Close to it all, the home is only 9 mins to St. Paul, 21 mins to Minneapolis, and 13 mins. to MSP and MOA. Welcome to your very own "cabin in the city"!brbrImportant Note: Before booking this beautiful lake home retreat, please ensure you have read our simple and straightforward house guidelines on this page and throughout the listing.brbrThere is direct access to the lake from with a basic wooden dock.brbrWhile swimming and fishing in the lake is not recommended, people have done it before if they're feeling adventurous or overly optimistic about fish. The water is shallow so the actively growing aquatic plants in the water usually reach the surface especially from May through August.brbrMotorized boats are not allowed on the lake so please enjoy the peace and tranquility. There is a canoe and kayak available for your use to go exploring around the lake. If you come in the summer, you will find a beautiful section of lily pads with the most amazing flowers.brbrThis modern lake home has been totally remodeled to provide all the creature comforts of home while allowing you to take in all the sights and sounds that nature has to offer. You may even see one of the resident bald eagles! brbrThe house provides a great opportunity to get away from the pressures of life for either a couple of days or for a week or more.brbrThe location is perfect as it's so close to the Minneapolis (20 min) and St. Paul (10 min) yet secluded enough that you would never know it.brbrThe house has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. There are 2 grills, one on each side of the deck.brbrCheck in time is 3 PM and check out time is 10 AM.brbrFor your reservation, the reservation fee includes 4 guests and each additional person, even if just stopping by and not staying overnight, is an additional charge which is calculated when you finalize your reservation. The additional charge is $30 per guest per day.brbrI encourage you to purchase travel insurance so that in the unlikely yet possible event that something happens and you need to cancel your trip after the refund deadline, you can receive some of your costs back for eligible cancellations.brbrIf I find any evidence that smoking took place in the house, the fee is $1,000. Additionally, if you have extra guests that were not included in your reservation, you will be charged for that as well. Lastly, if I learn of these or other situations during your stay, your reservation is subject to immediate cancellation with no refund.brbrAs neighbors are close by and expect to enjoy their home in peace and quiet, if your group becomes so loud or disruptive that the neighbors feel that they need to call me or the police about it during or after your stay, there will be a damage claim of up to $1,000 to be deducted from your security deposit. Additionally, your group may be asked to leave at whatever time this occurs and there would be no refund of what you have paid to complete your stay. As you expect peace and quiet at your home when you are there, please extend the same courtesy to my neighbors so that I can continue to offer this great home to others such as yourselves.brbrAfter you reserve the property, you will be provided the location of the house. Based on a few previous guests who have caused problems, I will need a list of names of anyone who will be on the property at any time during your stay, even if they are just stopping by. Each person is considered a guest for fee calculation purposes. Thanks for understanding.brbrPlease note that there may be security cameras that face the entrances of the house, NOT on the inside.brbrThere is a limit of 40 guests during the day (a guest is any person on the property even if not staying overnight and just stopping by for a short time) and a limit of 28 overnight guests. After the first four guests which are included in the reservation, the charge is $30/guest/day.
