About this property
Log Home on Circle Lake - Now with Pickleball Court!
Vacation in a Gorgeous Log Home out in the Country on Beautiful Circle Lake! We have tons of amenities, but everyone's favorite is the Lake! A close second are the Lake toys, including 2 brand-new fast Hydro-bikes ($5,000 worth) 2 Paddleboards, 2 Kayaks & 1 Canoe! Two log swings & a super-comfy fabric swing overlooking the Lake are amazing!
We have room for up to 10 guests in beds, in five beautiful bedrooms! Past Guests have told us we have the most comfortable beds they've ever slept in! You'll have 3,000+ square feet in the lower level, facing Circle Lake, to spread out in!
You will enter your own separate entrance on the lake-side of the house. (We live quietly upstairs, but are gone a lot travelling ourselves. Our kids are gone, and we do not have a dog.)
You'll have a Theater Room for watching TV & Movies! You'll have a full kitchen, with a square high-top table that seats 8, which is great for games! A Pool Table awaits to entertain you.
The sleeping rooms are separated with a walk thru a short hallway (only one step down) to the Kitchen/Dining Room/Game Room. That keeps the Sleeping rooms completely quiet, even when some are still playing games or watching TV.
Pontoon Rental Available on the Lake: Sunset Pontoon Rentals (Ask for contact number after booking). 2024 Rates - $450 a day plus gas

About the host
Hosted by Peter Sheehan
My Dream since I was 5 years old ... was to LIVE ON A LAKE!
In 2000, we purchased this Dream Lake Home, added Log siding, and doubled the size of the Chalet. You will Vacation in over 3,000 sq of pure Fun & Relaxation!
We LOVE people, and are excited to hosts new guests!
Why they chose this property
We LOVE the up-north feeling in Southern MN. Julie was raised on a pork farm in Western MN, and I was raised in Maplewood, MN, when it was rural. (It's city now.) My Dad was a WWII Vet, and loved taking his 4 boys camping to a Lake somewhere, or to a State Park on the North Shore of Lake Superior! So we both have desired to get away from the hustle & bustle of the Twin Cities ever since we got married in 1982.
We bought this in 2000, and have never regretted living on the Lake for one minute!
What makes this property unique
We are only 10 minutes from Faribault & Northfield, where we do much of our shopping.
But you can get to the Mall of America in 30 minutes, Valley Fair Amusement Park in 35 minutes, downtown Mpls or St Paul in 45 minutes, and to the Twin Cities International Airport in 35 minutes. (A number of pilots & flight attendants live here on Circle Lake!)
People enjoy visiting Historic Northfield, (10 min away) where in 1878 the Town's People defeated the Jesse James Gang. You can still visit the original Bank, and Museum next door, where his raiders met their demise. (In fact: the Northfield High School Mascot Name ... The Raiders!) The "Defeat of Jesse James Celebration" takes place the 2nd weekend in September every year, with over 100,000 visitors!
Minnesota is fairly flat, but not around here. The Cannon River & Wolf Creek have carved out rolling hills, streams, ponds, with tons of wildlife. Dairy & Sheep Farms still line the country roads nearby.
Past Guests have told us coming to our Chalet on Circle Lake was, "The Best Vacation they ever had!" It's so remote & quiet here, you can totally focus on fun & fellowship with your family & friends!
