With 65+ acres of private land, direct lake access, and room to host large groups, it’s designed for family reunions, multi-generational vacations, retreats, and gatherings of all kinds. Every stay is deep-cleaned and prepared with care. The home has been updated with A/C and modern touches while still honoring its legacy as a place of reflection, rest, and connection. 🏡 Property Highlights 9 Bedrooms / 6 Bathrooms – flexible layout for large families & groups Gourmet kitchen with double ovens & plenty of prep space Indoor & outdoor game spaces for kids and adults alike Direct lake access with dock & fire pit gathering area Canoes and kayaks included for guest use Seasonal bunkhouse with wet bar and bathroom (available warmer months) 65+ acres of trails & woods to explore, right outside your door Adjacent to Grey Eagle Wildlife Management Area – pristine land, abundant wildlife, peaceful hikes Updated with A/C and new flooring for guest comfort 🌳 The Setting The retreat sits on the shore of a private 55-acre lake—quiet, clean, and full of fish. Spend mornings casting a line, afternoons paddling, and evenings gathered by the fire pit under the stars. Beyond the lake, the property borders 1,500 acres of untouched wilderness, offering miles of forest and trails. Wildlife is abundant: deer at sunrise, loons calling across the water, and eagles circling overhead. 🍂 Every Season Brings New Magic Summer: Long days on the lake, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and campfires by the water. Fall: Brilliant foliage, crisp hikes through the woods, cozy nights by the fire. Winter: Snowshoeing across frozen trails, ice fishing on the lake, warm meals in the kitchen. Spring: Blooming wildflowers, returning birdsong, and fresh energy in the woods. ✨ The Legacy of Fuller Life Retreat This land carries a rich story. Once held by the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples, it later became home to Franciscan sisters, who built a monastery and used it as a spiritual retreat. For decades, it served as a place of devotion, quiet study, and renewal. Today, Fuller Life Retreat continues that legacy—welcoming families, friends, and groups to gather, rest, and reconnect. While the property has been updated for modern comfort, its true spirit remains: peace, space, and connection. 🧹 Cleanliness & Care The home is deep-cleaned after every guest stay. A/C and updates ensure comfort year-round. As a retreat in the woods, you may occasionally notice natural elements like pollen or a spider web—part of the authentic Minnesota lake experience. Rest assured, the home is well-maintained and prepared with care. 🔑 Guest Access Guests have full use of: The main 9BR/6BA home The dock & fire pit gathering area Canoes & kayaks 65+ acres of private land, woods, and trails Seasonal bunkhouse with wet bar & bathroom (summer months only) Please Note: The garage is not available for guest use. ❤️ Why Guests Love It Room to spread out and come together Peaceful lake and wildlife right outside the door A true sense of privacy and retreat—yet close to Grey Eagle for essentials A unique property with both history and modern comfort Perfect for families, reunions, retreats, and groups seeking space, nature, and connection 🌟 Fuller Life Retreat: Where Peace, Space & Connection Come Alive Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a week on the lake with friends, or a restorative retreat, this property offers the rare blend of space, comfort, and nature that makes memories last.
