Your very own spa

Relax with the outdoor shower and sauna.
Less than an hour from Minneapolis, the Loondocks is a sun-soaked, pet-friendly hideout on beautiful Big Eagle Lake. Natural stone steps (NOTE: These are uneven, so do not book if you have mobility concerns!) lead down to the bungalow-style house, a stylish bunkhouse, wood-burning sauna, spacious deck with lake views, and flat waterfront yard. Sip coffee and watch the sunrise, lay out a towel at the end of the dock, or share a meal with the whole family! This is the perfect all-season getaway.

The space
With a master king, three queen beds, and three twins, Loondocks guests can bring the whole family! The Loondocks property also includes a beautifully updated bunkhouse, designed with families in mind, and a wood-burning sauna. Equipped with a canoe, paddle boards, Apple TV, a great collection of kitchen supplies, and kid & dog-friendly features, Loondocks has everything you'd ever need.

Guest access
You'll have access to the main cabin as well as a non-attached bunk house with two queen beds. This bunkhouse does not have a bathroom or central heating like the main cabin, but we provide a space heater to keep it warm.

Parking: We only have space for THREE cars. Please make sure you park on either side of the garage. Additionally please be careful to not park on neighbors property with property line being marked with a green electrical box.

A keypad is located on the front door for a simple keyless entry. The entry code will be provided to you the day before your arrival.

Other things to note
Our space is NOT a good fit for those with mobility issues.

We have natural, uneven stone steps that lead down the the property from where you park. These are a challenge for those with mobility issues.

In the loft bedroom up the spiral staircase. It is a tight up there with a fall hazard. Kids are welcome, but should be supervised if they don't have very good balance.

In an effort to maintain a secure premises, the house is equipped with an exterior camera at the front door, another to keep an eye on the stairs, and another facing the lake. The cameras are ONLY on the exterior, and there are no cameras on the inside.

Hi, we’re Mary and Jay! Jay is originally from Minnesota, and Mary is from Utah. We now call the mountains of Colorado home. We love the outdoors and cozy cabin getaways, which is what inspired us to share the Loondocks. We’re excited to share our place with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
