About this property

Cozy Home by boat launch, park, dock and downtown Ortonville and Big Stone

Charming Lakeview Home – Affordable, Comfortable, and Full of Character
Welcome to our 100-year-old home with a full view of Big Stone Lake—an affordable and comfortable spot for families, fishers, and travelers looking for a laid-back stay. The house has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and sleeps six. It’s equipped with all the basics: a full kitchen (fridge, stove, dishwasher), AC, and a fenced-in backyard with a patio perfect for grilling or watching the sunset.
This home has a lot of character and history. It’s clean, cozy, and well-loved, but not a luxury hotel—and we’ve priced it accordingly.
We want our guests to have a great stay and come in with the right expectations. If you're looking for a down-to-earth, comfortable base for lake days or small-town exploring, we think you’ll love it here.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The place was exactly what we needed. We stayed there for a weekend of ice fishing, comfy beds, hot shower, big enough kitchen to move around in. Would stay there again if we go back to Big Stone and Ortonville.

Overall, my family had a good stay. The house is small, and the bedrooms are pretty tight. But it worked for our family. The owner's description is perfect; it's a neat little house with the basics, nothing too fancy. But we weren't looking for fancy. The location was great for our family, right across the road from the lake. There was a nice little beach area for my son to play, just a short walk from the house, as well as a neat little playground. We also enjoyed having the fenced-in area off the patio doors, which was perfect for my adventurous son and our dog. I will say the worst part of the trip was all the bees on the patio, although that isn't the owner's fault. But I am allergic to bees, so that was disappointing. It would have been nice to have a few extra blankets, but other than that, the necessities were provided, and the owner was quick with their responses the few times I had questions. We would stay again!
