About this property

Our lake house is on the lovely Minerva Lakes Chain and comfortably holds 6 people.
This completely remodeled 4-season lake home is equipped with air conditioning for those warmer days and heating when the temperatures dip. This is a beautiful getaway less than two hours from the Twin cities. New kitchen, bathroom, lower level carpet, and all new interior painting makes this an idyllic escape. With designer touches you can slow down while experiencing the luxuries of comfortable furnishings and bedding. Located on 3.2 acres this property offers lots of privacy. Lake Minerva has a sandy bottom and is clear. Our pontoon is not available for rent or use. Local pontoon rentals are limited, however we've previously worked with Mary at Boondocks Marine out of Webster. Note that there is not marina or landing on Minerva Lake (where the cabin is located) however there is a boat landing and connecting waterway from Falk Lake/Love Lake which will get you back to Minerva Lake. Space to dock the boat is also limited, therefore we do not encourage bringing a boat. We have received feedback from our guests that they have enjoyed exploring the lake on the kayaks and paddleboards that we provide.

There are wonderful paved rustic roads that are ideal for biking and walking. Forts Folle is within a 10 minute drive. There are fun antique shops in Danbury, Webster and Siren.

The Perfect Lake Escape

We absolutely loved our time here. The home has been meticulously and stylishly updated and everything you needed was available, including beach towels aplenty, mosquito spray, sunscreen, extra bedding, tons of pillows, and a vintage PacMan machine. Having access to paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, fishing poles, life vests of all sizes, etc. really made our stay extra special. Lake access really was as advertised, with clear sandy beach right off the shore. We will absolutely be back!

Beautiful cabin and location!

The cabin is exactly like it is described and shown in the photos. Our daughters loved hanging out in the lake, swimming and using the paddle boards that are included. There is a nice sandy shallow area when you first get in. The cabin is spacious and has everything you need. One upgrade not shown in the photos is a smart tv in the basement. We don’t watch much tv but it was nice to be able to turn on a show or movie before we went to bed. The beds are decent, and the kitchen, bathroom, and living areas are very nice. Good communication with the owners. It was a great place to spend a week!

Our Annual Getaway Spot

This is our third year coming here to visit family. The cabin is always immaculate and the owners are excellent communicators. This year we had three generations ranging from 20-76 years old. Kayaking in the morning as I listen to the loons is my favorite alone time followed by a fire, storytelling, and boad games at night.

Quiet perfection

From the moment we pulled up, it was perfect. The location makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. But the reality is you are only five minutes drive to grocery store or a few bars. The place is stocked with everything you need for fun, inside or outside. Paddle boards, canoe, games, books, every kitchen utensil you need for a feast. Endless places to read, inside and out. Beach towels, soft bedding and the best up north cabin style. Easiest checkout. Great communication. Everything was top notch.

About the host

Hosted by Fritz Westphal

Fritz and Brenda Westphal live in Minneapolis MN with their 2 daughters. They enjoy travel and adventure outdoors as a family. When traveling they often stay in VRBO homes and are now excited to offer their lovely cabin for others to enjoy. Fritz has build a wonderful reputation as a Senior Project Manager in the high end custom home sector while Brenda owns 3 interior design showrooms in Minneapolis. Together they combined their passions when renovating their dream cabin.

Why they chose this property

This property appealed to them for the following reasons, quiet yet interesting chain of lakes, located on a 3.2 acres rolling wooded lot providing lots of privacy, sandy bottom lake, and within a two hour drive from their home in Minneapolis.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is equally fun in the winter as it is in the summer. In the summer the lake is a great swimming lake and great care is taken to keep the shore weed free. It is a great lake for swimming and fishing. In the winter, cozy fires and hot cocoa after a long day of snowshoeing and skating are enjoyed.
