About this apartment rental

Escape to my cozy lakefront retreat just an hour north of the Twin Cities, nestled on the northwest shore of Long Lake—a 390-acre DNR-stocked lake in rural Minnesota. Ideal for family retreats, romantic weekends, proposals, weddings, or peaceful work getaways, this charming space offers comfort, nature, and a touch of adventure.


The Space

Your private 1,200 sq. ft. lake-level suite has its own entrance and includes:
• 1 bedroom with a queen bed and TV
• Full bathroom with a relaxing jetted tub
• Spacious family room with oversized furniture, a 55” satellite TV, and a see-through fireplace
• Cozy sitting room for reading or conversation

While there’s no full kitchen, you’ll have everything you need for convenience — microwave, Keurig, mini-fridge, snacks, and outdoor BBQ — just like a high-end hotel suite.



The Setting

I’m just four houses down from Sunrise on England Shores Grill, Bar & Resort, where you’ll find food, live entertainment, and wedding events. The property offers beautiful lake views, flower gardens, a gazebo, fire pit, BBQ area, WiFi, cable TV, PlayStation, and a DVD collection.

Optional Experiences

Enhance your stay with on-the-water fun:
- Pontoon excursions on my 2018 24-ft, 115HP pontoon
- $75/hour
- $250/half-day (4 hrs)
- $400/full-day (8 hrs) Includes cooler with ice & water (add $40/hr for tubing & gas)

- Kayak rentals – $50/day each

I can also arrange meals, entertainment, transportation, and custom activities for an additional fee.


Additional Details

I live upstairs and love hosting guests — always happy to help make your stay special. Please let me know ahead of time if you plan to bring a pet. (I have friendly outdoor cats.)

Whether you’re here to relax or explore, you’ll love this spot for fishing, boating, wildlife watching, snowmobiling, or simply enjoying Minnesota’s natural beauty.

We had a great time with my wife and two young kids. Norbert took us out on his boat for 4th of July and was an absolute blast staying here. Nice lake. Big, well maintained yard. Very clean place and excellent host. Very close to a decent restaurant and loved its proximity to the Twin Cities while still feeling like we were “up north”. Would recommend!

We were staying in the area for a family wedding and needed a place for four adults and one dog. The space and location was perfect for our needs. We even found a Rover half a mile away to watch our dog when needed. Norbert and Tami were very accommodating and checked in to see if there was anything we needed but also gave us space to do our thing. We spent time there in between visiting family and wedding activities. We didn't take advantage of the lake activities due to our schedule but did enjoy the beautiful views. The rental was clean, cozy and comfortably decorated.

First night found Norberts wife in our bed constant noise from above and the smell of garlic on belongings from making of pasta sauce from the business they were running from there kitchen Norbert credited us with one night rent saying it was only 7 minutes of inconvenience when is wife was in the bed when it was upsetting for the rest of the week I suggested that he should install a lock on occupied side so that entry wasn’t possible from upstairs
