Andover, Minnesota
Our quaint 1940s lakeshore home is ready for your family to relax and recharge. Wake up to beautiful views of the lake with your morning coffee. Sit on the patio by the evening bonfire watching the brilliant colors of the sunset. Our home has been lovingly prepared for YOU. We want you to forget about the tension in life. Make new memories with your family and watch the joy light up your children’s faces as they experience the great outdoors.
Our lake cabin is in the perfect location: it has an “Up North” feel without the long drive. Nestled in the quiet community of Ham Lake, it’s the charm of a small town only 35 minutes north of downtown Minneapolis.
THE SPACE
• The space is most ideal for 2 adults and 3 children, but can accommodate up to 7.
• Our 800 square foot beach-decorated home is cozy, but open and airy. Whatever amenity your family needs to feel at home, we’ve got it. An electric fireplace and forced air heat will keep you nice and toasty even in a winter snowstorm. In the summertime, the air conditioning will keep you cool.
• The home is 2 bedrooms and 1 & 1/2 bath, with the master bedroom containing a queen size select comfort bed. The private children’s room contains a bunk bed with rails, pull out trundle bed along with toys and books.
• For additional space, the family room closes off with barn doors and the sofa pulls out into a queen-sized bed.
• The home also contains a smart TV for your entertainment, and a desk in case you need to get some work done. Wifi included.
• Our newly remodeled private bathroom contains a bathtub with shower. There is also a half-bath in the laundry closet for your convenience.
• Our kitchen is fully equipped with cooking basics, a fridge, electric range, outdoor electric grill, microwave, coffee maker, crockpot, blender, toaster, dishes, and utensils.
• We have plenty of extras for babies or kids, including a travel crib, highchair, umbrella stroller, and plastic dishware & utensils. Lots of games, toys, books, and outdoor play activities are included as well!
THE LAKE
• Coon Lake is a beautiful spring fed lake, which means the water is always clear. It's perfect for quiet fishing and relaxed boating. Little Coon Lake is connected to the larger Coon Lake by a small, shallow channel.
• It’s shallow around the edges, so lily pads grow quickly, but we’ve cleaned a great swimming area within our dock, that has a great sandy bottom. Walk out the backdoor and down a few steps to a private swim area and dock. Your children can play in the play set, sandbox or with one of the water toys you will have access to.
• We also offer the use of 2 firepits to enjoy the lake in the evenings. Firewood can be purchased along your way at One Stop Convenience Center in Ham Lake, MN.
• This is truly a fisherman’s paradise. Anglers can catch Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and Bluegill sunfish. Bring your own gear. Kids will enjoy catching sunfish right from the dock!
• We provide free use of 2 kayaks and a canoe. There is also a paddle boat available to rent at an extra charge to explore and fish out on the lake.
• While there is no boat launch on South Coon Lake, the larger connecting lake does. While there is a connecting channel, due to drought, it is sometimes not accessible for larger boats. Feel free to park your boat in our driveway, and load in each day at the lake access, just a few miles away.
• Additionally, you can rent a pontoon for the day locally by contacting Coon Lake Boat Rentals.
• In the wintertime, you can skate and ice fish right out the backdoor. Bring your own gear. The backyard slopes down to the lake, so kids can sled down. There is also a huge sledding hill a mile away. Snowmobiles are welcome! We have direct access from the lake to several MN State trails in the area.
PLEASE NOTE
• No Pets. We apologize we cannot accommodate your pet, and we would be happy to point you to a local boarder. There will be a minimum $200 pet cleaning fee if evidence of pet is found.
• We are not responsible for accidents at the house or on property or with the use of non-motorized watercraft. Use the lake at your own risk.
• For your security and ours, we have a doorbell camera on the front door.
• City ordinance for quiet hours after 10pm until 7am. Please respect this quiet neighborhood.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Beach House! Wish it was during warmer weather, would have loved to enjoy the outside more. Would stay again, great communication with the host.
We had an awesome stay at this clean, cozy cabin! It was easy to relax here! Outside we enjoyed the beautiful lake, dock, canoe and paddle boat. There are nice views of lake from inside the cabin and we loved seeing the beautiful fall colors! The cabin was well-stocked with everything we needed to help us feel comfortable. My kids enjoyed the (well-organized!) books, games and toys! Kevin was an exceptionally kind and responsive host. We hope to be back to stay again!
Paddle boat was wonderful and the sunset camp fires we will definitely go back again
We came out for a bachelor party because it was a great location close to some activities we wanted to do! The host was very responsive and gracious. Our stay was a lot of fun and we all had a place to sleep and the ac was a plus! Thanks again!
A very well appointed, cute,clean,organized small lake house.
Cabin was amazing! The lake was small and full of weeds. Was not told we would be watched our whole time on camera was awkward and would of never picked this place had I known. The whole idea is to get away and have privacy. Not being told we would be on camera was upsetting.
The cabin was very clean and literally had more to offer my grandkids than my house. All the necessities such as high chair, pack n play, bins of toys in almost every room including the bathroom. The best part is these were new to the kids so they stayed entertained for a long time, plus books for all ages. The kids loved the slide. Nice layout of the cabin for adults, we could visit and still see the kids at play in the big bedroom. Hosts were very quick to respond. The shoreline has a small area of sand but there were many lilypads so we went to a nearby beach and it was beautiful and very shallow.
We needed to get away from our normal routine and just experience more summer. The lake, beach house, swimming, fishing, canoeing, grilling, campfire, napping, sunburn... We soaked it all in! We stayed only a few nights, didn't need to bring much as this house was well stocked with all the essentials! It was cozy, and clean. We loved looking at all the beach inspired decor. Our kids ages range from 5-15, and all four of them enjoyed our time here. My husband and I were able to relax, and just enjoy our children! Our favorite thing was just sitting on the dock, catching sunfish with the kids, and watching the beautiful sunsets with all the wildlife around us. Loved having that private dock, and right out the backdoor made it even better! The host was super responsive to any questions we had, and wanted to make sure we had the best stay! We wouldn't hesitate coming back to this lakefront beach house, we would only stay longer next time!
The cabin was clean and well stocked. The owners were very responsive. We spent a lot of time on the water, and highly recommend taking advantage of the canoe and paddleboat availability. Great time!
