Comfortable and Cozy
I only have positive things to say! The views of the lake are just fantastic. I could've sat on the front deck all day looking at the lake. I loved all of the outdoor sitting spaces. We enjoyed the fire pit one evening and the outdoor gas fire table on the other evening. All of the beds were very comfortable, even the bunk beds. Luxurious bathroom towels. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. I would not hesitate to book another stay at this home! Welcoming and cozy...who could ask for more than that?

Cozy Christmas getaway!
We had the most perfect family Christmas together at this gorgeous cozy cabin! The location was perfect as it was so close to the Twin Cities yet you still felt like you were away! This gorgeous log home exceeded our expectations in every possible way! All of the amenities you would want. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree next to the cozy fireplace made for the perfect setting to make Christmas memories together as a family! We cooked, baked, played games, laughed and even Santa found us!!! It was perfect in every way! The beds were BEYOND comfortable which was an added plus! The hosts were very quick to respond to us via text. We would not have changed a thing! We would stay here again in a heart beat! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

My husband and I are true Midwesterners, growing up in the Dakotas (both of them!) and meeting in Minneapolis. We have a handful of great loves in life - our family and friends, travel, the outdoors, and hosting! Owning a vacation property allows us to share our passions with others and help them experience a taste of rest and relaxation that we all need. We hope you enjoy the beauty of our property as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

True log homes like this are rare in Central MN. Rock Lake Lodge provides you that "up north" tranquility and beauty of nature, but with close proximity to home. When built, the property was featured in the Parade of Homes due to its unique beauty! The large lot provides an abundance of space for yard games and group activities. At dusk, enjoy a peaceful campfire overlooking the water - and of course some smores! If you love lake, our spacious dock, secluded cove, and lakeshore space will certainly provide lots of places to gather and keep entertained. Oh, and there is fantastic fishing right off the dock!
