Lake, Boat, Hot Tub, Sauna, Private Chef
Welcome to our expansive lakefront retreat! Its sandy, clear beachfront is the perfect destination for families, friends, and large groups. The home features 5 bedrooms, plenty of beds and sleeping areas, breathtaking views of the lake, a sauna, and a hot tub.
We have fishing gear, a pontoon for rent ($300/day), volleyball, cross-net, badminton, cornhole, beach swimming, and endless outdoor activities.
The fully equipped kitchen is ideal for gatherings for friends and family.

There are two king bedrooms, one queen bedroom, and two bunk rooms (the first has two full bunk beds and a twin bunk bed and the second has two full bunk beds). There are 12 beds plus a fold-down bed and two queen air mattresses at the home.
We also have a private chef who can offer in-home premium experiences — either indoors or outdoors.

This is the perfect way to gather around the table with friends and family.

We had the best time staying here. The house is amazing, the location is great, and the views and access to the lake cannot be beaten! I highly recommend this stay.
Two families stayed here, 9 kids ages 10-26. Had an absolute blast, lots of fun family things to do and some great gathering areas in the home. It was a winter stay and the kids even had fun sliding down the hill in the back! Looking forward to staying in the summer or fall sometime!
The house was perfect! Our neighborhood book club did a weekend away. There was plenty of space to sleep, eat and hang out. The hot tub and sauna were great additions especially during a winter weekend. Would definitely recommend and bet it would be wonderful in the summer as well!
This property comfortable hosted a large group of 20. It was very clean and well stocked for a large group. The hot tub and sauna were in working order and well cared for. We had a wonderful experience!
We had a beautiful stay in this gorgeous home. The view of the was wonderful. The hot tub seemed new and worked well. The house was so comfortable and nice. I would use this house again if I had a large gathering.
Such a beautiful property. Great amenities. Tons of space. We had 15 people in our party and most had their own beds. Beautiful beach. Close to restaurants and shops. Will definitely be back. Flexibility with early check in if requested. Very accommodating. Thank you!!
We gathered our kids & grandkids for Christmas
The house was decorated & very festive
There were 15 of us with amazing space to sleep, eat or gather. It’s a beautiful spot to enjoy the views without any snow — with the decks & windows making possible — it would be a great home to rent in any season - it was quiet, rustic yet close to anything we needed while we stayed
We stayed for a long weekend with our five children (ages 9 to 5 months) and two other families. The house has great spaces for multiple families and the lake access is awesome. Anything you might need to buy is close by. A few of the appliances were not in great shape but overall we would come back! Thank you for sharing your home.
This is the second time our group of 13 has stayed at this beautiful lake home. I'm sure in summer it's a gas, but this home is also wonderful in the winter. Sauna, hot tub, and plenty of space! Not only is the home very clean, and comfortable, but it was very easy. Everything went as planned and predicted, everything was timely as promised. Megan, the property manager, is great hostess and easy to work with/communicate with. She is very responsive and kind. We enjoyed ourselves so much in 2024, we came back in 2025. That says a lot! Thanks for making our group feel at home.
Pros:
- SO much space! We had 4 families and no one felt like we were on top of each other
- Two very large tables, so we could eat at one and have puzzles on the other
- Tons of shade and soft grass
- Plenty of outdoor seating with chairs light enough to move around
- Plenty of swim towels and railings
- Cozy kids play area with toys
- Hot tub! Although too buggy to use after sunset
- Crystal clear lake water, remarkably soft sand and no seaweed
- Awesome watercraft and sand toys
- Plenty of dishes and silverware
- Plenty of parking
Cons:
- Quite the hill down to the lake! We were a bit out of breath every time we had to "climb" back to the house. Plus that net is a tripping hazard
- Conclave of bees in the flowers down by the lake. We did not realize it and someone got stung on the foot as she tried to step over the flowers into the water.
- The dining room chairs were not meant for anyone over a women's size 14, since the backs curl in on the sides to cut into your hips. Luckily we could drag in kitchen table chairs, but it's embarrassing and uncomfortable.
- Despite a hefty cleaning rate, we were still expected to strip our linens, start laundry, wash/dry/AND put away dishes, and drag trash down a super long driveway. Hosts should have to pick one or the other.
Despite cons, we would go back again. It was wonderful to have such a large space with such wonderful lake access.
We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas as a family. We enjoyed the hot tub and the large tables and larger living spaces together.Was clean besides a weird smell in one of the closets and some food that we found on the back porch.
It was a perfect house for us There were 17 of us. We ranged from 87 down to 6 months. All 4 generations were there for 3 nights They fished, played in the lake, used the hot tub, and played cornhole. So much fun for all generations.
This property was a great place to host a family vacation! It comfortably slept 8 adults and 5 children, very spacious and clean. We all enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboards and volleyball in the water. Corn hole, the hot tub and cards were favorite evening activities! One downside, I was expecting a sandy beach for the children to play on, but grass had grown over it. However, the water was shallow enough for them to dig in the sand there...so it all worked out. Some also went to Mall of America one day! Would definitely consider renting again.
