This Lake home is the perfect getaway in the city. If you're looking to be close to everything, but still have a private escape, then this is it. This home is set on nine wooded acres with lots of privacy. It has beautiful views of the lake, pond, wetlands, and abundant wildlife. Quick freeway access and just minutes to both downtown Minneapolis (15 min) and St. Paul (10 min). It is literally a one of a kind property. This warm and inviting home is perfect to play or rest. Five Bedrooms, three bathrooms, a beautifully appointed kitchen, and open living room and dining area make this home excellent for large groups or multiple families. The yard is large enough for endless games and activities. The deck has lots of seating to enjoy a beverage and the view. And two outdoor fire pits to enjoy on a cool night. Inside, cozy up to watch a movie by the fireplace on cool summer nights or snowy winter days. In the summer, enjoy swimming and playing in the lake. The large permanent dock is perfect for swimming or catching panfish off of. Enjoy Paddleboards or the paddleboat. Or bring your boat and enjoy the chain of (4) St. Paul lakes. In the winter, ice skating, snowshoeing, and ice fishing are all popular on the lake. Everyone is welcome in this home -- it's where others find rest, peace, relaxation, fun and a place to bring their loved ones. We are not currently hosting weddings at our home. Note to renters interested in hosting larger groups (groom's dinners, etc): Based on past unfortunate experiences, we have a slightly higher rate for big groups. We also require rental of a portable toilet (less than $200 in our area) for the day of the event. Feel free to inquire with any questions.
