About this property
Enjoy beautiful sunsets at our cottage on Deer Lake!
Our Deer Jess Cottage is on Deer Lake and we are just minutes from downtown Buffalo where you will find restaurants, antiques, shopping, brewery, wine bar, ice cream shop, and Wright County parks for great winter and summer sports, hiking and more. We are also not far from Hanover, Delano, Maple Lake, Monticello, Annandale and downtown Minneapolis which offer even more options. Deer Lake is great for fishing both summer and winter! On nice weather days, a paved path only a half mile away takes you right into downtown Buffalo.
Our cottage is a great home away from home with many amenities. The main floor includes a full kitchen (no dishwasher), primary bedroom with queen bed and Roku TV, half bath (toilet & sink only), coffee station, breakfast/snack bar with seating for 3 and a large dining table with seating for 6. The living room is all set to take in the awesome views of the lake. The fireplace is not operable for use. The walkout lower level includes a family room to enjoy the 55” smart Roku TV, 2 queen beds and a 3/4 bath with shower. Note that the lower level has an open concept and the beds/sleeping area is not private and is open to the sitting area.
Note----the cottage is not handicap accessible as there are a couple steps onto the deck to enter the home and a staircase to the lower level to the family room, 3/4 bath and walkout to the lower patio. There is also a staircase down to the lake.
This cottage is located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. No parties or events are allowed. We have great neighbors and want everyone to be courteous to them so prefer quiet time from 9PM to 8AM.
No pets allowed and no smoking or vaping inside the cottage or outside on the premises. NOTE: There is an outdoor security camera used to protect the property.
For warm weather enjoyment we have two kayaks and a paddleboat available for you to explore Deer Lake and neighboring Buffalo Lake. There is a public boat landing only a short distance from the cottage. The dock is installed in the spring and removed in the fall based on lake levels, weather and manpower permitting.
For winter family fun there is ice skating rink on Buffalo lake, sledding hill at Buffalo Heights golf course and downhill skiing at Powder Ridge in Kimball. There are multiple county parks close by including Bertram Regional Park, Stanley Eddy Regional Park and Baker Park Reserve offer groomed cross country trails less than 30 min away!

Wonderful, relaxing, and everything you could need
Cabin was absolutely perfect for our adult family gathering - just as it looks in pics/described, and somehow even better. Great location with a nice drive from the cities, quiet neighborhood, amazing hosts, and stocked with everything you could possibly need to enjoy a fun, relaxing, and active getaway on a lake. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We loved having you and your family. Bummed you didn't get that big northern though that you had on your line!
We had a great week at the lake home! It was a perfect spot for our young kids! It's a quiet location, within minutes to downtown Buffalo, which offered things for us to do daily! The swimming, fishing, and fun off the dock were perfect for us!

We're so glad you got to enjoy the lake and Buffalo area!
The property is beautiful and they have everything you need on site. The kids had a blast playing in the lake and we enjoyed the town festivities in Buffalo. I would highly recommend it and we will be back!
Wife and I had a great stay at the cabin! Property was very clean, beds were super comfortable and Leanne and Tonya have the cabin very well stocked with coffee, water, seasonings, paper and glass dishes and the list goes on and on! Thank you!
