Welcome to Shady Pines- your dream family vacation!
Nestled amongst the towering pines on the pristine shores of Kimble Lake—part of the scenic Ossawinnamakee Lake Chain—this up north retreat is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy all that Minnesota's Northwoods has to offer. Whether you’re soaking in the clear waters of Kimble Lake from your private beach, setting out for a sunset cruise on the pontoon, or cozying up by the wood fireplace, you’ll find peace and relaxation at every turn.
Challenge your family to a friendly game of ping-pong in the rec room, or simply sit back and listen to the peaceful calls of the loons from the lakeside deck. Whatever your idea of the perfect “up north” escape is, Shady Pines has it all!
With 7 spacious bedrooms, 5 baths, a loft area, and a lakeside dining room, this home offers ample room for everyone. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for family meals, and the open living spaces are ideal for gathering together, no matter the season.
Please note, while the property is equipped with stunning views and incredible amenities, there are multiple stairs leading down to the lake, so it may not be suitable for those requiring handicap accessibility.
For winter adventurers, the ideal snowmobile trail is just a 2-minute drive from the front door, making it easy to explore the area. Head to local eateries like the Old Milwaukee Club or Norway Ridge for a warm meal after a day on the trails, or embark on a longer ride that connects to the Breezy Point and Crosslake trails. Winter lovers will appreciate the back-up generator, ensuring a warm and comfortable stay even on the coldest days.
Shady Pines on Kimble Lake is the ultimate Northwoods getaway, whether you’re looking for summer lake days or winter adventures. Book your stay today and experience the best of Minnesota’s lakes, trails, and timeless cabin charm.
