About this property

Beautiful Get Away for any season only ONE Hour from the Twin Cities!

Beautiful Lake House within an hour’s drive of the Twin Cities

This peaceful lake home is located only 1 hour out of the Twin Cities! Situated on west side of Little Elk Lake (near Zimmerman, MN) and sits on a 1 acre wooded property with a breathtaking, southeast facing, view of the lake front perfect for spectacular sunrises. A dock for you to fish from and secure your boat or perhaps jet skis.

Recently, the house was beautifully updated with a stunning kitchen to include a wine cooler. Outfitted with new furniture. It’s just simply stated, a perfect place to relax with family and friends, enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning on the patio or perhaps enjoy a glass of wine in the evening as the sun sets. Sleeps up to 16 guests. 1-King bed, 2-Queen beds, 1-Full futon sofa. 4- pull out queen sleeper sofas, and 1- pull out twin sleeper sofa. To top it off, It’s expansive 21’x30’ loft outfitted with a wet bar and under-counter refrigerator is a great place for kids and grandkids to get away and spend time as the adults relax on the lake front.

This year-around conveniently located lake get-away is an amazing way to spend time on a lake in the summer fishing and boating, enjoying spectacular fall colors, and in the winter ice fishing and snowmobiling. Extremely convenient access to the boat launch area in the summer and the Minnesota snowmobile trail system in the winter.

An amazing property. The beds were super comfortable as well as the furniture throughout the house. More than enough space for us. And the kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. We will definitely stay again.

The lake house is absolutely beautiful and well-kept. All the couches are pull-outs so everyone in my group of 14 was comfortable! The host is so thoughtful with movie setup and firewood as well.

This home & property was beautiful and clean with so many amenities. We stayed here as it was close to the venue our son was getting married at. We were comfortable and appreciated the peaceful space with beautiful lake views to take in during the fall season.

The house is gorgeous. We felt like we had everything we needed to be at home. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. We didn't have a chance to use the water equipment due to weather but, the fire pit is lovely and the entertainment room is cozy for movie night!
