Situated on west side of Little Elk Lake (near Zimmerman, MN) and sits on a 1 acre wooded property with a breathtaking, southeast facing, view of the lake front perfect for spectacular sunrises. A dock for you to fish from and secure your boat or perhaps jet skis.
Recently, the house was beautifully updated with a stunning kitchen to include a wine cooler. Outfitted with new furniture. It’s just simply stated, a perfect place to relax with family and friends, enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning on the patio or perhaps enjoy a glass of wine in the evening as the sun sets. Sleeps up to 16 guests. 1-King bed, 2-Queen beds, 1-Full futon sofa. 4- pull out queen sleeper sofas, and 1- pull out twin sleeper sofa. To top it off, It’s expansive 21’x30’ loft outfitted with a wet bar and under-counter refrigerator is a great place for kids and grandkids to get away and spend time as the adults relax on the lake front.
This year-around conveniently located lake get-away is an amazing way to spend time on a lake in the summer fishing and boating, enjoying spectacular fall colors, and in the winter ice fishing and snowmobiling. Extremely convenient access to the boat launch area in the summer and the Minnesota snowmobile trail system in the winter.

This was my second time staying here and it was just as good as the first time. House is very clean and completely stocked with everything you could need. Kitchen is well appointed. Beds and furniture are very comfortable. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Yard is beautifully manicured. Joan is a great host. I can't wait to go back again!

We hosted a girls weekend and had an absolute blast. It was perfectly located just an hour away from the cities and was big enough to give everyone their space yet had a cozy vibe to spend meaningful time with your favorite people!
We used their dock to store our rented boat, which worked great. And spent most of our time sitting on their patio taking in the beautiful view.
Joan was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. Would definitely return!

We had the absolute best time! This house was perfect for our entire family including our two toddlers. The house was clean, family friendly, and absolutely beautiful. The dock was excellent for little ones to play by. Having the additional kayaks available was also a huge plus! This vacation was memorable to say the least. We are already looking forward to our next vacation in Zimmerman!

We loved this property for our summer weekend with our kids and grandkids!
The home is large enough to accommodate all of us, it's well kept, very clean and well stocked. The grand kids loved the large movie/tv room which they designated as "their space" when they were inside.
The home sits on a beautiful piece of lakefront property with ample space on both a patio and a deck.
We enjoyed fishing off the dock plus tubing and swimming in the lake. We will definitely stay here again!!

We were super impressed with this vacation rental- the property was beautiful and clean, and well stocked with all the necessities! We loved cooking on the island range, the deck and porch were perfect outdoor spaces, and the dock was the nicest we’ve seen with built-in seating and shade umbrellas! The loft area was great for our teen daughter and her two friends- we didn’t even hear them from the other side of the house. Already booked again for next year!

This property has plenty of room for lots of family fun. The house is inviting with a good size kitchen, living room that looks out to the lake and a huge loft for really spreading out, watching a movie on the big screen or for playing games. There is a great yard and fire pit for making s'mores and just enjoying a fire. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends!

This place is perfect for a family gatherings. The kitchen was large and held everything you needed. The beds are very comfortable and there is space for everyone. The large bonus room was fantastic! We were able to move around and never felt crowded. We even had the chance to watch a movie on the projection TV. It felt like you were in a movie theater. The views of the lake were excellent. Thank you for the perfect venue for our daughter's 40th birthday celebration.

Our family had a great time here over a long October weekend. The upstairs loft was a great place for the kids and the outdoor spaces were great for enjoying the fall scenery and weather. A very pleasant experience all around.

Wonderful property for our whole family. Kids and grandkids alike. Sandpit was loved by the toddlers, older kids enjoyed swimming and fishing. Property was very clean and beds were comfortable. Extra towels were appreciated and the bonus room was perfect for our large group. Three extra beds up there and a great video game/movie room. We all had space to spread out. Great weather (hot) but when it was time to rest, we loved the air conditioned house. Laundry was a bonus. Thanks for a great stay!

Joan is just such a joy to have as an owner, great communication, easy peasy check in and it truly feels like home. The backyard is more gorgeous than the photos can show, the dock with the built in chairs and umbrellas, the use of the kayaks, tubes, life jackets, and a gorgeous fire pit, you almost feel guilty staying inside but there is room for everyone to relax and the kids are over the moon with the bonus room. The beds are so comfortable and we loved all the extra pillows and blankets along with enough towels for a large group and beach towels. The kitchen is perfect for cooking for a large group and is very well stocked. We knew from last year so we brought our own shampoo, body wash and extra paper towels and toilet paper. She starts you off with the basics but the store is only 5 minutes away. We just chose to bring extra along.
Lawn games, board games, plenty of tvs and steaming , good wifi ( we had one working from a laptop and teens on devices and no issues ) . This is the perfect spot for families with kids of all ages. The water at the shoreline is shallow enough for even toddlers to swim. Highly recommend and we look forward to booking our next trip!

