About this property

Cape Cod Style lake home with beach front - only 1 hour from Minneapolis MN.

Spacious low maintenance beach house ~perfect for a memorable get-away or long term stay.

Guests enjoy the sunrise from every room in the am, fun and relaxation in afternoon and winding down the day around a lively lakeshore bonfire. Enjoy the luxuries of home with cable TV and Wi-Fi.

Naturally well-lit, fully furnished, 3 bedrooms with 1 full bath.

Sleeps 6 with six beds total: Two bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen and one with a sofa convert for 1 person. One bedroom downstairs with two new full beds.

Fully furnished upper level living room with sliding door to wraparound deck overlooking the lake. Lower level TV room with TV, couch and recliner and sliding glass door with direct access to the patio, bonfire, sandy beach and refreshing lake.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking and serving basics, microwave, oven, stove top, refrigerator, rice cooker, toaster and Keurig coffee service. Charcoal barbecue available on outdoor deck.

You can rent boats, jet skis other water toys in the area (Annandale, Delano, Monticello).

Destination lake for fishing bass, northerns and crappies -and definitely sunfish around the dock- kids love the dock fishing. Lots of fishing houses out in the winter.
Our boat is not there but we have a boat lift, 1 canoe, 2 sit in kayaks, one stand-up board (SUP) and Lilypad mat.

The house is octagonal with a ceiling fan and windows on all sides which create an incredible breeze throughout the home from the lake and makes for a very comfortable setting without AC. Comes with an AC window unit for the lower level bedroom. Rarely if ever used.

Washer and dryer available in lower level.

A true family get-away.

Nice little lake house
Our week at the cabin was awesome. We had a great stay, and the cabin was very comfortable. Our beds, pillows and bedding were all clean and comfortable and there was enough room for everyone. Plenty of towels... you don't need to bring any. Grocery store nearby had everything we needed. The kitchen is tiny but we grilled most every night and there was everything we needed for that. There is a lot of grass and seaweed in the lake near the shore but when we went out into the lake it was perfect. Perfect temperature and calm waters. Not many motorized boats at all. Quiet area. The owner Julie was there when we arrived and gave us a quick run down of all we needed and check out was easy. We had some severely hot days but the window AC in the basement cooled things off until a storm came and the temp improved. The washer/drier was nice to have, and the extra refrigerator downstairs was helpful as well. We used the paddle boards, canoe and kayaks every day. There were plenty of life jackets too. We chose this because of the lake and the "cabin" feel. We did not want a condo or a perfectly decorated/high end place. We wanted to have fun, enjoy the lake and each other and that's just what we did! With our large family and two dogs, it was just right. Thank you Julie!

Love the beach!
I think I picked the hottest weekend of the year to rent so it was quite steamy without AC but that was ok because we were in the lake a lot. Loved having the paddleboards and kayaks. It's a little weedy in front of the beach but a short paddle out to swim is easy. The firepit is beautiful but it was too hot for us to have a fire. If your stay includes a Saturday you must hit the Wright County Swappers Meet. Super fun. This is our second time here and we'll be back. Julie is an awesome host!

Week at the lake
It was perfect for my family of 4. My teenage sons had plenty of room in the downstairs bedroom. We loved the kayaks and the outdoor space. Host was very responsive. It was a great time! Would definitely come back!

Outside amenities is the best part of this property
Check-in was super smooth. The outside view is beautiful! The outdoor fire pit and sandy area is great, esp for our little kiddos. The property also comes with floatied, a couple kayaks, paddle board, canoe and some fishing poles. All in good shape! The water by the sandy area is filled with a bunch of weeds. We really didn’t mind it, but if that’s not your thing, you’ll not enjoy it. I think the biggest bummer was the inside of the property. The place feels crammed and has a lot of stuff in it. Like even odds and ends. The kitchen is really small and there is no room to place the food you bring other than what goes into the fridge. We were there on some cooler days so the lack of air conditioning upstairs didn’t bother us with all the fans they had on hand and opening the windows for the breeze off the lake. Overall, if you are looking for a good outside experience by the lake and don’t care about inside amenities then I think this place has what you are looking for!
