Discover your year-round sanctuary on spring-fed Howard Lake in Akeley, MN — an exquisitely maintained up-north lodge that blends rustic charm with thoughtful modern comforts across more than 4,800 sq ft of living space (2,092 sq ft main level, 1,592 sq ft lower level, 500 sq ft bonus room above the garage, 400 sq ft bunkhouse, and a 224 sq ft bunkhouse). Hand-hewn-style rough-cut woodwork, granite counters, tile showers, a large walk-in pantry, and three cozy fireplaces create a warm, inviting interior, while ICF foundation walls, spray-foam insulation and a dual-fuel furnace ensure durability and year-round efficiency. Outside, low-maintenance siding, stamped concrete patios, extensive landscaping, a lakeside screened porch, a patio fire pit and an additional fire pit down by the lake set the scene for gatherings under the stars. A 12' x 12' lakeside beach house adds comfort and charm to your waterfront days. Practical amenities include a two-stall attached garage with bonus room above, a separate two-stall detached garage, abundant storage, a sauna, a fish-cleaning house, and two insulated, heated bunkhouses ideal for guests. Extremely private at the end of the road and abutting thousands of acres of public land and the Chippewa National Forest, the property offers unparalleled access to hiking, hunting, and outdoor adventure. Howard Lake is a quiet, spring-fed fishery prized for pan fishing, and the location provides easy access to snowmobile/ATV trails and the Paul Bunyan Trail for year-round recreation. This is more than a home — it’s a place where family and friends gather, memories are made, and every season feels like a celebration.
