Secluded Lakefront Lodge in Iowa's Great Lakes

This year-round home sits on 6.5 acres in southwest Minnesota with over 400' of elevated shoreline. The cabin is a two-story structure with loft. Guests will enjoy comfortable accommodations including 4 Sleep Number beds (2 King beds, 2 Queen beds), 1 full size Tempur-Pedic bed, 1 queen size sofa sleeper, 2 roll-away twin size beds, dining to accommodate 12+ meal guests, two full bathrooms (main floor and basement levels), laundry facilities, etc.

This cabin fuses Northern Minnesota lodge feel with modern utilitarian features. A deck with large gas grill off the kitchen allows guests to prepare and serve meals without missing any of the action. The loft and open floor plan allow for a beautiful east-facing view of peaceful Loon Lake. Walkout basement with large patio promotes relaxed socializing with room for family and friends to play in the yard.

Two private docks are included on site with public boat ramp access only 1 block away. Other amenities include full service kitchen, Keurig coffee maker, stoneware service of 8+, cookware, free WiFi, two gas fireplaces (one in basement and one on main floor), satellite television (Dish Network), video game console (Xbox One), free on-site laundry, keyless entry, and ample parking. Kayaks, canoe, and small fishing boat are all available for rent as well (contact owners for availability and pricing).

As for local attractions, guests can enjoy golfing, walking / riding bike trails, swimming, fishing, hunting nearby public lands, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and so on. For especially large groups (i.e., exceeding the cabin's capacity), friends and family are encouraged to utilize the neighboring Jackson County campgrounds (Anderson, Brown, and Robertson all within one mile). These campgrounds offer campsites with electricity (20, 30, and 50 amp service), rustic campsites, restrooms, hot showers, and playground equipment.

If guests wish to explore a larger area, there are two breweries, two wineries, a drive-in theater, movie theater, boutiques, antique shops, spas, flea markets, waterpark, amusement park, concerts and nightlife all within 15 miles or less. This property definitely gives you the space needed to spread out and relax in a quiet family atmosphere. Yet it is close enough to take in the Okoboji experience when the time is right.

Loon Lake is located in Jackson County, Minnesota. This lake covers 679 acres. It is approximately 7 feet deep at its deepest point. Anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including Bigmouth Buffalo, Black Bullhead, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Lake Sturgeon, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, White Sucker, Yellow Bullhead and Yellow Perch.

Perfect in all ways!
This property is amazing in many ways. It is completely private, has two docks and two fireplaces. It is very well stocked with all supplies, very clean and spacious and has a lot of little surprises like dog treats, frozen beer glasses in the freezer, many games to play etc. We have stayed at many cabins and this one rates the highest of all of them! We will be back!!

Great Getaway Spot
Communication with hosts was excellent. The spot was beautiful and quiet for the most part. There was great access to the lake with two dock options. Neighbors were a little noisy in building their addition, but no other issues outside of that. The lodge was accommodating and loved having two fire pits with plenty of firewood. It was a nice little nature reset for my husband and I, although we both said it would be a great spot to bring the rest of our immediate family since we’re so many beds.

Great secluded beautiful cabin
We recently rented this amazing cabin. Although our stay was unfortunately right after all the flooding, my family had a blast fishing off the main dock. The large fire pit was used several times for making smores and just enjoying family. We were very satisfied with the cabin and all the special memories shared with all of our family members. We were close enough to Spirit Lake and Lake Okoboji. I loved showing my grand children Arnold’s Park and experiencing nutty bars with them. So much to do nearby. Thank you Chad and Kim for providing a beautiful home to share priceless memories.

Perfect!
Everything you need plus some. We stayed with 3 boys ages 3, 6, and 8. This house had everything to keep us all entertained even when our outdoor plans where dampened by the weather a bit. The location itself is stunning, then to have all the amenities provided inside too was just top of the line! Very clean, very welcoming!

Great lakefront stay
Quiet, peaceful, and clean. Good fishing, great amenities, and a very cozy place for a lakefront getaway. The whole process was organized and simple, and the home has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Bait shop nearby, 10 mins from Spirit Lake.

Perfect family trip
This was the first vacation that my family has been able to take in a long while and it was wonderful! The yard was large enough to play games and have a fire and the lake perfect for our kids to kayak. The drive into Okoboji was short and easy and we found lots to do. With a large family, it's hard to keep everyone happy, yet they all can't wait to come back!

Friends Get-a-Way
We had 8 adults and 2 dogs spend 4 nights at Kim and Chad's cabin. We loved how secluded and private it was! The yard is huge and our dogs loved running around and going swimming. The water access was probably the only downfall since it is a steep climb down and only a rocky area to get in the water. The steps down and the dock are both well-maintained, so it was still nice to go onto the water! The best way is to use the Lily Pads they provide to jump onto to get into the water. The cabin itself was very nice and clean with quality furniture. The beds are all Sleep Number, so make sure to check the settings! We all slept with the setting at 100 the first night until we realized it was adjustable. All the different sleeping options were very nice so we were able to spread out with a spacious bed. The patio with the firepit right by it was our favorite place to hang out. Kim was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. Definitely recommend!
