Lakeside bliss and serenity in the Northwoods

Experience Northern Minnesota ambiance on Leisure Lake with beautiful views and towering pines!

The home has a spacious open floor plan, tongue and groove white pine, a cozy living room, and the kitchen features a breakfast bar and dining area with in-floor heat. The sandy beach is great for swimming and there are 2 docks to enjoy fishing for walleye, bass, crappie, sunnies, and northern pike. Enjoy the use of kayaks and paddle boards free of charge. Adult life jackets are available for use. We provide NO children's life jackets. A peaceful getaway, located on a dead-end road on private land. Borders old growth forest.

Wonderful stay
Our family had a great stay at the cabin. Location was at the end of the road, so it felt private. The cabin was very nice and comfortable. We fished two days and they were biting. Thank you Sandy and Ed.

Relaxing Stay
We really enjoyed our time at this lovely cabin. Quiet, peaceful location and lots of great fishing :-) Photos are representative of the interior and the cabin was very clean, which goes a long way with me! :-) The kitchen was adequately stocked and having the grill to use outside was very nice. Sandy was very responsive to any questions and very helpful. Would stay again!

Perfect
We had our annual girls “camping” trip at this beautiful cabin. Not only was it clean, but fully equipped with anything/everything we could want for a fun weekend at the lake. Many child friendly games and activities were provided as well. The lake is calm and quiet and perfect for the littles to swim. We all enjoyed using the kayaks/paddle word as well. Can’t say enough good things!! We loved it.

Our third visit--as nice as ever
After a year away, we returned to Ed and Sandy's cabin on the lake. It was everything that we had remembered--the quiet lake, the family of loons, the hummingbirds. It was a peaceful week.
