Cozy Winter Getaway-The Tree House-Sleeps 10
We bought this 1979 A-frame to give our kids an experience unique to Minnesota and it is our favorite place in the world. When we are not around we want others to have that same experience. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 9 guests. Nicely shaded and sitting amongst the trees, you can enjoy views of the lake from the cozy living room, kitchen or deck. There’s ample seating on the deck for outdoor dining. Inside, there’s a breakfast bar located in the open and well equipped kitchen. The sandy beach is accessible by stairs, is mostly shaded and is a great spot for lounging or making sand castles. In addition our property has a field for throwing the ball around, yard games, or other sports. You have access to a dock and you may use the lift (no cover) for your own boat. Please let us know ahead of time if you need the lift. The place is perfect for year round recreation.
During the fall months enjoy the beautiful changing colors by kayaking on the lake, relaxing on the deck or hiking on the many hiking trails in the area. A bonfire on the beach is a must while here, staying warm and cozy during the fall crisp evenings.
Winter months here will also not disappoint. The Tree House is of course warm and cozy inside but the the adventures during the the winter months outside are not to be missed. The Tree House cabin during the month of December is decked out for the season to be together with family and friends to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. The cabin offers its own ice-skating rink all lit up with lights. We have a variety of ice skates to offer. The cabin also comes with ice fishing gear, including a 2 man flip over house, ice auger and poles. The cabin also has easy access to snowmobile trails for those that maybe need a spot to stay for a weekend filled with snowmobiling. If skiing is your thing, Powder Ridge ski and sledding hill is only a 15-minute drive away! The fun is endless during the long winter months.
When Spring is in the air the anticipation of the thaw and thoughts of summer are on the the horizon. Lake thaw and the abundance of nature comes home and it is like no other feeling when you are on the lake. It's the perfect time to come to stay and take in the feeling of joy which follows winter and the excitement of summer coming to life.
*Younger children should be supervised at all times on the deck and walking up and down the stairs to the beach. Getting to and from the beach requires climbing stairs.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Perfect Cabin for Girlfriend Weekend
We had a group of six middle aged women, and we thought the beautiful cabin was perfect. It is very clean, quaint and comfortable. The communication with the host and throughout the cabin was excellent. Overall, we could not be happier with our stay.

Girls Trip on the lake
This property was beautiful and well-kept, it was perfect for our annual girls’ trip! There was great access to the lake and plenty of spots indoors and outdoors for reading and playing board games. We are definitely considering returning next year!

Close by
We truly enjoyed this property for a small group of ladies, in town for a church conference. It was the perfect location. Close by to town and necessities but tranquil on the lake. Great gathering place to connect and unwind.

It was fine
Check in process was clunky as there was nobody but a neighbor in the vicinity to help. They use a Wi-Fi driven lock system. I am sure it works most of the time,but was a hassle for my crew to wait for communication. When they figured that out we had to wait for them to contact the neighbor and for them to get over. Not an amazing feeling.

Comfy and Relaxing
The Tree House is comfy and welcoming with the seasonal decorations and the Tree House Tips! We were very pleased with the fully stocked kitchen, the comfy living room furniture, the plethora of blankets and pillows, the relaxing fireplace, and the comfy beds. The view from the living room/deck is so awesome at night, and you can go to sleep with the stars if you choose the loft. We contacted the managers a couple of times - immediate responses. Our stay was in November, and it was oh, so quiet! Truly enjoyed our stay at The Tree House!

MEA Get-Together
Great place to stay for our group of five (over 50) women. The kitchen was equipped with more than what we expected. Beautiful view over-looking the lake from inside or out on the deck. It would be fun to come back during warmer weather to use the beach area with paddle boat, etc. We hope to be back next year! Thank you!

Perfect spot for a lake getaway
This was the perfect place for our group of six friends and two kids to hang out for a summer long weekend. The cabin was clean and spacious with plenty of room for all to eat, play games, and hang out in the living room/kitchen area, on the deck, or on the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked with the basic utensils, plus lots of little things that were surprising to see and great to have, like corn-on-the-cob holders and a reusable Keurig pod. The gas grill and fire pit were perfect, and the water toys (lily pad, kayaks, paddleboat, kid sand toys) were a special treat for us all!

Girls Weekend Getaway
Myself and 7 other ladies stayed here for a girls weekend getaway. We loved everything about our stay! The cabin is secluded but yet close enough to Annandale/St. Cloud if you are looking for things to do. The beach and lake area was perfect for swimming. The host was very quick to respond to any questions I had and all instructions were communicated clearly. Would definitely recommend this cabin and would love to come back!
