2 BR/ 1 BA Lake Home
Lake Fremont
Zimmerman, MN

Welcome to your next vacation getaway! Nestled on Lake Fremont with a beautiful view of a peaceful natural setting, this house has a huge deck, sandy beach and lakeside fire pit. Relax in the warmth and openness of the main living room with its vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace; surrounded by two bedrooms, open kitchen, wood floors, huge windows, skylights and gas fireplace. This is your home away from home as you give your body a rest, go fishing, have a picnic, relax on the sandy beach or make s’mores at the fire pit. Bring your boat (or rent ours) and cruise the lake and explore the island in the center of the lake. In the winter, bring your snowmobile and explore the miles of nearby trails. The bonfire pit is just steps from the water.

Looking to have family/friends stay nearby? Check out our sister property (Ivy Cottage) on Lake Fremont. It's steps away!

DETAILS: The master suite is lofted and has skylights. The second bedroom has a lake/beach view. There is also a large L-shaped couch perfect for afternoon naps.

The living room has skylights, large LED TV, DVD, and internet TV. The large windows and doors offer a great view of the lake.

Also, if you are looking for a non-toxic place, we have converted the house to a chemical-free, organic cottage. The beds, linens and pillows are either organic cotton or non-GMO cotton. Queen bed is a new organic Avocado mattress. All cleaning products are fragrance-free and we don't use harsh chemicals (Branch Basics is used for cleaning). Air filters are changed every two months and the home has an air purifier. Trust us...you will notice a difference in how great you feel after a week here.

Like to fish? Throw in a line and catch sunnies and bass right off the dock! Or cast for something more challenging - the lake was recently restocked with game fish by the DNR.

Beautiful walking trails within a couple blocks at Grams Regional Park (see photos).

If you are bringing the family, we have a wide variety of family games, wireless internet and a DVD player. Have kids? We have plenty of toys, books and crafts to keep your little ones busy on a rainy/snowy day.

Cozy

We wanted a lakeside Thanksgiving getaway and this was perfect! Cozy, warm and well appointed. Craig, the owner responded quickly and was very helpful with the questions we had. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds are comfortable and there is a nice supply of linens. We enjoyed the nearby Grams Park trails and Sand Dune Park trails for walking with our pups. We had a campfire and enjoyed the stars and full moon on the lake as well as the beautiful sunrises. There were various birds on the lake, including an eagle. The wifi works well and the smart tv streams well. The fireplace didnt work during our stay and that was stated on the vrbo site that they are waiting for parts. Fair enough. Overall a lovely Thanksgiving on Lake Fremont! Thank you for opening your lake house to guests and allowing pets. We are very grateful!

Great weekend trip!

My brothers and I stayed here for a weekend getaway from the cities and it was the perfect place! The location is awesome - it's in a cute little neighborhood right on the lake. I did a run around the lake and it was a great route - with part of it on a dirt road that went right up along the shore. The cabin was clean, and a great size for 3 people (would be good for more people too). The cabin had all the amenities we needed and was close to a grocery store and restaurants. It was a great place to spend a weekend and I would definitely go back!

Girls Weekend!

Cute little cabin with a fantastic view! So great to be near to the water. Perfect deck to sit out and chat in the evening. The host was very responsive. We will plan to make it our annual destination for Girls Weekend!

Perfect Getaway not too far from home

This property and house were great! We have 2 small kids and appreciated it not being too far away, but felt like we were far enough away from home. The weather wasn't great, but we were able to use the beach and bonfire pit which were hits with our kids! Very close a few parks, which our kids loved - easily walk-able. The home is just enough for our family of 4 and they had plenty of toys (inside and out) for our kids to play with. The only bedroom is rather small and the queen bed is up in the loft so not a ton of privacy, but it wasn't an issue for us as we had the kids sleep in the bedroom. Kitchen was well stocked. Craig was a great and responsive host. We definitely want to come back when we can actually get in the lake!

Beautiful paradise close to the cities!

This property was beautifully put together and gave for a relaxing stay! The home is small but packs a lot into it! We opted to rent the paddle boards and Maui Mat- and had a wonderful time exploring the lake, the island, fishing off the dock, and just hanging by the beach. We saw lots of nature and enjoyed a fire lake side. Thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us!

About the host

Hosted by Craig Sandok

We bought this house and used it as our lake cabin for several years. We even got engaged at the dining room table! We have since both started businesses and have two young children which leaves us little time to get to the lake. Our hearts are most at ease near water so we hope you enjoy Lake Fremont as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This is a great lake house with beautiful views and it's the perfect place to relax.

What makes this property unique

This house is very close to the Twin Cities. There are great restaurants and bars in Zimmerman and nearby Elk River and Otsego. We use only non-toxic cleaning products.
