Perfect for Your Family Summer Vacation! Large Cabin on a Beautiful Lake!

Newly Available!!!

Jordbaer Hus is on a private 2 acre wooded lot with 160 feet of shoreline on one of the cleanest lakes in Minnesota. There is plenty of room for large families or multiple couples.

The main cabin has a beautiful cozy wood interior with expectional views of the lake and the undeveloped north end of the lake. The house faces north which allows for incredible sunset views as well as sunrise views for the early risers.

The main cabin has 3 large comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main floor has a large kitchen, dining room, living room and sunroom with elevated views towards the lake. The downstairs has a large comfortable living room. A perfect spot to relax at the end of a fun day or on a rainy day.

The bunkhouse allows for additional space for a second small family or older kids. It has 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a small living room. The bunkhouse is only available for use in the summer months.

In the summer, the lakefront is perfect for lounging and swimming. The huge grass yard offers plenty of room to play yard games or to turn the kids loose. It leads to the crystal clear lake with a sand filled bottom. No need to worry about rocks hurting your feet! There is a gradual slope into the lake that allows children a large shallow play area. There is also room to use the dock to park your own boat.

In the winter there are a ton of outdoor activities if you feel like leaving the cozy cabin. First, Strawberry Lake offers excellent ice fishing. Enjoy a few hours on the lake and then head back to the cabin to warm by the fire. There is also snowmobiling on the lake. The lake connects to a large network of Minnesota trails some leading to Itasca State Park and then even further on to Duluth, MN. If you want to check out the trails use this link http://www.snowmobiletrail.com/us/mn/city/ogema/. Skiing is also a popular sport to take part in while staying at JordbaerHus. Near the cabin you can partake in downhill as well as cross-country skiing. The newly opened Detroit Mountain offers fantastic Minnesota downhill skiing. It is located only about a half hour away. https://detroitmountain.com They have a newly remodeled chalet that is a must see. If cross-country skiing is more your style there are a couple of different options. You can always ski on the lake although there are no groomed trails. If groomed trails is what you are after there are two spots to give a try. Maplelag resort maintains 70 kilometers of trails. They also have equipment rentals and lessons. https://www.maplelag.com/trails/trail-map Tamarac Wildlife Refuge is also a good choice for cross-country skiing. It does not have as many miles of groomed trails but it is a fun place to check out winter wildlife. https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Tamarac/

“Boat house” amenities include:
- 2 canoes
- kayak
- 2 standup paddle boards
- paddle boat
- sand toys
- yard games

In addition to being an incredibly clean and clear lake, Strawberry Lake also offers great fishing whether you are after walleye, bass, pike, or crappies. There is also plenty of pan fish for the kids.

Jordbaer Hus is perfectly located for multiple day excursions.
- Itasca State Park (headwaters of the Mississippi)
- Tamarac Wildlife Refuge
- Richwood Winery
- Detroit Lakes (lots of restaurants and a water park)
- Detroit Mountain (downhill skiing, mountain biking)
- Maplelag Resort (excellent cross-country skiing trails)

Relaxing place to stay for everyone
From adults to young kids there was at least something to do for anyone. Plenty of yard and house space for everyone. Nice and quiet. Well stocked with most things you will need. We went here for our family trip and everyone enjoyed it, we’re already talking about going back again next year. Highly recommended

Strawberry Lake
We enjoyed the stay and Strawberry Lake was perfect for our family and little grandchildren. I few things we noticed were the ants in the kitchen, especially in the countertops. We kept as much food in the front cupboard but they seemed to always make their way back out. Of course AC would have been great! Overall we had a very pleasant stay and loved the lake!!

Family togetherness
We absolutely loved this place! The lake was beautiful, the house was cozy and comfortable, the bunkhouse was wonderful. We had 8 of us all together which included kids, grandparents, parents, and auntie. We had plenty of places to be when inside, and tons of things to do outside. Anything you could possibly need was already provided. Just show up with food and clothes and you're good to go! The views from the deck are gorgeous! The kids played in the lake for hours on end, picked water lilies in the bay (just down the shore), caught lots frogs, played on the swing set, and everyone caught a lot of great fish. But the thing they loved most was the pedal boat. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. And the property manager was excellent at communicating. We hope to return in the future.

You won’t be disappointed here! This place had everything. Privacy, great swimming area, garage, huge yard among many other things. There was no AC so that was kind of a bummer on the hot days but it was perfectly fine on cooler days. Kristen was super helpful when we had an issue. 10/10!!!

