Enjoy all that Lake Life has to offer! Whether you’re playing in the water, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, floating peacefully or just watching the sunset over the lake - it’s the escape you deserve! Located just 30 minutes from the northwest metro you can avoid all the hectic weekend travel and spend more time on the lake! We do have a fishing/swimming dock but it's not designed for boats. The yard down to the lake is a bit steep and may be challenging for those with mobility issues. The space Our 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom cabin is perfect for quality time with friends and family. The cabin features 3 bedrooms (two rooms each with a queen size bed, and one room with 2 twin bunk beds), 1 full bathroom and one half bathroom, laundry, kitchen with two counter seats, and a kitchen table that can seat 8. The open living room flows nicely into the dining room and kitchen with lots of natural light and views of the lake. There are two parking spots are available in the driveway, but the garage (and basement) are off limits as neither are finished spaces at this time. Big Lake and Mitchell Lake have a combined 391 acres of crystal clear water along with a public beach and restaurant with a dock (Willy's on the Water)! Enjoy your time on the water - swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, fishing, or floating peacefully. There typically aren’t many weeds on the shoreline in the lake but they do occur and while Big Lake is one of the clearest lakes in the area (water clarity is usually over 10 feet) this can vary depending on mother nature. There are many fun attractions around the area, including the Spud Fest in late June, the Graniteman Triathlon in early August, several parks with playgrounds, Sand Dunes State Forest, and the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. There are also a number of great local restaurants, bars, and breweries. All this is listed in our welcome guide waiting for you in the kitchen. Our cabin is your perfect escape anytime of the year!
