Nestled in Clearwater Lake, this lovely cabin for $557 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Perfect setup for a week with the kids/grandkids! - THE LOCATION - The home is located about 1 hour from the western suburbs of the Twin Cities metro area. It is about 3 miles (10 min) north of Annandale, MN on Clearwater Lake. Annandale is a fabulous community that has everything you might need. It has a great grocery store, well stocked liquor store and pharmacy. It has an adorable downtown that hosts cute boutiques, an Ice Cream and candy store, souvenir shops, a bowling alley (for rainy days), a farmers market on the weekends in the summer and a few bars/restaurants. It is also home to the Spilled Grain brewery and the Wright County Swappers Meet. - THE INDOOR SPACE - Newly renovated, well appointed lake home sleeps 12 comfortably and has all of the modern conveniences to make your stay enjoyable. The main floor has an open floor plan with the kitchen open to the family and dining room areas. The kitchen has a huge island that provides a great space to prepare meals and to serve your crew. Equipped with a gas cooktop & oven, microwave and stainless steel refrigerator/freezer. A Blackstone griddle, gas grill and a large Big Green Egg lump charcoal grill provide plenty of cooking options for the chef of the group. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, glassware, silverware, pots, pans and pretty much any kitchen gadget you can think of. We love a great cup of coffee on the deck in the morning, so the kitchen is also equipped with a “Moccamaster” coffee maker. (not complicated, just great coffee) The dining room sits 8 comfortably with custom banquette seating. You can seat another 4 at the kitchen island. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main floor. One of the bathrooms is immediately off the kitchen, the other is more private and accessed through the “owners suite.” The walkout lower level has a smaller prep kitchen with a large refrigerator and freezer drawer. There is another family room/gathering area equipped with a giant sectional sofa and big screen TV. It also has a dart board, foosball table and an “Marval” arcade game. The lower level has two bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry room with new front load washer and dryer so you can keep all the swimming towels dry for their next use. - THE OUTDOOR SPACE - Outside the lower level sliding glass door, is a paver patio and covered seating area with a dining table, “high top” pub table, sofa and chairs. There is also a queen sized day bed with a retractable canopy to snuggle up on and read a book or is great for an afternoon nap. We have wired speakers under the deck so you can have some tunes going while playing yard games and hanging out by the lake. There is also an outdoor “smart” TV to stream whatever you might want to watch. (ball game, golf, watch a movie under the moonlight) The flat yard between the patio and the lake makes a great area to play "bags." (board and bags available for you to use) There is a solo stove campfire pit available for a small campfire lake side. The rental comes with the use of 2 Kayaks, a Paddle board and a Lily pad. If the kids are looking for more outdoor space to burn off energy, there is about a half acre of pretty flat land across the road that makes a great area to play ball. There is also a large fire pit on that side of the road if a bonfire is more your style. - ACTIVITIES - At 3,186 acres, Clearwater Lake is one of the largest lakes in the area and is great for fishing. There are two public boat launches on the lake and boat renting options in the area. There are a handful of golf courses close by. The most notable local favorites include: Whispering Pines Golf Course (7mi), Albion Ridges Golf Course (13mi) and Southbrook Golf Course (5mi)
