Lakefront Retreat, Private Dock, Sauna & Accessible King Suite, Step-Free Entry

I believe an exceptional stay is created through thoughtful preparation, genuine hospitality and attention to the details that make guests feel cared for. I do not view hosting as simply providing a furnished house. My goal is to offer the comfort, consistency and personal touches of a premium hotel while preserving the privacy and freedom of a lakefront home.

Before every arrival, the property is carefully prepared and stocked for a comfortable stay. Guests are welcomed with refreshments, a generously equipped kitchen, quality bedding and practical amenities intended to make travel easier. I am available through Vrbo messaging to answer questions, assist with accessibility planning and help guests make the most of their time at the property.

I respect my guests’ privacy, but I am never far away when assistance is needed. My goal is for every guest to leave feeling that the home was prepared especially for them.

I chose this location because it offers a rare balance: a peaceful lakefront setting with convenient access to the Minneapolis area. The home feels removed from the pace of the city, yet shopping, restaurants and Highway 100 are close by.

What I enjoy most is the changing character of the lake throughout the day. Mornings are calm and reflective, afternoons invite guests onto the water, and evenings bring beautiful sunsets from the furnished deck. The private dock, kayaks and pedal boat make the lake part of the stay rather than simply a view from the window.

Downtown Minneapolis, Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, and the Mall of America are all within driving distance, making the property well-suited for family holidays, group visits, special occasions, and relaxed escapes near the Twin Cities.

What makes this property distinctive is the rare combination of a genuine lakefront experience, thoughtfully designed main-level accessibility and premium hospitality under one roof.

Guests can paddle directly from the private dock, explore the lake with two kayaks and a pedal boat, enjoy dinner on the furnished deck and watch the sunset settle across the water. Indoors, an infrared sauna offers a relaxing finish to the day. Four private bedrooms accommodate up to eight guests, and three of the bedrooms enjoy lake views.

The main level is especially well suited to multigenerational groups and guests with mobility needs. A permanent entrance ramp, step-free entry and wide pathways lead to two main-level bedrooms. The primary king suite includes a private bathroom with a 36-inch doorway, grab bars and a completely flush walk-in shower. Multiple bathrooms and the essential living spaces are also located on this level.

The home is generously stocked rather than minimally furnished. Guests enjoy a well-equipped kitchen, quality bedding, welcome refreshments, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, outdoor furniture and a grill. Every stay is prepared with the comfort, care and attention guests would expect from a premium hotel, paired with the privacy and freedom of an entire lakefront home.
