Escape to a peaceful mid-century modern lakehouse nestled on 30 private acres in the Northwoods of Minnesota. With lake views from nearly every room, your own dock, an 8-person cedar sauna, and room for the whole family, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers privacy, comfort, and unforgettable nature experiences—all just minutes from Grand Rapids.
NOTE *Security Cameras monitor exterior of house*
I give guests plenty of space to relax and unwind, but I’m always available if you need anything.
If there's anything that could make your stay more comfortable, just let me know—my goal is for this space to feel like a true escape and retreat. I’m available anytime for emergencies, and during regular hours for any non-urgent questions or issues.
It’s super helpful to have good contact info for someone staying at the house, just in case I need to reach out with important updates or to resolve something quickly. If we ever need to stop by, I’ll do my best to let you know ahead of time and will always keep any disruptions to a minimum.
You’re just 10 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, and museums. Explore local trails, discover area history, or enjoy locally brewed beer.

A striking mid-century modern staircase takes you to the lower level. It is visually dramatic, architecturally iconic, and decidedly of its era. While it offers a sculptural focal point, it does not meet today's safety codes, with minimal railing and wide gaps that reflect vintage design priorities. Young children will need to be supervised.
Clean & Comfortable
We take pride in offering a spotless, well-maintained space. Our reviews speak for themselves—expect high-end linens, cozy blankets, and the kind of kitchen you’ll actually want to cook in.
Unobstructed Views
You’ll notice that we’ve chosen not to add window coverings to the cabin. This was a deliberate choice so that you can fully take in the beautiful nature views right from your windows—morning sunrises, evening sunsets, and everything in between.
To make sure you’re still able to rest comfortably, we provide sleep masks for all guests. If you’re a lighter sleeper, you may also want to bring along your favorite sleep aid to ensure a great night’s sleep.
We hope you love waking up to the beauty of nature as much as we do!
Shorter or longer stay options sometimes available upon request, cleaning fees will be adjusted accordingly. Contact us for more information.
Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions about the area or for more info. We are here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible!
