Summary:
Summer: No check-in or out on Saturday or Tuesday.
Fish off the dock, Fire Pit with firewood supplied, Kids Camp, Kayaks
Northern Waters Lodge is a Spacious PRIVATE HOME located on nearly 2 acres with stunning views of Miller's Bay and Pipe Island on Leech lake. We have a dock with boat lift with 200' of Leech lake shoreline. You also get kayaks, a paddle board and fire pit with great swimming!
Please note: The fire pit and dock access include a steep lawn & stairs. Elderly guests may have difficulty walking down to the lake.

The main floor and deck have perhaps the best view on Leech lake!
Three bedrooms and 2 baths are on the upper level. The main floor includes 2 bedrooms and a 3rd bath. The lower level is setup as a kid's camp with 4 beds, sofa sleeper and a 4th bath.
The living areas are all generous with incredible views of the lake. There is a firepit near the lake plus kayaks and a paddle board for guest use.
The garage is available for fish cleaning and storage of your gear. Car parking is plentiful. Boat trailers need to be parked at the trailer parking for Trapper's Landing, 1 mile from the home.

The master suite (king bed), Lumberjack room (queen) & the kids camp on the lower level (2- twin, 2- full, 1- sofa sleeper) will be open for any group of 8 or less.
If your party consists of 9 – 14 we will open an additional bedroom for groups of 9-10; 2 additional bedrooms for groups of 11-12 and 3 additional bedrooms for groups of 13-14.

The Neighborhood:
Lake Harbor Estates is a private community of 20 homes, some with direct lake frontage and others with lake access. The roads are private and there are no through streets.
Getting Around:
There is parking for 2 cars at the garage and extra parking spaces off the driveway, above the garage. Boat trailers are not able to be parked on site due to the narrow driveway and limited space to turn a trailer around. We have offsite boat trailer parking 1 mile from the home.

Beautiful cabin with an even better view. We loved our stay! The property is just as described - note that the back yard is very steep and there isn't much room for any type of yard games, which was as expected. Loved the deck, kids area and all the space.
We enjoyed the view and the house was set up very well for our family. The kids loved the bean bag toss and kayaks. The evenings were perfect sitting around the fire!
The cabin was clean and ready for guests upon arrival. Lots of great amenities with lake access perfect for going out on the water. Would recommend to any medium sized to large group.
Beautiful home- amazing view! Plenty of room for large groups, very private. Great for adult groups- close to town which has several bars, restaurants, shops. Definitely recommend!

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
The listing made it seem amazing, not as listed. - Uncomfortable small beds, bedding and pillows - House cleaners left job undone. Lights left on. Vacuums still plugged in. Bathrooms weren’t finished being cleaned. - Oven does not work well, took cooking for a large group very long. - Dock is sketchy and crooked. We refused to allow the children in our group to even go on it. - Listing made it seem like the water was clean and swimmable off dock. It is nasty. Lily pad is slimy and disgusting - Sofa sleepers no longer in the rooms but listing not updated. Made it difficult for ours groups with small kids. Disappointing. - Lengthy check out list considering the high cleaning fee. I’ve never had to strip beds at a VRBO before. - Check in times were very late and check out was very early, especially considering laundry and dishes needed to be done. -Cabin is listed to sleep 10 people but there’s no where for 10 people to sit. Livings rooms had 1 tiny couch each. -“clean” dishes were filthy in the cabinets. -there was only 2 garbage bags for us to use -master bedroom doesn’t have window coverings, called for early wake up call Overall we were disappointed in our stay.

Kayley, I'm sorry you didn't have a better experience on your vacation. As we discussed at your arrival, I'm so sorry our housekeeper forgot her vacuum there and didn't get the bath mats put back in place. We offered to come back out the afternoon of your arrival to pickup the vacuum and take care of anything needed. You declined. I sent you a text the next morning asking for feedback on the housekeeping and any other issues that need to be addressed. I did not get a response from you, nor did I hear from you the rest of your stay. We inspected the dock after your departure and found it had been hit by a boat, knocking it out of alignment. If you would have notified us, we could have sent our dock service people to reset it while you were there. Perhaps you're not familiar with MN lakes, based on your comments (lily pad, etc). When it's windy out of the north, you can get weeds cloudy waters from the waves. As you know, our shoreline is rocky and not suitable for entering the lake. That's why we have a stair at the end of our dock which has a nice sand bottom, 2-3 feet deep, where our lily pad is located, and is ideal for swimming. We have seating for 12 on our deck, 6 on the porch and 6 in the greatroom. There is seating for 8 in the kitchen/dining area and we have an auxiliary table with another 6 folding chairs you can setup where needed. It takes 9 - 12 hours to properly setup between guests and a 10 am checkout and 4 pm check-in is the norm for a home of this size.
We had a great stay on Leech Lake. The cabin was perfect for our group of 14. The dock and water area is great the kids loved playing in the water. Rick was great to work with he was very responsive to all of our needs and questions. We will definitely be staying here again!

You were a great guest Joshua and how cool you were able to celebrate your daughter's birthday. Would love to host you again- thanks for staying at Northern Waters Lodge on Leech lake!
We really enjoyed our time on Leech Lake. The house was super clean, the kitchen very well stocked, and the view outstanding. The spaces work very well for a big group and the lake was wonderful. We loved the dock and the boat lift. We would go back!

We loved hosting your group Julie- glad you had fun. Come back soon!
Place was perfect for our group. We set up a fishing trip on Leech Lake with 12 guys. There was room for everyone and the place was very clean. It was nice to have extra towels, shower supplies, and all of the kitchen items. Would love to stay here agan.
Thanks,
Jake
This was a wonderful location for a joint family vacation. It was my family and my brother's family. We had kids ranging from 4-19. They loved it. We did too. Highly recommend. The place is beautiful and huge! We had lots of room to spread out, which is great for two families!

About the host
Hosted by Rick Storlie
My name is Rick Storlie and I operate Loon Lodge Vacation Cabins with homes on Leech Lake and Lake Superior. We've been providing short term rentals since 2005, hosting groups for well over 15,000 nights. We fell in love with Leech Lake and Walker because they have everything you could ask for in the quintessential northern Minnesota vacation.
Why they chose this property
Bay View on Leech Lake is one of the few vacation homes that can comfortably host up to 14 guests. The home has 4,200 finished square feet on 3 levels, including 2 main floor bedrooms for any guests that have trouble with stairs. The views of Leech Lake are breathtaking and it's proximity to great fishing, dining (The Merit restaurant is only a mile from the home) and the town of Walker are second to none.
The home sits on a wooded lot just under 2 acres. It's very private with great outdoor spaces as well as indoor spaces, especially for kids.
What makes this property unique
If you want to stay in one home with a bunch of friends or extended family, Bay View on Leech Lake is the perfect spot. All the bedrooms are ample and each floor has a least 1 bathroom. The living areas make it easy for a large group to congregate or there are spaces for small groups to have privacy. You won't be disappointed!
