Spacious Family Place with Game Room, Great Fishing & Sunsets + a Nearby Winery

For a serene getaway near Dassel, this beautiful home features five bedrooms that offer stunning lakeside vistas and plenty of chances for unwinding and exploring. Step inside and discover a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and all the essentials you need to whip up delicious meals. Gather around the cozy fireplace in the living room, or head outside to enjoy the fresh air and take in the stunning scenery from the comfort of the beach loungers or a relaxing campfire.

Guests can enjoy our large game room year-round with a bonus fridge, microwave and tables. When the water calls explore this lightly developed 684-acre lake, which is part of the Crow river system. It's known for low traffic and great fishing year-round, especially walleye.

Indulge in the convenience of free WiFi, a washing machine and dryer, and air conditioning (or heating) to ensure your stay is as comfortable as can be. When it's time to unwind, challenge your friends to a game of ping pong, air hockey or foosball in the game room, work on a puzzle, curl up with a good read, or play a board game.

With two bathrooms (towels and basic soaps), you'll have everything you need to feel right at home. And for the little ones, there are 2 pack n plays for use, high chairs, a baby monitor, baby gate, infant bath support and 2 portable cradles. Not to mention a wide selection of books, movies, games, toys, and outdoor activities to keep them entertained.

For summer guests we have a classic canoe, multiple adult and youth kayaks, and a paddle board in both adult & youth size. Our shoreline has a sandy-rocky bottom with minimal weeds, and a low-slope out. Depending on spring rains, water depths will vary (and shoreline can vary, as well, depending on how much rain we get); but often it's shallow enough for wading and swimming with little ones.

Relax with your morning coffee or enjoy the sunsets from our patio or the deck on the stairs. Our tree-lined lot offers both shade and sun with open flat areas for lawn games and star gazing. Opposite our property are scenic woodlands, marshes and rolling prairie in the State Wildlife Mgmt lands.

Note that the game room is our finished off garage, and is temp-controlled with options for AC and heat, making it a great place for pets, as well.

For your grilling needs we have both charcoal and gas grills, with propane provided - and these are just a few steps from the back door.

The TVs are fitted with Google Chromecasts + DVD players, and there are movie collections on each level. You will also find a wide selection of books, cards, board-games, puzzles and toys. The "living room" sleeping space is our lower level great room with (3) twin-over-full bunk beds. Note that there is not a door to this room, as it's directly at the bottom of the stairs.

The Public Access is on the north end of the lake (about 1/4 mile from us) and has a concrete ramp, parking area and a sandy beach-like area. This also allows for overnight parking, if needed.
** There is a dock but no boat lift. Please bring an anchor for any watercraft you bring to anchor near shore overnight.
