About this property

Located on a beautiful lake in central Minnesota, this log home is the perfect place to relax and enjoy lake life with family and friends. Just 75 minutes from Minneapolis and a few miles from St. John's University.

This four bedroom, two and a half bath home sleeps 10. The large custom kitchen has stainless steel appliances with granite countertops and everything you could need to entertain your family and friends. The eat in kitchen seats 8 with a connecting dining room with seating for 8. The main floor family room has a beautiful gas stone fireplace and stunning lake views with stairs leading up to a loft with a queen size bed. Additionally, the master bedroom is on the main floor with a king sized bed and french doors that open up to a wrap around porch. There is a full bath attached with dual sinks, shower and a clawfoot tub to relax after a long day! In 2020 we added a new screened in porch off the kitchen.

The lower level is a walk out with 3 bedrooms, a full bath and a large family room. Bedroom #2 has two twin beds, bedroom #3 has a queen pillow top bed. Bedroom #4 also has a pillow top queen bed with lake views.

The large sloping backyard leads to the water where guests can enjoy canoe rides, a paddle boat, paddle boards, and a fire pit. The dock extends well into the water, which is ideal for fishing and swimming in the shallow water.

With an open floor plan, unparalleled views of the lake, and beautiful outdoor spaces, this is a home that offers something for everyone. We hope that you will visit and create lasting memories just as our family has for so many years!

Wonderful

We enjoyed this beautiful home so much! Our two families had plenty of space to spread out. The screened in porch was amazing and provided a bug free place to eat outside! The lake was shallow and great for the kids to play. Becky was very easy to work with! Highly recommend this home!
