You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious Family Place with Game Room, Great Fishing & Sunsets + a Nearby Winery

For a serene getaway near Dassel, this beautiful home features five bedrooms that offer stunning lakeside vistas and plenty of chances for unwinding and exploring. Step inside and discover a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and all the essentials you need to whip up delicious meals. Gather around the cozy fireplace in the living room, or head outside to enjoy the fresh air and take in the stunning scenery from the comfort of the beach loungers or a relaxing campfire.

Guests can enjoy our large game room year-round with a bonus fridge, microwave and tables. When the water calls explore this lightly developed 684-acre lake, which is part of the Crow river system. It's known for low traffic and great fishing year-round, especially walleye.

Indulge in the convenience of free WiFi, a washing machine and dryer, and air conditioning (or heating) to ensure your stay is as comfortable as can be. When it's time to unwind, challenge your friends to a game of ping pong, air hockey or foosball in the game room, work on a puzzle, curl up with a good read, or play a board game.

With two bathrooms (towels and basic soaps), you'll have everything you need to feel right at home. And for the little ones, there are 2 pack n plays for use, high chairs, a baby monitor, baby gate, infant bath support and 2 portable cradles. Not to mention a wide selection of books, movies, games, toys, and outdoor activities to keep them entertained.

For summer guests we have a classic canoe, multiple adult and youth kayaks, and a paddle board in both adult & youth size. Our shoreline has a sandy-rocky bottom with minimal weeds, and a low-slope out. Depending on spring rains, water depths will vary (and shoreline can vary, as well, depending on how much rain we get); but often it's shallow enough for wading and swimming with little ones.

Relax with your morning coffee or enjoy the sunsets from our patio or the deck on the stairs. Our tree-lined lot offers both shade and sun with open flat areas for lawn games and star gazing. Opposite our property are scenic woodlands, marshes and rolling prairie in the State Wildlife Mgmt lands.

Note that the game room is our finished off garage, and is temp-controlled with options for AC and heat, making it a great place for pets, as well.

For your grilling needs we have both charcoal and gas grills, with propane provided - and these are just a few steps from the back door.

The TVs are fitted with Google Chromecasts + DVD players, and there are movie collections on each level. You will also find a wide selection of books, cards, board-games, puzzles and toys. The "living room" sleeping space is our lower level great room with (3) twin-over-full bunk beds. Note that there is not a door to this room, as it's directly at the bottom of the stairs.

The Public Access is on the north end of the lake (about 1/4 mile from us) and has a concrete ramp, parking area and a sandy beach-like area. This also allows for overnight parking, if needed.
** There is a dock but no boat lift. Please bring an anchor for any watercraft you bring to anchor near shore overnight.

This place was an awesome place that had everything that our bachelor party wanted and needed. We didn't have to leave the house one time except for to go find a volleyball court. The entertainment room was spot on for what everybody was looking for. We had 10 adults and all of us were able to have a bed. The kitchen was fully equipped and the grill was nice to have. The house was nicely cleaned and we did not hear a peep from The Neighbors besides your normal day-to-day interactions. We're totally recommend if you're looking for a nice getaway from today's society and cell phones.

Great House!

The house was just perfect for our family of 13. The kids loved the basement family room/sleep area. The garage was an excellent area for jigsaw puzzles and the fire pit outside the house was so convenient. The layout allowed us to all be in the same space to share meals and/or games. We all loved the house!Downside:The internet and data access were horrible. It's great if you want to unplug but don't plan on working if you need to be online. Rachel had warned us that the lake was overflowing due to the recent excessive rains, so we understood it was out of their control. But the kids swam anyway and had fun thanks to a lily pad that had seen better days. The steps, while sturdy, are very steep and may not be suitable for everyone.

Nice spot for a family Christmas

We love this lake home, which includes a game room in the garage and large amount of space for the little kids to separate and have fun. Lots of games and toys for every age. Fishing was good right in front of this place which was a plus. Well stocked kitchen with all cooking devices one would need. Very receptive and good host. They do charge a fee over 8 but you know what that is before you book. Great experience overall would recommend anyone looking for a good getaway cabin for multiple families. House was clean and well maintained .

