Great location! Loved the park that is right next to us along with the public beach and boat landing. Right across from the park is a nice bar with a patio overlooking the lake and less than a block away is a Dairy Freeze. Owner was very receptive to questions.

Great Location!
This spot right on the beach is a perfect family getaway. The beach at the property is so close to being level with the yard so there’s no stairs down the bank. Really nice place that has a nice layout for families. This location is within walking distance of the public beach, kayak rentals, restaurants,etc. We had a great time.

We had a wonderful weekend getaway in Fairmont! The house was great - both spacious and clean! Wonderful beach out the back door with 3 kayaks available for us to use. It was great to be so close to the public beach, 2 parks, the aquatic park and an ice cream shop. We all had a great time! Having such a nice place to stay really made our weekend special. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Katie

Host profile image
Hello! My husband Marc and I bought this home in 2016 with the vision of creating a VRBO someday. We grew up in the Fairmont area and moved back when we started our family. We currently live on an acreage just outside of Fairmont with our four children and LOTS of animals. I work full time from home for a Renewable Energy company. We are third generation corn and soybean crop farmers in collaboration with Marc's family. We are never bored and never lonely :) We are outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy all of Minnesota's seasons (although I admit the winters do get long) including camping, boating, skiing, snow skiing, ice fishing, and biking.

Why they chose this property

This property is special to us in so many ways. Living in the country, we wanted and needed our "lake fix" so we couldn't pass on the opportunity as well as the location. Fairmont is named "City of Lakes" because it uniquely has 5 lakes that run through town all connected together by channels. There are only approximately 30 properties in Fairmont that have a walk out beach like this property. Ours happens to be perfectly located in the center of town making it a dream location!

What makes this property unique

When booking with us, you will have the solid reassurance that your needs will be met as we live close by and can be available at anytime. We look forward to sharing our wonderful lake property with you.
