Celebrating a Birthday
Our group of three sisters and their spouses were very impressed as we entered this lovely home. Its description and photos were exactly what we expected. We really enjoyed beautiful Waconia Lake. This lakefront home has well-groomed yards, along with comfortable patio furniture to enjoy the outdoors. Equally enjoyable was its spacious interior. Thank you to our friendly host, we had a great time! We highly recommend this property!

Great stress relief getaway!
We had a wonderful time at this VRBO. The weekend started with the search for the hidden room which was a fantastic way to kick off our fun time. All the bedrooms were very comfortable; it was great to all have separate baths. The deck was our favorite place to hang out, have a frosty drink, listen to the waves and watch the chickens strut around. When it got too chilly outside, the livingroom fireplace was perfect for the rest of the night. Our hosts were very friendly, personable, helpful and willing to answer questions. The fresh eggs were also very much appreciated. We'd definitely recommend this property and plan to return!

Family lake stay
Relaxing home right on the lake with close location to trails and downtown Minneapolis. Our dog loved sitting on the deck and watching the free-range chickens. Owners available to answer any questions. Would definitely book again!

Incredible Lake Home
Completely remodeled lake home with upscale finishes throughout. We enjoyed a very comfortable and cozy stay. (We did need a hint from the host to find the “secret bedroom”, but glad we found it).

Wonderful cottage with beautiful setting
We had a last minute change in our women's getaway and we were lucky enough to find this lake cottage available. The views were wonderful from the many windows. The beds were comfy, the cottage was clean. Great kitchen with everything you would need. We rented a pontoon and had a relaxing day on the lake. Hiking nearby along with wineries, breweries and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The owners were very responsive and helpful. Thanks, Dave and Tracy

About the host

Hosted by J Berkland

Host profile image
Dave and I, along with our kids, are born and bred in MN. You can always find us in, on, or under the water.

We are easy going hosts and travelers and hope you are the same.

Why they chose this property

We've lived in this neighborhood for 20 years, and enjoy the quiet, rural feel, even though we are 45 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. We own both this home and the neighboring home, so you'll have plenty of privacy, yet there is always help close by.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage was completely remodeled in 2023, and incorporates many features of lake cabins from the 30's and 40's, while bringing luxurious amenities of today.

The backyard with direct lake frontage can't be beat. Private, gently sloping with screened boathouse gives you magnificent views from every direction. Being on the quiet side of the lake, there is very little boat traffic to interrupt the serenity.

Wildlife abound-expect to see pelicans, eagles, ospreys, kingfishers, and hear an occasional owl. Muskrat, minks, possums, groundhogs and foxes are always around. The free range chickens usually escape unscathed, but everyone likes the taste of chicken.
