Photos and Description of the Lindstrom vacation cottage rental
4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Bathrooms, Other (See Description), Sleeps 8+

A one of a kind property on the National Historic Register of Homes. This Swedish cottage was originally built as a single story home in 1898. Don't be fooled, this house is HUGE! A meticulous restoration and addition of a full second story with Master Suite, 2 Bedrooms and an additional sitting/sleeping area was completed in 2001. The home was originally built as a single family residence and social gathering area for the early Swedish settlers. More recently, the home was visited by the King and Queen of Sweden during ''Karl Oscar Days,'' the local festival that draws visitors from all over the state.

We are excited to share our private residence for the first time with others who appreciate architectural character and who are looking for more than just ''a week at the lake.'' Don't get us wrong, you'll also love exploring all the pleasures of South Lindstrom Lake and the neighboring/connected Chisago Lake.

Even in the busiest of seasons you'll find the lake extremely peaceful and unpopulated except for the many fisherman who come in search of trophy Bass and Northern Pike. We just think you'll enjoy your ''inside time'' just as much in the comfort of the family room to watch a DVD or relaxing around the fireplace in the Great Room. Retire to your own private getaway in the Master Suite with the Whirlpool tub and sitting room with gas fireplace. With over 3800 square feet of living space, even the largest family or group can find privacy.

There is plenty to do in and around the tiny little town of Lindstrom. The city is known for its ''Coffee Pot'' water tower and small shops and restaurants. Bring your own boat or rent a pontoon from Rose Hill Resort that is a quarter mile from the house. Take a boat or walk to The Dinnerbel Bar/Restaurant just around the point and enjoy dinner nightly and live music on the weekends. There are Paddle Boat rides on the St. Croix River in Taylors Falls and water slides and skiing (in the winter) at Wild Mountain Resort. Or, just kick back and enjoy the sunsets from, what has been called, the best deck on the lake.

Depending upon water levels, we have as much as 40 feet of beach (as of summer 2011) from the bottom of the steps to the edge of the water. You can start a bonfire on the beach or use the portable firepit on the deck overlooking the lake. We provide a dock, two-person kayak and swim raft for your water enjoyment. There's plenty of room to tie up two boats on the dock.

Very Quiet and Private...

Submitted: May 2, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Thanks so much for a great stay at Lindstrom. The cottage was great, spacious, very clean and inviting. Our group of 12 had more than adequate room. We were amazed at the well stocked kitchen as well as elsewhere in the house. Even though we were just a block off a busy highway, it was very quiet and private. The grandkids loved walking to the park. This would be a great destination in the summer, the lake access looks very nice. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us. We probably will return again as the location is just right for our family.

Thanks again!!

An Amazing Weekend Together!

Submitted: April 9, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Just wanted to write you a quick note to let you know that we had a fantastic weekend at your home. It was the perfect place for our celebration! We were celebrating my parents 50th anniversary (April 6th), here's a note of appreciation from my mom...

Our extended family of 15 spent an amazing weekend together at the "Fridhem House" in Lindstrom, MN where we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Being able to all be together in the comfort of that home was fabulous. As we were welcomed by our family members the fire was blazing in the large, but cozy living room and provided a very homey atmosphere. There was plenty of room for all of us - even our 8 grandchildren ranging in age from 13 - 26 found it a perfect place to "hang out." Since the "weather outside was frightful" it was especially wonderful to have all the room inside. The kitchen provided everything we needed from pots and pans, serving dishes to paper towels. The master bedroom was beautiful, comfortable and warmed by the fireplace where we as the honored guests felt were able to rest and rejuvenate for all the active time spent with our family. There were many areas where one could enjoy peace and relaxation. It was truly a weekend that has provided many cherished memories!

-------------------------------

Thanks so much for the great home and great rental experience. Your directions where incredibly thorough and I trust we followed all of the check out proceedures correctly.

Best Ladies Retreat EVER!

Submitted: February 28, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Each year the women in my family get together for some time away from life and the kids. Typically we're in a hotel spread out in several rooms and it's chaotic... This was the perfect place to host a Friday night Murder Mystery Dinner!!! Plenty of private spaces to get into costume and get ready. The kitchen was large and had absolutely anything you would need to make meals. The double-oven was awesome as we had several appetizers going at the same time. The old time record player, complete with tons of albums, added a nice touch to our mystery game. Each of the bedrooms and sitting areas were nicely decorated and fun to look at. You could spend the entire weekend just getting lost in the house (which I did) It's pretty big and somewhat confusing at first! Lindstrom was a fun little town and we did the shopping thing on Saturday and of course the wine tasting down the road at Winehaven. Saturday evening we enjoyed catching up with each other by the fireplace and drinking our wine. The dining room was great and we spent a lot of time relaxing and snacking. Friedham was the perfect place to hang out and catch up with each other! We could all be in the same room comfortably and of course there were many quiet places in the house where we could sneak off and have private conversations (gossip) too!!! Would love to be here in the fall with the beautiful leaves and have the opportunity to use the decks. Don't bother bringing anything besides your clothes. This place has it all!!! The marshmallow sticks are in the plastic bin by the back door.

We loved our stay at "Fridhem"...

We loved our stay at "Fridhem"...
Submitted: December 20, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
We loved our stay at Fridhem -- it is the perfect place for anyone that loves historic homes but still wants the updated conveniences of a well designed kitchen and wifi! The house has many bedrooms but also has great gathering spaces -- we held a family get together here and the layout was ideal. With its location so close to the Twin Cities, it was perfect for feeling like we were "getting away" but still easily accessible to travel to. The house feels very private even though it is only a couple of blocks from restaurants and shops. We definitely plan on renting this home again!
