About this property

Lake House Is Close To Minneapolis, But Far From Your Normal Routine.

Enjoy this lake home on beautiful Lake Fremont, which is ONLY 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM MINNEAPOLIS.

2 BR/ 1 BA Lake Home
Lake Fremont
Zimmerman, MN

Welcome to your next vacation getaway! Nestled on Lake Fremont with a beautiful view of a peaceful natural setting, this house has a huge deck, sandy beach and lakeside fire pit. Relax in the warmth and openness of the main living room with its vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace; surrounded by two bedrooms, open kitchen, wood floors, huge windows and skylights. This is your home away from home as you give your body a rest, go fishing, have a picnic, relax on the sandy beach or make s’mores at the fire pit. Bring your boat (or rent ours) and cruise the lake and explore the island in the center of the lake. In the winter, bring your snowmobile and explore the miles of nearby trails. The bonfire pit is just steps from the water.

Looking to have family/friends stay nearby? Check out our sister property (Ivy Cottage) on Lake Fremont. It's steps away!

DETAILS: The master suite is lofted and has skylights. The second bedroom has a lake/beach view. There is also a large couch perfect for afternoon naps.

The living room has skylights, large LED smart TV, DVD, and internet TV. The large windows and doors offer a great view of the lake.

Also, if you are looking for a non-toxic place, we have converted the house to a chemical-free, organic cottage. The beds, linens and pillows are either organic cotton or non-GMO cotton. Queen bed is a new organic Avocado mattress. All cleaning products are fragrance-free and we don't use harsh chemicals (Branch Basics is used for cleaning). Air filters are changed every two months. Trust us...you will notice a difference in how great you feel after a week here.

Amenities: Fireplace, Central Air/Heat, TV, DVD, Updated Kitchen w/ breakfast bar, Microwave, Dishwasher, Refrigerator, Washer, Dryer, extra vehicle parking and BBQ grill. High-speed WiFi available. Large dock. Patio Furniture (seasonal).

Like to fish? Throw in a line and catch sunnies and bass right off the dock! Or cast for something more challenging - the lake was recently restocked with game fish by the DNR.

Winter sports - great area for cross country skiing, snowmobiling or ice fishing.

Beautiful walking trails within a couple blocks at Grams Regional Park (see photos).

If you are bringing the family, we have a wide variety of family games, wireless internet and a DVD player. Have kids? We have plenty of toys, books and crafts to keep your little ones busy on a rainy/snowy day.

Like to eat out or go bowling? Within one mile there is an excellent, affordable family restaurant and bowling alley, Zimmerman Bowl, as well as a gas station, grocery store, liquor store and a Dunn Brothers coffee. If you enjoy shopping, there are a handful of wonderful antique and vintage shops in Zimmerman.

All furnishings, linens, cooking utensils, and kitchenware are included. Olive oil and basic seasonings provided.

Want to bring your dog? We love dogs! We welcome dogs for a non-refundable $100 per pet deposit. No cats allowed as the owner has a severe cat allergy (Christina loves cats, so blame Craig). Please note that smoking is not allowed inside the cabin.

Interested in water adventures during your stay? For an extra fee, we offer rental of a pontoon boat, kayaks (adult/youth), paddle boards/SUPs (adult/youth) and a Maui mat.

Only 20 minutes to Albertville Outlet Shopping Center and the Shops at Arbor Lakes. Only 45 minutes to Minneapolis.

About the host

Hosted by Craig Sandok

Host profile image
We bought this house and used it as our lake cabin for several years. We even got engaged at the dining room table! We have since both started businesses and have two young children which leaves us little time to get to the lake. Our hearts are most at ease near water, so we hope you enjoy Lake Fremont as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This is a great lake house with beautiful views and it's the perfect place to relax.

What makes this property unique

This house is very close to the Twin Cities. There are great restaurants and bars in Zimmerman and nearby Elk River and Otsego. We use only non-toxic cleaning products.
