Charming and spacious 5 bedroom, 3 bath,19 guest home on peaceful keewahtin lake

Welcome to Keewahtin Lake Home, recently renovated with new paint, carpet and flooring throughout the whole house, we have recently added an additional bunk bed which opens the house to sleep 19!. This Lake Home has a modern feel that will feel cozy, fun and spacious for you and your family and/or friends. Tucked away only 30 miles from the Twin Cities this charming home has 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, It can sleep a total of 19 guests.

This lake home sits on almost an acre with 340 feet of shoreline, which is a lot of space for yard games, bonfires, lounging in a hammock and spending time making memories. Keewahtin Lake is a private lake with no boat launch access, which has kept it free of invasive species and pollution and the water is crystal clear as only residents have access to by boat.
For Spring/Summer rental, there is a Sun Tracker Party Barge 21.9 foot pontoon that seats up to 12 or 1,800 lbs for additional rent if you choose to use. In addition, we do offer 2 paddle boats, 2 kayaks and canoe for your use with no additional cost. These are all on our new sandy beach we added just for your use.
Keewahtin lake is 40 feet deep at the deepest, and has some good structure with a lot of great fishing spots. Loons, trumpeter swans and other waterfowl are present on this very quiet lake. If u want to explore some larger lakes, Forest Lake and Big Marine are only a mile away which will have multiple boat launches if needed. Also not far away are Green lake, Chisago, north and south center lakes. White bear and Bald eagle lakes, Centerville, Peltier, and Clear are all nearby.
Inside you will enjoy quality time cooking food in a beautiful open kitchen with double stove, griddle, air fryer, croc pot, microwave, pizza oven, convection oven that opens to the fire place room where you can play board games, cards or watch tv.

If you love to golf, there are multiple courses within a 10 min drive. Or if you want to make your way east, Stillwater Mn is only a 23 minute drive and there you will find cute shops, lots of bars and restaurants overlooking the River, or take a stroll across the Stillwater Bridge. If your travel north 25 minutes you can hike and explore Taylor’s Falls or William Obrien state park, interstate state park or wild river state park. The Old Log Cabin Restaurant is just across the road from Keewahtin Ave, and if you travel 5 miles into Forest Lake youll find many more Restaurants including mexican like Rancho loco, Mallards for seafood, Norman quaks, Grillium and Loan Oak Grille which are all right in Forest Lake.

Quiet Lake House
Great house for a large crowd, lots of spaces! The game room is great, although we did not use it as the weather was fabulous and we enjoyed the outdoors. The lake is small but quiet. We enjoyed the pontoon and did some swimming in the lake. We also used the canoe and kayaks. Close to Walmart/Target should you need anything. The kitchen is stocked pretty good, but I always bring what I need for preparing meals. Communication with Tee is awesome, she responds right away! Check it out!

Great house for families
This place was a gem! The weather was partly rainy and cooler while we were there, but there was SO much to do for our 6, 4, and 1 year olds that no one was bored. Plenty of games inside, beach toys outside, and we finished every night off with a fire by the water. An overall terrific stay!

Review
The overall cleanliness of the property was not the best. It was lightly cleaned but was in need of a deeper clean everywhere. There were spider webs all over. The fridge had sticky spills/stains on the shelves. Most of the outdoor chairs had not been cleaned in a long time and needed to be wiped down. If you sat on them your clothes were dirty. The outdoor grill was pretty much unusable as none of the burners functioned properly and the grill was rusted out and in need of a pressure wash to use it.

The perfect retreat for a family
This was the perfect place for my family's vacation. The house was spacious with several options to gather or have alone time. We enjoyed the indoor games and the many outdoor games and activities. The house sits on a private lake. The water was clean for swimming and kayaking and we enjoyed the time on the boat. Our trip was peaceful and relaxing. The owners were available and easy to work with. We will stay here again if we are ever in the area.

