About this cabin rental
Perfect setup for a week with the kids/grandkids!
- THE LOCATION -
The home is located about 1 hour from the western suburbs of the Twin Cities metro area. It is about 3 miles (10 min) north of Annandale, MN on Clearwater Lake.
Annandale is a fabulous community that has everything you might need. It has a great grocery store, well stocked liquor store and pharmacy. It has an adorable downtown that hosts cute boutiques, an Ice Cream and candy store, souvenir shops, a bowling alley (for rainy days), a farmers market on the weekends in the summer and a few bars/restaurants. It is also home to the Spilled Grain brewery and the Wright County Swappers Meet.
- THE INDOOR SPACE -
Newly renovated, well appointed lake home sleeps 12 comfortably and has all of the modern conveniences to make your stay enjoyable. The main floor has an open floor plan with the kitchen open to the family and dining room areas.
The kitchen has a huge island that provides a great space to prepare meals and to serve your crew. Equipped with a gas cooktop & oven, microwave and stainless steel refrigerator/freezer. A Blackstone griddle, gas grill and a large Big Green Egg lump charcoal grill provide plenty of cooking options for the chef of the group. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, glassware, silverware, pots, pans and pretty much any kitchen gadget you can think of. We love a great cup of coffee on the deck in the morning, so the kitchen is also equipped with a “Moccamaster” coffee maker. (not complicated, just great coffee) The dining room sits 8 comfortably with custom banquette seating. You can seat another 4 at the kitchen island. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main floor. One of the bathrooms is immediately off the kitchen, the other is more private and accessed through the “owners suite.”
The walkout lower level has a smaller prep kitchen with a large refrigerator and freezer drawer. There is another family room/gathering area equipped with a giant sectional sofa and big screen TV. It also has a dart board, foosball table and an “Marval” arcade game. The lower level has two bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry room with new front load washer and dryer so you can keep all the swimming towels dry for their next use.
- THE OUTDOOR SPACE -
Outside the lower level sliding glass door, is a paver patio and covered seating area with a dining table, “high top” pub table, sofa and chairs. There is also a queen sized day bed with a retractable canopy to snuggle up on and read a book or is great for an afternoon nap. We have wired speakers under the deck so you can have some tunes going while playing yard games and hanging out by the lake. There is also an outdoor “smart” TV to stream whatever you might want to watch. (ball game, golf, watch a movie under the moonlight) The flat yard between the patio and the lake makes a great area to play "bags." (board and bags available for you to use) There is a solo stove campfire pit available for a small campfire lake side.
The rental comes with the use of 2 Kayaks, a Paddle board and a Lily pad.
If the kids are looking for more outdoor space to burn off energy, there is about a half acre of pretty flat land across the road that makes a great area to play ball. There is also a large fire pit on that side of the road if a bonfire is more your style.
- ACTIVITIES -
At 3,186 acres, Clearwater Lake is one of the largest lakes in the area and is great for fishing. There are two public boat launches on the lake and boat renting options in the area. There are a handful of golf courses close by. The most notable local favorites include: Whispering Pines Golf Course (7mi), Albion Ridges Golf Course (13mi) and Southbrook Golf Course (5mi)

This is the best short term rental experience I have ever had! The host, Jeremy, had EXCELLENT communication before, during, and after our stay. He answered all my questions in a very timely manner, and was very kind and courteous.
The home is BEAUTIFUL! No surprises, the home is exactly as the listing shows (no weird camera angles to be deceptive). It was extremely clean, and is by far the best appointed home I have ever stayed at- all dishes, utensils and any baking/cooking supplies you would ever need is included. There was plenty of space for our group of 6 adults and four kids; the kids loved the bunk room and the separate living space in the lower level for the kids to game when they weren’t playing in the lake. And having plenty of space for all of us to sit and eat was awesome.
We utilized the Blackstone grill and propane grill (I’d never used a Blackstone before, so it was a fun introduction!) There was plenty of patio furniture outside. There was a kayak, canoe, lily pad, and paddleboard that we were able to use, and the kids LOVED all of it.
I am so very pleased with this experience. We had a great time celebrating my parent’s anniversary (and my birthday), and I’d love to find an excuse to come and stay here again. You won’t be disappointed!

It's always nice to stay in a property that is exactly as represented on the listing. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking large meals, all good appliances and good quality cookware. The kids spent hours in the water on the lily pad, the paddle board, kayak and fishing off the dock. The two separate living rooms gave us the space for different activities. The owner was extremely helpful, offered advice and responded to questions quickly. Stores were minutes away, so we didn't have to take too much time away from the lake to get food.

We went here on a family vacation and had a fantastic time! It is a wonderful property, and Jeremy (owner) was great about communication and answering questions. The property was very clean and is obviously well cared for. Our family enjoyed the great outdoor spaces, swimming, playing in the sand, and using the kayaks and paddleboard. The kids also really enjoyed the arcade game in the basement too. The beds were comfortable, the grill and griddle came in handy, and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The sofa and TV area worked well on a rainy day for a family movie. There is also a foosball table, darts, lifejackets, footballs to toss around, bags/cornhole, beach towels, a couple of forks for roasting marshmallows, and the owners even left Smores ingredients for us. There is also a Solo stove, outdoor and indoor speakers for playing music, and a larger fire pit area across the road with plenty of firewood to use. We rented a pontoon for a couple of the days we were there and Jeremy had a great recommendation of an inlet to go to for swimming/jumping off the boat. The dining room table worked well for meals and playing games and there was also plenty of seating for meals outside too. Although the weather could have cooperated better, it was a wonderful time, and we really appreciate Jeremy and his family sharing their great property with us and making us feel welcomed and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

There were 8 adults, 1 teenager, 2 toddlers and 1 infant in our group. The swimming was good for all of us, including the toddlers who also enjoyed playing in the sandy area with their pails and shovels. Adults loved the many outdoor and indoor comfortable seating options. We all loved hearing the lions and other birds. The fishing off the dock was also a bonus-small sunfish for the youngsters. Seating areas inside were perfect and we enjoyed cooking on the grill and eating on the patio. Overall everything at this lake house was perfect.

The pictures do not do this place justice. We had a magical stay here on the lake. The view is absolutely stunning and there are windows everywhere you look. We used the kayaks and paddleboard as much as we could. There’s corn hole and other games and tons of outside seating to enjoy the view. Kids were occupied either fishing from the dock, enjoying the water, or playing in the game room. From the house you can see a nice sunrise and sunset and even see the reflection of the moon on the water. The owners thought of every detail: beach towels, bug spray, sunscreen, solo stove, bbq, green egg, blackstone, even coffee if we needed it. We only wish we could stay longer.

We came back to MN for grandma's funeral. It was a great place to be together and share memories.
