Roseville, Minnesota
With quick access to Hwy 694, 36 and both 35's this charming log cabin is located in a beautiful and convenient area of the Twin Cities. You'll enjoy the melodies of loons with your morning coffee and vibrant evening sunsets. Be careful of cars....they’re always slowing down on our road to see the local deer families....my goodness those fawns are cute! There is many beautiful local parks to explore or great shopping at Rosedale Mall just minutes away. Under 10 miles to either UofM campuses, along with many other University's: Bethel, Northwestern-St. Paul, Concordia, and Hamline. Minutes to either downtowns to get the Xcel Center, US Bank Stadium, Winter Carnival and Minnesota State Fair Grounds.
The space
Walking in, you'll enjoy the distinct log aroma that warms your soul and transports you to a tranquil corner of the world. Nicknamed "Owasso Marina" we have always had several docks and water toys (kayak, floaties, paddle bikes and paddle boat) which we will provide the same for our valued guests. Additionally, guests can try fishing, waterskiing, boating, or swimming during the warmer months and ice fishing, skiing, snow shoeing, ice skating and snowmobiling during the frozen months.
Pets
1-2 well behaved, 100% housebroken dog guests allowed. Must be discussed and approved by owners before final booking. When human guests are away, the dog guest must be crated. There will be an additional fee for dog guests.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire 1st floor and master bedroom loft that overlooks the living room and dining room. They can enjoy the lake views from the deck off the living room and the lower patio and deck space at the lake level. A separate dock is available for any guests that wish to bring a watercraft. There are several other water toys and life jackets available, if needed. Door to basement is locked for homeowners use. If we visit the basement, it will be through the lake side basement door and will only be for short periods of time for business operations.
Other things to note
Our home is located on a paver stone private drive that parallels a railroad track. There are 8 intimate homes on the drive and it’s just over a car width wide, so please do not park in the roadway in order to allow the neighbors ample room to come and go. The roadway is a driveway for our homes and often times the neighbors, their kids and/or pets are socializing, playing or working in the yards, driveways or the roadway…so please drive slowly and don’t hesitate to wave, stop to say “Hi!” and introduce yourself!
Possible noise
Private drive parallels railroad track which may run during daylight hours. An 8-10 car train runs 5mph and sounds horn at the top of the hill for car traffic. It’s part of our “up north” atmosphere in the middle of the Twin Cities!
When we first walked in, we were impressed by the log cabin feel, cleanliness, and fresh scent that remained through the duration of our visit. There's a great view of the lake, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Erika was a great host and went above and beyond to make our stay special.
Felt like we were up north but with all the amenities of city living. Erika was a perfect hostess. There were so many personal touches. The master bed was extremely comfortable. It was great to be able to have our dog with us during our stay. She enjoyed it just as much as we did. We would highly recommend this getaway!
We are from the Twin Cities and wanted to go to a cabin for spring break. Little did we know we could go to the cabin and only drive 15 minutes from our house. We had so much ease in being close to home with packing. If we forgot something we had a quick trip home. We really felt like we were away from the routine of life. The cabin was well stocked, perfect for our family of 5 ( 2 adults, 1 teenage and 2 dogs). Our pooches had great walks and a fenced in front yard. Erika had fresh banana bread waiting for us and was a wonderful hostess with spices to use, snacks including crackers and cheese and dog biscuits too! We would definitely happily return. There are train tracks near the house but we only noticed them a couple of times and it certainly would not be a reason not to book this little gem of a local cabin on the lake.
This house is very comfortable, extremely clean, and well equipped. The owner is quick to respond and very accommodating. The property and views are gorgeous. Highly recommend.
This was a great cabin with excellent hospitality. I appreciate the quick preparations with short notice. Thanks for a great stay!
We were a little nervous about traveling during a pandemic, but this cabin immediately felt like a safe and cozy retreat. Erika's communication went above and beyond, as did everything else about the place. We were amazed at how clean everything was, all the special touches (extra towels, blankets, toiletries, and even groceries!), and the beautiful view. We spent a lot of time at the fire pit with family and would love to return in the summer to enjoy the lake. Highly recommend!
We needed a local place to stay while we put our house up for sale. The location and amenities were amazing! We spent most our time on the deck, enjoying the lake. Erika is an amazing host. She communicated often, asking if we needed anything. All of the little things, like snacks for the kids and a crate for our dog made us feel at home.
Everything about this place was outstanding. We’ve stayed at VRBO’s all over the US, and this was among the best. Erika thought of everything - the house was as good and better than advertised. Such a well appointed house, in an incredibly beautiful setting. We didn’t even feel slighted due to the weather being a bit cold for our stay. The house was so cozy and great to hang out in. Location is excellent. You are 5-15 minutes from any restaurant or shopping place you could think of. Great breakfast at the Scandinavian Bakery 2 minutes away. I would give this a 5 star rating without hesitation. Thank you so much Erika - we will certainly be back. Andy & Kari Hyatt
The cabin is very well appointed and the manager Erika was very accommodating. Everything we needed to enjoy the water, campfires and some relaxing quiet time. Erika has all the little touches! We loved our vacation.
This was one of our best ever rental experiences! We were looking for a peaceful place on the water to stay while our son recuperated from surgery. We found it! The lake house was just as described and seen in pictures and was so clean! It has the perfect view of the water and comes with lots of toys to enjoy on the water. Erika could not have been kinder or more accommodating to meet our needs while we helped our son recover. We are so thankful we found this place!
