Luxury 6BR/5FB Lake Retreat I Steam & Infrared Saunas by Lake BdeMakaSka
A warm, luxurious sanctuary by the lake awaits in a luxury Lake Home 300 yds from Lake Bde Maka Ska beach in a quiet Uptown neighborhood. Unwind with a 4-person steam sauna and a full-spectrum Finnish infrared sauna w/ red light, jetted tub, & heated floors.
With six bedrooms and five spa-like bathrooms, chef kitchen with dining nook, backyard water feature, 9-ft shuffleboard, foosball and fast Wi-Fi, the layout works beautifully for families, groups, and getaways with friends. The space spans four levels, offering plenty of room to gather while also giving everyone space to unwind in privacy.
For those seeking balance and calm, the home offers a complete wellness experience. Enjoy a spacious steam sauna with bench seating for four on the second level, and a Finnmark full-spectrum infrared sauna with red light therapy on the third level for deeper restoration. Together, they create a private spa atmosphere—perfect for relaxation, rejuvenation, or mindful time alone.
The main level brings comfort and connection together. It features a jetted air tub for two, a fully stocked chef’s kitchen, and a dining nook for six to seven with built-in outlets for easy device charging. The open living and dining area includes a handcrafted 9-ft True North shuffleboard table and a spin bike for light workouts. A cozy bedroom with TV and an adjacent full bathroom with jetted air bathtub provide easy access for guests who prefer no stairs.
The lower level has a relaxed, artistic feel with curated pieces from local artists. A spacious family room with large TV, daybeds, and comfortable seating encourages long conversations or movie nights. A mini kitchenette with coffee and tea setup, and a playful kids’ foosball coffee table complete the space. This level also includes a creative-styled bedroom and a full bathroom with washer and dryer access.
Upstairs, the second level features a serene queen bedroom with soft gold tones, a kid-friendly room with a twin bed and bunk beds, and a full shared bathroom. The primary suite includes a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with the steam sauna, rain shower, and heated floors for a true spa-inspired experience.
The third level opens to a bright studio-style retreat with a queen bed, a sofa for lounging or sleeping, a TV for movie nights, and a small dining table ideal for tea, coffee, or quiet reflection. The full bathroom on this level hosts the infrared sauna with red light therapy for deep relaxation—please follow the sauna guidelines to enjoy the best experience.
With eleven beds plus a sofa bed, the home is ideal for families, corporate work groups, friendly reunions, or wellness-focused retreats.
Thoughtfully placed local artwork adds warmth and character, with select pieces available for purchase. Your host, a private chef, offers optional culinary experiences inspired by Indian-fusion and Silk Road flavors—or a full Ayurvedic dining journey using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests may choose private dinners, tasting menus, or grazing boards featuring house-made chutneys and seasonal delicacies. Please reach out for more information.
Entertainment includes a handcrafted shuffleboard table, foosball, spin bike, and classic board games. Outdoors, a landscaped backyard with pergola and flowing waterfall sets the scene for morning yoga, coffee, or relaxed evening wine.
Each level features its own bathroom and kitchenette area for privacy and flexibility, supported by fast Wi-Fi, central air, radiant heat, and keyless entry. Two off-street parking spaces are included.
A short walk takes you to the lake, wine bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. A stay here brings together comfort, wellness, good food, and easy city access—an experience that nourishes body and mind in every season.

About the host
Hosted by Rupinder Singh
We believe every guest deserves an unforgettable stay — one filled with comfort, warmth, and meaningful experiences. Our goal is to create a truly exceptional luxury vacation home experience that feels both personal and memorable.
As your host, I’m a chef at heart who loves curating unique dining moments. From handcrafted welcome boards to private dinners and wine-pairing experiences, I enjoy collaborating with guests to bring flavor and connection to every stay.
Previously, I owned and managed Lyndale Tap House, a local favorite that closed during the pandemic. I’m now exploring a new dream — opening a cozy boutique wine bar in the Twin Cities. My cooking style draws inspiration from Silk Road cuisine, blending influences from Central Asia and India. I’m passionate about using fresh, organic ingredients and supporting local Saint Paul co-ops.
My hope is that your time here feels restorative, inspiring, and delicious in every sense.
