- "This was a nice getaway from the cities for a few days. Although it rained the whole time it was very relaxing and had a nice fenced yard for our dogs! Thanks for letting us stay it was a pleasure!" - "Mark and Maria provided a perfect getaway for our family and friends. The view of Maple Lake is gorgeous and the downhill walk to the dock was manageable, even for my torn miniscus. We brought 3 kayaks and an SUP for 4 people, and Mark loaned us a personal kayak so we could all be more comfortable on the water. The kitchen was well-equipped. My friends' exact quote: "They literally have everything!". The dining room table sat 8 comfortably when we had guests come over for dinner, and the gas grill is huge. We made 15 burgers at once. The beds were decent for a cabin. Although we never had more than 4 sleeping on a night, there was certainly room for more, and the dogs had plenty of space to settle in comfortably on the couch, which is covered with a blanket. That helped me feel less guilty about the shedding. The best part of the trip was the lake. We spent the majority of our time either in the water, on the dock, or on the deck overlooking the lake. There was minimal traffic on the road between the house and the lake, and as I mentioned before, the stairs down were easy to manage for my town miniscus. The only caution I would put out here is bring drinking water if you don't tolerate well water, and there are some plants in the fenced in yard that are not dog-friendly. As log as you pay attention to your dogs while they are doing their business, everything should be fine. 100 percent will be renting again. Such a lovely, peaceful week for my family and friends. Thank you Mark and Maria!"

Though I’d suggest bringing a beach towel as the pool towels were pretty small and could wrap around the adults. Breakfast was great, small continental breakfast but there were still enough options for everyone. The hotel was also conveniently located next to restaurants, grocers, coffee shops, etc. Overall, great experience! "

The beds are comfortable (everyone slept great) The only frustrating thing was the check in process but that’s not the owners fault- we never got the email from VRBO with the check in code so had to reach out to the host to get the info. Besides that- wonderful stay! " - "Great house with lots of space. The house is close to downtown and is really clean. "

Who can't help but relax when you're at the lake? Enjoy the tranquil views of the middle section of Maple Lake. Well known for its water clarity and muskie, walleye and pan-fish fishing. Watch the beautiful sunsets from the patio then roast marshmallows under the stars in the beach-front firepit. Everything you need is here. Come...breathe...relax...enjoy!
The water is clean and clear with a sandy shoreline, just feet from the house. All linens, including bath towels and beach towels are provided. All cooking utensils, dishware, blankets, bedding, etc. is provided. Just pack your swim suit and sun-screen and head to the lake!
We have a metal dock, including sitting bench for your use. Fire pit with wood provided and gas grill with gas provided, as well, to make your vacation as easy and carefree as possible. If you are interested in renting a boat, pontoon or jet-ski, please inquire, as we can recommend rental companies in the area.
- "I have never been to MN before but a friend's wedding brought me out. We considered a hotel but decided to rent this amazing cabin. The cabin exceeded expectations and we are picky. Owner's attention to detail was amazing. The home is beautiful, functional, great view to a clear lake that was the perfect temp for some record heat! My family is from PA and we usually go to OBX annually. None of those rentals included the amenities and level of stuff to keep the whole family entertained. I can't recommend this place enough, it's stellar. If I ever get the chance to come back to MN in the summer I would absolutely rent this cabin again if available. There's a reason it's all 5 star reviews."