You'll LOVE It!
This property is perfect for large gatherings. We had 15 people ranging from ages 4 to 70 and everyone had a great time. There is a large game room, ample sleeping and sitting areas. My family members enjoyed the sandy beach and swim area, the kayaks, canoe and paddle boats. Fishing was fun, caught and released. Grandson caught a 5 pound (yes, we weighed it) largemouth bass from the end of the dock. We especially enjoyed the campfire pit. There were plenty of outdoor lawn chairs so that we could all gather around the fire for s'mores. I highly recommend this home. One note - get your leg exercises in prior to your stay. My legs were screaming "mercy" after 5 days of running up and down stairs several times per day. (I live in AZ where stairs are not common. Haha.)

Short family trip
This was a great spot for a multi-generational get together! We were close to Osceola's Pumpkin Express and Taylor Fall's Interstate Park. At the house we caught fish, built sand castles, threw rocks in the lake, played air hockey and board games. There was a lot of space for us to spread out! Tee was a responsive and helpful host. Thank you Tee!

Beautiful, spacious lake home
This home was perfect for our girls weekend. There were 10 of us in total and we all comfortably had a place to stay. The power unfortunately went out due to a storm when we arrived, but the owners were on top of it. They quickly brought us flashlights and candles. It was back on shortly after. The communication was wonderful. I felt like the pictures on the site didn’t do this place justice, as we were pleasantly surprised with how beautiful and clear the beach was. The large kitchen with the island and a wet bar was perfect for our group. There was plenty of comfortable seating around the home and we never once felt crowded. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we’d love to come back!

Perfect cabin weekend with short drive from metro
We loved staying at this property! The distance from MSP was perfect to have a getaway feel but not have too long of a drive. The house was very roomy and the lake was so nice and clear. We loved all the water toys available. So fun to take coffee out for a morning paddle around the lake. Great communication from hosts. We will definitely look to book again in the future!

A little bit of everything
Large, quiet, private & accommodating house nestled in a beautiful wooded area shored on a private 150 acre lake. In a few miles you can get to restaurants, stores and a huge public lake if you wanted. A little 15-20 min drive south you can hit the known quaint shopping town of Stillwater, MN. If it’s big city adventure you desire, the Twin cites are only 1/2 hr away. So you really do have a little bit of everything.

Wonderful week!
Though we had some problems with the Wi-Fi and boat Tee and Mo were great to work with. They resolved our problems promptly without hesitation. The house was clean and comfortable everything we needed for our family of 10 was provided for us. The lake is crystal clear and the lily pads and waterfowl made our time on there relaxing. We visited Castlewood golf course the staff there were wonderful, we rented a set of clubs, and the course was well cared for. Dinner at The Old Log Cabin was delicious and the waitress was very attentive. Overall I would highly recommend staying here!!

Awesome lake home
Our family had a great time at Keewahtin Lake House. It was my husband and I, our kids and their spouses, and grandkids, 13 total. The house was big enough for everyone to spread out separately or all hang out together in one area. The wweather was perfect during our stay, so it was great having the kayaks, canoe and paddleboat, and we rented their pontoon as well, so that was a nice option to have. There's a nice little sand area for the little ones to play near the water, and a nice firepit area with plenty of chairs available to sit around the fire together. The game room downstairs was a great added bonus too. Some went to the nearby golf course one day, and we all went to Running Aces Casino to watch the horse races, as it is only about 10- 15 minutes away. The home was clean and comfortable. Tee was very easy to communicate with and always answered back quickly. We would highly recommend this house and hope to make it back again. Thank you for the awesome stay! Buttell family

Our 4 kids, their better halfs, and our 4 year old granddaughter loved this lake home! Tons of space! The pictures do not tell the whole story- it has large cozy rooms and great spaces. Loved the big sectional in the great room where we all spent our late evenings sharing stories. Kitchen was fully stocked and then there was the backyard…lots of memories made in the backyard, at the fire pit each evening, in the sand, paddle boats and fishing off the dock. We rented the pontoon and spent 2 full days in the sun while fishing and floating near the boat! Hosts were great with communication and easy to connect with. Would stay again! Thanks for a great time!