Wonderful getaway for three families! The loft was great for 6 kiddos to sleep plus the huge TV for movie nights. The fire pit was relaxing and the dock with chairs and tables were great. The grill was great for cooking too. Overall we had a wonderful family vacation.

The property was just as listed - and it was perfect for a family gathering. There are so many options for seating, indoors and out. The loft area was great for kids. Everything was clean and comfortable. Even with the bedrooms right next to each other, we never heard each other. Conveniently located between Zimmerman and Princeton. We enjoyed every bit of the house and would consider it again!

My friends and I stayed here over new years and had a fantastic time. The place really does accommodate 16 people!! The spacious kitchen worked well for cooking for large numbers and the loft was a great spot to watch the ball drop. All the couches pulled out into beds so no one was left on the floor! We even took the liberty to clean some snow off the ice to play some boot hockey. It was simply amazing. We hope to return :)

Our family of 5 enjoyed our Autumn stay while in town for a wedding. The home is very clean and well appointed. The large screen projector tv was a hit for movies and football games. Sadly, the weather turned cold so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor amenities, but the fire pit and outdoor areas looked awesome. We’ll have to come back in the summer!

Beautiful location. Great room upstairs was amazing for all the teens and adult gamers.

We just wanted a long weekend away on a lake in the fall and not have to travel too far. This home met those requirements perfectly! The kids enjoyed kayak rides with grandpa, playing in the sand around the fire pit, riding their bikes around the roundabout driveway, and hanging out in the upper theatre room. The adults enjoyed the views, fall color and time with family. It ended up not working for us to bring our dogs with but the house is definitely dog friendly!
We enjoyed our time here and would absolutely consider a repeat stay next year!

I was lucky enough to stay a month at this beautiful lake house. Everything was wonderful from the landscaping to interior of the house. There are lots of different spaces for everyone to spread out and relax. Loved the chairs with umbrellas at the dock. The deck and back patio were great. House was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed and more. Beds are extremely comfortable. Loft space was great fore the kids to hang out. We had such a great time it was hard to leave. We will definitely be back.

First let me say that our family had rented a property every summer for the past 6 years (in this same price point) and by far this was the best one yet! Usually we find that the photos sugar coat a few areas, this property the photos don’t even do it justice! From the moment we opened the doors to a lovely note, a box of chocolates & a bottle of wine welcoming us , we were blown away by the quality of the home, the cleanliness was EXCEPTIONAL, and the view- stunning!
We arrived on a rainy Sunday with 2 children in tow, and to their surprise the movie room had an Xbox (with appropriate games for a family ) so they were in heaven as we unpacked. We loved the provided board games as well. The gourmet kitchen had plenty of room for everyone to mingle while we prepared meals and the beds were SO comfortable and an entire closet of extra blankets and pillows made sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. The 3 ( yes 3!) pullout sofas in the movie room ended up being a favorite spot to sleep and even this grandma took a nap up there on one and couldn’t believe how comfortable they were.
Having 3 bathrooms was such a plus and with 2 showers plus a large tub, we had no issues with anyone having to wait to shower off at the end of the day.
The dock is one of the best features of the home, with stationary swivel chairs & umbrellas we could all be down there either with kids in the shallow sandy ( great for swimming ) area to fishing off the dock. My 9 year old grandson caught about 30 fish right off the dock and even caught a large mouth bass. We used the row boat and the kayaks and loved that life jackets and even floaties were available. The 2 stunning decks with tables & chairs and umbrellas had us eating outside most of the time overlooking the view and 2 resident eagles that soared around us for most of the days. ( so we kept a close eye on our 6 pound Yorkie.lol) . We loved that it was a pet friendly home and even provided a dog food & water bowl and waste bags for yard pick up. The ONLY thing that I suggest if you decide to reserve this home ( which we will DEFINITELY do again !) is to bring your own toiletries and paper products and any spices or cooking supplies you may need . They do start you off with some paper towels and toilet paper and are very clear about that in the welcome book and stores are only 5 minutes away so it’s easy to go grab more but if you don’t want to leave , I suggest you bring what you may need. Highly recommend!!

We stayed for 3 nights in August and had a great time! This home is very clean. With three families, the layout was spacious and comfortable. There were 3 bedrooms for the 6 adults, and a loft/theater room big enough for our 9 kids to sleep (we brought extra air mattresses). Plenty of extra blankets, bath and beach towels, and pillows. Loved spending time on the two decks, the dock, and the lake! Owner is very quick to respond to questions.

Something for everyone
We are a family of introverts and this property allowed all of us the space we needed while doing all the different activities we enjoy. The management was amazing, accommodating and quick to respond when contacted. All age groups enjoyed their time at this VRBO.

Together again after the pandemic
Together again after the pandemic. We thoroughly enjoyed this amazing wonderful home and lake! The kitchen was beautiful!
