Lakefront Family Studio Sleeps 6

Sometimes all you need is a well-designed room, a good stove to sit beside, and a lake that stretches to the horizon. Red House #5, Unit B is a brand-new studio at Del Mar Dunes, built for small groups and families who want to be close to the water without giving up comfort or style. The vaulted shiplap ceilings make it feel wide open, the kitchenette keeps things easy, and the lake is right outside the door.

THE SPACE

A bright, open studio with soaring vaulted ceilings wrappedin whitewashed shiplap — the kind of space that feels twice its size. Everything you need is right here, laid out with care.

Living Area: Settle into the navy sofa or a leather swivel chair by the wood-burning stove, flip on the Smart TV, and watch the evening light change through the windows

Kitchenette: A well-appointed kitchenette with a wine cooler, microwave, coffee maker, and plenty of counter space — perfect for light meals, morning coffee, and evening drinks

Dining: A charming bistro table with woven café chairs — a cozy spot for two or a casual breakfast nook for the group

Sleeping: A plush king bed with hotel-quality linens under a warm wood ceiling, plus queen-over-queen bunk beds with their own reading lights — ideal for kids or extra guests

Bathroom: A beautifully tiled bathroom with brass fixtures, a wood vanity, and a walk-in shower lined in marble and deep navy blue subway tile

Extras: An entryway nook with hooks for coats and gear, mini-split climate control, ceiling fan, and a private keyed entrance in a charming coastal hallway

OUTDOORS AND LAKE ACCESS

The name “Del Mar” means “by the sea” — and standing at the shore of Lake Mille Lacs, you’ll understand why. One of Minnesota’s largest lakes, it’s right outside your door. Spend mornings fishing, afternoons kayaking or paddleboarding, and evenings watching the sun go down over the water. In winter, the lake transforms into one of the best ice fishing destinations in the state. Resort and public trails run through the property whenever you feel like stretching your legs.
