Includes shag carpet, swag lights, yellow themed kitchen, knotty pine paneling, and rattan/wicker. If you long to experience that part of the past look no further! Being the 3rd generation owners we are so proud to keep my grandparent's original design aesthetic in mind as we continue to make upgrades and improvements. We warmly welcome you to experience our family lake home!The spaceClearwater Lake is home to 76 private residences of which only 12 are year-round residences, the rest of the lakeshore (approx 1/4) is undeveloped and owned by a youth camp, this lends itself to being a very quiet and "private like" lake. The lake itself is great for anglers (fishing guidebook available onsite) and is approx 900 acres.The entire home is approx 2200 sq/ft. There are 2 equal sized bedrooms on the main floor, one with a queen bed and the other with a full bed. The main floor is also home to the kitchen, dining room w/ a table to accommodate 10 guests, Living room w/ wood burning fireplace*, deck overlooking the lake and the "tree house" porch.

It is slightly rocky on the lakeshore on our property, I grew up swimming barefoot with no issues but if you are sensitive to smaller rocks and occasional seaweed underfoot we recommend water shoes.Guest accessAccess the entire 3 bedroom lake home with loft - plus one of the clearest & cleanest lakes in Minnesota, our two fire pits and plenty of wooded land and walking and biking opportunities on the Cuyuna trails.=> City of Crosby (approx 10 minutes north)- BRAND NEW Super One Grocery store (and Liquor Store)- Cuyuna mountain bike trails- Iron Range Eatery- Victual- Cuyuna Brewing Co.- North Country Café- Rafferty's Pizza- Spalding House Bar/Eatery- Burritos California- Hard Water Lounge- Farmers Market Saturday Mornings in Spring/Summer/FallBoat/pontoon rental:- Woodland Beach Resort- Bay Lake Marine- Sullivan’sGolf Courses:- Cuyuna Rolling Hills- Jack's 18 at Rutger's Lodge- The Classic at Maddens resort- Craguns Legacy courses- The Pines at Grand View LodgeIn Fall/Winter there are numerous ATV/Snowmobile/Cross Country Ski trails around the lake and area.
