Great getaway! Quaint cottage...quite elegant for the era it was built in. Fun week! Thanks

We enjoyed our week immensely! We were all over retirement age with several recent hip replacements, but it worked for us just great! Nice patio overlooking the lake and nice weather that allowed us to enjoy it

Christmas Getaway

We had a wonderful time at Friedhem being able to spend time with family during a challenging time with my husband's health issues. It was great to be close to downtown Lindstrom and walk through town during our stay. I was able to get to Mass on foot on Christmas Eve. It was a beautiful night and we felt safe. We keep talking about the wonderful memories that were made. We were plenty warm and had more than enough space in the home to spread out. Thank you for a memorable Christmas celebration at The House of Peace!!

Historic Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your expansive home. Plenty of room to sleep and for quiet time. Kitchen was well stocked. We were hoping for a larger/sandy beach for the kids to swim, but found a couple of very beautiful ones close by with parks. Love the walking distance proximity to town. The fenced-in area for the dog was great. Lovely, private setting.

Family Lake Stay

Plenty of space for our family and pets! We had good fishing and beach area was clean for kids. Only thing is frequently touched areas ie: stair railings, doors and wood chairs could be cleaned to remove grimy surfaces. We did book again for next year

Great spot for family gathering

We had grandparents to grandchildren stay at this house and it was a nice, big space to gather and enjoy meals and time together, while also having separate sleeping "wings" for each family! Loved the charm of the older home and walkability to the park nearby, and how close it was to the City. Only drawback was the backyard and steps down to the dock - not for the elderly set or handicapped, but the cantilevered deck overlooking the lake was nice. Thank you for a wonderful time and lifelong memories!

Lindstrom house

Kitchen was nice and updated, but a little small. The house was a little dated but clean. The yard was muddy after the rain since there wasn’t much grass. I think it was a little expensive compared to other properties near Chisago City that had newer amenities

Quintessential MInnesota Lake House

Everything you would expect from a historic Minnesota lake house. Plenty of room for everyone to gather. Easy, sandy bottom lake access. The kids and grandkids all had a great time. We just wish we would have stayed longer. We were having such a good time at the house, we never took the time to explore the town!

Beautiful lake view

The interior of the house was pretty nice. We spent a lot of time in the sunroom off the kitchen. We also really enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake. Lindstrom is a very pleasant little town. The exterior of the house was disappointing. Pictures are a bit misleading. Still enjoyed our visit.
