About this property

Lakeside Getaway! 35 mins from downtown Minneapolis & close to Mall of America

  • Escape to the lake to relax and recharge!! Only 35 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and less than an hour from the Mall of America, this is the perfect place for a getaway. Located In a darling beach community, the house is directly across the street from the lake with amazing views and a private dock (in the summer). Enjoy the brilliant colors of the sunsets, bonfires and everything lake life has to offer. Beautiful fall colors and plenty of winter fun as well…ice fishing, snow shoeing etc. Bring your snowmobile if you wish. The fishing is amazing any time of year.

    The lake home is in the perfect location. It has an “up north” feel without the long drive. Our 1700sf lake home has a fun beach vibe. It’s cozy, but open and airy and loaded with amenities.

    The home has 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms.The master bedroom is on the top floor and has a king size bed and 3/4 bathroom. The sectional sofa is on the main level and there are 2 bedrooms downstairs each with a queen bed. There is also a 3/4 bathroom on the lower level.

    The house has a smart TV on the main level and two other smaller TV’s with DVD players and tons of movies. Wi-Fi is included and we have a small desk if you need to get some work done.

    The lower level has a foosball table, full size Pac-Man game and dart board. There are also board games, puzzles, cribbage and cards. Even if it’s raining (or snowing) you won’t be bored!!

    The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to create amazing meals. Pots and pans, crock pot, air fryer, toaster coffee maker, microwave, blender, dishes, utensils and much more. There is not a dishwasher, so you will have to wash dishes the old fashioned way. We also have a gas grill outside on the back deck. If you forget something, the General Store is right up the street or grocery store within 10 minutes.

    If you’re not in the mood to cook, there are some incredible restaurants nearby. Smokey’s BBQ is within a mile…a nice walk if you’re in the mood, Acapulco Mexican is 11 minutes away and Maxx Bar & Grill is also 11 minutes away among others.

    There are 2 kayaks and a paddle boat for your use. There are life jackets (required) and misc. rafts/noodles. Bring your boat if you wish. The public launch is right across the street. There is plenty of space to park your trailer and cars in the yard. We do have a pontoon as an option to rent at an additional cost. There is some basic fishing gear for your use as well. (May require a MN license)



    Coon lake is located in Anoka County. It is 1,481 acres and is approximately 27 feet deep at its deepest point. When fishing, anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including bluegill, sunfish, bass, northern pike, walleye, crappie and perch.

    This lake house is a great place for families to spend quality time together making memories.

We had the most incredible stay at this property! The house itself was convenient, and incredibly comfortable, but what really set it apart was how thoughtfully stocked and accommodating everything was. The hosts truly went above and beyond, we had absolutely everything we needed and then some.For the price, the value you get with all of the added amenities is unmatched. It is the absolute perfect summertime place to relax and unwind. We had a fantastic experience from start to finish and will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Great place to stay!

We loved staying at this property. Cabin had everything we needed and owner was very responsive. Beds were very comfortable and master bedroom very spacious. We rented the pontoon boat as well and it was perfect for our group to go on evening rides. We were in town to play soccer at the national sports complex and this was only a 20 minute drive and was much better than staying downtown Minneapolis which is where some of the team stayed. If we ever play up there again will def book this cabin!

Nice Cottage

Enjoyed our stay. Accommodations were nice. Bed very comfy, bathrooms not great, but very clean. Had some issues with communications at the onset but they got better with our stay. Location is very nice for families or people wanting a lake experience. We wanted to go downtown and that was a jaunt.

Exactly what we needed!

