About this house rental
Cozy cottage style Lake House perfect for a relaxing weekend. Newly remodeled in 2016, this getaway offers an open kitchen with brand new appliances, a large jacuzzi style bathtub/shower with heated bathroom floor, large master bedroom with spectacular lake views, a hot tub, boat house deck, a "pub" style bar, 85" television, Pacman/Donkey Kong arcade machine and more. The Lake House is adjacent to a lovely city park with swing sets and picnic tables. There is also a boat landing next to the park for those who want to bring their water toys.
Great swimming with a Lillypad water mat, paddleboards and kayak. There is also a nice dock, but please note that it is shared with two other neighbors and is technically on park property, yet accessible from the park staircase adjacent to my yard. Although I rarely see the neighbors when I'm there, once and awhile they might use it to access their boat or the lake. This is one of those neighborhoods where people are friendly, hang out together, enjoy the lake and kids play ball in the streets. It's a lot of fun that way.
Another note about this house. It is not a dedicated VRBO property. That means it will have some of my things - such as clothes in the closet. There will be plenty of space for your own things and it will be as cleaned up and inviting as you should expect. But some people prefer to have their rentals empty, so I just want you to be aware that it will have a lived in feel. I'm doing this as a fun way to share my house. It will include dishes, utensils, plenty of cooking tools, bath towels, beach towels, laundry detergent and probably an extra bottle of beer or two.
My Lake House has been designed for easy living and getting away from it all. It's not a new property - in fact it used to be a bait shop decades ago, so it still has that old house/cabin charm and its own wonderful imperfections. But a great effort has been made to create a cozy, enjoyable getaway where family and friends will enjoy life at the lake, all year 'round.
Only 25 miles from downtown Minneapolis and only 5 minutes from charming downtown Loretto where you will find some great eats and treats.
MAXIMUM GUESTS - 8. MINIMUM AGE - 25 (excluding kids).

It was well appointed and very clean. Bed was very cozy. Downstairs very inviting. It always had the feeling you were in someone else's house though...and they were watching you.

The house is great - perfect for families with younger kids, as it has all these cool features (e.g. the clubhouse!) that the kids loved discovering. The location is great - right on the water, right next to a little playground, beautiful sunset views! And the owner is great - very communicative, helpful, and welcoming!! I would definitely recommend this and am even considering renting it again for my own family!

I was hosting family who was in town for my son’s 19th birthday. Due to Covid we were not able to truly celebrate his 18th nor his graduation, so we decided to go a bit extreme this year. The lake house was a great location, it was beautiful and so cozy. We had people coming in and out everyday and it was not an issue with the neighbors. We had a range of ages and everyone was able to be entertain, so overall great choice for us. The property manager was great! Great communication and so accommodating, we would definitely stay again.

Pretty much everything you want from a lake house rental. The home was well appointed and came with everything you'd ever need to make your stay enjoyable. The dock is nice and the water was clean, great for swimming. The back yard is phenomenal, ample room with plenty of space to hang out and gaze upon the lake. The deck above the boathouse is a nice space to lounge as well. The kitchen has everything you need for meal prep, the grills are nice and the home has every appliance and utensil you could ever want. The basement is comfy and the entertainment center is great for when you're not hanging outside. Ample sleeping space for everybody and plenty of room. The neighbors are nice and the house sits next to a little park, which was great to toss a frisbee around. The upstairs did get a little warm, so just get that AC running as soon as you check in. We had eight people total staying and everyone was comfortable and gave rave reviews. It is close to the cities and easy to get to. Arranging rides to Wayzata one night wasn't an issue over the weekend, so it is pretty much ideally situated just outside of the twin cities.Michael is a phenomenal host and was quick to respond to my messages. He was very gracious and a pleasure to work with. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and it was much appreciated. I can't think of a better location to relax with a small group of friends. I will absolutely be back and will be recommending this home to any friends that are looking for a beautiful place to stay that is close to the cities and right on a clean lake.You won't be disappointed!
