Larrabee Lake Retreat is approximately 90 minutes from the Twin Cities, making it an easy and relaxing getaway without a long drive.

Larrabee Lake is a 50+ acre full recreational lake with a maximum depth of 35 feet and no public boat launch. This means privacy is unmatched. On most days, you may be the only ones out on the water, enjoying a quiet and uncrowded lake experience.

Guests at Larrabee Lake Retreat can enjoy classic lake life, including:

Swimming

Fishing and ice fishing

Water trampoline

Dock access with life jackets

Five kayaks

Canoe

Paddle board

Pedal boat

Wildlife viewing, including loons, geese, beaver, eagles, and deer

Jump off the dock, float on the water, skip stones, catch a fish, or kick your feet up and listen to the loons. The lake is yours to enjoy.

The waterfront is a bit unconventional and part of what makes Larrabee Lake special. The bog creates open water that is largely free of weeds and lily pads. The immediate shoreline has a firm sand and pebble mix that works well for launching boats or allowing toddlers to splash and play.

The canal leading to open water can be mucky. Our kids swim it happily, but guests with sensitive feet may prefer water shoes or jumping directly off the dock instead.

Yes. Larrabee Lake Retreat offers many outdoor gathering spaces, including:

Lighted outdoor patios

Four patio areas

Fire pit

Porch swings

Patio furniture, including plush couches and chairs

Picnic tables and benches

Yard games

Relax on the porch swings, soak up the sun, start a fire, roast a hotdog, burn a marshmallow, or simply sit and talk late into the evening.

With nearly 6,000 square feet of indoor space at The Lodge, there is plenty of room to spread out. Indoor amenities include:

Yes. Larrabee Lake Retreat was designed with families in mind, especially large and multi-generational families. There is ample sleeping space, room to play, and activities for all ages, indoors and out.

Yes. With two properties directly across the street from one another, Larrabee Lake Retreat is ideal for family reunions, group retreats, and private gatherings that need space to spread out while staying close together.

Our family spent many years searching for a place that could truly hold us. We are a large family that loves to gather, laugh, play, and relax, but finding a space with enough sleeping room, room to move, and abundant outdoor activities was incredibly difficult.

Our lives took a path we never expected. What began with volunteer firefighting, EMT work, and foster care became a lifelong calling. Over time, we adopted eleven children, welcomed six biological children, and embraced additional children as permanent family members. Today, our family continues to grow as our older children marry and begin families of their own.

Creating Larrabee Lake Retreat became an extension of that calling. It is a place built for family, community, connection, and shared experiences.

So make memories. Hold hands. Go fishing and jump right in. Snuggle up and read a book. Laugh, play, and relax.

Enjoy your family.

And thank you for letting us be a small part of that journey.

With love,
The Jacobs Family
