About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Shed by Big Stone Lake

Come and stay in The Shed @Stone Ridge for fishing, hunting and family fun! You will be minutes from the lake but with room to spread out and a private space to relax. Less than a mile from the lake and 5 minutes from a public access dock, The Shed is fully furnished and ready to host your family and friends. There is plenty of parking if you are pulling boats or trailers.

The Space
The Shed is a Morton building turned into a comfortable home. You will have a full kitchen, dining area, living room with cable and a Smart TV, games and puzzles. There are two bedrooms and a sleeping loft, as well as a sofa bed in the living room, two full bathrooms, (one bathroom is tub only, no shower) and a laundry area for your use.

Guest Access
Guests will have access to the entire home. The shop will be open for you to use for fish cleaning or as a mudroom and storage for your things, but not for parking. We do store our personal belonging and tools in the shop and ask that you respect that.

We do live up the driveway, but we travel frequently and sometimes there may be renters at the house too. We have 11 acres though, so besides sharing a driveway, you may not even see anyone else.

We have recently adopted some farm cats to keep the rodent population down. They have claimed the shop portion of the building as their favorite place. They’re kind of skittish around people so you might not even see them. But just be aware they are there especially if you’re bringing dogs.

There is a motion activated security camera outside the front door that records video and sound. We prefer it to stay on during your stay, it helps us monitor the whole driveway, but there is a switch for it inside the front door.

Stay at the shed
A group of us stayed at the shed for a fishing trip.even tho the weather didn’t cooperate,we had a very nice stay.check in was very easy and the host made sure we were comfortable and if we needed anything to make sure and let here know. We’ve been doing this trip for the last 4 years and hopefully we can get the shed again in the future.

Perfect Ice Fishing getaway
We stayed here while ice fishing Big Stone Lake. We needed more room since we can’t all sleep in our fish house. It was a nice place that was close to the lake. It was clean and Josie was very nice to work with and responded to our messages very quickly. It was nice we were able to bring our dogs along too!! Would definitely stay here again!!
