Log Home on Circle Lake - Now with Pickleball Court!

Vacation in a Gorgeous Log Home out in the Country on Beautiful Circle Lake!
We have tons of amenities, but everyone's favorite is the Lake! A close second are the Lake toys, including 2 brand-new fast Hydro-bikes ($5,000 worth) 2 Paddleboards, 2 Kayaks & 1 Canoe! Two log swings & a super-comfy fabric swing overlooking the Lake are amazing!

We have room for up to 10 guests in beds, in five beautiful bedrooms! Past Guests have told us we have the most comfortable beds they've ever slept in! You'll have 3,000+ square feet in the lower level, facing Circle Lake, to spread out in!

You will enter your own separate entrance on the lake-side of the house. (We live quietly upstairs, but are gone a lot travelling ourselves. Our kids are gone, and we do not have a dog.)

You'll have a Theater Room for watching TV & Movies! You'll have a full kitchen, with a square high-top table that seats 8, which is great for games! A Pool Table awaits to entertain you.

The sleeping rooms are separated with a walk thru a short hallway (only one step down) to the Kitchen/Dining Room/Game Room. That keeps the Sleeping rooms completely quiet, even when some are still playing games or watching TV.

Pontoon Rental Available on the Lake: Sunset Pontoon Rentals (Ask for contact number after booking).
2024 Rates - $450 a day plus gas

SUPER CLEAN! We have an amazing Cleaner who dis-infect all hard surfaces. They wipe down switch plates, stair railings, and other surfaces others might miss.

They use Melaleuca Cleaning Products, that are green & Eco-friendly cleaning products that contain NO harmful chemicals! Sol-U-Guard, Melaleuca's powerful disinfectant, has been proven to kill the Corona Virus, and thousand of other viruses & bacteria upon contact!

The perfect rental with the perfect host!

For our second annual summer family retreat we stayed at Steve’s absolutely stunning lakeside property outside of Faribault Minnesota and were completely blown away by the entire experience. The lakefront setting is beautiful and peaceful and even though it’s only 40 minutes from the Twin Cities it feels like you are hours away. As we pulled in we were greeted by a pod of pelicans which none of us had ever seen in MN before. The house is spotless spacious and thoughtfully decorated. It feels like a true family home and comfortably fit our group of ten without anyone feeling cramped. The views of the lake are breathtaking especially at sunset and the two large swings at the water’s edge are the perfect place to relax. Steve the owner is one of the kindest most welcoming hosts we’ve ever met. He gave us a full tour answered every question and genuinely cares about making your stay perfect. He even adds things based on past guest suggestions like sound machines in every room. It’s rare to meet someone who takes so much pride in creating an amazing guest experience. The amenities are top notch. We used the kayaks paddleboards aquabikes and lily pads every day. The lake is sandy and easy to wade into which makes it great for families with kids. There’s also a basketball and pickleball court and a fire pit right by the water. When it rained we made use of the cozy living room with a pool table theater setup and shelves full of board games. We can’t recommend this place enough!

What an awesome place

We had an amazing 4 days! The house is beautiful with a great kitchen that allowed us to cook for our large group with no problem. The yard is fantastic - we had squirt gun battles with the kids and loved watching the birds in the morning. The beach was perfect for the toddler - and we all enjoyed getting out into the water on the kayaks, hydro cycles and lily pad where we saw bald eagles and countless water birds. We'll be back for sure!

Great Get-Away

Hosted a bachelor party with 8 of my friends. It was the perfect place for us to relax yet still have things to do. The basketball court is tons of fun and it was awesome to jump in the lake right after. There is some sand and it’s up kept very well. There’s a nice doc and some water toys to use. Inside we took full advantage of the pool table and great TV room. There’s plenty of places to sleep for everyone. The hosts were awesome - communicated very quickly and made everything effortless. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you to our awesome hosts!

Our stay

The owners were very happy to make sure we had what we needed. A few requests were addressed immediately. All in all it was good. The only problem was that you had to park about 100 feet away from entrance and walk over a grassy hill. Most times wet.

Beautiful accommodations!

The level we stayed in was huge!! 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large tv viewing area, another cozier area for chatting over morning coffee. The view of the trees and lake was beautiful especially at sunset. Plenty of amenities including keurig coffee maker. Steve was a great host and very helpful. Our plan is to go again and seriously thinking we've found our forever fall getaway.

My family of 8 loved our stay here! It is such a beautiful property and has more amenities than any other VRBO we’ve stayed in. So convenient - from the fully stocked kitchen, to the BBQ grill, to the cozy blankets, to the life vests and boats for the lake. The owners are incredibly kind and very attentive.

Great for Large Family Gatherings

The property is everything you see in the pictures and more! Wonderfully soundproof, stocked with everything you need for group gatherings for cooking and eating (we brought so much stuff that was not needed/used) even had a sweet little coffee bar with kcups and a large coffee pot with filters so all you need is your favorite brew along. You wont need to drag along your own crockpots as theyve got all of that covered along with laundry right there in the unit including soaps/softner and fabric sheets & all the towels and beach towels needed. The whole place was immaculately clean and that was such a nice surprise. The beds were definitely the best we have ever slept in at any vrbo. The owners are such nice people and we really didnt notice they were there at all and they were quick to respond when we had questions. Would definitely recommend this vrbo and giving it 5 stars across the board!!!!! Thanks Steve & Julie

Circle Lake house

Great place to stay. Well laid out with quality and thought of use taken into account. Owners were in contact daily and responsive to any needs. Good place to relax and just enjoy the view. Lake was a bit green but were still able to canoe and use water bikes. Nice beach layout and again quality items - canoe, kayaks and water bikes to use as well as life jackets, etc. Nice place for small children to play in the sand. Overall one of the best places we have stayed at.

Perfect Getaway For Families Of All Ages

The property is clean and well maintained. The kitchen and living area is spacious and well appointed, complete with a great coffee bar. The layout is perfect because the bedrooms are separate from main living area, so early risers or night owls don’t disturb anyone’s rest. The pickle ball court is amazing! We enjoyed family pickle ball tournaments, lake activities, toasting marshmallows by the fire while watching the sun set on the lake. This private and serene property is a gem!

Nice getaway!

My family had a wonderful time on this property. Great home, beautiful view of the lake, and everything you might need stocked at the house for you! The owners were incredibly kind and communicated very well with us! Only downfalls: We could hear footsteps upstairs when the owners were walking around, and parking is so far away from the entrance! You need to walk across their large beautiful lawn to get to the front door. They do provide wagons to use which is nice, but it was hard for us with a baby and all the luggage/baby stuff to carry things back and forth when we wanted to leave. Also our shoes would get pretty wet walking across the lawn when the sprinklers were on or had just watered the lawn. Other than that, we had a great stay!

Big place!

This property had plenty of space for me and my 3 girlfriends: 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It has a large kitchen and living area. We had an issue with the blender not working, but another one was brought to us right away. The only thing that bothered us was the owner walked right in after knocking before we knew who it was or us saying come in. Also, the "hidden fees" such as cleaning fee were a bit of a shocker. Other than that we had a great time and made some great memories.
