Guests describe a clean, cozy retreat with a responsive host who makes every stay easy
Cozy lake cabin located less than one hour from Minneapolis. It's the perfect place to get away for those looking for a cozy, minimalist vacation! Recently remodeled, Ivy Cottage is a great place to unplug (or not, with high-speed internet) and enjoy a stunning view of Lake Fremont. This small but lovely cabin boasts two bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen and stunning outdoor spaces. Nestled on a peninsula, you will enjoy your morning coffee (or evening cocktail) with a 180+ degree view of lake!

We don't have many reviews yet....why? Because we recently bought and remodeled this little gem. We also own a sister property just steps away with TONS of great reviews (check out Fremont Cottage on Lake Fremont). Feel free to book both cabins if you'd like to vacation with family/friends.

About Craig & Christina We bought cabins on Lake Fremont & used it as our cabin for years. We have since both started businesses and have young children which leaves us little time to get to the lake. Why we chose Zimmerman It's a great lake with beautiful views and the perfect place to relax. What makes our houses on Lake Fremont unique They are very close to the Twin Cities and there are great restaurants/bars and shopping nearby.
