The Rusty Anchor â Lake Home + Guest House â
Sleeps 16 | Private Beach | Year-Round Fishing Paradise on Big Stone Lake
Two Complete Homes, One Unforgettable Experience
Welcome to The Rusty Anchor, where you get exceptional value with both a fully equipped lake home AND charming guest house - each featuring its own kitchen, laundry, and all the comforts of home. Step out your door onto your private beach on stunning Big Stone Lake, Minnesota's premier 12,610-acre border water stretching 26 miles between Minnesota and South Dakota.
The Ultimate Anglerâs Retreat â Fish 365 Days a Year
Thanks to Big Stone Lakeâs unique status as a border water, thereâs no closed season â you can fish here every day of the year. While most Minnesota lakes have strict seasonal limits, Big Stone offers year-round access and more generous catch limits than nearly anywhere else.
Walleye & Sauger: 4 fish year-round (1 over 20") - restocked with 7 million fry every two years
Northern Pike: 6 fish continuously, plus winter spearing season
Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, Perch and 30+ other species with extended seasons
12 public fishing accesses plus your private dock access
Whether casting from shore, trolling by boat, or ice fishing through winter, Big Stone Lake delivers trophy fishing that keeps anglers coming back season after season.

Why The Rusty Anchor Stands Out
Located in charming Ortonville, MN, you get the best of both worlds: peaceful lakefront serenity with easy access to dining, entertainment, and recreation. The border water location means extended fishing seasons you won't find elsewhere, while two complete homes ensure everyone has space to spread out and enjoy their perfect lake getaway.
Book The Rusty Anchor and discover Minnesota's best-kept secret for the ultimate lakefront experience - where exceptional fishing meets comfortable luxury on beautiful Big Stone Lake.
Available year-round | Sleeps 16 | Private beach & dock | Ask about discounts for stays of 5+ days | Unforgettable memories await

Om vÀrden
Andy Willenbring Àr vÀrd
Andy grew up in White Bear Lake, MN and attended Minnesota State University, Mankato. After graduating he became a volunteer fire fighter in Maple Grove, MN, and his passion for fire fighting became his full-time career as a fire fighter in St. Louis Park, MN. He was recently promoted to Lieutenant. Andy's husband, Nick, grew up in Springfield, MN and graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato with a degree in K-12 education. He is currently working in Special Education. We recently sold our Wisconsin cabin to buy a cabin in Ortonville to be closer to family. We love hosting vacations through VRBO, and like to continually add more amenities and updates to our Lake Home and Guest Cottage to make sure our guests are highly satisfied! At the cabin, our 3 children love boating, swimming, fishing and searching for other living creatures in and out of the water. They also love to make S'mores and to dance around the campfire.
