About this property

This Lake home is the perfect getaway in the city. If you're looking to be close to everything, but still have a private escape, then this is it.

This home is set on nine wooded acres with lots of privacy. It has beautiful views of the lake, pond, wetlands, and abundant wildlife. Quick freeway access and just minutes to both downtown Minneapolis (15 min) and St. Paul (10 min). It is literally a one of a kind property. This warm and inviting home is perfect to play or rest.

Five Bedrooms, three bathrooms, a beautifully appointed kitchen, and open living room and dining area make this home excellent for large groups or multiple families. The yard is large enough for endless games and activities. The deck has lots of seating to enjoy a beverage and the view. And two outdoor fire pits to enjoy on a cool night. Inside, cozy up to watch a movie by the fireplace on cool summer nights or snowy winter days.

In the summer, enjoy swimming and playing in the lake. The large permanent dock is perfect for swimming or catching panfish off of. Enjoy Paddleboards or the paddleboat. Or bring your boat and enjoy the chain of (4) St. Paul lakes. In the winter, ice skating, snowshoeing, and ice fishing are all popular on the lake.

Everyone is welcome in this home -- it's where others find rest, peace, relaxation, fun and a place to bring their loved ones.

We are not currently hosting weddings at our home.
Note to renters interested in hosting larger groups (groom's dinners, etc): Based on past unfortunate experiences, we have a slightly higher rate for big groups. We also require rental of a portable toilet (less than $200 in our area) for the day of the event. Feel free to inquire with any questions.

Family getaway

This is the ideal place to stay if you and your kids love to fish and swim. The owner was always available to answer any questions and very prompt. The house is amazing and large enough for lots of people to stay and not feel cramped. My grandkids didn't want to leave. It is so close to shopping and grocery stores. I would highly recommend staying here.

Memories that won’t be soon forgotten!!!

Quote from our son “I just have to say that I've never had a better family vacay than this last week. You all made it so memorable and enjoyable, thank you Dad and Mom for coordinating. The girls have been talking nonstop about the trip since we have been home “. Thanks to Skip and family for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Best vacation

We had an amazing time. Skip was fantastic to work with and made the whole process a breeze. Their home is beautiful and the property was so well kept. There are so many communal and private spaces that it works for everyone. You are so close to everything you want from the cities but feel like you are on your own private piece of northern MN. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay with my friends.
