🎣Outdoor Lake Life This property truly shines outdoors!
🐠💧Wells & Cannon Lake sandbar! Engage in several popular social and beach-style activities during the summer months. Because the water over the sandbars is consistently shallow, it acts as a natural, waist-deep playground.
🏐Volleyball: Boaters frequently anchor in a line to set up portable, floating volleyball nets or anchor poles directly into the shallow sand : The shallow, open water provides the perfect low-resistance turf for tossing waterproof footballs, Frisbees, or playing paddleball.
🛟Floating & Lounging: Inflatables, oversized water mats (lily pads), and mesh lawn chairs are anchored in the knee-to-waist-deep water for all-day relaxing.
🦦Wading & Socializing: Many visitors simply stand in the warm, shallow water to chat, listen to music from boat sound systems, and swim.

This property was so beautiful and so well kept! We had a lovely time hosting a small family gathering for a baby shower and everyone was blown away by the home and lake view. Rick was very easy to correspond with and made the check in and check out instructions very clear. Would definitely recommend this property for anyone needing a beautiful MN getaway.
Beautiful home on a quiet lake. We came in for a quick weekend and it was a perfect spot for what we were looking for. Extremely spacious and clean.My son and his friend enjoyed fishing in the kayaks and playing pool. A great getaway.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Char! We’re so happy to hear Lakeside Haven was the perfect spot for your weekend getaway. It’s great to know your son and his friend enjoyed fishing from the kayaks and spending time by the pool, and that you found the home spacious, clean, and relaxing. We’d love to welcome you and your family back for another stay on the lake anytime! Safe travels, and thank you again for choosing Lakeside Haven! 🌊🏡🎣
Beautiful spacious home! With 3 couples and 2 other adults, we still had ample room for sleeping, bathing, etc. The kitchen had all we needed and we had a great time around the fire pit on multiple nights. The view of the lake is amazing!We went during late August so there weren't many people on the lake which was nice. We didn't have much luck fishing and I would check lakequality.org before swimming. Overall we had a great time spending and made many memories. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had. If you're looking to rent a pontoon, Winjum's Shady Acres Resort rents some and is on a lake just 15 minutes away.
