Meticulously planned and sitting on the banks of Big St. Germain Lake, this spectacular five-bedroom house is the perfect fusion of modern comfort and lake house charm, ideal for your next vacation with family and friends! Big St. Germain Lake is a 1,600-acre recreational lake ideal for water sport activities such as water and jet skiing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming right from the dock! Fishermen can reel in trout, musky, walleye, and bass. St. Germain Sport Marine is less than five miles away, with plenty of boat rentals available, from jet skis to pontoons. Winter guests will even be able to rent snowmobiles for some cold-weather adventure. Take the family out to enjoy a good hike on Shannon Lake Hiking Trail, Awassa Trail, or Fern Ridge Hiking Trail, all five miles or less from the home.

Inside, the living area is bright and spacious, with spectacular lake views through wall-to-wall windows. Guests will love kicking back in the great room, dressed in luxurious furniture, a mounted flatscreen TV, and a stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, with access to the covered back deck furnished with a swinging bench and comfy chairs. The screened porch is the ideal setting for catching up with old friends over glasses of chilled wine while the kids explore the yard with the family dogs.

The gourmet kitchen is the dream of any family chef, with gleaming countertops and high-end appliances that include a French-door refrigerator and dishwasher, a large pantry, and a center prep island with breakfast bar seating for four, plus a high chair for the little one. The handsome dining table has plenty of seating for up to 10 dinner guests and there is a barbecue dining area right outside the screened porch with two picnic tables and a gas grill, perfect for your next grill session. Good thing too, because after a day on the lake with the home's complimentary rowboat, kayaks, and canoe, there's nothing like throwing a little char on some freshly caught fish!

Gather everyone around the furnished firepit area to spend an evening savoring toasted s'mores and constellations while waves lap against the shoreline just beyond. When it's time to wrap up the night, you'll have five bedrooms and additional sleeping arrangements in the loft to take advantage of, each with its own mounted TV and unique furnishings. The main bedroom enjoys access to an en-suite bath through sliding barn doors, plus access to the covered deck.

Wake up to the aromas of freshly-brewed coffee and head out to the private dock to enjoy the sunrise with a favorite novel. Spend a day in the sun and don't forget to visit the wet bar when it's time to take a break from all the fun. The home's private washer/dryer will keep everyone's laundry sparkling clean, so you can afford to pack light for your trip. Challenge someone to a game of Ping-Pong while the kids play each other with the provided children’s games. Have some work to do while you're here? The home's high-speed WiFi makes it quick and easy for remote workers and students to complete their projects on time. The central AC will keep everything nice and cool during those hot summer months.

Property was wonderful, excellent room size, be it bedrooms, kitchen, utility, great room, 3 season or porch. Yard was great, and dock was long enough to accommodate our boat and jet skis. Highly recommend this home.

Lovely home after shoveling my way in
Gorgeous home in a perfect location. Walking distance to two restaurants and beautiful views of the lake. Disappointing that after I asked the driveway and walk be shoveled before our arrival, knowing they were getting lots of snow. The managements response was, “ I'm so sorry for the condition of the driveway! We usually supply the homes with a shovel so that guests can plow the driveway if they are able to”. I am sorry but I expect that to be done for us seeing as we paid over $3000 to stay there. The following day it was shoveled and plowed by management only because the neighbor was embarrassed that it was not done.

Family Reunion Winter Retreat
Huge space that is so open and welcoming. Our mixed generation family reunion had a great time and able to gather in a central location for cooking, meal prep, dinning together, game time and football viewing with a cozy fire. The home has everything you’d want or need. The beds were comfortable, the quality of the lines, furniture etc was exceptional and everything well appointed. Impeccably clean as well. So nice to have our dogs with us vs having to kennel them. Our group did some ice fishing and had a little luck even. We’d come again!