Welcome to the Beach House!!
This little piece of heaven is just what you've been looking for...and it is less than a one hour drive from the Twin Cities!!
It is the perfect place for families to relax, reconnect and have a whole lot of fun!!
The cabin has been stylishly decorated. You will feel the beachy vibes the minute you walk through the door.
There is a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a large fridge, oven/stove, microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, etc.
There is also a brand new gas grill and a Blackstone on the deck that you are welcome to use! There's nothing better than cooking breakfast on the Blackstone while looking at the beautiful lake!
The Outdoor space is where it's at! There are 2 large decks with plenty of seating, tables and space to share outdoor meals, 2 cement patios, 2 fire pits, and a comfy outdoor couch with an umbrella providing the perfect place to read or sneak in an afternoon nap.
The sandy beach is likely where you will want to spend most of your time!
We even have a kayak, canoe, 2 paddle boards, a water carpet, paddle boat and a swimming raft that you are welcome to use!
Fun things to do:
• If you bring your boat, make sure to go through the channel to Little Maple, anchor & float in the “Swimming Hole”. It’s a perfect place to chill on the water carpet! There are two public launches on the lake, the larger one is located on Hwy 55 and a smaller launch is on Hwy 37.
The best fishing spots : 🎣
• Bass and crappies and sunfish: right off our dock! Cast towards the swimming platform, the neighbors dock or drop a line right under our dock
• Walleye: directly across just off the point (so we’ve been told, we still haven’t caught one ourselves ) 😂
• Our favorite paddling route is to the point which is to the right when you are looking at the water. There is a great sandbar to hang out on and you
can walk around and check out the big lake
If you want to explore the area, check out:
Wright County Swapper’s Meet (if you like flea markets/junk )
Lake Maria State Park
And if it rains the Albertville Premium Outlets are less than 20 mins
away 😉
Great Places to Eat/Drink:
Irish Blessings Coffeehouse (The Sweet & Sassy breakfast sandwich and the Avocado toast are DELISH ) 😋
Maddigans (Prime Rib is AMAZING and they deliver!!)
Norm’s Wayside (it’s a biker bar but there is a great outdoor patio and the deep dish pizza & Messy Burger will blow your mind!!)
Spilled Grain Brewhouse
Mill Creek Inn (best bloody mary around!!)
Groceries/supplies:
• Basics are available at the “Country Store”/gas station
• There is a great grocery store in Annandale called “The Marketplace”
- "The Beach House was great for our 2 kids, us parents, and a friend. Great dock fishing and water toys were awesome!" - "Wonderful place close to the cities. Lake life with tons of extra things (black stone grill and water toys). Even had neighbors who offered to take our kids fishing. Lots of stairs to get to water, but worth it. Wonderful stay for anyone looking for a getaway." - "Our family of 5 enjoyed our time at The Beach House. The lake had everything we wanted. We were able to catch different types of fish off the dock and the raft. The paddle boards, kayak, water carpet and raft got a ton of use. The adults enjoyed the shaded deck by the lake where we were able to keep an eye on the kids while relaxing. The only con to the outdoor space was the number of stairs (35ish) between the lake and the cabin. The first night I made at multiple trips back and forth getting things but was smarter the next day and loaded everything we could need up in a big bag. Then we only had to trek back up to the cabin to use the bathroom and eat meals. Just something to be aware of if you have tiny kiddos. Our 4 year old did fine as long as he wasn't carrying anything. We used the table on the deck for all of our lunches and dinners with ease. There were multiple trays and large cutting boards available to carry things in and out. Nightly fires with smores were a great little treat before bed. The cabin itself was a bit smaller than expected but still worked well for our family of 5. We do wish there would have been bathroom washcloths and a throw blanket or two in the living room would have been great. We were surprised to find the beds unmade upon arrival. They all had clean bedding folded neatly on each bed but we were not prepared to run around making beds when we got there. As expected with a cabin in a wooded area on a lake, there were lots of bugs both inside and out. Not a big deal for the most part but something to be mindful of if you have a fear of spiders. We saw loons and a ton of chipmunks that would come right up on the deck. We had fun making up names for them and watching them scurry around. The Beach House was exactly what our family needed to get away for a few days before going back to school. We would recommend this space to anyone looking to spend time outside on the lake. We will likely be back at some point in the future."

- "This was a great property, particularly for those who enjoy time on the lake (fishing, kayaks, etc). The place was nice, with lots of sleeping room (ideal for families). The place was also stocked with all sorts of thoughtful "extras": coffees, linens, toiletries--all those things that you use at home but forget to take to a rental place--making for an easier stay. This was a really practical, enjoyable place to stay." - "We rented this house for Christmas in order to be close to other family members who live in St. Michael. This was a perfect location on a beautiful little lake. We were all able to gather in the downstairs family room, and the bunk beds made it so we had plenty of sleeping space (6 adults and one toddler). Our communication with the host was wonderful and always prompt. We would absolutely recommend!"

- "The home was charming." - "It was a pleasure to be hosted at this amazing home, right on Lake Buffalo and to feel so welcomed and supported during our stay." - "The home was very comfortable for our group. We loved having a complete bathroom on the upper floor. 2 bathrooms was very necessary. The beds were comfortable and the house was enjoyable to stay in." - "The house is perfect, location is stellar, views are lovely. The kitchen is stocked so perfectly to cook at home if you want. The outside seating area is comfy and pretty. Beds were all very comfy, too. We were all so stoked when we got to this property and got to settle in for a few days. I think my highlight of the place was the lake view out so many windows. Such a great time and we'll definitely be back."

- "The Lake Marth Cottage was a nice VRBO. Hosts were easy to work with and responsive. The amenities are fairly simple / basic but accurate to the descriptions. The lake itself is smallish but pleasant for paddling, swimming and fishing (we are amateures but the kids caught several small fish which was fun for them) . Other homeowners / vacationers were friendly. We enjoyed our stay." - "Everything was really great! Exactly as pictured! Really great owners, had no issues at all! 100% recommend! "

- "It was clean cozy lake cabin, comfortable and had a great view." - "It was a great place to stay on the lake. Nothing to do with the property, but it has been a very wet year here in Minnesota. With everything being saturated parking was a problem. Normal conditions it would’ve been perfect."

- "Property was well equipped with everything we needed. We loved the yard games and the dock was perfect to fish off of. We adored this stay and highly recommend it!" - "The vacation went great. We expected a lakeside house and that's exactly what it was. It was easy to find, pleasantly decorated, and well furnished. The kids had plenty of space and enjoyed everything about it. Evenings were spent playing games and making s'mores. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful whenever we asked a question or needed something. I would recommend some bug spray (only needed just after sunset - mosquitos weren't a problem any other time) and some drinking water."

- "Lovely home that was perfect for our family of 5 adults and one toddler. The lower area was a great hangout spot and all enjoyed playing the Pac-Man game. Nostalgia. Living space upstairs and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We were so busy with wedding details that we didn’t get to enjoy the area and wished we extended our stay. Thank you Christine. "

- "It was such a lovely 4 days in Buffalo. We have stayed in many VRBO properties, but Leanne and Tonya have given this one many personal touches. The entire cottage speaks 'welcome' the minute you walk in the door. Leanne was super helpful whenever I contacted her. When we were having trouble figuring out the Roku stick so my husband could watch the golf tournament, she came over with her granddaughter and helped us figure it out. As for the cottage itself, it fit our needs perfectly and we loved every minute of staying here."
