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.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2024
Nice place with lots of room for 3 or 4 adults, great lake view, peaceful and quiet. We had aggravating communication problems. VRBO messaging is lousy. They never responded to our first message sent when we booked six months out. They didn't answer phone calls, texting was the only method so there were many frustrating delays. They called and left a message on our home phone with the code to check in several days after we'd told them we were starting our trip so we never got it. We hated the policy that we had to either pay a ninety nine buck damage insurance fee or deposit fifteen hundred bucks six months in advance of the rental before we could go to the next screen to book the place. That's onerous for just a two night stay. I'm saying "bucks" because they won't let me put in dollar amounts – that's big brotherish! We are responsible senior citizens with no pets. We knew we wouldn't damage the place so the insurance is simply throwing cash away. That's a VRBO money grab. We opted for the crazy huge deposit but most folks don't have that kind of money to put on hold. We are fortunate we can. Most will just shrug and pay for damage insurance they don't need and won't use. It's now 13 days since we checked out and our deposit has not yet been refunded. The competition (you know who I'm talking about but big brother won't let me say it here) has a much better policy. They will charge your credit card to pay for any damages. Won't use VRBO again for this reason.
