About the host
Hosted by Katie
Hello! My husband Marc and I bought this home in 2016 with the vision of creating a VRBO someday. We grew up in the Fairmont area and moved back when we started our family. We currently live on an acreage just outside of Fairmont with our four children and LOTS of animals. I work full time from home for a Renewable Energy company. We are third generation corn and soybean crop farmers in collaboration with Marc's family. We are never bored and never lonely :) We are outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy all of Minnesota's seasons (although I admit the winters do get long) including camping, boating, skiing, snow skiing, ice fishing, and biking.
Why they chose this property
This property is special to us in so many ways. Living in the country, we wanted and needed our "lake fix" so we couldn't pass on the opportunity as well as the location. Fairmont is named "City of Lakes" because it uniquely has 5 lakes that run through town all connected together by channels. There are only approximately 30 properties in Fairmont that have a walk out beach like this property. Ours happens to be perfectly located in the center of town making it a dream location!
What makes this property unique
When booking with us, you will have the solid reassurance that your needs will be met as we live close by and can be available at anytime. We look forward to sharing our wonderful lake property with you.
