About this property
Renovated Modern Lake Front Oasis/ Dog Friendly w/ fenced in area
Nestled among the serene beauty of Forest Lake, this modern updated cabin is a haven for those seeking tranquility and comfort amidst nature's embrace. Surrounded by towering trees and the gentle lapping of the lake's waters, this cabin offers a seamless blend of contemporary luxury and rustic charm.
Whether seeking adventure or relaxation, this modern updated cabin offers the perfect escape for those yearning to reconnect with nature while indulging in the comforts of contemporary living.
Welcome to the Forest House, a single-level, fully furnished retreat nestled on the 2300 acres lake. This charming cabin offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating up to 10 guests in comfort and style. Each bedroom is meticulously appointed with new mattresses, quality bedding, ample outlets for device charging, and storage options like closets and drawers to ensure a restful stay.
**We do allow up to two dogs with a flat $100 pet fee, regardless of the length of stay or number of pets.**
◆ The Space ◆
Bedroom 1 indulges guests with a luxurious king-size bed, complemented by a full-size pullout sofa and an ensuite bathroom for added convenience. Bedroom 2 is perfect for families or groups, featuring a king-size bed with a twin trundle and twin bunk bed, providing versatile sleeping arrangements. Meanwhile, Bedroom 3 offers a cozy queen-size bed, ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure.
◆ Kitchen ◆
The well-appointed kitchen awaits your culinary creations, equipped with modern appliances and essential cookware. Alternatively, gather around the spacious dining room table, which seats 10 guests comfortably and is perfect for enjoying meals from the local dining options. The refrigerator offers ice and filtered water, while complimentary coffee, tea, and essential kitchen basics ensure a hassle-free stay.
◆ Living Room ◆
Relax and unwind in the inviting living room, featuring a generous 65-inch Smart TV and a comfortable couch, creating the perfect setting for cozy movie nights or catching up on your favorite shows. Guests are welcome to log in to their preferred streaming services on the Smart TV for entertainment at their fingertips.
◆ Outdoor/Patio ◆
Step outside and discover the enchanting outdoor space, boasting stunning landscaping and a large cement patio adorned with outdoor furniture for relaxation. Enjoy alfresco dining with the polywood dining set, or soak up the sun on one of the four loungers. Eight adirondack chairs encircle the fireplace, creating a cozy ambiance for gathering under the stars. Guests can also make use of the gas grill for outdoor cooking adventures (not available in winter months).
◆ Washer and Dryer ◆
For added convenience, a washer and dryer are provided, along with detergent, allowing guests to refresh their wardrobe as needed during their stay.
◆ The Lake ◆
While the lake may be weedy and shallow off our shoreline, it offers its own unique charm and opportunities for outdoor fun. Spend leisurely days building sand castles on the beach or casting your line off the dock for a relaxing fishing excursion.
For those looking to explore the lake further, renting a boat just down the road opens up a world of possibilities. Cruise along the tranquil waters, admire the scenic views, or find your secret fishing spot.
◆ Location ◆
Conveniently located just 2 miles from downtown Forest Lake, guests can easily explore the local shops, restaurants, and attractions. For a day trip, downtown St. Paul is only 27 miles away, while downtown Minneapolis is a mere 30 miles from the Forest House, offering endless opportunities for adventure and exploration
