House, 2 Bedrooms, Bath (Sleeps 4-6)

Enjoy this lake home on beautiful Lake Fremont, which is ONLY 45 MINUTES AWAY FROM MINNEAPOLIS.

2 BR/ 1 BA Lake Home

Lake Fremont

Zimmerman, MN

Welcome to your next vacation get-away! Nestled on Lake Fremont with a beautiful view of a peaceful natural setting, this house has a huge deck, sandy beach and lakeside fire pit. Relax in the warmth and openness of the main living room with its vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace; surrounded by two bedrooms, open kitchen, wood floors, huge windows, skylights and gas fireplace. This is your home away from home as you give your body a rest, go fishing, have a picnic, relax on the sandy beach or make s’mores on the fire pit. Bring your boat and cruise the lake and explore the island in the center of the lake. In the winter, bring your snowmobile and explore the miles of nearby trails. The bonfire pit is just steps from the water - firewood is complimentary.

The master suite is lofted and has skylights. The second bedroom has a lake/beach view. There is also a large L-shaped couch perfect for afternoon naps.

The living room has skylights, large LED TV with cable (included), DVD, and built-in surround sound speakers. The large windows and doors offer a great view of the lake.

Amenities: Fireplace, Central Air/Heat, TV, DVD, Updated Kitchen w/ breakfast bar, Microwave, Dishwasher, Refrigerator, Wine Fridge, Washer, Dryer, 2-car Heated Garage, extra vehicle parking and BBQ grill. Cable and High-speed WiFi available. Large, new dock. Patio Furniture.

Like to fish? Throw in a line and catch sunnies right off the dock! Or cast for something more challenging - the lake was recently restocked with game fish by the DNR.

Winter sports - great area for cross country skiing, snowmobiling or ice fishing.

If you are bringing the family, we have a wide variety of family games, cable TV, wireless internet and a DVD player.

Like to eat out or go bowling? Within one mile there is an excellent, affordable family restaurant and bowling alley, Zimmerman Bowl, as well as a gas station, grocery store, liquor store and a Dunn Brothers coffee. If you enjoy shopping, there are a handful of wonderful antique and vintage shops in Zimmerman.

All furnishings, linens, cooking utensils, and kitchenware are included.

Want to bring your dog? We welcome dogs for a non-refundable $100 pet deposit. No cats allowed as the owner has a severe cat allergy. Please note that smoking is not allowed inside the cabin.

Only 20 minutes to Albertville Outlet Shopping Center and the Shops at Arbor Lakes. Only 45 minutes to Minneapolis.

About Craig Sandok

Christina and I bought this house and used it as our lake cabin for several years. We have since both started businesses and spend more time focusing on that than getting to the lake. Since we can't use it, we hope you can. We also hope you enjoy relaxing in it as much as we do!

Craig Sandok purchased this house in 2006
Why Craig Sandok chose Zimmerman

This is a great lake house with beautiful views and it's the perfect place to relax.

What makes this house unique

This house is very close to the Twin Cities. There are great restaurants and bars in Zimmerman and nearby Elk River and Otsego.

This was an amazing quick getaway for the weekend with some girlfriends. The house was completely stocked with everything you could possibly need for a fun weekend of R&R with your besties or significant other. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for an easy to get to location and great lakefront property... Excellent views and very clean.

Perfect weekend get away!

My husband and I just wanted a quick trip, away from the city that was easy to get to. This place was just the little nook we were looking for! It took no time to get there, but it feels like you are far, far away from the city. Everything from the decor inside, to the large back porch, to the well maintained beach was lovely. Can't wait to go back!

A beautiful, quaint, and peaceful getaway!

This cabin is perfect for a weekend getaway!

I stayed at this lake house with my boyfriend in October and we had a wonderful time. I live in Minneapolis so it was a quick 40 minute drive to get there. I recommend stopping at Arbor Lakes on the way up, it has great shopping and dining options.

The property is quaint and even more beautiful than the listing pictures. The decor is very Pottery Barn-esque and the view of the lake is spectacular! The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, so we were able to cook at the house. The living room is comfortable and cozy - great for curling on the couch with the fire going and a good book!

It was a bit chilly when I was there so I wasn't able to use the lake for fishing/swimming/etc, but the beach is really nice and in great condition. We were able to have dinner on the deck and we also made a fire on the beach.

I had a wonderful stay here and will definitely be back. I highly recommend renting this lake house!

Cozy, Clean Beach House

5 of 5
Submitted: December 3, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We stayed at this wonderful little lake home for a mini-honeymoon the weekend after our wedding. It is very clean, well-equipped and comfortable with cute, beach-inspired decor- properly represented on the website. The back patio is awesome- it sits right on the beach, 20 feet from the water- a perfect place to spend the day enjoying drinks, reading and playing games. We couldn't have enjoyed our relaxing weekend together more.

Location close to the city is great because we got there Friday after work with plenty of time to cook dinner and enjoy the evening, and we stayed much of Sunday, but still got home with time to settle in on Sunday night. Also, the liquor store, grocery store and restaurants are very close, making planning for the weekend effortless. We would absolutely recommend this lake home to friends and will visit again.

The owner was very professional and made sure the place was very clean. My lady and I enjoyed our stay. We had a nice view of the lake, great entertainment and best of all the place was clean. It felt like home. Will come back again. If you are in the area, I'd pick this place to stay.
