About this property

Lake Retreat 4 Miles from State Fair - Free Bus

  • Lake Retreat 4 Miles from State Fair | Free Bus

    Available August 28–September 3 — during the first week of the Minnesota State Fair!

    Enjoy the best of both worlds: spend the day at the Minnesota State Fair, then come home to a peaceful retreat overlooking beautiful Lake Johanna.

    We’re just 4 miles north of the State Fairgrounds, and you can walk to free State Fair bus transportation—skip the traffic and parking and enjoy an easy ride to and from the Fair.

    The home is clean, bright and comfortable, with abundant natural light and wonderful views across Lake Johanna. Private lakefront and dock are directly across the street, giving you easy access to fishing, relaxing by the water and enjoying the lake.

    The regional park and beach are also just across the street, with additional recreation including kayak and sauna rentals.

    Exceptionally convenient location:

    • Minnesota State Fairgrounds — 4 miles
    • Walk to FREE State Fair bus transportation
    • Bethel University — less than 1 mile
    • University of Northwestern — visible across Lake Johanna
    • University of Minnesota St. Paul Campus — about 3 miles
    • Downtown Minneapolis — about 8 miles
    • Downtown St. Paul — about 9 miles
    • Regional park and beach across the street
    • Private Lake Johanna lakefront and dock
    • Fishing
    • BBQ
    • Off-street parking
    • Shopping and restaurants nearby

    Come for the Minnesota State Fair and enjoy something most Fair visitors don’t get: a quiet lake retreat to come home to at the end of the day.
