walk-out feature, lake-side windows and easy to use gas fireplace, this is the place for movies, TV sports, or video games. Two fold out beds also allow this room to sleep 4.
One of northern Minnesota's natural gifts is the panorama of the seasons. Warm weather and water activities abound here. Autumn in the north country is stunningly beautiful, perfect for long hikes and visits to Itasca. In the winter, park your snowmobiles in our 40' square garage or take up cross-country skiing or ice fishing. Imagine Thanksgiving or Christmas gatherings in this rustic setting. Here is an ideal spot to rest and renew, year after year.

Why the Owner Chose Bemidji
The Lake Hennepin property is centrally located between Bemidji, a bustling college town, and the legendary Itasca State Park, source of the Mississippi River. As a northern Minnesota retreat, this ideal location offers the full range of outdoor, lake, and scenic activities. The nearby city of Bemidji is available to all who are looking for an easy day trip into town and all it has to offer. Our northern Minnesota heritage made this rental property an easy choice when the opportunity became available.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The unique vantage point of the house on 5 acres, with the island view, pines and birch, the unspoiled shoreline, and the presence of wildlife and waterfowl, all combine to present a look into Minnesota's past while enjoying thoroughly modern living. How often do you get to see six loons playing thirty feet from your deck? Wildflowers, bear tracks, wolf calls...this is the real deal. DNR hiking trails can be found a 5 minute walk from the front door of this lake home. Inside the home, find maps and tourism info from both the Bemidji and Park Rapids area detailing nearby trails for biking, hiking, snowmobiling, and cross-country or downhill skiing. Visit nearby Bemidji for a taste of civilization. Itasca to the south and Bemidji to the north provide the two different aspects of wilderness and town life for our guests to partake in. Are you bringing your boat? The public boat landing is literally 2 lots away from our dock.

Meet the Owners: Paulette Barthelemy and husband Tom Gleason, Tom Barthelemy and wife Billie Barthelemy The Barthelemys (Tom and Paulette are brother and sister) were born and raised in Bemidji, MN, so we have our roots in the northern Minnesota Lake Country. With his Masters in Architecture and life-long work in construction , Tom Barthelemy's design and building skills allowed us to bring this property to the completed, well-crafted state you will see in our photos. Tom and wife Billie, a textile artist, still live in the Bemidji area. I am Paulette Barthelemy; my husband Tom Gleason and I have lived, worked and raised our family in Alexandria, in central Minnesota, for 30 years. Tom and I have truly enjoyed furnishing and preparing this exceptional property for use by family and vacation rental guests. It's been a joy to watch our children and grandchildren share in the bounties of northern Minnesota. We invite you to discover quiet and a variety of activities in and around the Lake Hennepin area.