Perfect large family vacation

Absolutely wonderful spot on the lake for an extended family vacation over Labor Day weekend! Plenty of space for all and with all the water toys and amenities you could ask for! We had such a wonderful time hanging out by the dock, kids playing on the lilypad, kayaking, paddleboarding, peddleboating, tubing and water skiing! Playing yard games on the large lawn, sharing stories and memories around the campfire and playing games in the living room. The kitchen was well stocked for large group meals with a bonus fridge in the garage/games room, where the kids thoroughly enjoyed waking their older cousins by playing air hockey at ungodly hours of the morning! ;) The hosts Reed and Rachel were fantastic to communicate with and very accommodating with the check-in and check-out process. Would definitely stay here again! It may become an annual family reunion spot.

Lots of kid toys for the yard, which is fenced in so great for little ones to play. Perfect lounge space and firepit. We had fun playing ping ping and airhockey too! The water was high due to all the rain so understandably wasn’t much of a beach but there’s a swim pad that a bunch of people can sit on and paddleboard so we just hung out with those!

Family time

We enjoyed our stay. The house was just as expected, clean and plenty of space for the whole family. Kids liked the bunk room and adults had their privacy. Beds and bedding were comfortable. The weather wasn't the best when we were there and due to all the rain the mosquitos were very bad, so we didn't spend much time in the outdoor space.(not the owners fault) The breeze came up on Sat evening so we were able to have a fire, which is important to our family. We found a great city park in Litchfield. It had a splash pad, beach, and great playground. Maybe they spray for mosquitos because the bugs were not bad there. Our family really enjoyed the game room at the house! It was great that some could stay up late and play cards while others slept. I gave a four stars on the cleanliness because the outdoor toys were not clean and ready to use. In the end it didn't matter to us, just a comment. Great memories were made. Good place to stay!

Great Space for a Large Group

This house was perfect for our group of 9 ranging from 11 to 67 years old. We traveled to Minnesota from Colorado for a family funeral, and having ample room for all of us to stay together made those two days a little easier. Check-in was super easy and Rachel graciously let us check in early. The house had plenty of space for our group to spread out, eat meals, play games, etc. The 4 queen bedrooms and bunk area with double/twin bunks provided enough beds for everyone to sleep comfortably, though the two basement queen rooms were quite cold according to the two who slept in them. One slightly awkward moment was when Rachel asked how many beds needed to be made up. Since it sleeps 17, I totally understand only making the beds that will actually be used. However, not knowing exactly how we'd all configure for sleeping, it was hard to specify how many singles/shared beds, etc. Maybe numbering or lettering the beds in the photos would help future guests easily communicate their needed bed setup. Overall, the spacious house with a fun game room was exactly what our family group needed. The amenities were as advertised. I'd recommend this property to any large family or group looking for a comfortable place to stay together! Thank you, Rachel!

Family gathering

My son and family flew in from North Carolina to spend a "Christmas" weekend with myself, his brother and sister and their families. We haven't seen him for about 6 years so this was a great time by all. The home accommodated all of us for 2 night stay. The game room in the garage was awesome for the kiddos and adults. My whole family was impressed with the roominess and the sleeping area. We even had a visit from my son's 1st cousin that they hadn't seen each other for over 10+ years. The ice fishing was good also - caught 2 walleye but one got away. It was the 1st time my grandson ice fished. Also the owners left the holiday decor up to feel like Christmas - They also responded quickly if we had any questions, Thank you Rachel and Reed for the use of your home --

Christmas Fun for the Family!

The owners are good at communicating and very helpful. They assisted in getting a local Santa for our Christmas celebration for the grandkids, which was an AMAZING experience for the kids!!! The game room was great fun for all ages!! Biggest water heater I've ever seen. It rained, and in late December, that was odd, but we still had fun on the ice and campfire & s'mores. towels were a bit thin and be sure to bring our own plates/soup bowls. We would definitely stay here again... nice place and location.
