About this property

Lake front summer home- beautiful lake with shallow entry that’s great for kids!


The Lake House is a beautiful, clean, 2100 square foot home on the North Shore of West Twin Lake, an all-sports lake with clear water, sandy bottom, and a gradual entry from the shoreline that is not deeper than 3-4 feet for a significant distance. This is a lake perfect for younger swimmers and advanced tubers or water skiers, as well as a great spot to fish. Fish in the lake include walleye, pike, perch, bass, and sunfish. A private dock with tie-off anchors is provided for your jet skis or boat. A paddle boat, kayaks, and paddle boards are provided for all guests. Pontoon rentals are available from a nearby marina.
The North Shore provides the best views of every sunrise and sunset! West Twin Lake, at over 1300 acres, is the largest-and the best!-of the Twin Lakes in Lewiston.
Whether you enjoy your morning coffee on the lakefront deck and listen to the loons call, or make s’mores in the fire pit while stargazing, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful family vacation. This home boasts 100 feet of lakefront on a private 1.35 acre lot. The original cottage was built in 1945 with knotty pine ceilings and log walls, with a 1991 update and lakefront addition that includes a great room with cathedral ceilings, fireplace, and expansive floor to ceiling windows. The master bedroom suite also provides a gorgeous lakefront view, and has a private master bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. New furniture this year includes the great room sectional sleeper, a full sized sleeper sofa in the reading nook, king bed, dining table with bench, and a game table.
This home is equipped with everything a family will need to make memories on the lake! The spacious lawn is open for kids to play, or just to run right into the water!
Lewiston is minutes away with shopping and restaurants, and it is only a short drive to golf in nearby Gaylord or Garland Resort,
This home can be booked for weekends May-Father's Day and after Labor Day, with a week's stay required from mid-June until Labor Day. Please inquire if interested in booking just a long weekend starting with Labor Day through the winter and spring season.

Summer Vacation
We had a great time at this lake house and reserved it for next summer before we checked out! We had 11 people and there was plenty of space for all of us. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need and was very clean. The owners were great to communicate with on any questions we had. We are looking forward to coming back next summer!

Beautiful property for a family get together our grandchildren 18-5 years old. The kids enjoyed having a yard to play games in and not just sand. The shallowness of the lake was great for the young as well as teens. The house was exceptionally clean and supplied with all you need.

Great visit!
We had a wonderful time! My grandkids loved the lake and beach, and had our crew been older we would’ve played cornhole, in the very generous yard😊. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. We have reserved the same two weeks for next year.

Wonderful Fall location
Very nice place with everything you need for a nice stay on the lake. Firewood and some water toys included. The master bedroom is a wonderful location to wake up and enjoy the beautify view of the lake. Great beach for little ones because it is very shallow for a long distance out from shoreline (like a splash pool). Great communication from the owner.

Home Away From Home!!
I’m embarrassed of my handwriting after reading all of those nice messages in the guest book so I’ll type mine lol… we were so impressed w the accommodations and how comfy and clean this home is. Definitely agree w everyone that this feels like a home away from home. We just bought property in Lewiston and wanted to stay for a long weekend and check out the area more, and very happy with our new “neighbors” Would love to experience this lake house in the summer! Thank you so much!

great option for Lewiston lake house
The house and property were great. What we liked the most: House was spacious, clean, and well stocked. We appreciated all of the extra beach towels. The lot was very deep and wide so plenty of room outside. Nice fire pit. Owner was easy to communicate with and helpful with the one issue we had. Nice beachfront and boat parking options. Nice to be able to borrow the kayaks and extra chairs. Well water tasted great. The only thing we didn't love was the pull out sofa as a sleeping space. It might be okay for kids though. Overall it was a great lake house.

The house offer the perfect lake experience. We have a 9 and 11 year old. They loved using the two paddle boards, lily pad and paddle boat. The adults did too! Very shallow lake. Great for kids and beginner water-skiers. Thank you for an enjoyable week away.

Lakeside retreat
Our family enjoyed our time at the cabin. Enjoyed swimming in the lake, using the boats and campfires. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. Everything was clean. If you don’t want to run the heat at night, you might consider bringing a few extra blankets. Plenty of towels and beach towels available. Front yard was great for games and the children running around.
