✨Family Retreat in the Heart of Town! 4BR Charm, Ideal for Memorable Getaways🧚
Step into a world of timeless charm and warmth at The House on Lake Ave – your perfect family, pet friendly retreat in Battle Lake! This 1903 historic gem is being lovingly restored little by little, blending inviting design with cozy touches for an enchanting stay. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the sunlit porch, strolling to nearby beaches, shopping and eating at amazing locally owned restaurants and stores (just steps away), witnessing the magical tree fairy's lights, or dining under the stars in the outdoor gazebo, every moment promises joy.
Nestled just steps from the vibrant Battle Lake main strip, this well-loved home welcomes you with open arms. As a nod to its century-old charm, The House on Lake Ave boasts a kitchen without a dishwasher – a reminder to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures. Fear not, for those who embrace the dish duty will find delightful surprises kept in a basket above the fridge. This home was crafted with the heart and soul of bringing families and friends together. Be sure to check out the door to Narnia in the bathroom linen closet!
Dedicated to their four children and a vision inspired by cherished summer memories, the owners of The House on Lake Ave aspired to craft more than just a vacation home. Their goal was to fashion a family haven destined to be a sanctuary and birthplace of lasting traditions. A place where every summer could unfold into cherished memories, weaving a story that would be retold for years to come. Soft linens and "old house charm" around every corner (including sprinkles of paint on the floor from a 125 lb fluffy dog) create a space that feels both cozy and joyful. A place for everyone to enjoy their vacation (especially mom). Just pack a bag of clothes with your lovey, and let the magic of this family haven create lasting memories for you and your loved ones!

About the host
Hosted by Danielle
Originally hailing from Battle Lake, Minnesota, I traded the lakeside serenity for the sun-kissed shores of the Florida coast (for the meantime). As a child, I was surrounded by hospitality at my family's resort on Clitherall Lake, immersing myself in the art of creating cherished moments. Those summer traditions, steeped in deep childhood nostalgia, became the driving force behind our house in Battle Lake.
Lately, I've been finding solace in the quiet embrace of a good book- that is, when I can find it since I have 4 kids and 2 dogs running wild. A nod to my Scandinavian roots, I cherish cozy moments when I can, like that first sip of your morning coffee when it's a little foggy outside and there's a light breeze coming through your windows.
Indulging in cookies while sharing laughs and (and judgment) watching reality shows with my husband is a guilty pleasure that adds a sprinkle of sweetness to my evening.
My favorite part about hosting a place like this is hearing those special moments or stories that families tell. And it's a real treat when a child leaves behind a drawing or something they made during their stay. Words truly can't be placed for that feeling it gives.

What makes this property unique
Unlike the pristine facades prevalent in media, our home celebrates the beauty found in imperfections, reminding us all that life's true magic lies in its unfiltered moments. Hence, the paint sprinkles on the floor and even a paw print toe from a certain Newfoundland Dog. This old home is more than just a rental; it's a testament to embracing the genuine, imperfect beauty that surrounds us in life and motherhood. In a world saturated with filters and ideals of perfection, our space offers a refreshing departure, inviting you to revel in the authenticity of every creaky floorboard, weathered staircase, and quirky detail that makes this house uniquely charming.
Our commitment goes beyond providing a place to stay; it's my love letter to moms and children- a tribute to the shared journey of parenthood. This house acknowledges that parents deserve more than just a vacation; they deserve an opportunity to savor the fleeting moments that transform into cherished memories for their children and family.
This space is not merely an investment but an endeavor to create an immersive experience for our guests. It's about those quiet mornings sipping coffee on the porch, the laughter echoing through the living room, and the warmth of shared stories around the dining table. Here, you'll find solace in the imperfect, beauty in the lived-in, and a celebration of the small moments that compose the symphony of family life.
It's our sincere hope that, within these walls, you'll discover a retreat that transcends the typical, offering an experience that lingers in your heart long after the vacation ends.
