Private - Secluded Lake Home/Sleeps up to 20 people

Northwoods Private Vacation Home is set on the shores of Turtle Lake with 30 acres of tall pines and tress. This 20-person secluded-private home has seven bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms an extensive yard with plenty of space for our family enjoyment.

This private, seven-bedroom cabin retreat is cozy and spacious with a central stone fireplace and stunning custom woodwork. The fully equipped modern kitchen is stocked with cookware and new appliances, while an open dining area and adjacent breakfast bar provides plenty of eating space for the whole group.

You can sit and relax in either of the sitting/living room areas or on the out side deck. On the main floor it is furnished with sofas, recliner, gas fireplace and satellite TV. There is a four season porch with a table and chairs surrounded by windows over looking the lake. The ground level has pool table, bar sink, futon couch, couch and a half, satellite TV and walks out to the fire pit with two picnic tables and Adirondack chairs. The large deck overlooking the lake has deck furniture and a a gas grill. Sunsets are amazing from here!!!

Outside you can enjoy the expansive yard, fire pit, Adirondack chairs and picnic tables or relax on the dock, play on the swim raft, build sand castles at the sandy beach or use the play set with the kiddos. We do offer pontoons, boat and motors, canoes, kayaks, hydro bikes, paddle boards and paddle boats for rent at Camp Holiday Resort & Campground. During the winter you can hop on the snowmobile trail, snow showing, hiking and ice fishing.

Sleeping arrangements: Northwoods Private Vacation Home has seven bedrooms furnished with a master suite with king-sized bed overlooking Turtle Lake, one king-sized bed, five queen-sized beds, three twin-sized beds, futon couch and a chair and half. There are also 4.5 baths with two jacuzzi tubs.

Things to do!

Our guests at Northwoods Private Vacation Home are perfectly set up to enjoy their vacation time both indoors and outdoors, in any weather. This home is situated right at the lake’s edge with a private boat dock and a small sandy swimming area that is shallow enough for wading.

Turtle Lake is a great place to fish and explore, with a scenic shoreline and 100 acres of shallow water reaching a max depth of 32 feet. Turtle Lake connects to the larger Partridge Lake via a narrow channel that can be fun to navigate with pontoons, canoes and kayaks. These lakes are full of largemouth bass, northern pike, crappie and sunfish.

When you’re not on the water, you can venture out into the surrounding countryside for mountain biking, trail biking, golf, hiking, shopping from antiques to knick knacks to clothing, movies theaters, Grand casino Mille Lacs, concerts and unique local restaurants. All within 5 to 40 minute drive.

Family Vacation
We absolutely loved our stay at the property. The kitchen was well equipped, the rooms and bathrooms were cleaned, and the pool table was a great amenity. However, after a few hours of checking in, we were surprised by a BAT that flew out of the Master bedroom into the living room area. We were luckily able to get rid of the bat without anyone being harmed but I would highly recommend the place be thoroughly checked after every checkout. Aside from this encounter, we would rent again!

Enjoyed the 7 bedrooms giving everyone a little time to themselves. Dining and living rooms large enough for cards and games for everyone. The pool table was a big hit, having pool tournaments. The 2 fridges were a nice thing in the kitchen, having enough room for all the food.

Great winter wonderland
The house was everything we expected. Our family came for a relaxing time post-Christmas and we were not disappointed. It even snowed a little to make a fairyland in the forest while we were there (although we doubt that our hostess had anything to do with the snow). The well-funished kitchen, the pool table, the quiet location, etc., all helped make this a nice experience.

Great retreat
Great retreat spot close to the Twin Cities. For our family of 14 it worked well. The surroundings were beautiful with perfect fall colors and weather. The kitchen and family areas were all perfect for gathering together. The online description and pictures were accurate and the hosts were readily responsive to any questions.

Plenty Space for Family celebration
Location and space worked well for our family with relatives, 17 all together. Very private space and owners were responsive to a few minor issues- internet and plumbing. Plenty of cookware that is in excellent shape. Bring all seasonings and oils for cooking. It was an excellent week and very relaxing. I would recommend to others!

Wonderful home for big family gathering
We have stayed here twice, bringing together 4 busy families for a weekend of board games, food and many laughs. The amount of space and the layout is great for everyone to gather or to split up. It’s an easy drive to/from the Twin Cities too.

Family ice fishing
We had a wonderful weekend with family from Texas, California, Arizona, and Missouri. Beautiful home everything that we needed. Some of the family members bucket list was to ice fish. We had no such luck fishing. Only one fish caught out of three days, but we made lots of memories and had lots of laughs. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home.

Really nice location w/accommodating hosrs
The place was perfect for our family gathering. Loved the large kitchen with all the seating. The hosts was very helpful and an excellent communicator ensuring we had everything necessary to enjoy our stay. She even dropped off a cue ball when I emailed her to let her know one was missing. Super flexible with check in and out as well. Definitely a great place to stay for a large crowd!

Christmas at a lovely lake house
We really enjoyed our time at this property. The house was secluded and on a lovely piece of property. There was ample parking spaces and two cars were able to go in the garage. The double sided fireplace provided nice warmth on the main level and felt cozy. The water was hot and the dining room table was perfect for sliding I. And out of the Benches on both sides.

The house and area are fabulous! The house pictures do not capture how beautiful and well maintained the property is. There is plenty of privacy and lots of yard space for outdoor games. We had a marriage vow renewal ceremony on the lawn in a wooded area of the yard. It was just lovely ! The house is big, beautiful with plenty of room for us to gather and also have time apart. It is an incredible place! We enjoyed our week here very much!
