Angela's place is an amazing hidden gem on Lake Independence, which is part of the Baker Park Reserve. Within the reserve are sand beaches, kayaking, trails, and boat launches. Meanwhile, Angela's lake house is spacious with views of the lake from every room. Maple Plain is close to Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka, where great restaurants and other amenities are located, but far enough away that you feel like you're off the beaten track. Our stay was the perfect escape from the city, yet so easily accessible from Minneapolis and beyond.
