We can't wait to have you!

Very nice place to stay.

The location is GREAT! Safe neighborhood. The view from the front and the back of the house are FANTASTIC! The lake is great; great fishing and nearly weed-free! The cabin is clean, smells nice and has tons of space! While the weather and the golf course didn't cooperate, we had an enjoyable time playing games and visiting the town. It's close enough to walk to town and the park too! I would stay here again! FYI~the golf course is closed for the 2024 season. Communication with the host is quick and easy. Check in was a breeze.

Lovely and peaceful

We went for just a couple of days to get away and had a wonderful time. Lakeshore Haven is very well maintained and had some special touches - a personalized welcome note when we arrived, cupcakes, fresh bananas and a spectacular coffee bar and nook where the sun poured in every morning. The house was immaculate and well stocked. The rooftop deck is adorable and a peaceful place to sit for coffee or cocktails. We would highly recommend!

Quick trip to get away

Our stay was overall a great success and was all helped by the little things our host did. A few personalized messages and treats throughout house helped us feel welcome. The weather did not 100% work with us but we all enjoyed our time indoors by talking, playing games or just taking time with ourselves. Plenty of room for our needs, great trip.

We stayed while we had a wedding weekend in Sauk. So easy for us to come and go and hang out between events. Wish we would have had more time to explore the lake and house activities. So much to do. Thank you for all the personal touches you do. Easy to see that this property matters to you

Just add snow!

We flew with four of our kids from Florida to see my husbands family and see snow. As rare as it is, there were only snow flurries in the very early morning and the temp rose just enough to melt what had fallen. The lake was mostly frozen and was beautiful. The only thing missing from this perfect little lake house was snow. The house and the hospitality were perfection!! The host went above and beyond to welcome our crew. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Adorable!

I had my 88 year old mom with me who has mobility and vision challenges. It was difficult for her but had I been there alone I would have had a really relaxing and fun time. Nicki could not have been more welcoming with treats about the house, a wonderfully stocked coffee bar and access to anything in the frig! She was fantastic and appreciated. My first VRBO experience and I hope to return one day!

Comfortable & Restful.

Beautiful. Perfect. Our family runs fast, but this winter we all needed to stop & rest. We spent a quiet, fun and rest-filled weekend at the cabin, which really is a comfortable *home.* There were 5 of us & plenty of room. We walked on the lake. We enjoyed the gorgeous lake views. We played cards, games, ate, and rested. Thank you for sharing your perfect home-like cabin with us!

Hi! Thank you for considering our haven! This has been a dream come true for me (Nicki) as I have wanted lake property for as long as I can remember. I am happy to share this little slice with you! I am married to Aaron and we have three beautiful children. We are certainly busy with our dairy farm, children's sports, and life in general.

Why they chose this property

Our property is absolutely perfect! While it may not be the most modern, we assure you it is well taken care of, full of love and unique! Also, the location is top-notch! Our location is what makes this so special. We are within walking distance to the gorgeous "Old Course", we are on beautiful Sauk Lake that offers many restaurants on the lake for you to choose from, and we are in historic Sauk Centre. You will be only minutes from Main Street Theatre, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.

What makes this property unique

This home is one of a kind! Coffee Bar overlooking the golf course. * Game room with cabinets full of board games, foosball table and chess/checkers table. * Two full-size living rooms that overlook Sauk Lake. * Smart TV's * Spacious!!
