Relax at The Lazy Loon- Lakeside fire pit/Swimming/Hot tub/Game room

Don’t miss your opportunity to lounge at the Lazy Loon! Take advantage of an up North experience in our updated, single level, 3 bed/1 bath home with a spacious, open floor plan, and fully equipped kitchen to meet all your cooking needs. A gas grill is also available during the summer and fall season. Upper South Long Lake is 800 acres of fun (for any season), located just 2 hours north of the Twin Cities and less than 10 min SE of Brainerd.

The Space:
Enjoy full-sun throughout the day and into the evening with our south facing exposure, 100 ft of sandy shoreline, a private sandy beach for the kids, and of course, fishing from the dock will promise to be entertaining. The property’s level elevation, with no sloping or stairs to the lake, make this an easily accessible set up for all ages and abilities. When you are ready for a break from the sun, relax under the large shade trees and enjoy dinner on the deck, while embracing the stunning lake views, the loons, or even an occasional eagle or two! Of course, don’t miss out on evening smores and gatherings around the lakeside fire pit.

We have you covered for cool, rainy days inside with a variety of board and card games, puzzles, and plenty of family friendly DVD’s.

During the winter months, the Lazy Loon is a great place to stay for ice fishing, snowmobiling and other winter activities. Upper South Long Lake is well known for ice fishing and it's home of the big Crappie Flop fishing tournament. In addition, we are conveniently located with easy access to hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails! It is a great place to enjoy every season!

We have enjoyed sharing our property with others over the years. We only ask that the families that consider choosing to share our home will appreciate and respect it as well. We are looking for responsible adults and/or families only please. Absolutely no parties, no pets and no smoking allowed.

Perfect getaway

We just wanted a stress free girls weekend getaway and we couldn’t have found a more perfect place! Beautiful place on the lake that we could relax in the hot tub or deck. We will definitely be coming back when we get a chance. I would also recommend it for a family vacation. It has everything you could need!

Perfect cabin for a weekend getaway

This place was awesome and had all the amenities described. The view of the lake was gorgeous and was within steps of the patio door. We appreciated the hot tub and enjoyed it immensely. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need to cook with. We also enjoyed the game room. The communication with the owner went smoothly and was fast. We will be back!

Another great stay at the Lazy Loon!

This is our third time in four years to stay at the Lazy Loon, and it won't be our last. Everything is great from the beds to the kitchen supplies to the AC. We love the sandy beach for our kids, and the private dock for our boat. Having it ~2 hours from the city and ~5 mins from Paul Bunyan Land just makes it perfect. Looking forward to next time!

We stayed here in 2021 and liked it. Came back this year because we wanted to be someplace we knew would be good. The hosts made several improvements to the property and it continues to be a great place to stay and enjoy the lake.

Annual Family Getaway

This was our third year at the Lazy Loon. We love it here! Our only wish is that we could stay longer -- and more often. The property is just right for our annual family vacation. The deck is where we spent most of our time. The cabin owner is great too and has always been very responsive. We hope to be back again next year!

Perfect family vacation setting

We loved our week at the Lazy Loon. Such a beautiful cabin and setting. The open kitchen area was perfect for our granddaughter to run around and play in. We enjoyed the comfy deck chairs and the sandy beach and walk in lake were perfect for our time on/near the water. The cabin was clean, well stocked and the beds were comfy. Liked it so much we are booked for next summer too!

Beautiful cabin with an amazing view.

The hosts were wonderful, they called to make sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked. The deck was great with lots of comfortable seating which was a great spot to watch the loons. Sandy beach was a wonderful bonus as well. We will definitely be back.

Lazy Loon Family Week

This property provided lots of opportunities for play and relaxation for our family. We were able to boat, paddleboard, bike, swim, grill, play yard games and even find a quiet reading place. Even with the unseasonably brisk winds off the lake, we really enjoyed our time at the Lazy Loon.

Great Place!!

Our stay here was great and we will definitely be back if we need a nice relaxing break. Our main reason for booking was the hotub! The only reason I would not give this place 5 stars was the comfort of the couch/furniture. It was outdated and in my opinion not comfortable. We spent most of our time when watching tv/shows in the master bedroom on a small tv as the couch was not ideal. Other than this the place was phenomenal!

Beautiful property that sits right on the lake! Very clean and had everything you could need which was super nice. Our grandson loved the wagon and the sandy beach!

Exceptional Lake Cabin

An exceptional lake property! We enjoyed all that is offered. The views are fantastic, the cabin is very clean, well stocked, and comfortable inside and out and the open space. Love the deck furniture, the private dock, and fire pit are awesome amenities. The owners take pride with their property and care about their guests. We would recommend this property for families and anyone looking for a great cabin to stay at. Our hosts are wonderful to work with and are quick to respond to any questions. We cant wait to be back again!

Wonderful place and owners!

We loved staying here! It suited our family very well (2 adults, 3 kids). The house is nicely updated, decorated and stocked with lots of great amenities. We really appreciated all that was provided from the kitchen and bathroom products, kid activities, outdoor/lake toys and great. The owners have very thoughtfully stocked the entire place. Beds were very comfortable too. The property itself is really nice, one level living, great deck and furniture, just steps into the yard and onto the beach and dock. We rented a boat and tied it up on the dock. The owners were great and easy to work with and we'll be back!

Another Great Stay at the Lazy Loon

This was our second visit to the Lazy Loon, and we loved it just as much! It's the perfect combination of elements we look for: within 2.5 hours of the Twin Cities, no huge hill or long walk to the water/beach, public access available, and enough comfy beds to fit us and our guests. They are extremely generous with kitchen supplies and equipment, as well as use of their water toys like the paddle board, kayak, floaties and more. We did have a slight issue with a clogged septic at one point, but Brent responded immediately and someone was there to fix it within 15 minutes—so it was no problem for us! We're already talking about making an annual trip to the Lazy Loon as a family tradition, so long as they'll have us!

Lovely

We had a great small girls weekend at this property and loved it. The kitchen was spacey and had a large table and breakfast bar. TV room was spacey for us ladies to watch TV or just chat. Small game room in the back. Room in each bedroom and enough beds to cover the 5 ladies attending. Thing we loved most was the hot tub!! A few early setbacks included: VRBO not emailing us the Pin to get into the property, and thankfully the property owner answered immediately and was able to give us the code. We also arrived on Friday afternoon, shortly after a Wednesday night snowstorm and the driveway / parking space and sidewalks were not shoveled. Luckily some had melted, so it was manageable. We understood since it was later in the season, and there were shovels and salt, but wish it was plowed/shoveled. Overall, a great stay and will stay again!
