About the host
Hosted by Joshua
We’re a couple who loves creating cozy, memorable spaces—and Up North Lake House LLC is one of our favorites. Originally built in 1930, we fully remodeled the home together, keeping its charm while updating it for comfort and convenience. We love getting away from the busyness of the cities to enjoy quiet time on the lake, and we’re excited to share that peacefulness with our guests. Hosting is a joy for us—we genuinely enjoy helping people feel welcomed, relaxed, and at home.
Why they chose this property
We chose this spot because it’s truly a hidden gem. Unlike some of the busier surrounding lakes, Long Lake is quiet, peaceful, and spring-fed, making it ideal for swimming, paddling, and just enjoying the stillness. We love how friendly and respectful the neighbors are—it’s a place where people wave and help each other out. Whether it's the call of loons or watching eagles soar over the water, this lakeside neighborhood is the perfect blend of natural beauty and small-town charm.
What makes this property unique
Our home is one-of-a-kind—a 1930s lake house with character, fully renovated for modern comfort, sitting just steps from the water’s edge. You’ll have front-row seats to amazing sunsets with our west-facing lake view, and a screened-in porch to enjoy quiet evenings or morning coffee. The peaceful setting, charming wood stove, thoughtful amenities, and access to snowmobile trails, paddle boards, and a fire pit make this place feel like a true escape. It's cozy, welcoming, and truly "Up North."
