Cozy Cabin on Cedar Lake

About Merle Gaedy

We, are a crazy busy family of four that absolutely enjoy staying at our cabin year around with our young kids, friends and family. Having a cabin on a lake less than an hour from our twin cities house was a dream for both my wife and I since we were married. We both really enjoy water sports, and before we purchased our cabin cherished every opportunity we had to spend in or on the water. Since purchasing the cabin we have spent nearly every summer weekend here to relax, get-away and have fun with the kids and during spring, fall and winter we visit as often as our busy schedule allows. We enjoy it here so much, we hope to some-day make this a place we can ultimately retire and relax.

Merle Gaedy purchased this Cabin in 2011

Why Merle Gaedy chose Alden

We loved the size and functions of Cedar lake and with the close proximity of the cabin and bunkhouse to the lake it offers great views and sunsets. The cabin has a nice level lot meaning NO steps or hills to the dock or lake. Directly in front of the cabin and off the end of the dock, the water depth is only 27" deep with a comfortable sandy bottom creating a great place for children to play while being supervised from the deck. Lastly, the cabin is situated towards the end of the point meaning a low traffic road, which was a benefit while children play on the driveway.

What makes this Cabin unique

Close to the cities, but not overly known (or busy) - this is a convenient get-away from our normal "city" life that has truly let us focus on having fun family time. We have enjoyed spending time at the sunken sandbar - as it is a unique gathering place for relaxing, meeting others, or catching a game of water volleyball. The restaurant on the lake has let us be lazy, on occasion when we don't want to cook. Lastly, the flat lot, has allowed for endless hours of yard games, lake-side campfires, and sunset viewing.