Communication was Horrible and House was Filthy ( I have pics) and Broken Diswasher
We arrived until 4:15pm (check in was 4pm). Upon entering the house, it smelled of pot and full of flies and fruit flies. We opened all windows to air out the house and used the wax melter to help get rid of the smell and found a flyswatter to kill the flies in the house. The landscaping was overgrown, the lawn of full of weeds and numerous ant hills everywhere. When going into the bedroom to unpack suitcase, we found hair all over the master bedroom sheets so we immediately stripped the bed and washed the sheets. The stove and range hood was covered in what appeared to be hardened bacon grease or some other grease used (we assume by previous occupants). I was going to wash the grates in the dishwasher only to see the note that the dishwasher was out of service (Vacasa should have informed us of this as we planned on cooking all meals on the property). When changing the sheets from the washer to the dryer, I dropped one of the pillow cases on the floor and when I went to pick it up, I touched the floor which was gritty. I was wearing white socks and when I looked at the bottom of my socks, they were filthy. We found a wet swiffer and cleaned all of the floors on the main floor including the bathrooms. The swiffers were almost black and covered in dirt. At that time (2 hours after arriving and still not unpacked because now we were cleaning), I received a text from Vacasa asking about the cleanliness of the property. I gave it a low score and someone from a 503 area code asked for a description and pictures of what the issues were. I sent them all of pictures and told them while I have taken care of most of the issues, my concerns were the dishwasher and grass/ants because we have two small rescue dogs and I didn't want them bit by the ants. The person from the 503 area code responded that they were alerting someone from the local Vacasa team (this was a Sunday night). On Tuesday afternoon, I sent a follow up text informing this person at the 503 area code that no one followed up. At 8:45pm on Tuesday night (our last night at the property), Jessica called me to inform me she is looking at the ticket and reviewing the pictures. Jessica was my only contact from the local team and while she was responsive, I wish she would have contacted me Sunday night or Monday morning. There was also construction next door Mon and Tues from 6am-6/7pm daily. Vacasa did not inform me of applicance issues or construction. We would have cancelled

Beautiful Home in a Great Location
The house was clean and beautiful! Check in and check out process was as simple as opening and closing the lock box. They are building a house right next door this year so that was a little annoying, but nothing major. We loved that there were 2 bar/restaurants within a block of the house, and the grocery store and gas station are less than 10 minutes away. The water is pretty shallow at the end of the pier which was perfect for kids to swim, but difficult to tie a deeper boat to. It was fine for a jet boat but not for a deep V boat. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely recommend this house!

Nice house bummer on yard/construction
The house inside was beautiful, perfect set up for our family of seven. Unfortunately unlike the picture the yard was not mowed and continue to grow all week with lots of weeds, and directly next-door another home is being built and we spent one whole day listening to a dump truck and tractor as they brought Phil down the hill backed into the property and laid it all the way up the basement to ground level. From 7:30 AM until 8 PM. And it was a day that we actually did spend quite a bit of time around the house because the lake was a little choppy for boating. I communicated to the manager and supposedly someone it’s going to drop off a gift card maybe for gas and that never happened, and since then I have even sent my home address to have it mailed and that has also not happened. I think it’s great if the property manager communicates to take action but when action isn’t taken that almost as worse!

Extended weekend getaway
The house is big and updated. We loved the open concept main level. Lake access is awesome, although we went in April, so it was still frozen. We also enjoyed that it's literally 3 driveways down from a supper club, and had a couple bars the opposite direction in walking distance. It was very, very quiet this time of year. Loved it!

Christmas House
This is a beautiful house. It was clean. We had plenty of bath towels. There was only a sponge for kitchen clean up. I like to use a dish cloth for clean up and I would have liked more kitchen towels including a dish towel to dry dishes. We needed hot pads and the management brought some out to us- thank you. My sons are great home chefs - they loved the great Viking appliances. The king sized beds were very comfortable. My grandchildren had a lot of fun in their room with the bunks. They loved the swing outside. Christmas was great celebrating in this beautiful home. Thank you.
