About this property
The Lake House | Faith-Focused Retreat + Sauna
Welcome to The Lake House, a private lakeside sanctuary devoted to rest, reflection, and renewal. Just 1 mile from downtown Hudson, WI, this thoughtfully restored 5-bedroom, 3-bath retreat overlooks peaceful Lake Mallalieu and invites guests to slow down and reconnect. Created by the nonprofit Inspired Retreats, stays and programs are offered at contribution-based rates supporting our mission.
Escape to your own private lakeside retreat just one mile from downtown Hudson, WI. This beautifully renovated home offers luxury and serenity with breathtaking views of Lake Mallalieu, connected to the St. Croix River. Inside, you’ll find 6 king beds plus a twin trundle, 3 full bathrooms, and a brand-new, fully stocked kitchen designed for gathering and shared meals. Every detail has been professionally curated to create an atmosphere of peace and restoration.
Unwind year-round in the 7-person hot tub or spacious multi-person sauna overlooking the lake. Cozy up by the indoor fireplace or gather around the outdoor fire pit under the stars. The home also features a bright sunroom, a lower-level card and poker table, and open spaces perfect for retreats, family gatherings, or restful escapes.
🛏️ Bedroom Layout
★ Bedroom 1 (Upstairs): King bed with hallway access to a full bath featuring a standing shower and soaking tub.
★ Bedroom 2 (Upstairs): King bed plus twin trundle (best used with king + one twin, as space is limited when trundle is extended).
★ Bedrooms 3, 4 & 5 (Downstairs): Each with a king bed; one includes a unique king bunk. The lower level also offers two full bathrooms, a sunroom with walkout access to the hot tub and sauna, and cozy gathering spaces.
Located just minutes from Hudson’s charming downtown—home to award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, and seasonal festivals—you’ll experience both tranquility and convenience. Explore nearby Willow River State Park for hiking and waterfalls, or take a quick 20–30 minute drive to the Twin Cities St. Paul or Minneapolis for city adventures.
Whether you come for restoration, celebration, or connection, this peaceful and stylish home invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy the beauty of the St. Croix Valley.
