Granite Cabin

Annandale, Minnesota, US
3 Bedrooms 8 Guests
Aug 31 - Sep 3
$238 night

Some lake places feel like a lot of rules. This one feels like a deep exhale. Granite Cabin sits on a private stretch of Granite Lake shoreline just outside Annandale — a classic Minnesota lake community about 65 miles west of Minneapolis. The moment you pull in off the wooded driveway and catch your first glimpse of the water, the week’s noise starts to fade. The cabin itself is full of character: knotty pine walls and ceilings, a decorative stone fireplace that anchors the living room, an open-concept kitchen and dining area, and a sunroom wrapped in windows with nothing but lake as far as you can see. It’s a three-bedroom layout with room to spread out — a queen bedroom with a peaceful view, a bunk room the kids will claim immediately, and a cabin bedroom upstairs with yellow walls and soft light filtering off the water. Outside, a private dock extends out over the water — ready for swimming, fishing, or just sitting with a cup of coffee and watching the morning come in. There’s a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs for evenings that don’t want to end, and a public boat launch just minutes away if you’re trailering a boat. Annandale is a real small town — a bakery, a hardware store, a few good restaurants, and people who wave. It’s the kind of place you might wander into for morning pastries and end up staying an hour. The surrounding Wright County lakes region is built for slow weekends: fishing, paddling, pontoon rides, and long meals with no particular timeline. Minneapolis and St. Paul are about an hour away when you need them — but honestly, you won’t. THE SPACE A well-loved knotty-pine lakefront cabin — warm, comfortable, and laid out for easy group living with Granite Lake always in sight. - Living Area — Open and welcoming, with the lake as the backdrop. - Sunroom — A vaulted, window-wrapped room with gorgeous lake views, wicker seating, and nothing to do but soak up the peacefulness. - Kitchen — A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for real meals — fridge, stove, microwave, pantry, and a dining nook overlooking the lake. - Dining — A proper dining area with room for the whole group to gather. - Queen Bedroom — Bright room with green walls, natural light, and a comfortable queen bed. - Bunk Room — Blue-walled kids’ room with bunk beds and lake views out the window. - Cabin Bedroom — Upstairs queen bedroom with yellow walls, dresser, and soft light off the lake. - Bathroom — Full bathroom with red marble shower and vanity. THE LAKE AND THE DOCK Step out the back and you’re at Granite Lake. The private dock stretches over Granite Lake with room to sit, swim, or tie off a boat. A fire pit with Adirondack chairs anchors the shoreline for evenings — the kind that start at sunset and go later than intended. Granite Lake and the Wright County lakes region — with Granite Lake right at your door — is quintessential Minnesota: clear water, wooded shores, unhurried afternoons, and the specific silence that comes from being somewhere with no agenda. If you’re bringing a boat, the public boat launch is just minutes away. If you’re not — the dock and the lake are more than enough. AMENITIES – 3 Bedrooms / 1 queen, 2 twin over full bunk beds, 1 full — sleeps up to 8 – Full bathroom with shower – Sunroom with panoramic lake views – Fully equipped kitchen – Private dock on the lake – Fire pit with Adirondack chairs – Smart TV and high-speed Wi-Fi – Private parking on site – Public boat launch minutes away
