About this property

Round Lake - Beautiful Views - Small Mouth/Walleye Fishing!

This lovely 1500+ sq. ft. Lake Home is near Garrison MN on Round Lake (in the Brainerd Lakes Area), just a short 1-1/2 hour trip from the Twin Cities. Minutes from a boat landing on Mille Lacs Lake.

This is the place to bring your family and friends for a relaxing time. This 1500+ sq ft house with three private bedrooms; it has 2 full bathrooms (one being off the master bedroom). You have all the comfort of home. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, utensils, dishes and small appliances. There is a full size refrigerator with large top freezer, stove, oven, and of course a microwave oven for late night popcorn, while watching your favorite DVD/VHS movie on the TV or your other favorite TV programs. Bed linens and bath towels are provided. Be sure to pack your favorite beach towel!

This Lake Home Retreat is your dream vacation on a great quiet lake with sandy beach and beautiful clear water. The lake is great for all activities - fishing, boating, swimming, skiing, canoeing, tubing, or just relaxing. It has great swimming for children with a shallow sandy beach with gradual depth. Provided for your enjoyment: canoe, bocce ball, ladder ball, croquet, board games, cards as well as a DVD/VCR for rainy days plus Dish Network to enjoy your favorite sports or shows! Relax by the lakeside fire pit and watch the beautiful sunsets over the lake. Maybe enjoy golf at one of the many courses nearby (Rutgers Bay Lake, Cuyuna Country Club, Mille Lacs Lake Golf to name a few of the courses), or how about an evening at the Casino just 7 miles away, or shopping, great eating and recreation in the Brainerd Lakes Area. For the kids, or kid in you; how about Paul Bunyan Amusement park just 10 minutes away or mini golf in nearby Deerwood. Maybe curling up with your latest favorite book, or playing board games or cards is your style. Enjoy your favorite grilled food on the large deck with the Weber grill, but remember your charcoal and lighter fluid!

If fishing is your pleasure - you will enjoy trying to catch maybe a resident northern, walleye, bass, or pan fish or just some great sun! Round Lake is about 1000 acres and up to 128 ft deep in the middle. Remember to pack your favorite lures and poles, and don’t forget your life jackets!

You, your family and/or friends will create some of those memories you will cherish for years to come. Don’t forget your camera. No guns, please.

All the positive remarks from previous reviews are true, including Karen & Doug's attentiveness to guests, great communication about weather fronts in the area, etc. It is so spacious, including two full bathrooms. Loved the decks! The waterfront with a truly sandy beach was a highlight for our three grandchildren, ages 10-14. We liked it so much we reserved the same week next year.

Relaxing Family Time at the Lake

This was an amazing property for our family! With great outdoor spaces, plus comfortable family rooms for those rainy days, the four adults in our group had plenty of space to relax and connect. The owners answered every question we had and ensured we had a great stay. It’s clear why so many families (including ours) return year after year!

Cozy cabin, perfect beach!

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Four of us stayed here - four adults and one toddler and the size was just right. The shallow, clear,sandy beach is perfect and a standout feature for us. We also loved the big beautiful deck, bonfire area, and lawn. The kitchen and home are well stocked with everything we needed (i.e. Cooking utensils, etc). The cabin overall is well taken care of and clean, and the owners are super thoughtful, professional, and considerate. We would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Karen McCormick

Host profile image
We enjoy our lake home very much! We have another Lake Home and decided to rent this one - as we have decided to keep both in the family.

Why they chose this property

Location was great - not too far of a drive from the Twin Cities with great roads. Close to Mille Lacs Lake for some great fishing - close to Brainerd for great entertainment. The best thing is Round Lake is a great lake, just the right size, not too busy with a lot of other boaters, it has a sandy beach with very clear clean water, and great swimming for the entire family. We are located in a great bay with very few other property owners.

What makes this property unique

The tranquility of the lake and sunsets are just amazing. It is hard to explain until you have experienced it. The sandy beach, quiet lake, swimming, and just soaking up the sun on the dock or relaxing by the fire in the fire pit are so enjoyable. The large lot makes it nice to enjoy other lawn activities while still enjoying the water. Also, watching the resident eagles soar and osprey dive for fish add to the total enjoyment of the lake experience.
