About this property

Beautiful Get Away for any season only ONE Hour from the Twin Cities!

  • Beautiful Lake House within an hour’s drive of the Twin Cities

    This peaceful lake home is located only 1 hour out of the Twin Cities! Situated on west side of Little Elk Lake (near Zimmerman, MN) and sits on a 1 acre wooded property with a breathtaking, southeast facing, view of the lake front perfect for spectacular sunrises. A dock for you to fish from and secure your boat or perhaps jet skis.

    Recently, the house was beautifully updated with a stunning kitchen to include a wine cooler. Outfitted with new furniture. It’s just simply stated, a perfect place to relax with family and friends, enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning on the patio or perhaps enjoy a glass of wine in the evening as the sun sets. Sleeps up to 16 guests. 1-King bed, 2-Queen beds, 1-Full futon sofa. 4- pull out queen sleeper sofas, and 1- pull out twin sleeper sofa. To top it off, It’s expansive 21’x30’ loft outfitted with a wet bar and under-counter refrigerator is a great place for kids and grandkids to get away and spend time as the adults relax on the lake front.

    This year-around conveniently located lake get-away is an amazing way to spend time on a lake in the summer fishing and boating, enjoying spectacular fall colors, and in the winter ice fishing and snowmobiling. Extremely convenient access to the boat launch area in the summer and the Minnesota snowmobile trail system in the winter.

The house is gorgeous. We felt like we had everything we needed to be at home. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. We didn't have a chance to use the water equipment due to weather but, the fire pit is lovely and the entertainment room is cozy for movie night!

A great weekend stay

Our family had a great time here over a long October weekend. The upstairs loft was a great place for the kids and the outdoor spaces were great for enjoying the fall scenery and weather. A very pleasant experience all around.

What a wonderful property for an extended stay with family. To easy check-in the property had things for all ages. Kitchen great size for several to be in at once. Nice space on main level to lounge and see the lake. The upstairs theater was a plus for family movie night. Enjoyed lake swimming, trampoline and the shallow water for littles. Fishing was good. We can’t wait to return next year!

Perfect property for our family vacation!

We were super impressed with this vacation rental- the property was beautiful and clean, and well stocked with all the necessities! We loved cooking on the island range, the deck and porch were perfect outdoor spaces, and the dock was the nicest we’ve seen with built-in seating and shade umbrellas! The loft area was great for our teen daughter and her two friends- we didn’t even hear them from the other side of the house. Already booked again for next year!