The Lakeside Getaway was in a great location for a friends trip we planned. We chose it for the size of beds, and number of bathrooms, (3 adult couples' trip) in addition to its location close to our trip event plans. It is in a peaceful quiet neighborhood, and we regretted we could not take advantage of all it had to offer in terms of being near the water. We did not choose it for the water toys it had to offer, but it would have been great! Kathy responded in a very timely manner to our questions, and check-in and out were very simple. We would stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here while we attended the USA Special Olympics games in nearby Blaine. Sipping coffee on the porch each morning overlooking the lake, smores in the firepit at night, seeing turtles, a bald eagle, lots of birds made for a relaxing week. My daughter had a blast catching bluegill from the dock and my family enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. This made an excellent base of operations to explore the area, or simply relax around the house as the provided toys and watercraft gave everyone plenty to do. Note - this IS a lake house. There is no dishwasher, and the water out of the tap has a little odor, but there is a drinking water cooler, everything provided to make meals in the kitchen, games (including darts, foosball, pacman), and the aforementioned outdoor equipment. This is a family-friendly rental for a nice relaxing stay. We'd definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Great Lake house, and wonderful, communicative host! The house is close to everything and perfectly equipped and ready to accommodate a small or large group! The beds were extremely comfortable, we all slept like we have not slept in years. We cooked, grilled and enjoyed the outside spaces. Very quiet and peaceful throughout the day and night. So many amenities that makes your trip easier and enjoyable. The lake is just a few steps away and you get to enjoy beautiful sunsets and relax. The host leaves you with a handbook full of useful information and great dining spots. We would love to come back and enjoy it for a longer time soon.

Great location, cute lake house

This property is lovely, real care has gone into choosing and providing decor and amenities for guests. My family enjoyed a 5 night stay and had everything we needed. We experienced an intense heat wave and an HVAC issue and the owners were quick to respond. The town is cute and close enough to the city for a wide range of activities.

Hidden Gem!

We had the best vacation at this charming lake house! There is everything you need to enjoy your stay. From kayaks, paddle boards, yard games, board games, bikes etc. you will have plenty to do! Our family will absolutely be back! Our son played in the Target Cup if you are traveling for sports it’s a very quick and easy drive to the National Sports Center fields.

We’ve stayed at a few lake houses in a few different states, and this was hands down the BEST! Our hosts took care of everything. Matt went out of his way in his day off to teach us how to use the pontoon! The central air was perfect for hot summer days and nights! The kitchen was fully stocked with essentials for cooking in house. The porch and living room views of the lake were beautiful! They even provided snacks! So thoughtful and lovely!

3 stars max, place was dirty ceiling tile in main bath was falling down, toilet rings present. We brought our pontoon boat which we could not leave at dock. Water too shalllow and no good place to secure it properly. The green outdoor carpet in the kitchen was totally disgusting. I would not recommend staying here.

Great Lake

Overall we enjoyed our stay there. The size was perfect for our family and having the game room was an added bonus especially when our grandchild was there. The lake was amazing and we were so happy that our son was able to bring his boat up for a couple of days and dock it at their dock. Our only real issue was the air conditioning we happen to be there at a time when temperatures were quite hot and unfortunately the AC could not perform well for the house outside. My suggestion would be at least ceiling fans or room fans in each room to help with that. But we hope to one day to come back and visit because it is a beautiful area.

We knew the cabin was across the street from the lake, but we were disappointed to realize there was nowhere to sit by the water other than on the dock or the pontoon boat.The kitchen counters had crumbs all over, the drawers are very messy with the cutlery tray in need of cleaning and the refrigerator had not been cleaned. The kitchen cupboards really need to be cleaned, and the cookware needs to be updated with a few everyday items instead of crammed with so much junk. There was plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, spices.There were plenty of towels and beach towels. The beds were tolerable however the pillows need updating. My king-sized pillow was covered with a standard pillowcase and so part of the pillow was sticking out. The shower in the master bedroom on the second floor has very little water pressure, so we had to go in the basement to take our showers.We enjoyed having a fire in the back of the house at night. We were able to go for walks in the morning. The neighborhood is quiet. Everyone had fun playing foosball at night.

We were staying at this property while the kids were in a soccer tournament. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate much and it was in the 90s for the entire week and we had severe smoky conditions from the Canadian wild fires. This home was nice and clean with some nice views of the lake and overall was a very pleasant place to be. From the pictures I kind of thought the house was right on the water, but it’s actually back a little bit on the other side of the road. There were still really nice views. And the dock with water access. Around the dock had a lot of weeds, which was fine for boating but not really an area one could swim. Fortunately, the host told me about a nice swimming beach, which was just seven minutes away. Communication with the host was great. Overall, we had a great time here and would totally recommend it.

Lakehouse Review

This small unique home will be ideal for a couple and 2 kids during the summer time. The traditional setting of the house provided warmth and a cozy feeling. However, for a winter visit, the family may want to reconsider due to the high functioning furnace that echoed throughout the house. Also, one has to alot enough time to hand wash the dishes. And, know how to operate antique electronic devices. Overall the house was cozy and provided the warmth that a small family will want.
