About this property

Eagle’s Nest - Lake Home with Hot Tub and Fire Pit

Summary:
Your “cabin” in the city awaits you. A modern space with a sprawling floorplan offers the perfect getaway for families and friends to gather. Rest and relax here, and when you're ready to explore the Twin Cities, it is just minutes away. Take in lake views from the hot tub, the deck, living room and sun porch. You’ll feel like you’re up north yet you’ll be close to everything.

The Space:
This house is perfect for family gatherings, girls weekends, guys weekends, weddings, company retreats and more. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and 3 bedrooms downstairs, and each level has its own bathroom, living room, TV, and fireplace. Off the main living room is an expansive deck that has a spectacular view of Lake Schmidt. The downstairs living room opens to an equally huge sun porch with just as good of views, heated by a gas fireplace.

There is also a wet bar with a sink and full fridge in the room leading to the hot tub patio.

I have everything you need here: clean linens/towels/washcloths, all kitchen utensils you need, and cooking and baking spices/supplies, etc.

While swimming and fishing in the lake is not recommended, people have done it before if they're feeling adventurous or overly optimistic about fish. The water is shallow so the actively growing aquatic plants in the water usually reach the surface in August.

There is direct access to the lake via about 15 steps that lead to the water's edge. There you will find a canoe, 2 kayaks, and the paddles. Life jackets are in the storage bin by the hot tub. Exploring the lake is so much fun! You’ll probably see turtles, small fish, one of the resident bald eagles, egrets, muskrats, and so much more. The lake is teeming with life. And if you come any time in the spring to late fall, you will find a beautiful lily pad field with the most amazing flowers just to the left of the property.

There are 6 bedrooms all with queen-sized beds. And for groups that need to accommodate more...four more people can sleep on the two couches that convert into beds in the lower level living room. Four more can sleep on the 2 air mattresses provided. Sleeps 20 people in total.

When making your reservation request, please be aware that the number of guests you list when booking is the maximum that will be allowed on the property. Once your reservation is confirmed, you will be asked to provide the names of all who will be at the house for a half hour or more (infants 12 months and younger will not be counted as guests). Please note that there are cameras that are only focused on the entrances to the house and NOT inside the house in any way. Inviting more people to the house that are not listed may result in immediate cancelation of the booking without refund.

Guest Access:
You will have access to the entire property.

Other Things to Note:
For your reservation, it includes 4 guests and each additional person over 4 people is $30/person/night. A guest is defined as anyone on the property for over a half hour and over the age of 1.

Enjoy the 7-person hot tub year-round - it's kept at 102 degrees upon your arrival. Also available year-round is the enormous fire-pit patio and I do include unlimited kiln-dried oak firewood for you to build as many fires as you like. There is a propane grill on the deck which is always ready. There is seating for 12 on the deck.

I offer early check-in or late check-out for $75/hour, but please schedule this in advance so we can plan accordingly.

HOUSE RULES:
(1) Quiet Hours: 10pm to 7AM which means no outdoor socializing. My neighbors are VERY IMPORTANT to me and I have a zero tolerance policy on this rule. All outdoor socializing, ESPECIALLY IN THE HOT TUB, must conclude by 10pm. No exceptions to this rule.
(2) No smoking in the house (smoking on the deck is allowed)
(3) Guest list provided before your stay must match your actual guests. Please understand an open guest list party may result in immediate cancellation of your reservation and any guests over the amount listed when booking will be charged at $30/guest/night.

I request a $1,000 security deposit to ensure these 3 rules are followed. To pay the security deposit, I will make a Money Request through the website and, after your stay, the security deposit is refunded through the website within 24 hours assuming the 3 rules are followed.

I do not enjoy being so strict and requiring this security deposit but past experiences have made these steps necessary. I greatly appreciate your understanding.

Interaction with Guests:
There is a keypad on the main door so just show up and you have the place to yourself. If you need something, I'm usually only 15 minutes away and can help with anything you need.

Great place to stay once again
This was our group’s second stay at Inver Grove Heights and the experience both times was great. Clean, well-appointed home, with seamless check-in access and great amenities (including a hot tub, great in the winter). Would recommend.

Gorgeous lakeside spot
Wonderful place. So fun to have kayaks and canoe lakeside. We took a few lovely paddles around Schmidt lake and saw snapping turtles and enjoyed the geese taking flight. Beds super comfy, nice linens and pillows. Tons of games available. Lots of places to commune or take quiet alone time. Loved the bbq and bonfire. Would prefer to not hear the nearby freeway noise but we decided to pretend it was the ocean! The place is otherwise so peaceful. Would also love to have better serving platters and bowls in kitchen for a place that otherwise is so thoroughly well appointed.

Girls' Trip
6 of us have been traveling together for 10 years, mostly in the outstate Minnesota area, but when we saw this listing it looked perfect - on a lake, 6 bedrooms, fire pit, hot tub - who could ask for anything more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was the most well-appointed kitchen we have ever stayed at and the owner had anticipated just about any possible need we could encounter. We had a great time!
