About this property

Secluded Lakefront Lodge in Iowa's Great Lakes

This year-round home sits on 6.5 acres in southwest Minnesota with over 400' of elevated shoreline. The cabin is a two-story structure with loft. Guests will enjoy comfortable accommodations including 4 Sleep Number beds (2 King beds, 2 Queen beds), 1 full size Tempur-Pedic bed, 1 queen size sofa sleeper, 2 roll-away twin size beds, dining to accommodate 12+ meal guests, two full bathrooms (main floor and basement levels), laundry facilities, etc.

This cabin fuses Northern Minnesota lodge feel with modern utilitarian features. A deck with large gas grill off the kitchen allows guests to prepare and serve meals without missing any of the action. The loft and open floor plan allow for a beautiful east-facing view of peaceful Loon Lake. Walkout basement with large patio promotes relaxed socializing with room for family and friends to play in the yard.

Two private docks are included on site with public boat ramp access only 1 block away. Other amenities include full service kitchen, Keurig coffee maker, stoneware service of 8+, cookware, free WiFi, two gas fireplaces (one in basement and one on main floor), satellite television (Dish Network), video game console (Xbox One), free on-site laundry, keyless entry, and ample parking. Kayaks, canoe, and small fishing boat are all available for rent as well (contact owners for availability and pricing).

As for local attractions, guests can enjoy golfing, walking / riding bike trails, swimming, fishing, hunting nearby public lands, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and so on. For especially large groups (i.e., exceeding the cabin's capacity), friends and family are encouraged to utilize the neighboring Jackson County campgrounds (Anderson, Brown, and Robertson all within one mile). These campgrounds offer campsites with electricity (20, 30, and 50 amp service), rustic campsites, restrooms, hot showers, and playground equipment.

If guests wish to explore a larger area, there are two breweries, two wineries, a drive-in theater, movie theater, boutiques, antique shops, spas, flea markets, waterpark, amusement park, concerts and nightlife all within 15 miles or less. This property definitely gives you the space needed to spread out and relax in a quiet family atmosphere. Yet it is close enough to take in the Okoboji experience when the time is right.

Loon Lake is located in Jackson County, Minnesota. This lake covers 679 acres. It is approximately 7 feet deep at its deepest point. Anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including Bigmouth Buffalo, Black Bullhead, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Lake Sturgeon, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, White Sucker, Yellow Bullhead and Yellow Perch.

This is our second time back to this beautiful cabin. Beautiful spacious grounds, great view of lake. Cabin is in a quiet area if you want to totally disconnect. Located only a short drive away from all the wonderful attractions Okoboji/Spirit Lake area has to offer. We will be back again for sure!!

Quiet hideaway

This cabin was a quiet retreat away from the business of life. We felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves, hardly saw anyone else out on the water. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Very fun place to stay.

Great lakefront stay

Quiet, peaceful, and clean. Good fishing, great amenities, and a very cozy place for a lakefront getaway. The whole process was organized and simple, and the home has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Bait shop nearby, 10 mins from Spirit Lake.

Cozy Christmas Cabin

Our family of 8 loved this cozy cabin! It really put us in the Christmas Spirit! The owners were very accommodating and had all the essentials. The lake is a little low so we didn’t catch much Ice fishing. We may just make this an annual event loved this place!

Perfect!

Everything you need plus some. We stayed with 3 boys ages 3, 6, and 8. This house had everything to keep us all entertained even when our outdoor plans where dampened by the weather a bit. The location itself is stunning, then to have all the amenities provided inside too was just top of the line! Very clean, very welcoming!

Great Getaway Spot

Communication with hosts was excellent. The spot was beautiful and quiet for the most part. There was great access to the lake with two dock options. Neighbors were a little noisy in building their addition, but no other issues outside of that. The lodge was accommodating and loved having two fire pits with plenty of firewood. It was a nice little nature reset for my husband and I, although we both said it would be a great spot to bring the rest of our immediate family since we’re so many beds.
