'2 Pines Hide Away' on Shirt Lake, Deerwood, Minnesota

Year Purchased: 1997

Why the Owner Chose Deerwood

We decided on this area of Minnesota after traveling throughout the entire state. This area was choosen for the hard-woods of Sugar-Maple, Oaks, and Birch; along with the dense forest of pine trees. We see several eagles, white-tail deer daily, amoung several other animals.
It's terrain is of rolling hills, dense rich forest areas, and many many lakes withing walking distants of our own 'Shirt Lake' within miles of the famous Bay Lake, Farm Island, and Mille Lacs Lake recreation areas. We are still close to shopping, golfing, the 'Mail of America', and the sea-port of Duluth on Lake Superior (one of the Great Lakes) only two hours away.

 

Owner's Map of Deerwood

Enjoy a day of solitude, beautiful scenery, and some of the finest fishing Minnesota has to offer. Our lake is a trophy Large Mouth Bass Lake and an excellent crappie and sunfish lake!
Go by boat or walk to the sandy beach, by boat just across the bay to an island to swim and enjoy! I am enjoying the day with my two grandchildren, & daugther-inlaw out on the water during a gorgeous day!

    • A place for true relaxation. A lovely and comfortable house. My two daughters (2 1/2 and 4) both felt completely at home; although the house is not child-proofed, I never feared for their safety (or that they might break something). We made good use of the canoe, paddling daily a half-mile to the small beach where the girls had a blast. The property is on the shallower end of the lake, which is great: no loud motors blasting by to ruin the peace and quiet. Quiet enough that there is a beaver lodge no more than 30 feet from the dock. If you want to relax with all the comforts in natural surroundings, 2 Pines 'Hide Away' is for you.

    • We had a wonderful time at your beautiful lake home. We caught several northern pike and bass using your row-boat. We felt very much at home, falling asleep to the sounds of the loons brings back happy memories.

      Homeowner Response:
      We are so happy to hear wonderful things about our vacation lake home. We think it is so unique to be so secluded with this much acreage along the lake, and have so much wildlife around us, and yet be so close to so many activities too. Fishing is always good somewhere on the lake whatever time of the year you spend here, you can always catch a nice meal of fresh fish.

    • Our group of nine fisherman range in age from 14-65 and everyone loved the place! the fishing was great and we got a lot of use out of the boat and canoe. Your house is very well equipped we found everything we needed except a bar of soap. Thanks again for working with us on this once in a life-time trip.

      Homeowner Response:
      So sad to hear Doug this is a once in a life time trip, don't forget we will give you a repeat customer discount the next time! Oh, we do not furnish bar-soap in the vacation rental, but we do have liquid hand-body soap dispensers throughout the rental, that way we do not have to throw the soap away when each party checks-out.

    • A great time was had by all. Love the flowers and gardens, enjoyed many a bike ride and love seeing and hearing all of the wildlife. We saw owls, deer, muskrat, hawks, and a bald- eagle, and many chipmucks, lets not forget the loons, it was fantatic to listen to the coyotes singing again! Wish you would have been next door so I could have seen your studio and talked with a kinderd spirit! The Knutsons ( New Richmond, WI & the Dalguards (from Blommenhold, Norway

    • We were there August 13-16, 2007. This is a very nice house right on Shirt Lake near Deerwood, MN. Closest town is maybe 5 miles. Very quiet. Lake is very low in 2007, so don't plan on doing boating. Use the time reading, relaxing, enjoying the quiet and peacefulness of the place. Owners are very friendly, and keep the place spotless. We would stay again when we just want to get away from the normal routine.

      Homeowner Response:
      Owner recommends to oar out to the main part of the lake and then you will be able to boat anyplace and do pretty much any type of water sports. The only way to get to our dock at this time is by row-boat or canoe.
