Ideal for small company leadership or church staff retreats as well. 21.5 acres of land up against 1500 feet of river frontage. Take time to truly “be present” and enjoy your family with cookouts, fishing along the river , or reading in solitude. Quiet clubs like scrapbooking, or nature enthusiasts will enjoy 16.5 acres of unplatted land. All of this, and only ~30 miles from the Twin Cities! You’ll feel Like you are hours away. Some have shared that it has a very ‘up north’ feeling-probably due to the cabin with high quality log furniture throughout. 4 queen beds-2 of them have twin log bunks. All beds except the master are made of Minnesota pine-the State Tree. For the enjoyment of all future guests, no smoking of any kind of tobacco, and no pets are allowed for any VRBO/Home Away reservations. Thank you. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Things to do - Table tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77960000/77950500/77950495/905fdcdc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private lake home less than 1 hour from the cities Maple Lake - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=77950495&PinnedHotelID=77950495&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106320000/106314600/106314537/f7a67cf8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 acre lake front 4 bedroom home on Buffalo Lake close to Downtown shops.
