We bought this 1979 A-frame to give our kids an experience unique to Minnesota and it is our favorite place in the world. When we are not around we want others to have that same experience. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 9 guests. Nicely shaded and sitting amongst the trees, you can enjoy views of the lake from the cozy living room, kitchen or deck. There’s ample seating on the deck for outdoor dining. Inside, there’s a breakfast bar located in the open and well equipped kitchen. The sandy beach is accessible by stairs, is mostly shaded and is a great spot for lounging or making sand castles. In addition our property has a field for throwing the ball around, yard games, or other sports. You have access to a dock and you may use the lift (no cover) for your own boat. Please let us know ahead of time if you need the lift. The place is perfect for year round recreation. During the fall months enjoy the beautiful changing colors by kayaking on the lake, relaxing on the deck or hiking on the many hiking trails in the area. A bonfire on the beach is a must while here, staying warm and cozy during the fall crisp evenings. Winter months here will also not disappoint. The Tree House is of course warm and cozy inside but the the adventures during the the winter months outside are not to be missed. The Tree House cabin during the month of December is decked out for the season to be together with family and friends to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. The cabin offers its own ice-skating rink all lit up with lights. We have a variety of ice skates to offer. The cabin also comes with ice fishing gear, including a 2 man flip over house, ice auger and poles. The cabin also has easy access to snowmobile trails for those that maybe need a spot to stay for a weekend filled with snowmobiling. If skiing is your thing, Powder Ridge ski and sledding hill is only a 15-minute drive away! The fun is endless during the long winter months. When Spring is in the air the anticipation of the thaw and thoughts of summer are on the the horizon. Lake thaw and the abundance of nature comes home and it is like no other feeling when you are on the lake. It's the perfect time to come to stay and take in the feeling of joy which follows winter and the excitement of summer coming to life. \*Younger children should be supervised at all times on the deck and walking up and down the stairs to the beach. Getting to and from the beach requires climbing stairs. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Water sports equipment - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109030000/109024800/109024771/4d17c8a0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Watkins Lake House With Large Lot And Dock Watkins - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=109024771&PinnedHotelID=109024771&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82970000/82962400/82962365/2aed3feb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Watkins Lake House With large Lot and Dock Watkins - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=82962365&PinnedHotelID=82962365&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37240000/37234000/37233985/640501f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Horseshoe Hideout - Cabin ready for you to enjoy!

The kitchen was equipped with more than what we expected. Beautiful view over-looking the lake from inside or out on the deck. It would be fun to come back during warmer weather to use the beach area with paddle boat, etc. We hope to be back next year! Thank you! ##### Mary Ann T.

The cabin was clean and spacious with plenty of room for all to eat, play games, and hang out in the living room/kitchen area, on the deck, or on the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked with the basic utensils, plus lots of little things that were surprising to see and great to have, like corn-on-the-cob holders and a reusable Keurig pod. The gas grill and fire pit were perfect, and the water toys (lily pad, kayaks, paddleboat, kid sand toys) were a special treat for us all! ##### Carolyn J.

We were very pleased with the fully stocked kitchen, the comfy living room furniture, the plethora of blankets and pillows, the relaxing fireplace, and the comfy beds. The view from the living room/deck is so awesome at night, and you can go to sleep with the stars if you choose the loft. We contacted the managers a couple of times - immediate responses. Our stay was in November, and it was oh, so quiet! Truly enjoyed our stay at The Tree House! ##### Chris W.

We loved everything about our stay! The cabin is secluded but yet close enough to Annandale/St. Cloud if you are looking for things to do. The beach and lake area was perfect for swimming. The host was very quick to respond to any questions I had and all instructions were communicated clearly. Would definitely recommend this cabin and would love to come back! ##### Amanda O. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jacob H. 20 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### It was fine Check in process was clunky as there was nobody but a neighbor in the vicinity to help. They use a Wi-Fi driven lock system. I am sure it works most of the time,but was a hassle for my crew to wait for communication. When they figured that out we had to wait for them to contact the neighbor and for them to get over. Not an amazing feeling. ##### Jacob H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ---
