About this property

Historic Swedish Cottage on Quiet Lindstrom Lake

  • Vacation in this never before available, historic home on Quiet South Lindstrom Lake. Built in 1898, this home is on the National Historic Record of Homes, but features all the amenities of a new home including a master suite with gas fireplace, an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and an exercise room with treadmill, recumbent bike, television and weight machine. Wrap around porches and a huge deck cantilevered over the hill above the lake make for great views and relaxation rain or shine. With over 3800 square feet of living space, even the largest family or group can find privacy. PLEASE CLICK ON RATES AND AVAILABILITY - VIEW ALL RENTAL RATES - FOR SEASONAL PRICING.
    The Huge Great Room is great for gatherings, yet intimate for quiet reflection around the brick fireplace. Lots of privacy as the house is setback 200 feet from the street. You're just steps to the sand beach and dock. There's great fishing and lots of lake to explore as we are connected to neighboring Chisago Lake.
    Responsible Dog owners are welcome and will love the fenced back yard! Send us an email inquiry and we will send you our 26 page HomeBook with floor plans, photos and details about every single room and the surrounding area.

Jim’s house worked great for a few of us to stay on a family wedding weekend. Jim was very responsive before and during our stay. The home itself has plenty of room to spread out (there were 8 of us one night and 10 of us the second night). The exterior of the home needs attention and yard maintenance and upkeep. Kitchen is very well stocked.

Great getaway! Quaint cottage...quite elegant for the era it was built in. Fun week! Thanks

We enjoyed our week immensely! We were all over retirement age with several recent hip replacements, but it worked for us just great! Nice patio overlooking the lake and nice weather that allowed us to enjoy it

As parents of the bride, this was a great house and location for our family to stay and organize for the weekend. Plenty of big, open spaces for people to gather but then have their own bedroom and bathroom for getting ready.

Plenty of space for our family and pets! We had good fishing and beach area was clean for kids. Only thing is frequently touched areas ie: stair railings, doors and wood chairs could be cleaned to remove grimy surfaces. We did book again for next year

Friend sleepover!

We left the kiddos at home and had a slumber party with just us adults! It was so fun to have a night away. The full kitchen was perfect for cooking dinner & breakfast and having so many bedrooms meant only two folks had to share. It was a lovely stay!

Historic Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your expansive home. Plenty of room to sleep and for quiet time. Kitchen was well stocked. We were hoping for a larger/sandy beach for the kids to swim, but found a couple of very beautiful ones close by with parks. Love the walking distance proximity to town. The fenced-in area for the dog was great. Lovely, private setting.

The kitchen was well equipped and clean. We cooked during our stay and it had everything we needed. I loved that the owners labeled each drawer and cupboard with contents so items were easily located. The dining room table was large enough to seat all 6 of us comfortably. The house was large and provided us with plenty of space to separate for a bit of quiet time; and it stayed cozy for an old house even tho it was chilly during our fall days. We love old houses and appreciated its history so we easily embraced it for what it was. However; if you’re looking for a more modern stay, this may not be for you. Overall the house was clean, but there were areas that needed more attention (a fresh coat of paint), like the walls and railing going up the stairs to the bedrooms. All in all. We were happy with our stay, but feel that the living room and great room furniture needed to be replaced. The beds were comfortable but new/fresh comforters would have elevated those rooms immensely.

Great spot for family gathering

We had grandparents to grandchildren stay at this house and it was a nice, big space to gather and enjoy meals and time together, while also having separate sleeping "wings" for each family! Loved the charm of the older home and walkability to the park nearby, and how close it was to the City. Only drawback was the backyard and steps down to the dock - not for the elderly set or handicapped, but the cantilevered deck overlooking the lake was nice. Thank you for a wonderful time and lifelong memories!

Quintessential MInnesota Lake House

Everything you would expect from a historic Minnesota lake house. Plenty of room for everyone to gather. Easy, sandy bottom lake access. The kids and grandkids all had a great time. We just wish we would have stayed longer. We were having such a good time at the house, we never took the time to explore the town!

Beautiful lake view

The interior of the house was pretty nice. We spent a lot of time in the sunroom off the kitchen. We also really enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake. Lindstrom is a very pleasant little town. The exterior of the house was disappointing. Pictures are a bit misleading. Still enjoyed our visit.

Christmas Getaway

We had a wonderful time at Friedhem being able to spend time with family during a challenging time with my husband's health issues. It was great to be close to downtown Lindstrom and walk through town during our stay. I was able to get to Mass on foot on Christmas Eve. It was a beautiful night and we felt safe. We keep talking about the wonderful memories that were made. We were plenty warm and had more than enough space in the home to spread out. Thank you for a memorable Christmas celebration at The House of Peace!!
