Lake
Built by local craftsmen in 2013, the cabin sits at the edge of Strawberry Lake, which is beautiful in all seasons but holds a special charm in the summertime. The air is warm, the sun shines bright and clear, and the deep green foliage dapples the glassy lake. Guests can enjoy all of this lush scenery from the spacious deck under the trees at the cabin, from morning coffee to an evening glass of wine.
No matter who guests are traveling with, the hosts highly recommend a canoe trip out on Strawberry Lake. The hosts' provide the canoe for guests! The water here is calm and peaceful, with less motorboat traffic than on many of the lakes in this area. Not to mention the water clarity: spring-fed Strawberry Lake is so clear, visitors can see almost 17 feet straight down to the bottom!
In summer, the Tamarac Lake National Wildlife Refuge, located just three miles away, comes alive and is a spectacular place for a hike or a bike ride. When you get back from outdoor adventuring, guests can heat up the gas or charcoal grill and get their energy back with a perfectly cooked lakeside burger. As the sun starts to sink and the stars begin to appear, guests can prepare the fire pit for a heavenly dessert of gooey toasted s’mores over a crackling flame. The cool air of Minnesota summers makes fireside chats comfortable long into the evening.
Should guests need to pick up basic groceries, get gas, a fishing license, bait, they will be just a 15-minute drive from the friendly neighboring town of Richwood.
