Beautiful Get Away for any season only ONE Hour from the Twin Cities!

Beautiful Lake House within an hour’s drive of the Twin Cities

This peaceful lake home is located only 1 hour out of the Twin Cities! 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.

The house worked great for our family gathering. The kids especially liked having the loft area as their “hangout”. Lots of space for different activities. The nice big kitchen worked well with multiple cooks.

A great weekend stay
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.

Family vacation
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!

Perfect property for our family vacation!
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!

Great Place for Family Gathering!!
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!!

Family Fun
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!
