Sullivan Lake Chalet - Free Pontoon, Outdoor Sauna and Hot Tub included!

A peaceful retreat for multi-generational families or small groups of friends to spend quality time together. A beautiful large 20 foot pontoon with a 25 HP four stroke Mercury outboard motor with tilt and trim, a fishing boat with trolling motor, and 2 kayaks are for guest use seasonally at no additional charge! Note: 20 Foot Pontoon is designed for cruising, fishing, and swimming. It is NOT rigged for tubing or skiing.
This 100-acre private lake has NO PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ACCESS and is deep with up to 42' of water and 2 miles of natural shoreline. GUESTS CAN USE AT NO CHARGE, our 20' pontoon boat, 14' fishing boat with electric trolling motor and 2 kayaks THIS INCLUDES THE GAS! Coast Guard approved life vests are provided in all sizes. Explore the lake/woods, gravel roads and biking! While there is no sandy beach, a wonderful public, sandy swimming beach is a short drive away on Pelican Lake with clear, shallow water for blocks out into the lake. We do have a swimming platform anchored in 25' of water (no weeds!) out from the dock and 2 kiddie pools for toddlers, and the rear of the pontoon boat is also equipped with a pull down swimming ladder so swimming from the pontoon is also a breeze.
Notes: Swimming dock brought in mid to late September. Pontoon, dock, kayaks, and fishing boat brought in late October. WINTER:Fire pit, fire pit furniture, Gas Grill, and deck furniture not available winter season starting November 1st. Weber charcoal grill will be available on deck - bring your own lighter fluid and charcoal. Snow Removal - Driveway is plowed and sidewalk shoveled by snow removal contractor if over 2 inch snowfall. Deck and hot tub cover snow clearing may be tenant responsibility, depending on snowfall timing. Simply push snow off front of deck with shovel or brooms provided (no lifting required) Use broom only to push snow off hot tub cover and not shovel as shovel will tear the $800 cover and I do not want to charge you back for that.
A beautiful, AIR CONDITIONED, CHALET LAKE HOME awaits your visit to the Brainerd Lakes Area. It is situated near Aitkin, MN on Sullivan Lake just over 2 hours North of the Twin Cities. The home has 1,900 finished square feet on three levels, a 22' vaulted ceiling of knotty pine, and three stories of windows overlooking the large deck and lake. The home is very private, wooded and without nearby neighbors. Take a look at the aerial video of the property here on the VRBO site.
The home sleeps 10 in beds with 2 private bedrooms plus a dormitory-style sleeping loft. With the amenities of home-- a washer and dryer, bedding and towels, a kitchen fully stocked with cookware and dishes, a microwave and 2 TV’s and Blue Ray players, and a gas grill outside on the deck. Note: Gas Grill and deck furniture not available winter season. Weber Charcoal grill is available in winter.
The home is equipped with 250kbps high speed fiber internet for fast browsing and streaming speeds for both TV’s and your devices.
Yard games include bocce ball, croquet, ladder golf, jarts and horseshoes. There are board games, puzzles, and 2 Blue Ray players for rainy days. Use your Netflix - - -Hulu - Yahoo account to quickly stream content or bring your favorite DVD’s. Enjoy the surrounding woods and yard, bask in the sun or read on the large deck overlooking the lake, relax on the dock bench, or sun and swim from the pontoon or the 8'X8' swimming platform anchored out front of dock in 25’ of water. Golf at one of the many courses around, or spend an evening at the Mille Lacs Casino just 30 minutes away. Additionally, the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area is a few miles down the road in Crosby, MN. There you’ll find miles of the best mountain biking and hiking in MN, as well as a beautiful public swimming beach on Serpent Lake. Shopping, restaurants and other recreation are close by in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Fall is also a great time to visit us with still warm days and crisp autumn nights. Minnesota's fall colors are second to none. New for this year, I’m opening the place for winter rental as well due to requests. Enjoy skiing and all the nearby snowmobile trails.
Whatever the season, let us be your Family Vacation Destination!
A security system is installed on the exterior of the property for your safety and security. It includes five cameras located over the parking/fire pit area, down the driveway, behind the house, by the deck, and by the dock. There are no cameras in the house.

Wonderful cabin and location! Dave was a fantastic host. Loved having the pontoon boat available. Boat instructions were perfect and easy to follow. Caught bass, perch, bluegill and crappie. Weather was cooler than expected, so fire pit was enjoyed! Check out the Block North Brewery and Restaurant. We considered it a bonus find on our trip. Awesome food, beer and extensive menu. A must do in Aitkin! Highly recommend Sullivan Lake Chalet!

We really enjoyed our weekend at Dave's place. The location was very quiet and mostly just heard birds, and having the pontoon available to use was great. The house was clean and was very well stocked with everything we needed. Would stay here again

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This was a great cabin for a short weekend getaway from the Twin Cities. A quiet cabin off the lake, we saw deer and lots of birds. We heard moose and other animals across lake. The sunrise over the lake was beautiful. The owner Dave was highly responsive and super friendly. Highly recommend this place for your next getaway!

Wonderful place and fun fishing

The place was great. Had everything you needed. My son loves to fish so we spent a lot of time on the pontoon. We caught a ton of fish, and kept 10 for a meal. A limetless supply of 7-10in Perch, smaller Bass, Bullhead, and a few nice Sunfish. The house is secluded and peaceful, and we only saw 2 other boats on the lake during our entire stay.

Quiet Thanksgiving Get-away

Was familiar with the area as owned hunting land just north of Ross Lake for 13 years. Did not know about this quiet little lake. Very well-maintained, well-equipped year-round cabin / home. Was especially cold during our stay, but cabin heated up very nicely. Lake maybe not visible during summer months as per other reviews, but great view in the winter! Great location from which to head to Crosby, Cross Lake, Emily & Outing. The kitchen was well equipped for our meal preparation. A very enjoyable trip.

Great get away

The cabin was exactly as advertised in the opportunity do use. The pontoon was a pretty fantastic thing. Just love being out water for a spin around the lake or to drop a few lines and catch some fish. Appreciated the space, quietness and the owners timely response on any questions we had. Our family enjoyed the time we had here it would definitely recommend it.

Great Rental

This was a great rental. The cabin has lots of space, the lake is a bit weedy by the dock but we took the pontoon out and swam/floated in the lake. The swimming platform was so fun for the kids to jump off of. The best well stocked rental we have EVER stayed in. Extra towels, bedding, kitchen was amazing. Very private yet not too far from town if you needed anything. Dave was a great host, provided all information needed and ideas of what to do in the area as well.

A great value in a peaceful spot

The property is as advertised on a very quite lake. We really enjoyed the pontoon boat watching the wildlife with pelicans, swans, and loons adding to the wooded beauty with no other boats. Fishing was mostly perch and catfish along with one Northern. A wet spring made the mosquitoes challenging but all the more reason to be on the boat in the lake with a breeze. Beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked. Definitely a great spot not far from the Twin Cities.

Great remote getaway

Took a family trip with my wife, father, sister and kids. The property worked great for what we needed and given when we booked it. If I had any critiques it would be the distance from town and other attractions (although this was very clearly communicated upfront), And the lake was quite small but the pontoon was a great amenity and ultimately the selling point. Very clean and great communication with the owner. Would recommend for sure
