About this property
Lake life is Calling
***2024 update***. We are currently undergoing an extensive landscaping project for the lakeside yard, we are adding steps/ grading for better accessibility down to lake, a boat house with above deck, firepit area above/ behind the boathouse. Photos will be updated once this Hardscape is mostly completed in the spring. Plantings will be ongoing throughout the summer and years to some with a focus on native and lake health. Fenced area has been removed permanently.
1 hr from the Twin Cities (give or take 15m). Our house is located on Big Lake, part of 3 refreshing lakes- Church Pine (170 acre), Round lake (60-80 Acres), and our Big Lake ( 245 acres). 2 boat landings, a underpass, and a chanel so pontoons and smaller boats can cruise all 3 lakes water levels permitting.
When the season permits, go for a swim, fish, relax, float, kayak, 20' lily pad, or canoe. Lots of games and puzzles. Shop the boutiques of Osceola or enjoy the falls, downhill ski or adventure park at Trollhaugen, Check out Taylors Falls ferry or 'pothole' Interstate Park. Fisherman often cruise our lakes with a popular route past our dock.
1 king bed and with a master bath, 2nd upper bed has queen bed. 1st floor bedrooms 1 has a Queen bed other with a twin over full bunk bed . Full size Pull Out in basement (sorry but not too comfortable). Our living room sofa is often a hit as it can comfortably fit 4-7 sprawled out adults.
LOTS of local ordinances (Laws). Polk County restricts our sleeping accommodations to 8 persons max regardless of age (no exception) and the number of humans allowed on our premises. We maintain a zero tolerance for violations of any laws on our property, including laws put into effect after booking.
We are a nature friendly lot so excuse our exterior spiderwebs and non grass yard. We do routine exterior cleanings in the spring and a few times mid summer. We try to balance human presence with critters of nature. I spend a bit of time maintaining our sandy swimming area to minimize the weeds in an eco friendly manner.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Susan D
My family and I live in the Twin Cities. After renting a cabin on Big Lake from a family friend for the past 6 years, we did as most all of their renters have done, bought our 'cabin'. We had to figure out if we were lake people, well we are. We fell in love with our chain of 3 lakes, it just offered everything as proximity to the cities was an absolute spoiler and kinda a hidden secret. Really, it is a lake home but we like to call it our cabin. Our intent was to rent it because we are usually busy in the the cities but then Covid happened. After careful consideration, we have re-listed our lake home as we feel we can safely do so. As a ski family, an added perk is the proximity to Trollhaugen which is a local family run ski hill. Kids just did the rope course and loved it.
Why they chose this property
It is a hidden gem and being just one hour from the twin cities, give or take 5 to 15 minutes depending on which end. The lakes are just refreshing, with Church Pine getting an A+ rating, our lake blooms in August and is typically clear until then but still swimmable. Big enough to enjoy tubing or a cruise of the lakes in a Pontoon with the boat landing .3 miles walk on the main road but not as close via the lake. We love swimming and floating just off our shore. The mornings usually present with a glass lake ideal for a canoe or Kayak outing. Out and about surroundings offers so much adventure from Taylors Falls, Saint Croix and Osceola district offer much short outings. Trollhaugen has both summer and winter fun. Trollhaugen also offers night skiing and has a well established terrain park.
What makes this property unique
So close yet you feel like you are hours away from the cities. A busy day on the lake might mean a handful of speed boats with a constant circling of pontoons (be sure to wave at every boat) but nothing like what we see on more popular lakes. The place can easily sleep well over 8 but county ordinance allows only 8 max.
