Book Sturgeon Lake hotels

Our family of four and our dog were looking for a low-key time and we got it! The weather was great, the house was cute and clean and the pontoon was an added bonus! We just spent time playing cards, fishing and hanging out on the water. Perfect getaway from the business of life.

It was clean and quaint

We stayed for a long weekend and we’re excited to see that it was so secluded and and had the up north cabin vibe. Everything was clean and had all the amenities we needed and more. The questions we asked the host were answered in a timely manor. The screened in porch got used the most and was nice getaway from the bugs. Nothing we didn’t like about it.

The cabin was lovely and very clean! It was stocked with everything we needed and had plenty of space for our family of 6.

We spent 2 relaxed weeks with 2-4 adult family members. Picture postcard location, highest lot on beautiful Island Lake. Little sound from boaters, but some I-35 noise (nearby lakes the same). Friendly but well-separated neighbors on one side, undeveloped forest on the other. Access is by a paved but lightly trafficked road. A dock, clear water and sandy beach reward those who brave the 45 sturdy stairs. You can rest on spacious platforms or pick up a life jacket in the shed. The large yard is perfect for kids. Toys include: paddle boards, water mat, pedal boat, ping-pong table, foosball table...even a baseball and gloves. Loons sang every night. Also seen: ducks, eagle and hawk. A good queen bed is found in each of the 2 bedrooms. An enclosed breezeway to the game room holds bunkbeds and a pullout mattress. A folding couch in living room is the best spot on rare hot nights. The home can sleep 9, but scheduling the single bathroom could be delicate. Good washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, gas range and oven, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. No garbage disposal. Rudimentary cookware: chefs will want to bring their own cookware. Large internet TV with OTA antenna—yay! Smaller TV in game room. Water is softened for bathing, but non-Minnesotans will want to bring their own, iron-free drinking water. Good air flow, screens on most windows, quality ceiling fans in all rooms. The breezeway can be occupied “flat”; other rooms require a few stairs.

Our family of 8 enjoyed our time! The lake is beautiful with excellent fishing right off the dock! It was very private which was nice. Thank you Jim and Katie for making the check out process much easier then most VRBO stays, much appreciated!
