About this property

4- Bedroom Luxury on Two Lakes and 32 Private Acres

We began sharing our lake home, the Lady Slipper Lodge, with our VRBO guests about 15 years ago. During the summer months, we only rent from Saturday to Friday. During the rest of the year we rent any time for a minimum of three nights.

The Lady Slipper Lodge sits on 32 wooded acres on a point between two lakes and is the only privately owned land on one of the lakes and we share the other lake with only one other lake home. So, if you like nature, privacy and serenity, this wooded paradise is for you.

The kitchen in the lodge is newly remodeled, modern and fully equipped with 2022 LG Appliances and everything else you will need. We are located in the heart of the Chippewa National Forest in north central Minnesota just 3 1/2 hours north of the Twin Cities. The lakes have great fishing with a 47' deep 80-acre lake and a 25' deep 60-acre lake. There is a public access that can usually be used if you have a four-wheel drive. You can also boat from one lake to the other. The Lodge is just 90' from the the lakes on both sides with a gradual slope and there is a lake view out of every window and nothing but forest for as far as you can see.

Our 32 acres are full of walking trails and the property is close to logging roads, snowmobile trails and ATV trails as well. You would need to go miles to the north, east or west before you would run into another home or cabin. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to for you.

Although we know that most young people are responsible, we prefer to rent to families and to groups of experienced adults.

Peaceful and private getaway
The location and privacy is what makes this place an excellent getaway to recharge the batteries. There is really only one other place on the entire lake. We had 6 days of complete privacy as the only boat on the lake. It is so nice to only hear the sounds of wildlife (loons, ducks, trumpeter swans, and others) during our entire stay. The real surprise was the internet was fantastic - we streamed plenty of shows/movies on the rainy day with no freezes or problems. The owner Tony was easy to work with and shared his personal contact information right away. Very quick to respond and share fishing tips as well. This was probably our best VRBO stay ever. Highly recommended.

Amazing Privacy
We chose this property for the clear lakes to fish and boat in and the seclusion in the forest. We were not disappointed! The pontoon boat was wonderful for our crew and so easy to use for fishing. What a thrill to be startled by 2 trumpter swans gliding out of the cattails as I kayaked the perimeter of the lake. The loons did not disappoint us with their antics and calls. We also saw a blue heron, kingfisher, chipmunk, beaver, turtle, eagle, deer, turkeys, and geese. The ultimate highlight was the BEAR! We took the pontoon boat out for one last ride before we left, and my husband spotted this black shape. We couldn't get very close due to the lily pads, but we got some blurry pictures. He was probably munching berries like my husband and I had been the day before, along the North Country Trail. The mattresses are great, with plenty of space for our group of 11. I was grateful for the use of the washer and dryer. We brought our own bikes. It's a great area to bike in, even the trails in the woods. We biked to Graves Lake and Cedar Lake and another day, into Remer for lunch. Thanks so much for sharing so we could enjoy God's marvelous creation!

Great time had by all!
Our family had an amazing time at LSL! Beautiful, very private, and peaceful! Our group of 8 consisted of my husband, our four adult children, two of their significant others, and our two Huskies. There was a ton of outdoor space to play yard games and let the dogs run about. The lake was deep, crystal clear, and the pontoon was a fabulous extra feature. Plenty of room for everyone to fish and swim off of. The home is beautiful inside and the kitchen is top-notch when cooking for larger groups. With one day of rain, we made good use of the pool table and held a wicked cribbage tournament. :) We lost power on our second day and texted the maintenance person Fred. He responded to us right away! After checking with the power company it turned out something had happened in the city causing us to lose power. A neighbor from down the street also came to check in on us to make sure we were ok. The power was back on within two hours. We appreciated the great communication and thoughtfulness of those nearby. There were a few items that needed minor repairs but overall it was a phenomenal stay! Thank you Tony for opening up your wonderful space for others to enjoy!

Needs TLC
First impression as we drove up to the home was not "Exceptional" as advertised. The landscaping around the home needed attention. We noticed that there were weeds and the outdoor furniture was old, dirty and had mildew. The outdoor stairs up to the doorway lacked attention and needed to be stained. The outside of the home lacked the TLC to make it categorized as "Exceptional". The inside of the home lacked the attention to detail as many of the window blinds were inoperable. Many windows were also inoperable due to missing crank handles. Master shower door needs updating as it would not shut correctly. Master bedroom patio door handle was broke. There is a beautiful wrap around deck that we did not use due to the lack of nice furniture. Fire pit lacked nice furniture. Stairway walls to the lower level was partially painted. Flooring in the game room was only partially finished. We could not swim due to the weeds and lily pads not being cleared, to allow you to swim out to the swim raft. Just needed a path to be cleared. The taxidermy can be a bit overwhelming. This is a beautiful home that is not keeping up with the needed maintenance of the home. Pro's: There are row boats, canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets etc. The kitchen is "Exceptional". The ATV and walking trails are beautiful. Privacy, Privacy, Privacy !! It was awesome.

