🌳 The Setting

The retreat sits on the shore of a private 55-acre lake—quiet, clean, and full of fish. Spend mornings casting a line, afternoons paddling, and evenings gathered by the fire pit under the stars.

Beyond the lake, the property borders 1,500 acres of untouched wilderness, offering miles of forest and trails. Wildlife is abundant: deer at sunrise, loons calling across the water, and eagles circling overhead.


🍂 Every Season Brings New Magic

Summer: Long days on the lake, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and campfires by the water.

Fall: Brilliant foliage, crisp hikes through the woods, cozy nights by the fire.

Winter: Snowshoeing across frozen trails, ice fishing on the lake, warm meals in the kitchen.

Spring: Blooming wildflowers, returning birdsong, and fresh energy in the woods.

✨ The Legacy of Fuller Life Retreat

This land carries a rich story. Once held by the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples, it later became home to Franciscan sisters, who built a monastery and used it as a spiritual retreat. For decades, it served as a place of devotion, quiet study, and renewal.

Today, Fuller Life Retreat continues that legacy—welcoming families, friends, and groups to gather, rest, and reconnect. While the property has been updated for modern comfort, its true spirit remains: peace, space, and connection.


🧹 Cleanliness & Care

The home is deep-cleaned after every guest stay.

A/C and updates ensure comfort year-round.

As a retreat in the woods, you may occasionally notice natural elements like pollen or a spider web—part of the authentic Minnesota lake experience. Rest assured, the home is well-maintained and prepared with care.
