This is a very cute property right on Forest Lake. We were here after the first snow so no water sports for us! The property is clean and supplied with all essentials. We can see how this will be a wonderful option in summer months as well!

Clean, comfortable and easy. Kitchen was well equipted. Loved the coffee bar, and the gas fireplaces. Very comfortable living room and beds. Minor, but, the bathroom sinks were small. But the shower was great. Very comfortable, quiet and felt very safe there. We sat out several nights enjoying the beautiful sunsets.I would stay here again!Thanks Jenny!

Ultimate Vacation

This was one of our greatest vacations. Beautiful property right on the lake, a private dock. House is good size and super clean. Every need was taken care of. We were there over the 4th of July and truly the best fireworks I’ve ever seen. Very comfortable home, beds were very comfortable. Very nice neighbors! We will definitely return. When we had a question, the property owners response was immediate.
Best sunsets ever.
Fireworks. The neighbors put on the best show. The forest Lake fireworks were excellent as well.

Why they chose this property

This quiet, friendly neighborhood sits on a beautiful peninsula road along Forest Lake. You can take a peaceful morning walk through the lakeside community without worrying about traffic. And while it feels like a relaxing escape, you're just five minutes from town and only ten minutes from all the essentials.

What makes this property unique

Prime Peninsula Location – You're tucked away in a quiet, friendly neighborhood on a peninsula road, offering a more peaceful and private setting compared to busier lakefront areas.

Easy Ice Road Access – ice road just 100 feet away, making it ideal for winter activities like ice fishing and snowmobiling.

Cozy, Charming Atmosphere: it has a warm, inviting charm that makes guests feel right at home.

Perfect for Families – Your Airbnb accommodates up to six guests comfortably, making it a great choice for families looking for a lakeside getaway.

Balance of Seclusion & Convenience – While guests get to enjoy the peaceful lakeside setting, they’re only 5 minutes from town and 10 minutes from modern conveniences, making it easy to grab groceries, dine out, or explore the area.

Year-Round Appeal – Whether it’s summer boating or winter ice fishing, this is a great spot for all seasons!
