AMAZING LAKE HOUSE 1 hour from cities, Goose Lake, "Where up North starts."

You are going to love everything about this place. From morning coffee out on the deck or down on the patio, both overlooking the lake. Or maybe you would prefer to have your morning coffee down on the 50+ foot long dock, with a bench seat on the end of it. It is such an easy walk to the dock and can almost guarantee you will walk right under an eagle in the trees or flying above you. You will have a couple of kayak's or a paddle board at your disposal to take out onto the beautiful Goose Lake. Goose lake is a chain of four lakes, Upper Goose, Lower Goose, Mandall Lake and Robour Lake. Over 700 acres of shoreline. Your house will be located on Upper Goose. The public boat ramp for the lake is literally 1000 feet down the road from your drive way if you want to bring you own boat and tie up to the long dock. The two parts of Goose Lake is passable under a small bridge. Mandall and Robour are connected by channels.

All four lakes are known for pan fish, LM Bass and northern. Lower Goose will provide the walleye fisherman with plenty of opportunities. Fishing is good right off the dock for bass, northern and pan fish. Don't have a pole, there will be a few down in the lower level entry of the house for you to use. Grab some crawlers at the bait shop just off the Harris exit on your way to the house.

The lakes are big enough to enjoy yet small enough to not have heavy traffic of any kind.

When the sunset hits at dusk it is the most gorgeous thing you will ever see. You will find yourself paralyzed as you look at it. Wondering just how bright it can get.

The yard is perfect for yard games. And the fire-pit (being built in April of 2024) will allow you a great time while you are eating your s'mores and drinking your favorite beverage.

The biggest problem will be getting out of the house, it is so warm and cozy you will have a hard time leaving it. It is three levels, you will walk in to the middle level. It will hold the master bed and bath, the second bedroom (bunk room) and another bathroom. It will also have a living area, a kitchen that may make you forget you are at the lake...until you look up and see the lake out the two huge windows in the dining area. The space is very open and easy for all to enjoy.

The upper level has two more bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a full bed. There is a living area up stairs as well that has a sleeper sofa. There is small table up stairs looking out over the lake. It's a great place to do some crafting or putting together a puzzle.

The lower level has a spiral staircase. These types of staircases are not for everyone. They are safe, but different and make some people uncomfortable. We have tried to keep that in mind and made the downstairs living area a "kid area." With a couch and tv, and a place to play games. There is a closet full of board games in the bunk room. There is an entry to the lower level from the back yard as well.

In the winter when you come up to ice fish (straight out from the house is the best place on the lake in the winter) you will have a nice wood burning fireplace to cozy up to when you get into the house. Or maybe you go hang out in the sauna as your winter activity. It is hooked up and ready to go year round.

If you HAVE to work for part of your stay, there are two designated work areas each with its own desk. One is in the master bedroom, far away from house traffic. More than quiet enough for that zoom meeting you have to do. There is also a standing desk upstairs if needed for a work space. Internet is great and fast.

All four TVs will have access to your internet streaming choice as they all have access to wifi. The TVs do not have cable/satellite access of any kind.

The outside area on the side of the house that is opposite of the lake is very spacious. There are many parking spots and good turn around area if you are pulling. Many games have been played up on that side of the house as well because of its great shade and flat area.

The house is located an easy 15 minute drive of off interstate 35. You will be an hour to the cities and 90 minutes to Duluth.

The area is loaded with things to do. You are ten minutes from the cities of Cambridge and North Branch. All kinds of stores, coffee shop, and restaurants. Many of trips to Target have been made from this house. :)

There are three bar/resort bars within ten minutes of the house. Food is great at all three places.

Sunrise Prairie Trail is about a 15 minute drive from the house. This is an asphalt bike and hike trail.

Running Aces casino, hotel and race track is 20 minutes away to the South and Grand Casino is 30 minutes to the North. Both located just off of I35.

ATV/snowmobile trails are 40 minutes away.

There are several golf courses within an hour drive of the house in all directions. Including Bullrush Golf Club, only 5 minutes away in Rush City. Many of those courses also have simulators for the cold months.

The house is close to several wedding venues in the Rush City, Cambridge, North Branch and Stanchfield areas. The house is also just an hour drive to Hudson, WI.

Rush City, a 5 minute drive, has a very good Mexican restaurant and it may also have the best baked goods you have ever tasted at the Rush City Bakery. Get there early, things go quickly.

The bedrooms:
The master is a huge room, has a king bed with adjustable bed base. There is an office area in the bedroom and a rocking chair as well.

The master bathroom is a full bath. Shower/tub combo. * Coming 2025 NEW walk in shower no tub.

The second bedroom is the "bunk room" has a bunk bed, twin over full, and a trundle bed. The bathroom downstairs is also full bath, with tub/shower combo.

The other two bedrooms are upstairs. Bedroom 3 is a queen bed and bedroom 4 is a full size bed. The bathroom upstairs is a full bath as well with a shower/tub combo.

