About this property
Private Retreat - Great for families! Great dates available in September
You will love your get away to 'The Lake' when you stay at our cabin, The Boat House, directly on Upper South Long Lake. All the amenities you want mixed with classic cabin comforts like knotty pine interior, quilts, and being lulled to sleep by the loons calling.
The living room addition and connected dining room a provide panoramic view of the lake. The living space features a natural stone gas fireplace, 1 rocking swivel chair, 2 leather recliners, a full couch with 2 recliners, and a 52" high definition TV, cable connected. The dining room has a full size table with 6 chairs.
The kitchen and bath are fully updated. Two generous sized bedrooms plus a separate den sleep 6 comfortably.
Great private lot with huge shade trees, large yard for yard games, and 200 feet of private lakeshore. The lakeside deck includes a dining table with chairs, and glider. Such a great spot for reading, an afternoon nap, watching the loons, a memorable meal, and catching a glorious sunset.
Enjoy the day swimming, boating (canoe is provided), and fishing right off your private dock. Bring along your own boat and waterskiing, wakeboarding, drifting in the sun, and serious fishing are yours. Please note that the dock is out of the lake from around October 1st to around May 15th - check with us if the dock is important to you.
Evening bonfires, roasted marshmallows, shore lunch, the call of the loons, and a lake full of fun will all become a part of your family memories.
While our place is very private it is just a short walk to a local bar and restaurant to enjoy a beer and great burger.
We are just a few miles east of Brainerd for shopping, antiques, and nightlife. Enjoy all the sites, attractions, golf and restaurants in the Brainerd Lakes area! Lake Mille Lacs is a few miles away.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Tom and Linda Herzog
Tom and Linda have been vacationing on Upper South Long Lake for many years. We met at a bonfire party on the lake and have raised 3 kids with loads of summer lake adventures! We are excited to share our cabin with you. As a matter of fact you might see us on the lake as we enjoy 'Up North' at our place on the same lake!
Why they chose this property
We have been vacationing on this Lake for over 40 years. We love it up here so much this is our second home on the same lake. Wildlife, long walks, eagle spotting, loon calls, water sports, sunsets, talks and s'mores around the campfire are all woven into our family fabric. You'll be happy when they are part of yours!
What makes this property unique
We take a lot of pride in our cabin so you will find it neat and clean. We have made many improvements that you will appreciate. You will love the privacy provided by our 200 feet of lakeshore, big front yard, lakeside deck, and the wooded lot. From many windows of the cabin you can not see our neighbors. On bad weather days there is lots of space in the cabin for family card games, movies (small library included) or a check on the current sporting event on the big screen TV. Up to 2 dogs can stay with prior approval and additional fee paid
