The Lakeside suite is about 1,000 sq. ft. on the 2nd floor of this 140-year-old brick home. In this hilly, wooded area, we are on/above Big Stone Lake & in town. In this park-like setting watch sunsets, with the inhabitants of the old oak trees or have a fire & smores. I’ll send a door security code sent to you.
The stairway is shared with the Tower Suite, & your door is at the top left.
No smoking on the property.

The space
This was a family home until the l930's, when the upstairs was converted into two apartments. We rent both. Guests have about 1,000 square feet which includes private entrance, bedroom (Queen mattress), living room, shower/bath, dinette, kitchen, & a deck in the trees. We live on the main floor and try to be available if you have any questions. In addition to a queen bedroom this suite has a daybed & trundle. The linens are upgraded each year & the floors & woodwork are original.

Where you’ll be

Ortonville, Minnesota, United States

Lakewood Lodge is a great place for dinner & just up the road a mile. Our Carnegie Library is a block away. Many Friday nights Sioux Historic Pavillion built in the early 1900's, still is open for rollerskating and is just a mile away. Ortonville was a tourism hot spot at the turn of the century & our downtown is bustling with new businesses every year.
Across the lake are some of the original cabins built for Chautauqua Park, a community learning & vacation center active at the turn-of-the-century and into the 1930's. Many local artists show their work downtown in our art gallery. There are several antique treasure troves to visit. I have quite a few myself and have them displayed downstairs if you'd like to shop or look on Etsy for Prairiemere. For being on the prairie, the immediate area is very hilly, thickly wooded, and situated at the south end of Big Stone Lake. You can expect to watch nature up close. My husband & I have lived here all our lives and can direct you to anything you wish to see.

My favorite things are photography, writing, sculpting, meeting new people who come through this little town & selling on Etsy. Shop name, Prairiemere. I walk everyday, love my family, reading, and growing flowers. I like food, but can't seem to commit to cooking, and always drop everything for storm clouds or a lovely sunset. As a host, I care that your beds are clean and comfortable (pillow tops), that everything is decorated well, and you get quiet for a good night's sleep. I've lived here for my forever and can direct you to nearly anything the area has to offer or know someone who can. We have a 130-year-old home located on Big Stone Lake. It's pretty here, in the middle of the prairies, we are hills, valleys, trees, and water. My motto, I suppose, would be respect everyone and the earth.
