Tranquil Lakefront Retreat, Steps From the Water!
New on VRBO, but operating in Emily MN as a premier resort for over 20 years! Our scenic retreat offers something for everyone. With 150 feet of pristine sandy beach, guests can enjoy hours of family fun and activities. The lakes provide excellent fishing opportunities, with Walleye, Northern Pike, and a variety of Sunfish, Crappies, Perch, and Bass caught by our guests each season right from the dock!
The property also features a private boat launch and two docks, one with a bench where you can relax and enjoy the stunning view of Lake Mary. Paddle boats, kayaks, and horseshoes are just a few of the activities available. Additional amenities include a children’s play area, a regulation-sized sand volleyball court, tetherball, a fire pit, and a fish cleaning station. For your convenience, picnic tables and outdoor grills are also provided for your enjoyment.
These amenities are shared among three modern housing options, ensuring a fun and comfortable experience for all guests.
Our resort is located just 35 minutes from Mille Lacs Casino, with neighboring towns such as Nisswa, Outing, Walker, Crosby, Cross Lake, and Brainerd nearby. These towns offer a wide variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment for all ages.
This charming cabin is located just steps from the lake, offering breathtaking views from the large, picturesque front window. Inside, it features two cozy bedrooms, a comfortable living room, a full kitchen and bath.

Vacation with Family
Our family loved this place so much we asked to stay another night, which we were able to, the property manager was always easy to get ahold of and extremely nice, we loved how it felt like home away from home, the cabin was perfect and the new windows made such a beautiful view, loved that we could watch the kids play right from the window inside. The kids were never bored, there was a playground right behind the cabin, a beach right out side the door, two docks for the kids to fish on, and paddle boats and kayaks. We plan on going back and I’d recommend it to everyone
