Whimsical Cottage on the Lake
- Minimum stay:3 nights
- Internet:No
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
This lake home is located in the W Meadowbrook area on the MN side of Big Stone Lake. It features a 30' glassed in porch, 3 sleeping areas, stone fireplace and 2 additional guest cottages. It has been redone and designed with an eye toward cottage style. Hand painted Scandinavian art by Gold Medalist Rosemaller Karen Jensen is featured throughout.
Walk up to the french doors and see all the way through to the water. A rosemalled staircase, and striking wood interiors (incl bullnose) make for an inviting place for family gatherings. Shaker style kitchen cabinets and a claw foot tub in the main bathroom lend a vintage feel.
The open floor plan conveys a sense of ease and sophistication and the character of this home is emphasized by the quality and style of furnishings.
An outdoor bathhouse/bathroom provides a whimsical spot to shower after swimming.
So if you are looking for a great place for your whole family to come and make memories, share a meal, take a nap or just sit and enjoy the breeze in the porch, this may be the getaway for you.

Our stays at the cottage always leave us with a desire to return and soon. There are unique activities in the area to explore but never enough time because we do not want to leave the property! It is spacious and cozy. It is warm with cool breezes off the lake. It has a personality like none other. Everything you need to enjoy the peace and tranquility. Our hosts were delightful!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

What a beautiful home and setting—just as pictured and more! Our stay was brief, but early morning coffee at the end of the dock and feeling the sun's warmth was beyond description. A place I’d love to be every morning! I brought my book along, but was too captured by the beauty of the place, the cozy accommodations, the wildlife, and the many changing panoramas of the lake to read it! The serenity of the place is “just what the doctor ordered” if you are looking for beauty, peace and quiet and great accomodations.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

Really enjoyed the charm of this spacious lake cabin! The sleeping area in the front room was especially wonderful: hearing the waves and feeling the breeze was wonderful! The grounds are lovely and there is lots of room outside to play yard games or just relax! The upstairs sleeping quarters, w/the bunks were fantastic - though just two of us, in this large space, we could appreciate how great this space would be for a large group too. The kitchen also has everything you'd need. The area has plenty of trails for walking and biking too. If you're looking for a larger space for a friends or family getaway, I'd recommend this VRBO, fully!Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

Enjoyed our family celebration weekend at the lake so much! Plenty of room for extended family, while not being on top of each other. Creek and lakeshore beach, volleyball, swimming, fishing, scrabble, campfire, outdoor shower/bathroom (perfect for after swimming), kayaking, local farm produce (Lismore Farms is well worth the trip), golf and a local swimming pool that is full of small town fun. We'll be back, for sure!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
