This Leech Lake home in Trader's Bay is located on what is considered to be the best stretch of beach on the entire lake. The beach is sandy and the water is clear and weed free.
On a dead end road, this property is extremely private for families. It is a completely remodeled home with 3 bedrooms in the main house. The garage games and fish cleaning sink are seasonal mid May-mid October as it's otherwise winterized.)
The property includes a dock and a lift for renters. Docks are put in after ice out and taken out mid/late October. Times vary per year according to weather. It's approximately 15 minutes from downtown Walker.
The property is professionally decorated and includes extra fun touches such as family board games, outdoor bean bag toss game (cornhole), gas fireplace in main living area, smart TVs in main home, wi-fi, rustic playhouse for kids and a screened in gazebo with gas firepit. Smoke free, pet free home clean and inviting home.
For the ultimate lake life experience, we have another firepit (wood supplied to guests) at the lake's edge with Adirondack chairs for comfort.
A king size bedroom suite on the second level walks out onto a 2nd level deck with outdoor seating and additional gas firepit.
We can't put into words how amazing the lake and beach are at our property. The soft sand and very shallow entry into the water make this the PERFECT spot for family's with kids. Our kids can touch the sandy bottom well beyond the dock!!
This property is on 9 acres. Although we have a lot of room to roam, we ask that all renters respect our 6 person limit throughout their stay. We do not allow campers or tents to exceed this limit either. Violating this rule will result in losing damage deposits.
The following is provided to renters: most necessary kitchen utensils/dinnerware/cookware, toaster, coffee maker, crockpot, bed linens, bath linens, firewood, gas grill, paddleboard, paddle boat, cornhole bean bag game and ping pong table.
Boat lift: Uncovered, fits 19-20ft boat length up to 5,000 pounds. Docks and lift are removed sometime every October and every attempt is made to put them back in time for fishing opener. Timing depends on when the ice is off the lake and we are unable to offer a guaranteed date they are in or out because of these factors.
***Mid October - May the garage game space and fish cleaning sink are inoperable as they are winterized. Dock is also taken out during that timeframe.
***We do have an OUTDOOR security camera on our property that is motion activated. Camera is located on garage roofline and faces main home front deck.
***We pride ourselves on PERFECT accommodations for renters; however, Leech Lake typically has a Mayfly hatch for approximately 10 days mid to late June. This does somewhat effect the water quality and our normally pristine water and outdoor areas. Anyone renting during this timeframe acknowledges this disclaimer.
*** Our home is pet free. Violation of pets on property will result in a $250 additional cleaning fee.
***This property is in the thick of Minnesota lake country. Insects, animals, trees and all nature related elements will surround you on our property. We believe it's part of the charm of our private oasis. We can arrange additional outdoor cleaning/maintenance for sidewalks, beach and outdoor living areas during your stay for an additional fee if you put in this request.

This was an absolutely amazing getaway!! The location was gorgeous! The house was incredible! We loved everything about it so much that we are deciding when we can return.
We had an amazing time staying at this property! The amenities were great and the property felt very family friendly. It was also nice how private the location is, but not too far from town.

Thank you so much for staying with us. We appreciate you leaving the place spotless!!! You're welcome any time!
Had a great time. The beach is very nice and the water is very clear with a sandy bottom, also shallow which was great for the little kids. Loved being close to the canal to take you to Agency Bay, on the days it was a bit windy and the water was a little rougher we would go there and it was very calm. Look forward to going back next year!

Special thanks to the hosts for making their home available to us for the 2nd time in about two years. We had such an outstanding experience the first time around, we definitely wanted to return. The house is wonderfully situated right on the lake and just a short drive from Walker, MN. The house is well equipped and the hosts have thought of everything! Thanks again for another memorable stay in your happy place!

Love hosting you! Thank you for being such sweet guests! Until next time!
Mike and Emily are so awesome and we just love their house so much. This was our second time here during the fall and this time we brought family with us. Fall colors were really popping this time of the year. Property is so peaceful and private. Two master bedrooms makes this perfect for couples. Lake view is a 10+. Thank you for our beautiful, quiet lake house vacation!

Awwww! You guys are a hoot and so fun to host! Thank you for being such great guests! We're happy to have you anytime!
This was our 2nd stay here and we enjoyed it once again! Communication with owners through text was always met with quick response so if you ever have any questions or issues they are taken care of.
Spectacular beach area for kids (and adults) of any age. Plenty of kitchenware and utensils for large groups, very quiet and private.
Will be staying again!

Thanks Anthony! Your group was awesome to have! Enjoy the rest of your summer! Thanks for the heads up on squirrels...naughty busters! We'll check it out!
Everything about this VRBO is wonderful. The hosts go above and beyond to extend a helping hand with anything that may be needed. They are gracious, efficient and professional. We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to stay...and look forward to the return next year! The cabin is beautiful. The land around it and the view of the lake could not be better. WOW! Thank you Emily!

Thank you so much Jody! It was a pleasure to host you! Looking forward to your return next year!
This is a lovely home and property. The house is updated and beautifully decorated. The property is very large. Great view of lake and many places to sit outside. We spent the majority of our time on the lower deck, and around the fire pit by the lake.
Our adult children enjoyed the garage, where there is a ping pong table and foosball. They had corn hole available (which we thoroughly enjoyed).
The rooms are lovely, beds very comfortable.
Great communication with the hosts.
Wished we could have stayed longer!

Awww thank you so much Pam! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay! Come again and stay longer! We'd love to have you! Enjoy the rest of your summer!!!
We enjoyed a peaceful family getaway for Father’s Day. The house was decorated nicely and equipped with anything you would need for a relaxing stay away from home. We used the boat lift which was very nice to have with the windy weather! Loved the fire pit on the beach, even though we didn’t have the best weather we still enjoyed relaxing by the crackling fire and listening to the waves. Very nice sandy beach, we enjoyed the hammock and swing! Water toys were fun to use also!
At night we enjoyed eating supper out on the deck and then sitting in the gazebo with the fire pit.
Location is great for privacy and close enough to go for supper or play at the casino.
Hosts were very accommodating and easy to reach if need.
I would highly recommend staying here and plan to again!

This is our 2nd lake home property on Leech Lake that we rent to guests. We have another property on the same beach and felt compelled to renovate a lake front home and rent occasionally. It will be new to the rental market in 2020!
