The Gathering Lodge is Back!!!! The Gathering Lodge now under new ownership has been renovated into a new Modern Farmhouse look. It is under the same management and has the same relaxing, private feel with a stunning view! A new bathroom has been added to the upstairs bedrooms. We also plan to have some new activities including Frisbee golf, a sand volleyball court, a golfing tee area and mini golf putting area with 4 holes, an outdoor sauna, a hot tub, and paddle boards. New pictures to come soon!!! We will start renting out again June 2026\. Hope to see you soon! We are a beautiful, private, modern farmhouse log lodge with a beautiful view. Come and gather with family or friends in our vacation home and relax by visiting one of our great local restaurants or cook food for your whole crew in our very grand, functional kitchen. You can stay entertained with games in our game room or sit and chat to catch up with your loved ones in our cozy siting areas. In the winter we have a great sledding hill, the lake is great for ice fishing, and we are just one mile away from the central lakes snowmobile trail. In the summer, we have a beautiful view overlooking Swan Lake. Although the beach is not a great swimming beach, we have access to the lake for fishing and you can rent a pontoon, a double decker pontoon with a slide, and we do have some water toys available for your use. We are a mile away from The Pebble Lake golf course and the central lakes bike trail. We would love to have you and your family and friends come together to have a great, memorable vacation at The Gathering Lodge! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 5.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### 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. - Accessible parking space - Area rugs in public areas - Gravel flooring in public areas - Handrails in stairways - In-room accessibility - No lift - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Thin carpet in public areas - Visual alarms in hallways - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Only allowed outside in designated areas. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Next to a golf course - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Boat - Foosball table - Golf - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting 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 ### 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 6,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78400000/78397100/78397086/9ff71029.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rustic hunt club lodge in the heart of Minnesota lakes country...
