We’ve been busy sprucing up the Lake Tetonka house- wall paper removed, new flooring, paint, trim, removed a mystery door, a brand new roof and new deck.
This house is on the market and ready to purchase fully furnished- the summer is booked up so we’d love to sell it as a short term rental to keep the memories flowing!

9 days between guests- sounds like a good time to take on a major project! 😬
Ripped up all the carpet, tile, subfloor, surprise subfloor.. on the entire main floor, LVP down that matches the lower level, new trim and new doors.
The new bathroom vanity was delivered last night at 4pm; we were dusting and cleaning all night.
Guests check in today! 😮‍💨
Next up is paint and kitchen- maybe during a larger gap?

Our Lake Tetonka “green house” got a makeover! (Green to white) We had a 10 day break between guests and Olguin Painting Jesus Olguin worked their magic!
Chris built the deck off the second story bedroom out back. Tomorrow’s guests are going to think they pulled up to the wrong house.

(This house will be hitting the market soon if you know of anyone looking for a lake home to enjoy and/or an investment opportunity as a short term rental.)

Minnesotans don’t park cars in their garages… we turn them into bonus living rooms! 🍻🕹️ Who needs the great outdoors when you’ve got a table, games, and good company right here?
The Madison Lake garage overlooks the lake and got a little makeover!

As we button up our primary home and head to our “summer home” , I’m excited—not just for our time at the lake, but for the families who will be staying here while we’re away.

Minnesota summers are made for the lake—fishing, kayaking, swimming—but what I hope our guests enjoy most are the quiet moments in between. There’s just a little more time in the day when you’re at the lake. I hope they soak it in and simply enjoy being together.

Some of my favorite memories from lake vacations with family are the simple ones—prepping meals, playing Rummy 500 (and actually hitting 500), and long evenings around the table.

I’ve tried to create a space that feels like home and vacation all at once. It always means a lot when guests mention the little things—the trucks their grandson loved, the fully stocked kitchen, morning coffee in the sunroom, or staying up too late playing games.

We’re looking forward to the next six weeks at our Madison Lake home, making memories of our own.
