We loved this location. It was clean, organized, and felt very homey. Very comfortable. A perfect retreat for two. Would highly recommend and would book a getaway there again.

Why they chose this property
Cedar Lake in Annandale offers the quintessential Minnesota lake experience — calm waters, stunning sunsets, and the sound of loons at night — all just one hour from the Twin Cities. The cabin sits right on the shoreline, so the lake is literally your backyard. The town itself has a charming, laid-back feel with local restaurants, a wine bar, a brewery, an ice cream shop, and antique stores all just minutes away. It's close enough to the city for a quick getaway, yet far enough to feel like a true escape.
What makes this property unique
The Annandale Lake House puts you right on the water — not near it, not a short walk from it, but directly on the shore of Cedar Lake with your own private dock. You can wake up to open lake views, have your morning coffee on the deck, and be swimming or fishing within steps. Each season brings something different: kayaking, paddleboarding, and sunsets on the dock in summer; fall foliage reflected on the lake in autumn; ice fishing and snowy landscapes in winter; and the quiet beauty of watching the lake come back to life in spring. Inside, the gas fireplace and pine-clad walls make coming back to the cabin after a day outside feel like coming home. With a queen-over-queen bunk bed, the house comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests — ideal for families. With a strong track record and five-star reviews on other platforms, The Annandale Lake House delivers a genuine Minnesota lake experience, all year round.
