Welcome to the Lakeview Retreat on Crystal Lake! We are a family and pet friendly destination. You can enjoy cabin life right in the heart of the Twin Cities metro area. Our retreat is across the street from Crystal Lake, offering beautiful lake views from two balconies. Crystal Lake is a fully recreational lake. It is ideal for year round activities. Our property is located 0.2 miles (or a 4 min walk) away from the public boat launch. We're also nearby to Buck Hill, MOA, Mystic Lake & more! For bookings greater than 28 days: - We offer complimentary monthly housekeeping. - During the winter months, we will provide a snow blower and shovels. We are also able to connect the guest with an approved snow removal service by request. It is the responsibility of the guest to settle any snow removal payments with the approved provider.
