About this property

4 SEASON LAKE HOUSE RETREAT Private Dock,Sunsets,Family Friendly,Hunters Welcome

Welcome Family, Friends, Fisherman and Hunters to 4 Season Lake House Retreat, we are situated directly on Big Stone Lake with a private access and dock for your enjoyment . If you’re looking for a place to just to get away and enjoy full lake access, two decks, one is located by the water and one on the home with full view to enjoy the lake and the most amazing sunsets, then you have found it here. Our home is remodeled and designed inside and out for your comfort. The interior amenities consists of 4 bedrooms ( Master has a Queen On first floor, the second bedroom has a Queen and the third room has a oversized Twin and the fourth has a full size) which sleeps 7 people comfortably and privately ( no sharing a room is needed) if needed I can bring in another twin bed to set up in one of the rooms. The living room is large with lots of seating for you, your family or friends to gather to watch TV ( wireless internet available for free) or to play games ( supplied) or to just visit. The Kitchen has all your needs ( I supply paper towels, disposable plates, bowls and cups for those who would rather not spend your vacation in the kitchen…. But , there is a dishwasher ( I do not charge for electricity or water), and let’s not forget the laundry room so you don’t have to leave to wash your clothes or take them home dirty ( I supply laundry detergent and softener sheets. My home comes with multiple places to gather and eat with a large front patio as well as a rear one and also a deck connected to the house as well as one by the water near the dock that is beautifully shaded. There is also a enclosed year around porch that has a 180 degree view of the lake to enjoy all year around with breakfast or anytime to watch the wildlife or our amazing sunsets and sunrises without having to leave the house. There is wild life for all to enjoy watching while you sip a hot beverage in the morning. During the winter, there’s an electric fireplace on the porch, as well as Large Built in Fireplace with Logs and a beautiful ambience to watch and listen too in the Living Room as well, so you will always be warm and cozy in the winter. If you’re coming in During Thanksgiving the house will be decorated in full Fall Decor and at Christmas time, there will be a Christmas tree up decorated ( I love Lights So I hope you do too) . There is tons of comfortable seating in the living room so everyone can enjoy the TV which has wireless Internet for each of the televisions in each room. There is so much to do around the area, whether it be boating ( if you don’t have a boat there’s places to rent less than 4 miles away if you do have a boat there’s a place you can park it right at the top of the property). So whether your coming to hang out on our private dock to kayak, fish, ice fish, hunt , hike or just lounge around during the summer or spring or come here in the winter to do ice fishing, hunting, shopping, visiting the city or going on day trips to South Dakota ( which is across the lake), as well as visiting the other surrounding lakes.It’s all at your fingertips. We also offer you, during the holidays or a special event ( with prior consent on how many people ) the ability to celebrate Christmas, thanksgiving or an anniversary, reunions and more. ( Trolley and Jacuzzi are temporarily out of service due to misuse by renter). My phone number is 320-444-7680 ask for Mary if you have any questions and Thank you and God Bless

Very sorry about the trolley unfortunately renter prior to you coming in head overextended the trolley when it was being taken to the top. The person who fixes it was unavailable at that time, the next time you come it will be working. I am so glad that you and your children had fun at my home. I hope to get a chance to open my home again to you and your family.

Loved this place! The house was adorable, super clean, and really comfortable. Everything inside worked great, and the bathroom had literally everything you could ever need. The bedrooms were cute, roomy, and perfect for relaxing.The lake view was gorgeous from every spot—inside the house and out. I also had so much fun watching the wildlife around the property: deer, squirrels, birds, ducks, and I’m pretty sure I spotted a falcon too.The host was incredibly sweet and friendly, and you can tell they put a lot of care into making guests feel welcome. It honestly felt like staying with someone who genuinely wants you to enjoy your time there.The hot tub was out of order, which was a bummer, but honestly the only downside to an otherwise amazing stay.I’d absolutely recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time at the Four Seasons Lake House. Our hostess put a lot of thought into the layout, amenities and the yay folks might need. There was even aloe Vera in the fridge for that pesky sunburn, crayons and coloring books, games and cozy blankies. We planned to arrive right around dusk, and the house was set to receive us with soft lighting, music and views that did not disappoint. We were able to park our truck and boat trailer at the top and make supper quick. We have three kiddos and a dog everyone decided we should come back soon! We played on the lake, my parents were able to relax on the platform and watch the kids swim and rough house in comfort despite the sun/heat because it stayed shaded all afternoon. We enjoyed pizza from town on the patio, went across the lake for some ice cream and played cards. I think it bears repeating our stay was wonderful. If you are looking for a nice spot to relax, enjoy the lake and the sunsets this is perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Waggener

Host profile image
I love the fact of sharing my home with others to enjoy as much as I do... I believe in family and friends coming together and making new memories. As a multiple cancer small survivor , I believe a legacy that we believe behind is not what we can give monetarily but, the joy that we share with others. Whether it be coming here for a reunion, holidays, or to come fishing ( spring through the winter) , boating, hiking, or just doing absolutely nothing. I believe the moments and memories that we build in our lives are the legacies we leave for our family and friends. My favorite and fondest memories that sit so heavily on my heart and in my mind are the moment that my father and I would go out fishing or boating. The holidays were not about the gifts but remembering how we decorated the tree or the games that we would play on a rainy day or a snowy night. I hope that you choose our home to build those memories.

Why they chose this property

I grew up on the water and have lived on or near water all my life. This is a beautiful lake with gorgeous sunsets and great fishing. It is a great place to relax and just let go.

What makes this property unique

The year around sunsets and sunrises are amazing and the ability to have the privacy of the trees that surround our property or the private access to the lake from the backyard to our private dock, is my favorite part of my property. My home is also a year around property where you can enjoy every season and holiday cozy and warm in the winter and cool in the summer heat with A/C and shade from the trees allowing privacy.
