About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to The Beach House!!

Welcome to the Beach House!!

This little piece of heaven is just what you've been looking for...and it is less than a one hour drive from the Twin Cities!!

It is the perfect place for families to relax, reconnect and have a whole lot of fun!!

The cabin has been stylishly decorated. You will feel the beachy vibes the minute you walk through the door.

There is a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a large fridge, oven/stove, microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, etc.

There is also a brand new gas grill and a Blackstone on the deck that you are welcome to use! There's nothing better than cooking breakfast on the Blackstone while looking at the beautiful lake!

The Outdoor space is where it's at! There are 2 large decks with plenty of seating, tables and space to share outdoor meals, 2 cement patios, 2 fire pits, and a comfy outdoor couch with an umbrella providing the perfect place to read or sneak in an afternoon nap.

The sandy beach is likely where you will want to spend most of your time!

We even have a kayak, canoe, 2 paddle boards, a water carpet, paddle boat and a swimming raft that you are welcome to use!


Fun things to do:

• If you bring your boat, make sure to go through the channel to Little Maple, anchor & float in the “Swimming Hole”. It’s a perfect place to chill on the water carpet! There are two public launches on the lake, the larger one is located on Hwy 55 and a smaller launch is on Hwy 37.

The best fishing spots : 🎣
• Bass and crappies and sunfish: right off our dock! Cast towards the swimming platform, the neighbors dock or drop a line right under our dock
• Walleye: directly across just off the point (so we’ve been told, we still haven’t caught one ourselves ) 😂

• Our favorite paddling route is to the point which is to the right when you are looking at the water. There is a great sandbar to hang out on and you
can walk around and check out the big lake

If you want to explore the area, check out:

Wright County Swapper’s Meet (if you like flea markets/junk )

Lake Maria State Park

And if it rains the Albertville Premium Outlets are less than 20 mins
away 😉

Great Places to Eat/Drink:

Irish Blessings Coffeehouse (The Sweet & Sassy breakfast sandwich and the Avocado toast are DELISH ) 😋

Maddigans (Prime Rib is AMAZING and they deliver!!)

Norm’s Wayside (it’s a biker bar but there is a great outdoor patio and the deep dish pizza & Messy Burger will blow your mind!!)

Spilled Grain Brewhouse

Mill Creek Inn (best bloody mary around!!)

Groceries/supplies:
• Basics are available at the “Country Store”/gas station

• There is a great grocery store in Annandale called “The Marketplace”
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 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.

Great spot!

Nice home on the lake, all as advertised. This house is clearly used by the family who owns it when not used by renters…so items are understandably not brand new, but a bit used and worn. We were able to make everything work!

Great Lake Hideaway!

Host were amazing and the place was fabulous! The family got together from across the country and had a great time. The lake is stunning and they provide toys so that you can play in the water. The only possible downside for some could be that it just has one bathroom however there were six adults and baby and we had no issues. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a lake retreat in the area!

Lake house for a small family

Great lake house vacation spot for a small family. The use of the kayaks, paddleboards, and the offshore platform really made the home a great spot for a summer getaway with kids. Leah and Jeff were easy to communicate with and we would definitely stay again.

Close to the cities but feels "up north"!

The Beach House is close the cities but still has an "up north" feel. The cabin is smaller (no kitchen table - just beware if it rains) but the decor inside is very well done. Cabin was very clean aside from the shower, although I suspect this is from the hard well water. We enjoyed the multiple levels/options to spend time outdoors. We appreciated the water toys that were available. The swimming area beach was weedier than we anticipated so our kids didn't spend as much time in the water as they wanted, but we enjoyed the small sandy beach and bonfires on the patio!

Nice retreat

Wonderful place close to the cities. Lake life with tons of extra things (black stone grill and water toys). Even had neighbors who offered to take our kids fishing. Lots of stairs to get to water, but worth it. Wonderful stay for anyone looking for a getaway.

An amazing lake space for the whole family

Our family of 5 enjoyed our time at The Beach House. The lake had everything we wanted. We were able to catch different types of fish off the dock and the raft. The paddle boards, kayak, water carpet and raft got a ton of use. The adults enjoyed the shaded deck by the lake where we were able to keep an eye on the kids while relaxing. The only con to the outdoor space was the number of stairs (35ish) between the lake and the cabin. The first night I made at multiple trips back and forth getting things but was smarter the next day and loaded everything we could need up in a big bag. Then we only had to trek back up to the cabin to use the bathroom and eat meals. Just something to be aware of if you have tiny kiddos. Our 4 year old did fine as long as he wasn't carrying anything. We used the table on the deck for all of our lunches and dinners with ease. There were multiple trays and large cutting boards available to carry things in and out. Nightly fires with smores were a great little treat before bed. The cabin itself was a bit smaller than expected but still worked well for our family of 5. We do wish there would have been bathroom washcloths and a throw blanket or two in the living room would have been great. We were surprised to find the beds unmade upon arrival. They all had clean bedding folded neatly on each bed but we were not prepared to run around making beds when we got there. As expected with a cabin in a wooded area on a lake, there were lots of bugs both inside and out. Not a big deal for the most part but something to be mindful of if you have a fear of spiders. We saw loons and a ton of chipmunks that would come right up on the deck. We had fun making up names for them and watching them scurry around. The Beach House was exactly what our family needed to get away for a few days before going back to school. We would recommend this space to anyone looking to spend time outside on the lake. We will likely be back at some point in the future.

Wonderful lakefront location

We had a great stay at the beach house. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and more! We enjoyed using all the beach toys especially the lily pad, paddle boards and kayaks. The boys caught so many sunnies and bass off the dock. Evenings were always ended with a bonfire! A couple days were raining but we checked out the Monticello Community Center. We highly recommend a day pass as there is plenty to do for kids! Check in and out was seamless thanks to the hosts. We will definitely look at staying again.

Great place close to the Twin Cities for a family weekend get away! One of our days was cloudy, cool weather but enjoyed the brewery in Annandale and the bakery in Maple Lake...don't let gluten free scare you away...yum! Fires by the lake each night were amazing. Our daughter even caught a large mouth bass...casting off the dock toward the swim platform! Enjoyed having access to the water toys and the blackstone outdoor griddle was great for cooking all our meals.

Awesome view and water activities

Was a wonderful vacation, love the view and water activities and outdoor area!! Indoor only things whatsoever, was I killed a lot of bugs/spiders inside and I wish I'd have known no table inside/lots outside though!! There was only 4 bath towels, but we had plenty of towels with, so no biggie. Now that's pretty amazing for only issues whatsoever!! Loved our time there!! Now, the owners just need to buy out a neighbor's house, so we can have an even bigger family gathering there!! :)

Beautiful cozy cabin was a great space for our family of 4 with room for more. We enjoyed paddle boards and boat, water carpet, swimming, and catching endless fish morning and evening off the dock. Perfect entertainment for the kids after a long day of swimming! Dining on the patio under the canopy of the trees and breakfast on the Blackstone made meals effortless and cleanup easy. Clean comfortable property with all you need and want! Would highly recommend and stay again!

Girls weekend!

This was the perfect area for what we wanted to do! We didn’t want to spend hours on the road getting somewhere. We wanted some sun and fun on the water! There was a number of water toys for us to use which was nice cause we didn’t have to drag things along other than some floaty’s. Meal prep was great having the Blackstone, especially since we had a few people that knew how to use it! Sleeping accommodations were also great! We were very comfortable. I was saying to my daughter that we may have to look at doing a vacation here for our entire, little, family!
