Exceptional views from every angle and every room. A true Up-North retreat. Towering trees, unbelievable sun rises and sunsets. From bird watching (frequent Bald Eagle visits), boating, and lounging......the possibilities are limited only by your desires.

Wonderful stay!

My family and I (8 adults, 2 teens) enjoyed our stay at this lovely lake house. The pedal boat and kayaks were great amenities and we all enjoyed exploring the lake. The house was very clean and the kitchen had all that we needed to prepare our meals. The location is less than an hour drive from the Twin Cities, yet the peaceful surroundings makes one feel as though one is far from the hustle and bustle of the cities....just what the family needed, indeed.

Beautiful home with lots of space

We had a large party of people coming to MN for a family event. We had an additional person join, which Mark quickly helped get on the list. The home is beautiful and had room for all of us! The lake can be seen from every room in the house which made every bedroom a top choice! Now to go back when we have more time to spend enjoying the lake!

Yearly Vacation for Extended Family

This was a great place for our children, grandchildren, and us to stay. The bunk bedroom was fun for all six of the cousins to sleep and giggle. I particularly liked the shaded deck in the late afternoon. It allowed the adults to converse and still keep an eye on the children playing in the water. Remember to bring bar soap and shampoo.

Great family time!

We had a wonderful week in this large home on the lake. The kids swam and fished, and we all had space to do all we wanted to do. The kitchen was well supplied , and the bedrooms were spacious. The beach was great, and being on the point allowed us some privacy. There was room for lawn games, and plenty of parking. We will be back!

Awesome home, great location

Our family of five stayed in the home over the 4th of July. Very nice yet comfortable home with plenty of usable space. Our kids spent hours on the beach and enjoyed using the kayaks that were available. Super convenient from Twin Cities, and a neat town in Lindström. Would definitely do it again.

Thanks for the review. Many of our guests comment about how great the town of Lindstrom is along with the "up north" feel it has but yet so conveniently located to the Twin Cities metro area. Thanks for staying with us and hope to see you back again!

Great vacation home

We had a great time at this property. It is very private and there is plenty of room. We went swimming, fishing, and kayaking. We also drove to the nearby state park which had a very cool “pothole park” formed by glaciers. There are places to rent kayaks there and go down the river. On the Wisconsin side of that state park there is a nice little beach. There are a lot of fun cafes and shops in that area too

Good spot for kids!

We had 8 kids and 5 adults. There's plenty of sleeping options: full size beds, bunk beds, futon, trundle bed, moveable beds, etc. Kayaks and paddle boat were a hit. Firepit was nice. Plenty of outdoor seating for meals. Nice sandy beach, not much seaweed, so the kids swam and waded all day. Good for kids of all ages. Kitchen appliances were clean, functional, newer. Clean house. Lake also was good for tubing, fishing, etc. We would stay again if the opportunity arises!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Nowlin

Host profile image
The Doll House on the Point is enjoyed by two families. Two brothers and their families decided they wanted a place for all the kids, cousins, and friends to grow up fishing, swimming, tubing, waterskiing, wake surfing and to spend more time as a family.

Why they chose this property

The lake is very special to our family and it will be to yours as well. Lindstrom is conveniently located only 35 minutes from the Twin Cities metro area yet you feel like you are up north every minute you spend on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Only steps from the beach and water and lake views from every room! 2 kayaks with paddles and a pedal boat are included. Pontoon rentals are available on the lake as well!