Wonderful up north getaway
We had an amazing time staying at LSL. The home amenities were fantastic, the kitchen offers much more than you expect, and such gorgeous views. We selected this location for the large space to host a big group that’s close to ATV trails. Although we would have loved to have been able to jump on the trails from the home the 10 to 25 mile truce to parking was no issue. Definitely a recommended place to stay if you are looking for the quiet, up north experience.

We had a great time getting away from everything. Very relaxing. We only saw 1 boat during our entire stay. Cabin is beautiful and the description doesn’t do it justice. Tony was very helpful with any questions we had. Thank you for allowing our family to enjoy such a peaceful and relaxing place. We will definitely return.

Peaceful Nature Retreat
We loved the serenity and privacy of the property. The lakes were client and crystal clear. The kids loved fishing, canoeing and swimming. My husband and I (and our dog) loved walking the trails and spotting birds. There were three green herons nesting nearby. It was a lovely spot. The owners were helpful and responsive to our various questions and requests, even going so far as to call us to warn us of some bad weather that was potentially heading our way. We heartily recommend this property.

Amazing place to get away!
The Lodge is an amazing property that gives you a chance to get off the map and enjoy great company. A quick walk gave us a chance to ice fish and the cabin itself was perfect for a group ready to cook big meals and enjoy hours of activities.

“Paradise In The Woods”
As soon as you get off the main road to head to the Lodge you start to feel how relaxing and quiet that it all of a sudden becomes. You then see the lodge that’s nestled on the point of two lakes and tucked away deep in the woods. From that point on everything that you would think that a getaway home should be, becomes a reality. The rest you need to experience for yourselves. You will never forget it! Serenity!

Amazing Place to Relax & Stay!
This place is a gem. My husband and I, and our two dogs were lucky enough to spend a week at Lady Slipper Lodge. The property is on 32 acres and so quiet. It was so relaxing listening to the loons, watching wildlife, we boated, fished off the dock, hiked on the trails. The owners have every amenity that you could possibly desire, both inside the cabin and outside. The kitchen has every pot and pan, utensil, etc...it truly felt like home and best of all is the owner is a joy to coordinate your stay with you. We hope to be back next year. Thank you for opening up your beautiful home to others!

Perfect private getaway. Large enough for the entire family. Well furnished with everything you need
Weather was perfect until checkout day. This was the perfect, secluded getaway our family was looking for. Fish, swim, kayak and boat, 4-wheelers, bike.... we did it all. And relax. It was want we wanted. The lodge was well furnished. I can’t say we ever said “I wished we had this with us”. A fabulous stay that we will always remember and definitely return

About the host

Hosted by Tony J Elfelt

Host profile image
Denise and I live in Nowthen, MN, which is a rural community 45 minutes north of Minneapolis. We have three adult children and ten grandchildren. We run an auction company called AAA Auction. I am a retired lawyer, a real estate broker and an auctioneer.

Why they chose this property

As a teenager, I camped and fished at Big Winnie quite a bit. I loved to hunt grouse too and on our trips to Winnie when we drove through the Remer area, I always thought that I would like to have a place where I could fish and hunt grouse right out my back door.

So when I began looking for a property, fishing, hunting and serenity were my main goals. I didn't want close neighbors and I wanted elbow room for kids, dogs, shooting guns and general revelry. I looked for two years before I found this property.

My wife, Denise, allowed me to have my dream when we bought this property in 1992. At that time there was only an old tarpaper shack with cracks in the wall that were so big birds could fly in. It was love at first sight. Quiet. Beautiful. Majestic. I could close my eyes and see all of the memories that my family and friends would make in the years to come ---and we did. That was 32 years ago.

What makes this property unique

Although the Lodge is modern and comfortable with many amenities, the comment that we hear most often is how peaceful and private the Lady Slipper Lodge is. It is truly a rare piece of land. It is a 32-acre point of land between two lakes. It is the only piece of private property on Lower Milton Lake and when you are there you will see more wildlife than you will see other people. We cut many trails on our land and if you are more adventurous, there are many miles of hiking and ATV trails right out the back door that lead deep into the Chippewa National Forest.

While we don't have walleyes or a sandy beach, we do have a swimming raft and great crappies, sunnies, northerns and bass. There is also a swimming beach located on Little Sand Lake nearby. Our lakes are also great for ice fishing. Many people come to this area as well for deer hunting and it has great grouse hunting.

In the summer you will enjoy our boats that come with the rental. These include 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, 2 small fishing boats, a stand-up paddle board and a pontoon paddle boat. We also have a pontoon boat with a 60 HP motor that you can rent during your stay.
