Escape to a place where the day begins with the call of Loons and ends beside a crackling fire under a thousand stars. Loon Island Lodge is a spacious four-bedroom lake home on beautiful Long Lake — a place where families reconnect, laughter carries across the water, and time slows down in the best possible way.
Every room in this home feels connected to nature. The open floor plan blends a kitchen that’s ready for everything from pancakes to lake-day picnics, a dining area set beside a dramatic wall of two-story windows overlooking the lake, and an inviting living room framed in knotty pine. From sunrise coffee to sunset dinners, it’s all about the lake here.
Step through the patio doors to the expansive, south-facing deck, where sunshine spills across the resort-style lounge seating and dining area. Fire up the grill, watch the waves lap the shore, or simply stretch out in the shade beneath the large peaked overhang. You’ll feel the pull to stay outside just a little longer.
The main level offers two inviting bedrooms, detailed with thoughtful touches that make guests feel instantly at home.
The walkout lower level is made for family fun — movie marathons, puzzles on rainy days, and games that last long past bedtime. There’s another large lakeside bedroom here, plus a full laundry for convenience. Step outside to the shaded patio, perfect for reading or escaping the midday sun.
Upstairs, the Loons’ Nest Loft Suite feels like a world of its own. A king bed, private en suite, fireside lounging area, and panoramic lake views create a quiet retreat for parents, couples, or anyone needing a moment of peace.
A spacious yard leads to the sandy beach, where kids can wade, swim, and build sandcastles while adults unwind nearby. Because the property wraps around its own point, there’s a calm bay that’s perfect for paddling or casting a fishing line right from shore. Across the water, picturesque Loon Island lives up to its name — home to the fascinating birds whose calls echo over the waves.
When evening settles in, gather around the lakeside fire pit and watch the stars appear one by one. Or step inside to enjoy the home’s large cedar sauna, big enough for a full crew after a day outdoors. From there, open the walkout door and dash straight into the lake for a refreshing plunge — a true Minnesota tradition that leaves you glowing.
Set off the main road and tucked into a quiet stretch of shoreline, Loon Island Lodge feels wonderfully removed from the rush of everyday life. Take a morning walk along the winding road along the lake. It’s the kind of peace that fills you up without even trying.
Each season brings its own version of magic:
Summer: long lake days, sandy feet, fishing and sunset cruises.
Fall: glowing maples and crisp evenings by the fire.
Winter: snowmobiling, ice fishing, Nordic skiing, and sauna warmth.
Spring: the return of loons, bald eagles, biking and quiet mornings on the porch.
Nestled near Longville and Hackensack, you’ll find plenty to do nearby — from Turtle Races and ice cream in town to biking the Paul Bunyan Trail or exploring local shops and cafés.
With three levels of lake views, open-concept living, and details that make every stay effortless, Loon Island Lodge isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to exhale. Wide-open skies, gentle waves, the laughter of family, and the peace that only the North can offer — it’s all here waiting for you.
This is more than a getaway. It’s pure Minnesota magic.
