About this property

We bought this 1979 A-frame to give our kids an experience unique to Minnesota and it is our favorite place in the world. When we are not around we want others to have that same experience. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 9 guests. Nicely shaded and sitting amongst the trees, you can enjoy views of the lake from the cozy living room, kitchen or deck. There’s ample seating on the deck for outdoor dining. Inside, there’s a breakfast bar located in the open and well equipped kitchen. The sandy beach is accessible by stairs, is mostly shaded and is a great spot for lounging or making sand castles. In addition our property has a field for throwing the ball around, yard games, or other sports. You have access to a dock and you may use the lift (no cover) for your own boat. Please let us know ahead of time if you need the lift. The place is perfect for year round recreation.

During the fall months enjoy the beautiful changing colors by kayaking on the lake, relaxing on the deck or hiking on the many hiking trails in the area. A bonfire on the beach is a must while here, staying warm and cozy during the fall crisp evenings.

Winter months here will also not disappoint. The Tree House is of course warm and cozy inside but the the adventures during the the winter months outside are not to be missed. The Tree House cabin during the month of December is decked out for the season to be together with family and friends to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. The cabin offers its own ice-skating rink all lit up with lights. We have a variety of ice skates to offer. The cabin also comes with ice fishing gear, including a 2 man flip over house, ice auger and poles. The cabin also has easy access to snowmobile trails for those that maybe need a spot to stay for a weekend filled with snowmobiling. If skiing is your thing, Powder Ridge ski and sledding hill is only a 15-minute drive away! The fun is endless during the long winter months.

When Spring is in the air the anticipation of the thaw and thoughts of summer are on the the horizon. Lake thaw and the abundance of nature comes home and it is like no other feeling when you are on the lake. It's the perfect time to come to stay and take in the feeling of joy which follows winter and the excitement of summer coming to life.

*Younger children should be supervised at all times on the deck and walking up and down the stairs to the beach. Getting to and from the beach requires climbing stairs.

It was fine

Check in process was clunky as there was nobody but a neighbor in the vicinity to help. They use a Wi-Fi driven lock system. I am sure it works most of the time,but was a hassle for my crew to wait for communication. When they figured that out we had to wait for them to contact the neighbor and for them to get over. Not an amazing feeling.

Comfy and Relaxing

The Tree House is comfy and welcoming with the seasonal decorations and the Tree House Tips! We were very pleased with the fully stocked kitchen, the comfy living room furniture, the plethora of blankets and pillows, the relaxing fireplace, and the comfy beds. The view from the living room/deck is so awesome at night, and you can go to sleep with the stars if you choose the loft. We contacted the managers a couple of times - immediate responses. Our stay was in November, and it was oh, so quiet! Truly enjoyed our stay at The Tree House!

MEA Get-Together

Great place to stay for our group of five (over 50) women. The kitchen was equipped with more than what we expected. Beautiful view over-looking the lake from inside or out on the deck. It would be fun to come back during warmer weather to use the beach area with paddle boat, etc. We hope to be back next year! Thank you!

Perfect spot for a lake getaway

This was the perfect place for our group of six friends and two kids to hang out for a summer long weekend. The cabin was clean and spacious with plenty of room for all to eat, play games, and hang out in the living room/kitchen area, on the deck, or on the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked with the basic utensils, plus lots of little things that were surprising to see and great to have, like corn-on-the-cob holders and a reusable Keurig pod. The gas grill and fire pit were perfect, and the water toys (lily pad, kayaks, paddleboat, kid sand toys) were a special treat for us all!

About the host

Hosted by Jalayne

My name is Jalayne and I host the Tree House and found I have a passion for pleasing guests and hearing of the fun and memory making they do during their time at the cabin. My full time job is an Education Assistant for an Nature based learning school here in MN. With nature being such a focus in my job, I adore when families and friends come together and enjoy Lake John and all the nature and outdoor fun there is to offer.

Why they chose this property

The Tree House is a cozy A-Frame that has so much character. It is set in a lot that has privacy to enjoy, whether it be from the views off the fabulous deck or the beach that offers so much fun from fishing, to kayaking, boating or just relaxing enjoying the nature surrounding you. This cabin provides so much fun in all the seasons. Summer fun is endless and fall is full of changing colors and hiking. Winter months comes with a lighted skating rink and ice fishing gear. The spring offers the wild life and the thaw of the lake which is the excitement leading to the best time of the year at The Tree House.

What makes this property unique

During the summer we offer kayaks, a paddle boat, beach games, sand toys and a sandy beach to swim in. The fall is the time of taking in the colors. The local hiking trails are close and the fall sunsets are SPECTACULAR! Winter is the time to come and get in some ice skating on the lighted ice skating rink and ice fish with the a 2 man fish house, auger, and fish gear provided by the cabin. We decorate for the holidays and think it is a special touch the cabin provides. Spring is for the thaw and the anticipation leading to the SUMMER!
