Find your next peaceful getaway at our lakeside home.
The private dock makes it easy to use the 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, 2 person paddle boat, Lily pad, or fish off the dock. After fun-filled days, unwind on the large deck and watch the sunset, then gather around for a fire overlooking the lake.
We have all the amenities you need with a bright modern feel, only a quick 1.5 hour drive from the Twin Cities.
The main level boasts a spacious open kitchen, dining & living room layout perfect for conversation while relaxing or cooking. The main living area overlooks the lake and spacious deck that can be accessed via the main entrance or the sliding door. The deck has dining space for 6 and a couch with 2 additional swivel chairs for relaxing.
Down the hall from the kitchen is a full bath, bedroom #1, which has a bright & coastal feel with a king bed and an attached jack & jill 1/2 bath. Across the hall from bedroom #1 is bedroom #2. In this room, you will find another king bed and a futon chair that converts to a twin bed.
Heading down the to the lower level you will 1st be greeted by a pool table, if you walked directly the the right you would see 2 futons (1 full & one twin) available to convert for additional sleeping. Then, to the right of that is a tuck away bunk room with curtain door for privacy. In this "room," there are 2 twin over queen bunks. Had you gone to the left when getting down the stairs, you would have a family room with a sectional couch, television, and an ottoman that also converts into a twin bed in a pinch. This home is a walk out rambler allowing you to access the outside from a sliding door in the family room. Once outside that door, you will find a shed on a large patio perfect for playing the outside games provided in the shed.
The cabin sits upon a stunning lake overlook, take a gradual stroll down to the lake, and enjoy the small patio area or try fishing off your private dock. There is a public boat launch a few minutes away if you'd like to bring a boat. We have 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards & a paddle boat for your use. There is also a shed next to the house containing a 17ft water mat and a couple adult life jackets. Please bring them for your children. It is state law that all vessels, including kayaks & paddle boards, have 1 life jacket on them per person using the device.
The Lake: Long Trade Lake is a river fed lake with excellent fishing, we've caught some great large mouth bass, crappies & sunnies directly off the dock. The lake is calm enough most days to get some great use of the paddle boards and kayaks with minimal waves. There is a fantastic public boat access not far from the cabin to launch your boat.
Outdoor: There is a firepit available for use on the property for your recreational fires, please don't make them raging bonfires and don't use the deck furniture for sitting around (we don't want burn holes in the chairs). We have 6 chairs provided for fires - should you need more, please bring your own fold up chairs. There is a charcoal grill/smoker available for your use. Bring your own charcoal & lighter fluid.
Indoor: The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need with dishware & silver ware for 12. All garbage bags, cleaning supplies, linens, and towels are provided for use, and there is enough toilet paper & paper towels for a few days on site. There is hand soap, laundry soap, and dish soap here for you.
General info: We have free Wifi and a washer & dryer on site. The door for the laundry room will be locked for safety/liability reasons. There is a key to get into the laundry room on site should you need to do laundry. Per Polk County, our home can room 6 people, but there are 9 separate sleeping areas should you have people that like to sleep alone. We do have two cameras located outside on the property near front & rear entrance doors.
