Tucked away from the paved road you will find a Cedar sided cottage at the water's edge with no other cabins or homes in sight. The almost 5-acre property has been loved by the same family since the 1960's when the south side of Rat Lake was first divided into lots. Rat Lake is 431 acres and has various species of fish including Crappies, Blue Gills, Northerns and Bass. Sit at the water's edge with 240 feet of shoreline with some sand, sit on the dock and view the mostly undisturbed natural beauty across the lake or relax on the deck or screened in porch. Inside the year around home, the natural woodwork and large lakeside windows gives you an up north feel. The open floor plans keep everyone comfortable while you relax in front of the large fireplace made from bricks from the Ancker Hospital in St. Paul. The lower level has another gathering space, a sleeping space, a bathroom, and a laundry and storage room. When you have your limit of fish, jump on the 4-wheeler trail & explore, head east just a 1/4 mile, and you are at the entrance to the Minnesota National Golf Course. Head west 1/4 mile, and you are at Larson's Barn (popular for weddings and an occasional Saturday night polka dance) There are many restaurant options in the McGregor and Palisade areas and many other lakes to enjoy.
