AMAZING waterfront + can’t beat this location!
Our family of four had a blast at this cabin. It’s right on the waterfront with everything you need for a lovely weekend. A gorgeous deck overlooking the water. Lots of chairs to sun yourself, a small sandy beach for the kiddos, a huge firepit, picnic table so you can eat outside, fishing deck, swimming raft, kid’s fort and a plane teeter totter our children loved.
If you enjoy being outdoors, this is the place for you. It’s a short drive from the Twin Cities and easy to find. Fishing is great right off the deck – we caught at least 20 fish. The cabin has everything you need – swim towels, cooking supplies and comfy beds. One thing to know about the cabin is the shower is in the bathroom (shower curtain only) so can be a bit tricky.
The location on the waterfront was excellent. We didn’t have a boat, but the boat ramp is about three minutes away and it’s less than a 10 minute drive to Annandale. The town of Annandale was such a treat! They have a cute downtown with shops, ice cream and bars. And it has lots of festivals and activities. The grocery store is big and right off Hwy 55 so you can stock up on everything you need for your visit.
I can’t recommend this place enough!
