Wake up to loons calling and mist rising off the water at this year-round lakefront retreat on West Rush Lake-just under an hour from the Twin Cities. With 78 feet of gently sloping shoreline, a wood dock, and panoramic east-facing views, this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of Minnesota lake life that blends rustic charm with smart modern updates.
Built in 1959 and thoughtfully maintained, the cabin-style home features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a walk-out lower level that opens to an easy stroll down to a lakeside bonfire area and storage shed. Inside, you'll find wood-look LVP flooring in the main living areas, hardwood in the bedrooms, and a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space.
The kitchen maintains its rustic feel while offering updated stainless steel appliances and views of the lake through new energy-efficient windows. Step outside to the spacious deck — the perfect spot to sip morning coffee as the sun rises over the lake or unwind after a day on the water.
West Rush Lake offers four seasons of recreation: cast a line, paddle to nearby islands, or cruise to The Grumpy Minnow, a local favorite restaurant and bar accessible by boat. In winter, enjoy snowmobiling and some of the best ice fishing in the region.
Tucked in a peaceful mix of seasonal and year-round homes, the property is part of a friendly community with a strong voluntary lake association committed to water quality and enjoyment. With a new roof, windows, flooring, paint, and window treatments, this turn-key property is ready for summer weekends or year-round living.
