About this property

The Lake House is a beautiful, clean, 2100 square foot home on the North Shore of West Twin Lake, an all-sports lake with clear water, sandy bottom, and a gradual entry from the shoreline that is not deeper than 3-4 feet for a significant distance. This is a lake perfect for younger swimmers and advanced tubers or water skiers, as well as a great spot to fish. Fish in the lake include walleye, pike, perch, bass, and sunfish. A private dock with tie-off anchors is provided for your jet skis or boat. A paddle boat, kayaks, and paddle boards are provided for all guests. Pontoon rentals are available from a nearby marina.
The North Shore provides the best views of every sunrise and sunset! West Twin Lake, at over 1300 acres, is the largest-and the best!-of the Twin Lakes in Lewiston.
Whether you enjoy your morning coffee on the lakefront deck and listen to the loons call, or make s’mores in the fire pit while stargazing, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful family vacation. This home boasts 100 feet of lakefront on a private 1.35 acre lot. The original cottage was built in 1945 with knotty pine ceilings and log walls, with a 1991 update and lakefront addition that includes a great room with cathedral ceilings, fireplace, and expansive floor to ceiling windows. The master bedroom suite also provides a gorgeous lakefront view, and has a private master bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. New furniture this year includes the great room sectional sleeper, a full sized sleeper sofa in the reading nook, king bed, dining table with bench, and a game table.
This home is equipped with everything a family will need to make memories on the lake! The spacious lawn is open for kids to play, or just to run right into the water!
Lewiston is minutes away with shopping and restaurants, and it is only a short drive to golf in nearby Gaylord or Garland Resort,
This home can be booked for weekends May-Father's Day and after Labor Day, with a week's stay required from mid-June until Labor Day. Please inquire if interested in booking just a long weekend starting with Labor Day through the winter and spring season.

Home Away From Home!!

I’m embarrassed of my handwriting after reading all of those nice messages in the guest book so I’ll type mine lol… we were so impressed w the accommodations and how comfy and clean this home is. Definitely agree w everyone that this feels like a home away from home. We just bought property in Lewiston and wanted to stay for a long weekend and check out the area more, and very happy with our new “neighbors” Would love to experience this lake house in the summer! Thank you so much!

Wonderful Fall location

Very nice place with everything you need for a nice stay on the lake. Firewood and some water toys included. The master bedroom is a wonderful location to wake up and enjoy the beautify view of the lake. Great beach for little ones because it is very shallow for a long distance out from shoreline (like a splash pool). Great communication from the owner.

About the host

My husband and I grew up going to West Twin on family vacations. Our kids know and love Lewiston! We hope you will grow to love this "Hidden Gem" of a lake as well. West Twin is the Best Twin!

Why they chose this property

This home is unique in that it has the old knotty pine logs and cottage feel, with a modern great room and master suite. Guests truly will have the best of both worlds!
