About this house rental

This incredible ranch style home is located on 100 acres of private wooded property and has several hundred feet of lakeshore on Sunset Lake. The home and property work great for corporate retreats, off site meetings or family reunions. The house is set back from the lake in a totally secluded area looking out over a large backyard surrounded by thousands of mature pine trees. There are 3-4 miles of private trails through the woods, fields and marshes. Walk up to the field at dusk and you will likely see deer feeding on the grass. At night you will hear the loons calling. It's about a 100 yard short walk to the lake and private dock that can be accessed via driveway or backyard trail. In the summer months, the lake can be difficult to see through the trees from the house.

The home has 3 fireplaces, a large fully equipped kitchen, screened in porch with ceiling fan, large deck, family room, and a great room with a gas fireplace, dining area, huge leather sectional, computer, highspeed wireless internet, Roku streaming capabilities, CD, VCR and DVD players. There is a large finished basement with a wet bar, ping pong, bumper pool and foosball tables, sauna and large stone fireplace. Walk out the basement to a large patio and fire pit.

Within 10-15 minutes you can be golfing or dining at Ruttgers Bay Lake Resort, or fishing on Lake Mille Lacs, one of the best Walleye lakes in the country. There are several other restaurants and golf courses in the area as well as dozens of good fishing lakes, including Sunset Lake, which is great for Bass and Northern Pike. We have a pontoon that you are welcome to reserve for a fee of $400. There is also a 14' fishing boat and motor at the dock for your use. The quiet lake is great for water skiing and boating. There is a boat landing if you choose to bring or rent your own boat or personal watercraft. In the winter months the property works great for snowmobiling, ice fishing and cross country skiing. The Cuyuna Trail system, about a 15 min drive away, covers nearly 800 acres inside the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area (CCSRA), and has been ranked as a silver level ride center by the International Mountain Bicycling Association. Also about a 15 minute drive is the vibrant and fun town of Crosby with several new restaurants and shops.

Our 3rd or 4th time staying here. Love the how big it is as it’s where we have our annual golf/poker long weekends. Bunch of guys in their mid 50s . It is so quiet and peaceful. Yet minutes away from a great golf. Purse and close to others. It was clean, incredibly well stocked, and we look forward to our trip every year. Will be back next year, Side note, just wanted to say how sorry we all were that Jerry, the on site property manager, passed. He was a very nice guy and we missed him this last year. As well as his dogs. RIP Jerry

This was the best furnished ever! A perfect place with activities for 3 generations. The kitchen was great for many cooks, every room had special touches but we all appreciated how clean everything was. Great time on the pontoon - we all appreciated the 4-stroke motor and the swimmers loved the swim ladder. Cheryl & Dave Asplund, Champlin, mn

The house was large. It is not "on" the lake but is just a bit across the road. The pontoon boat was totally worth it. The fishing boat wouldn't start, therefore the whole group couldn't go out at once. Tons of fishing equipment. Major problem for my group was that it was advertised as 6 bathrooms but there are only 4 1/2. The owner said he would change the listing. Jerry, on site, was very responsive. If there were trails, I never saw them but too many mosquitos to walk in the woods anyway.
