About this property
Cozy cottage on Cedar Lake
Experience lake life at its best at this cozy lakeside retreat. The cabin is located only 50 minutes from the twin cities on Cedar Lake. If you enjoy amazing sunsets, good fishing or water activities this is the place to be! You will find great lake views from the cabin, an expansive outdoor deck and a new 96' aluminum dock to put you where the fishing is best. One of our favorite activities that you will likely want to do is get in the water and enjoy the fun by walking, paddling or floating to the nearby sunken sandbar island where folks gather to chat and play.
The cabin has 1 bedroom on the main floor with queen size bed, a loft with 2 twin beds and a full-size pull out in the living area. The cabin has one bathroom, large dining area, comfortable living room with TV, and a kitchen that is fully equipped for all your cooking needs ( Gas grill included). For those that need extra space, included is the boat house that has a wonderful view of the lake from its living space (less than 20' away), and full over twin bunk beds.
Rental includes, a fire pit, two paddle boards, two kayaks, canoe (21'), corn hole, giant jenga, and many other games for your entertainment .

About the host
Hosted by Merle Gaedy
We, are a crazy busy family of four that absolutely enjoy staying at our cabin year around with our young kids, friends and family. Having a cabin on a lake less than an hour from our twin cities house was a dream for both my wife and I since we were married. We both really enjoy water sports, and before we purchased our cabin cherished every opportunity we had to spend in or on the water. Since purchasing the cabin we have spent nearly every summer weekend here to relax, get-away and have fun with the kids and during spring, fall and winter we visit as often as our busy schedule allows. We enjoy it here so much, we hope to some-day make this a place we can ultimately retire and relax.
Why they chose this property
We loved the size and functions of Cedar lake and with the close proximity of the cabin and bunkhouse to the lake it offers great views and sunsets. The cabin has a nice level lot meaning NO steps or hills to the dock or lake. Directly in front of the cabin and off the end of the dock, the water depth is only 27" deep with a comfortable sandy bottom creating a great place for children to play while being supervised from the deck. Lastly, the cabin is situated towards the end of the point meaning a low traffic road, which was a benefit while children play on the driveway.
What makes this property unique
Close to the cities, but not overly known (or busy) - this is a convenient get-away from our normal "city" life that has truly let us focus on having fun family time. We have enjoyed spending time at the sunken sandbar - as it is a unique gathering place for relaxing, meeting others, or catching a game of water volleyball. The restaurant on the lake has let us be lazy, on occasion when we don't want to cook. Lastly, the flat lot, has allowed for endless hours of yard games, lake-side campfires, and sunset viewing.
