Charming Cabin on Clean Waters

Imagine a small cabin on the shores of a Minnesota lake. The shoreline is elevated so views of the water will stop you for a minute to appreciate the fundamental truth that life is sacred. The accommodations are simple and neat. Birds sing. Fish jump. There's a variety of places to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea to soak in the nature around you. The yard is spacious; enough for a game of bags, ladder golf, or bocce anyway. And the water, exceptionally clean. Perfect for a swim. This quaint space includes two levels. The main floor features a 1/2 bath, bedroom (queen), living quarters, and kitchen. A large deck overlooks the spacious backyard, firepit, and lake. Below, the lower level includes another common area with kitchenette, 2 bedrooms with custom built-in bunks (4 twins), a love seat that folds out into a twin bed, and full-bath. Think rustic cabin with touches of modern flare. The property is on the East side of Henderson Lake, 3 miles West of downtown Spicer. There is plenty of parking anywhere on the driveway/lawn. The cabin has a two-step landing to the front door and is stocked with the basic essentials: TP, soap, towels, electricity, wifi, and everything necessary for meal prep. This includes a small outdoor/propane grill and a full-sized outdoor firepit. Eat-in at the common area drop-down table or utilize the outdoor patio set. The '77 El Dorado RV on property is also space you are welcome utilize anyway you'd like (unfortunately, not to drive). There's a tight set of spiral stairs connecting the two levels. However, some might find the separate entrance from the lower-level walkout a more convenient way to access the basement. If weather forces you indoors, enjoy the books, games, and smart TV for streaming. But more likely, you'll be outside enjoying the sweet sights, sounds, and smells of nature. A couple flights of stairs (approx. 48 steps) brings you to the shores of Henderson Lake. There are sitting areas on the landings and by the shore. The dock has a ladder for easy in/out from the water, as does the swim raft located adjacent to the dock. There's kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, goggles, water toys available for your use. Enjoy what you see, see what you enjoy. We only ask that you please pick up after yourself. Because of this request, we do not charge a cleaning fee. The water quality and clarity of Henderson is exceptional. Perfect for swimming or catching fish off the end of the dock. Lake Henderson is a sacred place to us, please respect this precious resource. Keep garbage out of the water and consider catching-and-releasing your fish. If you must bring a watercraft, respect our rule of no wake-boats or jet-skis. Henderson Lake is a clean, deep, and (at 75 acres) relatively small body of water. Far too small an ecosystem to sustain large manmade wakes. Putt-putt cruises around the lake at sunset, however, are perfect! We're happy to share our cabin with guests. We live next door, are quick to communicate, and want you to love your visit here. There is a neighbor dog who likes to visit. She is corgi and her name is Macy. If that is a problem, or if there is anything else we do to make sure you enjoy your adventure, let us know! You'll have access to the entire cabin, the driveway/lawn, and lakeshore. The garage on the property is for storage and not intended for guest use. Your hosts are adjacent to the property and readily available to address any questions or concerns. Nestled on a private setting, overlooking a clean and quiet lake, with easy access to local attractions and conveniences --3 miles to downtown Spicer/Green Lake and bike trails, 6 miles to boutique shopping/brewery in New London, 9 miles to Sibley State Park, 9 miles to Willmar.
