Lake Home, salt water hot tub, sauna, boat rental

This special 1.7 acre lot offers lakeside living that creates an unforgettable getaway experience (all with the convenience of a short commute to St Paul & Minneapolis). In the summer, your family and friends will enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, boating, bonfires, and incredible fishing. In the winter enjoy the nearby snowmobiling trails, cross country skiing, ice skating, ice fishing, wood burning fireplace, and time in the hot tub & outdoor barrel sauna!

The space
The Clear Lake Cottage has all the charm of being an original Farmhouse built in 1915, along with modern furnishings and updates throughout the entire floor plan. The Clear Lake Cottage invites you to get away and experience the "Up North Lake Life" without the hassle of long distance travel. All bedrooms are on the second floor, creating great opportunities for rest throughout your stay. Your family and friends will enjoy cooking meals in the updated kitchen or firing up the grill on the back deck. You will be sure to marvel at the west facing floor to ceiling windows in the family room that capture the majesty of every sunset. It will be tough to decide whether you watch the sunsets from the comfort of your family room, next to a fire on the lakeside patio or sitting on the end of the dock with your feet dangling in the water. The Clear Lake Cottage offers activities for all ages during all seasons! Spring, Summer & Fall offer great fishing for walleye & bass, swimming in sand/rock bottom Clear Lake, boating (pantoon available by request & fee), paddle boarding, playing lawn games, walking/biking on the nearby paved trail system, or getting a sun tan on the dock. Winter months attract the sport of ice fishing, snowmobiling on nearby trails, crafting and quilting groups, family holiday gatherings, spiritual retreats, jumping into the outdoor hot tub and building many fires in the wood burning fireplace onsite. We also have connections with a private chef who can offer in-home premium experiences during your rental. These services are a separate fee and can include tablescapes, cocktails, wine pairings, old fashioneds & cigars, as well as a variety of other experiential combinations. Your relaxation and memories await at the Clear Lake Cottage!

The neighborhood
Forest Lake is a town with great heritage and growth in recent years! We enjoy getting a cup of joe or latte at Kodiak Coffee or the Coffee Smith, picking up scrumptious cinnamon rolls from Keys Cafe to eat on the dock and getting a sweet treat at the local ice cream shop in the downtown area. There are wonderful restaurants all within 5-7 minutes if you're wanting to enjoy a meal out or grab take out! Our personal favorites are: Mallards, Zoukmaya & Shoreside Bar & Grill. There are also fun antique shops located downtown: Vintage Junky is one that has awesome handmade items! Another relaxing option for individuals or groups is to book a day at the full service LeGrande Spa on Forest Lake, just 7 minutes away from the Clear Lake Cottage. Taylors Falls is 25 minutes away and offers great hiking, rafting, climbing and unforgettable views in all seasons! Target, Walmart, Aldi, Cub, and Home Depot are also within 8 minutes of the Clear Lake Cottage if you should need to grab any extra groceries or supplies during your stay.

Clear Lake Cottage shares a long private driveway with our neighbors. This creates the perfect separation for relaxation & quiet! There is parking for a max of 8 vehicles on the driveway behind the garage. (The volleyball court, basketball hoop and kid playground are on our neighbors property, please refrain from trespassing). No RV parking is permitted due to having a narrow & shared driveway. Please observe our quiet hours listed in our house rules information (10pm-8am).

Getting around
Uber & Lyft are popular apps for getting around town if you do not have personal transportation.

The Hardwood Creek Regional Trail is within walking distance of Clear Lake Cottage. It is a paved, 9.5-mile multiple-use trail in all seasons. The trail consists of two parallel trails which run adjacent to State Highway 61, from County Road 8 (Frenchman Road) in Hugo to the Washington/Chisago County Line in Forest Lake.

The paved trail portion is for bikers, hikers, and in-line skaters, skiers and snowshoeing. In the winter, the paved trail is not groomed. The adjacent turf trail portion is for horses in the summer and snowmobiles in the winter. The Forest Lake snowmobile club grooms the turf trail in the winter.

Perfect place for 6 adults and 4 teens. The place was just as advertised. The kids loved the game table downstairs and the bags game outside. The huge dinner table was great for game night. The hot tub and sauna was also enjoyable. Kids had fun on the paddle board and Lilly Pad. We would book this place again!

This is a beautiful house on a nice lake which we did paddle board in but it does have a smell to the water. The home is well stocked and clean but note that 2 bathrooms are on different level than the bedrooms. The hot tub is very warm and jets are great! We didn’t use the sauna because it was very warm outside but it looks amazing.

We had such a wonderful stay at Clear Lake Cottage! Check in/Check out were easy and Rebecca was very responsive. The home is beautiful and was very thought out, filled with everything you could possibly need. The lake is wonderful and we had a fun night out for dinner at a newer restaurant in town called Zoukmaya. Everything is less than 10 min away making it such a convenient and easy place to stay. We would 100% recommend staying here and hope to be back soon!

Great Family Getaway

Had a great family Labor Day getaway weekend! The house was a great setup for a variety of teens and young adults. The kitchen and dining room were great. The lake wasn't too busy. The lakeside firepit was awesome. The gang really enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub, especially at night. Would happily stay here again.

Great location and spacious dining/living room

Was hoping for a snowy winter getaway with the fam, and unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. However, the house was still on a gorgeous lake, with a short walk into town (on a raised walking path nonetheless), and we had plenty of space to game and drink hot cocoa between hottub trips. Would certainly stay again!

Great Family Vacation Spot!

Our group of 8 adults and 2 kids (4 and 16 months) had a wonderful time at this great home! We rented the pontoon boat for two of the days and that was a definite highlight of our trip. We also really enjoyed the fire pit after dinner each night. We cooked all of our meals at the house and pretty much only left to get groceries. The views and especially sunsets are stunning! I would highly recommend this home!

We were pleasantly surprised to find this home available at such short notice - and even more excited when we got to the property. The decor and amenities were so thoughtfully curated for a very comfortable stay and just a short drive outside of the city. It felt like we went up north! The owners we’re flexible and accommodating and I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for R&R alone, as a family or with friends. The house can accommodate a good amount of people and kids!

Our stay was one of the most relaxing and amazing vacations my family has taken. Our kids loved swimming in the lake, fishing, making smores at the fire pit, and warming up in the hot tub. My parents enjoyed the spacious living/great room with beautiful lake views. My wife and I got to relax because everyone had something of their liking (haha). Rebecca was attentive and helpful in the check-in process and my questions along the way.

This property was amazing! 7 of us stayed for 2 nights for a girls get away. The host was very responsive with my questions. The kitchen was stocked with nice glasswares, cookwear, dishes, and even some random seasonings and canned goods. The salt water hot tub was clean and ready for soaking. We used the high quality paddle boards and brought tubes to sit in on the clear lake and it didnt smell. There is no beach area to sit in the sand but there were steps to get in the lake. There was so much room in the upstairs and the main area that we didnt even use the basement. Lots of outdoor areas to spread out. Could of used an umbrella to shade from the sun, and maybe there was one but I didnt ask. The grill was very nice. We'll manicured lawns. Such a spacious cute place to get away. Additional special touches? Host left a bag of yummy packaged cookie bars and packaged wet towelets for your face to avoid getting the white towels stained with make up. Definitely would recomend.
