Great way to enjoy Minnesota's lake-life benefits while remaining in easy driving distance from the city. (Less than a half hour to both downtowns and the awesome restaurants and breweries of Northeast Minneapolis.) A public access point to White Bear Lake is a two-minute walk away. House is beautiful and surprisingly spacious. Room for multiple families. Kitchen is well-appointed. Would love to have stayed during warmer months to enjoy the deck and porch, but the gas fireplace was fantastic and the fall leaves gorgeous. Reasonably priced. We were very pleased with our week here.
