ATV Paradise! + FISHING, SNOWMOBILING, SKIING

Escape to this oasis in the heart of Itasca County Lake Country on ATV and Snowmobile Trails!

This Lodge and Cabin are tucked down scenic country roads between two lakes. Watch the wildlife walk past from the comfort of the porches or decks; or snuggle up inside to take advantage of views of the lake and all manner of wildlife through the wide windows.

Cell service is limited but we have excellent Wi-Fi for just the right amount of connection.

LAKE INFORMATION
Our dock is located on Little East Lake (we do NOT have direct access to East Lake) which is classified as a Natural Environment Lake by the MN DNR. This means that it provides a fantastic habitat for a multitude of native plants and animals but it can also be subject to low water levels and abundant plant growth which can dramatically impact its suitability for human use. When the water is high enough the lake is wonderful for paddling but not for motorized boats - especially on our end of the lake. And while the ducks, geese and fish (and some of our canine guests) LOVE swimming in it, we do not have a spot for people to swim. We hope that you can appreciate and delight in the majestic show that this lake puts on for us each year as much as we do!

● We love having your entire group stay including the kids so please be be aware of safety around the lake as well as some cleaning supplies under each of the sinks & in the closet across from the laundry room
● Please be sure to review all house rules when booking!
● Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions about the area or for more info! We are here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible!
Please let me know if there is anything you need. It is my goal that this space be an escape and retreat for you however I am available at all times for emergencies and during standard hours to answer and resolve any non-emergency issues.

It is extremely helpful to have good contact information available for a member of your party in the event I need to contact you due to issue resolution etc. As the cell service at the Lodge is limited I will do my best to notify you ahead of time if we need to be on site for any reason but please understand that may not be possible. We will keep any disruptions to an absolute minimum.

We have cameras monitoring the front entry area and yard for the security of our guests and our property
● The Escape is located in a peaceful & quiet lake community.
● All guests staying at the Escape must be considerate of others in the neighboring area. Noise disturbances will not be tolerated.(quiet hours are between 10pm-7am).
**Please be conscientious of giving our neighbors their space. They have marked their property lines with no trespassing signs, if you have any questions about this please reach out immediately. Our lake access is just east of the Lodge, the lake behind the cabin is not accessible to our guests, that shoreline is private property. Thank-you!
● Be considerate of the shared roadways and private driveway between the Escape and the trails. Refrain from driving that could cause damage to the roads.
**If damage is discovered additional fees will be assessed