4.5 Stars! We had a wonderful time at this home on Strawberry Lake
This house has most everything you will need, or even want in a Northern Minnesota vacation home rental! Let's start with the setting. This home is located on the South side of Strawberry Lake--one of the clearest lakes I've seen in the past several years. The large lot accommodates many different "ecosystems" so to speak: You could: Hang out by the sand-bottom beach Fishing by the dock (they also have a pontoon available for rent). I caught some good fish at sunset right off the dock. Take a nap on the hammock surrounded by the canopy of trees. Have a fire in the fire pit by the bunkhouse. Our kids loved checking out the cozy bunkhouse, although nobody stayed the night in there. Run around or play lawn games in the huge, grassy backyard leading up to the beach. Rain? No worries! The owners have supplied the home with fast internet, a huge TV in the walk-out lower level and lots of board games and books. You won't get bored being inside for the day. The kitchen supplies could be a little better, for example there was no griddle (for pancakes, breakfast, etc...). This is a common thing in vacation rental properties, so if you need something like a griddle, bring it from home. There were lots of coffee filters, and a good coffee maker, however! The home was of average cleanliness, and I would say the kitchen and dining room surfaces needed an extra bit of cleaning when we got there. I get it, as it is very difficult to make a house look "perfectly" unoccupied every several days or so. Also, the gas grill was not working, but the owners were responsive about it, and let us use a charcoal grill, which was great. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Getaway
This was the perfect place for our family get together. The house was spotless and had everything that we needed. What a beautiful lake. The kids all stayed in the bunkhouse and the adults stayed in the main house. We all had a fun time with the canoe, paddle board, kayaks and pedal boat. This is one of the cleanest/clearest lakes I've ever seen. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Perfect in every way!
I concur with all the positive reviews for this property! Responsive owners were wonderful to work with, even allowed us to pick fresh vegetables from their garden patch. The little ones LOVED all the water toys. The fishing was fun. We caught plenty for a fish fry meal. Absolutely no complaints! Thank you, Kristin and Mark!

Awesome Cabin
First and foremost this cabin is awesome. As listed in some of the other reviews it does not have AC but the fans in the cabin keep it extremely cool. You do have neighbors on both sides of you but only one you can really see if you are in the front yard. If you are big into TV they have one large flat screen in the basement and that is it (which was perfect for us since we were outside most of the time). Water was 76 degrees when we were here in the middle of August. Overall Kristin is awesome she texted me upon arrival and made sure we were okay as a bad storm came through. We will for sure be back,

Beautiful view with big yard
We had a big group of 10 friends that all play hockey together that do an annual trip. This house was the perfect spot for us to fish, play yard games, grill out. The lake water is very clear One of the owners stopped by very nice gentleman. Only suggestion would be to move the fire pit from the backyard to the front yard so you get the Lakeview.

Outstanding family lake home!
The space for multiple families to share a fun time was the big draw along with all the lake toys. Great Lake for all ages! Many essential items provided to eliminate hauling. KClean and clear water to play and float. Bunk house a hit with grandchildren. Owners easy to work with and responsive to all questions.

Strawberry Lake home
This is a really special place to share with your family. The grounds are kept well & they offer all the things needed for water activities. The view of the lake is really lovely & you can watch the sun rise & set off the patio. The bunkhouse is rustic. Fantastic getaway from the city. Very much appreciated.

Excellent location/amenities/experience
My wife and our three teenage kids stayed for a short week in early July. Amenities: - the lake was fantastic from a recreation stand point. Excellent swimming, boating, paddle boarding, kayaking and general enjoyment. The fishing was lackluster but that certainly could have been us or the time of year. - the cabin was clean, supplied with what we needed and very comfortable. It doesn't have A/C but we had plenty of fans to keep us cool. - the kayak, paddle boards and canoe were well used and welcome. - the dock was sufficient for our 18' Lund. Location - the cabin is 30 miles from DL and 40+ from Park Rapids. Not a deterrent but just know it's a bit of a trip if you need supplies. - we especially appreciated driving to Itasca State Park for a day bike trip to the headwaters. Hosts - very attentive to any questions we had and from everything I experienced, simply wonderful! Overall we would highly recommend this location and had a fabulous time!

We grew up going to Strawberry lake and it is a special place for our entire family. The U.S. Navy has taken us around the world. However, we decided to put "roots" down at Strawberry Lake because it is a place we always look forward to coming back to.
