Once you arrive at The Landing Spot, you'll know you are in the right spot. This modernly appointed lake home sits on the west side of West Lake Sylvia. It has roughly 85 feet of lake shore and is quietly nestled in the woods.
The home has an open floor plan with large rooms. You will be able to relax comfortably during your stay. The master bedroom has a king bed and flat screen TV. A queen bed and twin over twin bunk beds are in the second bedroom. The lower level has a twin over full bunk bed to accommodate 3 additional guests.
Talk to your friends and family while they relax at the counter as you prepare meals in the large kitchen appointed with stainless steel appliances. The dining room table seats 6 and 4 more can be seated at the island.
There is plenty of room to unwind in the living room while you watch the HDTV or stream music. The Landing Spot has internet access, WiFi and a land line for phone service.
At just shy of one acre, you'll have plenty of space to park and participate in outdoor activities. Relax in the hot tub after a day on the water or enjoying a round of golf at one of the nearby golf courses. Many outdoor activities are available for your guests to enjoy, such as bean bag toss, ladder ball and bocce ball.
Of course there is the lake to enjoy too. Lake Sylvia is one of the top lakes in Minnesota boasting 17 ft water clarity. Paddle boards, kayaks and a canoe are available for use on the lake. The owner also has a 2018 Bennington Pontoon for rent. The boat is rented through Boatsetter. Go to their website and search for boats near Annanadale, or West Lake Sylvia, and you'll see a pontoon by Scott. The public access is close by for ease of launching your boat.
For the safety and security of our guests, the front of the home is monitored by a Ring surveillance camera mounted to the motion sensitive light.

We love ending our summer at The Landing Spot! This was our 5th year and my kids look forward to it all year long! Wonderful family friendly vacation option with so much to do :)
Another relaxing stay at The Landing Spot. This was our fourth time and as always the checkin was flawless and the cleanliness top notch. Scott is a great host and always quick to respond to any questions you might have.
Enjoyed the stay! Loved the hot tub! Great location! Very clean and has all the essentials so don’t need to worry about bringing anything. Beds were comfy! We will be back again!
We had a great time. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was amazing and the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be back.
This place is great - right on a lake, has everything you could need (games, puzzles, internet, big open kitchen, hot tub!) and working with the owner was seamless. We’ve been twice and will likely come again.
The landing spot was such a great place for our family to get away and unplug. The house was clean and as described/pictured. There were things for everyone to enjoy. We have a 7 year old and teenagers and everyone had a great time.
Scott was very responsive and easy to work with. We loved our stay and would definitely book with them again.
Impressive- excellent communication- gorgeous cabin with Great Lake access. Super comfy, a lot of room. Kids loved the game room. Deck overlooking the lake was great! Planning to rebook next year. Thank you for sharing your cabin.

Welcoming nice stay at this Beautiful Lake Home! Very neat & clean with well stocked,& thoughtful amenities provided! Enjoyed grilled meals & eating on the spacious deck!! Evenings around the nicely landscaped fire pit with wood provided was a plus❣️ With morning coffee on the dock, to watch and listen to the music of the loons, birds, & sand hill cranes❣️ Thank you for sharing your Lake Home with our family, adding to more great memories on Lake Sylvia ❣️
We had 6 adults in our group. This house was very accommodating, we had plenty of room to all spread out. We enjoyed the canoe, kayaks, hot tub and games! We planned a few nights out for supper, but there was so much to do we never left the property. Scott was very fast at responding to any questions we had. The house is very clean and so well stocked you really only need to bring food and clothes. We all really enjoyed our stay at The Landing Spot!

Why they chose this property
Lake Sylvia is one of the premier lakes in Minnesota. It's close proximity to the Twin Cities makes it easy to get to any time of the year. We attend many St Cloud Hockey games in the winter. We plan on spending time here in the winter after hockey games.
What makes this property unique
We looked at many homes in the Annandale area. This home is larger than most and completely updated with top of the line finishes. The home sits back from the lake a bit, which coupled with the large lot and woods on one side you'll find this home to be peaceful and private. There are a lot of windows allowing you to enjoy the scenery.