The living area upstairs has a sectional that turns into a double bed with a lift up section.

The laundry area was just moved from the basement, upstairs to master bed level and both the washer and dyer are brand new.

Deck is nice and large, it has two table and chair sets on it. It has a propane grill ready to go.

There are TVs in the living area on the top floor, the living area on the main floor and down in the "kids area" in the basement. There is also one in the master bedroom.

The kitchen is loaded. The usual of course, plenty of dishes, cups, silverware and supplies. In addition you will find an opal nugget ice machine, Ninja air fryer, and Ninja double brew and single cup coffer maker compatible with Keurig pods. A nice sized island to use in any way you see fit. There is also a beverage fridge to help with the overflow.

The neighborhood is on a dead end road, with the boat ramp towards the end of the road. The house sits in a private setting, fence and trees as barriers between both neighbors. Both side have great neighbors who keep to themselves and will expect the exact the same from you. If you are looking for a party house, please keep looking.

Upper Goose, the lake the house sits on, is a shallow lake. Most of the lake, away from the shoreline, will be 5 to 7 feet. From the shore line to about 100 feet or so will be 1 to 3 feet. That is why the docks on on upper Goose Lake tend to be pretty long, allowing it to get out to a little deeper water.

Swimming on the shoreline becomes challenging. It tends to get weedy as summer moves along. Most swimming is done out away from docks on this lake.

Pets are welcome with prior approval as well as a $150 pet fee, dogs only. Limit of two.

A damage deposit of $500 will be required as well as a $150 cleaning fee for all bookings.

We stayed at the Amazing Lake House because it was close to my daughter’s wedding venue. What a fabulous lake house! The view of the lake is beautiful and the house is fabulous. Very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive and helpful when I contacted them with questions. A great place with all the amenities needed and the view of the lake is the best!

We have rented VRBO's many times but have never had a place with so may amenities as this pace they thought of everything inside and out! Would recommend this place very highly. Kevin was so easy to deal with. Great place to make wonderful family memories.

Beautiful Lake Side Stay
This well kept property hosted a group of friends and family who wanted to spend a weekend on the water. The house is laid out beautifully. The included amenities are helpful and of quality. The hosts even included a welcome basket with extra goodies! With the adverse weather and high water levels the host did their best to accommodate our stay and still made it possible for dock and water access! The front yard is big enough for yard games and fires in the evenings. The lake itself is a pleasant view. The host cleared a swimming area off the end of the dock which was useful. The lake is quite weedy. If your planning on fishing think top water, and target bass. Our group did have some luck. The location of this property is solid for Twin Cities residents. An hour drive to get you away, but not feel too long! Our vacation here was enjoyable and memorable. Thank you to our helpful hosts Karla and Kevin! Strong communication and always available for questions or concerns.

Amazing!
All I can say is that everything was absolutely perfect. This property is perfect for a summer family gathering. We had access to use the kayaks and water board and there was also a water pad for use if you wanted to go out and then swim. I used the sauna and it worked great. The house itself was absolutely beautiful and pristine. We had everything that we needed; pots and pans, dishes, silverware, and so much more. The cupboards were organized in a way that it was easy to find things. There are multiple bedrooms and sleeping options. The beds were very comfortable. Having three bathrooms with showers and tubs was awesome. There was never a line for the bathroom. The highlight of our trip I would say was fishing. We caught bass, northern, and sunnies. My husband caught a large northern probably about 2 feet. My son also caught a couple large northern unfortunately we didn’t get pictures of everything. Those are some slippery fish. We loved having the portable fire pit and also the grill was used multiple times. Kevin even set up fishing poles for us. One thing though to keep in mind is there are a lot of stairs to get to the back area and the lake. That being said my 85-year-old mother came and could get back there with assistance. She loved sitting on the deck and looking at the water as well. Karla and Kevin, were very communicative. They were great hosts. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this lake home vacation was for us and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful accommodations!!
This is a great home overlooking the lake. There were 11 of us and we all had a bed. The kitchen is fully stocked, including ice maker, crockpot, top of the line cookware, and beautiful appliances. The large deck looks over the lake and accommodated all of us. The location is great - so close to the cities. We certainly hope to stay there again.

Amazing Family Experience
We recently stayed at this property with a large family group consisting of grandparents, parents, and kids and everyone had a great time! The hosts were available before the trip to answer any questions we had and when we arrived we found a welcome basket complete with smore's fixings, drinks, snacks, and bubbles for the kids. Such a nice touch! The kids had fun fishing off the dock and caught plenty of sunfish and a few northerns to keep them interested. The kitchen was well stocked and the open concept into the living and dining rooms was great so the designated cook for the meal could still be part of the group. We spent most of our time at the "cabin" as we called it, but ventured into Rush City to check out the bakery and garage sales and to Hinkley to visit the casino. The location is a great home base. We would definitely book again. Thanks so much to our hosts!
