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.

Guest access
There is free Valet Service if you & your luggage want a lift. Just let me know when, & I’ll be there. The driveway is requires an AWD or 4WD to maneuver the hill. It's too steep for cars or long-bed pick-ups. If you have a car, there are several spaces above the house where I parked for 20 years. There are 19 interior stairs to the suite. If you can, the climb is worth it. The deck brings you up in the trees with the birds and squirrels & a quiet you won't believe. I provide coffee for the c.maker & muffins. If you wish to cook, the kitchen has all the necessary equipment. Otherwise, there is a coffee shop/restaurant & pizza place about 3 blocks away.

Other things to note
In our yard, you can go down to the dock or the beach is just a block away. We have a small basketball court and a fire pit for smores. There are several types of bike rides, serene nature-filled flat rides or as many hills as one could ask for. Fishing & hunting are big activities here, and swimming, and so much nature to see--virgin prairie, birds of all types, the wildlife refuge, the lake, the Nielson Park Trails just above us, and my personal favorite, all sunsets right out front.
