Annandale, Minnesota
Welcome to Karen's Kottage!...a true lake escape treasure, hidden among the tall pines boasting panoramic views of one of the best lakes in the area. You'll LOVE this scenic getaway as soon as you turn onto the wooded tree-filled drive leading to our driveway.
Featuring 2 spacious bedrooms and 2 baths, our well-appointed, cozy Kottage sleeps 9 comfortably. We have a fully equipped dine-in kitchen with breakfast bar that leads into open concept living room (with fold-out sofa bed) with fantastic water views from the entire room. Two spacious bedrooms and bath round out this floor. Lower level features another bath and family room with fireplace and another twin bed and futon for additional sleeping. Both upper and lower levels have fabulous walkout patio/decks with upper half screened in for your comfort. The best view for that morning cup of coffee, afternoon wine or anytime with a great book.
Lake John, a 450 acre recreational/scenic environmental gem is considered one of the premium lakes in Wright county. Exceptionally clean and spring fed lake with hard sandy shorelines makes it ideal for all water sports/activities, swimming, boating or just floating around with your favorite beverage! Our shoreline leading to the lake has a flat grassy area surrounded by plush landscaped vegetation, perfect for lounging in the sun or watching all the fun lake-filled activities happening before you :-)
I offer a canoe, paddle boat, two kayaks, stand up paddle board, and a floating dock to help you get out and enjoy Lake John!
The surrounding area of Annandale has some of the best summertime activities around with one of the biggest 4th of July celebrations in the state, great restaurants, award winning brewery, open air markets and many quaint shops.
Karen's Kottage is Kute and Komfortable! Sweet, petite cottage with a retro feel throughout. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated having fans in each bedroom for white noise. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. We were there in mid-September and the lake was very quiet as most summer traffic had died down already. Plenty of life jackets in a range of sizes as well as water toys and some water crafts to use. We had a bonfire one night and enjoyed coffee from the upper screened in porch in the mornings. Karen is super hospitable and responsive and checked in with us throughout the stay. And she even brought over a freshly baked treat our final morning!
The kottage was just what we needed, it was clean and comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Karen was a great host and was very concerned about making sure everything was great. Already making plans to try and get back there next year.
Clean, neat, homey. Great lake side amenities, fishing and swimming beach. Porches up/down were great!! Nice to have grass on the beach rather than sand to track into the cabin and stairs out of the water onto the dock. Nice shade in the afternoon. Fishing was fabulous!! We would definitely consider renting this property again!!
Karen's Kottage is a gem. We stayed in late June with my parents. The location was perfect. Close enough to town, but secluded enough. We wound through the trees to find Karen's Kottage. Pretty much everything we needed was there. The lake was quiet, even in the days leading up to the 4th of July. Most days, it felt like we were the only ones there. The entire back wall of the living room windows and the screened in porch, gave sweeping vistas of the lake. We had a front row ticket to the family of Loons and their haunting call. There were also Osprey that would occasionally buzz the lake. Two of the days, we rented a pontoon. And the dock was perfect for tying the pontoon up at the end of the day. The dock is nice and long, and we were able to catch some nice sized fish from there. All in all, Karen is a wonderful host, and we would whole-heartedly recommend her little oasis! We will be staying again!
We loved the Kottage! Our kids enjoyed swimming and fishing all day and using the lake toys provided. Perfect location on the lake as well!
Had a wonderful family weekend! The best part was the floating dock and all the water toys/kayaks etc to play with. Great, accommodating hosts!
We enjoyed our family getaway at the cottage. The lake view was wonderful, and we loved the screened in deck. The lake had some weeds, but there was an area for swimming and floating. The cabin could stand some updated furniture, and a bigger pot in the kitchen for making pasta, taco meat, etc would be nice. The game table downstairs was a hit, when the weather didn’t cooperate. Overall we had a nice time.
The cabin is nice, it's old, but well maintained. The Owner was very quick to respond to any issues we had, which were very few.
We seriously can’t thank Karen enough for the wonderful hospitality. She seriously has thought of everything you could need to have an enjoyable vacation with your family. My kids spent hours playing in the lake and jumping off the floating dock. Catching lots of fish was the perfect way to start & end the day. We also got to see the loons and hear them calling at night. Can’t wait to return.
Karen’s Kottage was super cute, exactly what it shows on the pictures. We had a great time, weather was very hot so we stayed inside a lot. It’s just wonderful waking up to the sounds of the loons in the morning. Had an issue with the coffee maker but Karen resolved that very fast.
