Amazing spacious property with Lake View! Gather your friends, or bring the whole family to this beautiful home. This retreat has a spacious open floor plan with two owner's suites, a home gym, a sauna for two, a home theater space, access to two lakes, one block from a public beach on Lake Minnewashta, and a park with a playground, tennis court, and pickle ball courts.

Good to know

Open spaces with amazing lake views from both owner’s suites, main level living room and basement living room. The basement has two main spaces, a finished living room with a fireplace, 55” 4K TV, game table… and a partially finished recreation room that is just over 1,000 sq ft with amazing gym equipment, a two-person sauna, and a large sectional to watch movies on the 98” projection screen.

Other Details to Note

We are in the process of getting a building permit to add a spacious deck onto the home. We will update with details on when we expect to have the deck installed. We are hopeful it will be ready in July!

Stacy’s home was such an amazing spot to visit !!! We absolutely adored our stay and the house was impressively stocked, even with a pack and play + high chair for our little one! Would totally stay again. 😊

Cedar House Retreat was the perfect getaway with friends—cozy, warm, and welcoming. Stacy was also wonderful to work with, especially when we got snowed in during a classic Minnesota blizzard!

We had a wonderful stay at Cedar House Retreat during our family trip. The house was huge, very clean, and extremely comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect getaway, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed our time so much that we can’t wait to revisit — we’re already planning our next trip back! Highly recommend Cedar House Retreat for families looking for a memorable stay.

This house was absolutely gorgeous! Extremely clean and decorated so beautiful for our family Christmas. Stacy always responded quickly and was easy to communicate with. The house is huge and spacious just like the pictures. We’d definitely stay again and are already thinking about going back in the summer months!

This home is beautiful and very spacious. Our granddaughters kept running around proclaiming it to be a mansion!!! The kitchen is very well equipped but it does need an exhaust fan installed somewhere. If you cook bacon or sausage the doors need to be open or the smoke detectors go off! There are warning signs but it was a little annoying & chilly. The spaces are great for gathering. Bedrooms are nice sized. Would definitely stay again.

This was hands down the best property we have ever stayed in! From the moment we walked in, it was just wow! Such a beautiful home and very good communication with Stacy. This house has a perfect floor plan for large groups and the kitchen and bedrooms are stocked as well as my own! We love the area and there is plenty to do without going far. We had a wonderful stay visiting family for Thanksgiving and we hope to return! All around excellent experience!
