Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michael Vickerman
Born and raised in the Orono, Minnesota, I currently split my time in Los Angeles where I write and produce movies. All of my family, as well as friends I've know since kindergarten, live in the Twin Cities area so I get back to my lake house in Maple Plain often and continue to feel incredibly connected to the Twin Cities community.
Why they chose this property
Having other rental properties, I was looking for someplace on a lake with enough land to make it feel private, yet not so remote that it wouldn't offer great activities nearby. After renovating both the inside and the property itself, it has become the best of both worlds, especially with Powder Ridge just around the corner. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with the area and find this charming cottage to be as much of a retreat as if I had driven three or four hours up north!
What makes this property unique
My goal was to create an environment where guests would feel like they've escaped from their world, somewhere up north with all the benefits of being far away, but not having to drive that far. Mission accomplished. With Powder Ridge only five minutes away, golf and restaurants nearby, there is plenty to do. Yet the most appealing part of staying at the Kimball House is probably just to stay put! I've come to love this place - it rejuvenates my soul and I'm sure it will rejuvenate yours as well.
