Ultra Private Lake Home on Sandy Beach!

***5 day minimum stay required during June, July and August (peak season).

This Leech Lake home in Trader's Bay is located on what is considered to be the best stretch of beach on the entire lake. The beach is sandy and the water is clear and weed free.

On a dead end road, this property is extremely private for families. It is a completely remodeled home with 3 bedrooms in the main house along with a separate bedroom and bathroom space in the renovated garage living space with 2 twin beds. The detached living quarter space has its own bathroom, small private patio and sliding door to the lake (this detached space is ONLY available mid May-mid October as it's otherwise winterized.)

The property includes a dock and a lift for renters. Docks are put in after ice out and taken out mid/late October. Times vary per year according to weather. It's approximately 15 minutes from downtown Walker.

The property is professionally decorated and includes extra fun touches such as family board games, outdoor bean bag toss game (cornhole), gas fireplace in main living area, smart TVs, wi-fi, rustic playhouse for kids and a screened in gazebo with gas firepit. Smoke free, pet free home clean and inviting home.

Additionally, an outdoor shower makes for convenient lake life! For the ultimate lake life experience, we have another firepit (wood supplied to guests) at the lake's edge with Adirondack chairs for comfort.

A king size bedroom suite on the second level walks out onto a 2nd level deck with outdoor seating and additional gas firepit.

We can't put into words how amazing the lake and beach are at our property. The soft sand and very shallow entry into the water make this the PERFECT spot for family's with kids. Our kids can touch the sandy bottom well beyond the dock!!

This property is on 9 acres. Although we have a lot of room to roam, we ask that all renters respect our 8 person limit throughout their stay. We do not allow campers or tents to exceed this limit either. violating this rule will result in losing damage deposits.

The following is provided to renters: most necessary kitchen utensils/dinnerware/cookware, toaster, coffee maker, crockpot, bed linens, bath linens, firewood, gas grill, paddleboard, paddle boat, cornhole bean bag gane and ping pong table.

Boat lift: Uncovered, fits 19-20ft boat length up to 5,000 pounds. Docks and lift are removed sometime every October and every attempt is made to put them back in time for fishing opener. Timing depends on when the ice is off the lake and we are unable to offer a guaranteed date they are in or out because of these factors.

***5 day minimum stay required during June, July and August (peak season).

***Mid October - May the garage living quarters (bedroom/bath) are inoperable as they are winterized. Dock is also taken out during that timeframe.

***We do have an OUTDOOR security camera on our property that is motion activated. Camera is located on garage roofline and faces main home front deck.

***We pride ourselves on PERFECT accommodations for renters; however, Leech Lake typically has a Mayfly hatch for approximately 10 days mid to late June. This does somewhat effect the water quality and our normally pristine water and outdoor areas. Anyone renting during this timeframe acknowledges this disclaimer.

*** Our home is pet free. Violation of pets on property will result in a $250 additional cleaning fee.

***This property is in the thick of Minnesota northern lake country. Insects, all nature related creatures and weather elements will surround you on our property. We believe it's part of the charm of our private oasis, however, if that's not for you we understand and recommend you stay at a daily maintained resort.

Beautiful Property!
We had an amazing time staying at this property! The amenities were great and the property felt very family friendly. It was also nice how private the location is, but not too far from town.

Amazing Stay!
Mike and Emily are so awesome and we just love their house so much. This was our second time here during the fall and this time we brought family with us. Fall colors were really popping this time of the year. Property is so peaceful and private. Two master bedrooms makes this perfect for couples. Lake view is a 10+. Thank you for our beautiful, quiet lake house vacation!

Beautiful lake home. Great hosts.
This is a lovely home and property. The house is updated and beautifully decorated. The property is very large. Great view of lake and many places to sit outside. We spent the majority of our time on the lower deck, and around the fire pit by the lake. Our adult children enjoyed the garage, where there is a ping pong table and foosball. They had corn hole available (which we thoroughly enjoyed). The rooms are lovely, beds very comfortable. Great communication with the hosts. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Another great week for us!
This was our 2nd stay here and we enjoyed it once again! Communication with owners through text was always met with quick response so if you ever have any questions or issues they are taken care of. Spectacular beach area for kids (and adults) of any age. Plenty of kitchenware and utensils for large groups, very quiet and private. Will be staying again! Paul

Be prepared to bring your own pillows and bedding
The house was very nice, however, the bedding and sheets all were terrible and smell like cat urine. Previous renters had not taken care of the place because it was not in good order when we arrived. The paddle boards and beach equipment were all old and damaged. The Internet barely worked, and the TVs would not connect to the Internet. The house looked nice, but the basic functionality like bedding and comfort of the bed , along with the sheets and pillows, smelling like cat urine , all left a lot to be desired . …. I would’ve expected more for 600 a night. I’m not convinced anything is washed in between guests.

Spacious on the bay
If you’re looking for a spacious updated lake cabin tucked into the trees on the bay this is your place. My family and I stayed here for our yearly week vacation at a lake cabin. We chose this cabin based on the location and size. The beach was great and private. It was nice to not have lots of boat traffic out front. The cabin itself was spacious and perfect for all 6 adults and an infant. 2 adults stayed in the guest cabin which has its own bathroom. The guest cabin also has a foosball table and ping pong table which was a fun addition. The kitchen was well stocked with the basic necessities that you would need for cooking. The fireplace was a plus especially with the chillier nights we had towards the end of our stay. There is an acorn tree above the cabin and the acorns fall quite often making it sound like it is hailing. We didn’t mind the acorns but heads up if you’re sitting outside enjoying the decks as they might fall on you! The only negative we had about our stay was the towels and bedding smelled musty. As if they were left in the washer too long before the cleaning crew came and put in the dryer. The owner, Emily, was great at responding to our remote fiasco and even had a replacement sent up during our stay which was so not necessary but appreciated! The cabins neighbor came over and let us know about the nuisance black bear in the area which was greatly appreciated as well. Overall, we had a great time staying here and would recommend. Emily, you have a lovely lake cabin. Thank you for sharing it with our family.
