About this property

Entire place

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

Find your happy place at Big Swan Lake. Enjoy peaceful sunsets. Pets welcome.

Welcome to your home away from home. Spacious 3 bedroom 2 bathroom lake house with tons of additional sleeping options. Sleeps up to 14 (full size futons hold 1-2 people depending on their size)!

Spend your days swimming in the lake, fishing off the dock, try your hand at kayaking, or just relax on the swim platform or floating pad. Hard sandy lake bottom, great for swimming. Water level fluctuates throughout the summer. Currently is a bit lower due to drought. Kids and adults alike will enjoy a fully stocked game room with pool table, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, dart board, smart tv, and air conditioning.

Experience fantastic sunset views over the lake from all levels of the house and attached deck. Roast marshmallows, unwind and tell your scary stories by the campfire.

In the winter sit around the gas fireplace and sip hot cocoa after a day of ice fishing, ice-skating, cross-country skiing, or enjoying local snowmobile trails.

Other perks of the house include: screened in porch overlooking the lake, office with sleeping options ability to close doors for privacy also overlooking the lake, central air, gas grill, deck with patio furniture, open concept living area, fully equipped kitchen, smart TV in the living rooms and bedrooms, free Wi-Fi, boat dock, some adult size life jackets provided, off a tar road with plenty of parking, washer and dryer available detergent not provided, clean clear lake with walleye, large and small mouth bass, crappies and bluegills.

Fun fishing trip.
The ice wasn’t perfect during our stay, but the cabin was nice. Clean, plenty of sleeping space and lots of games in the garage. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice place to stay.

Wonderful Lake House
When I booked this house it was a new listing and didn't have any reviews, but the pics looked good so I took a chance. I'm so glad I did!!! I have stayed at quite a few properties and this was by far my favorite. House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with all the necessities plus more. Beds were good. There is tons of extra place for guests to sleep besides the 2 bedrooms, including plenty of blankets and pillows. The lake has one of the nicest sandy bottoms I have seen. Lots of fish caught right off the dock as well in the boat we brought. Screen porch was nice when the bugs got to be too much. Game room was so much fun for the teens and adults. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great stay

MN Summertime!!!
This place was perfect for our family & friends weekend (kids from infants to 12 yrs & 4 adults)! We have stayed many place & never had such a soft sand beach/lake bottom without weeds! The game garage was a blast & entertained the adults and big kids. The swimming raft, floating mat, and kayaks kept us on the water too! We brought our boat and chose to beach it since the bottom is all sand, as we are a bit particular ;) Overall the place is very well cared for & supplied with all we needed. The hosts were fantastic at communicating when we needed.

Fun family getaway
We were definitely in our “happy place” staying at this cabin with our family. (10 adults and four grandchildren) We enjoyed swimming, fishing, kayaking, campfires, and the game room! Our grandson caught his very first fish (Northern) off the new dock! Nice tar road is great for walks and bike rides. The hosts were super friendly, very easy to work with, and had quick responses to any inquiries we had! We would definitely stay here again!
