Finding the perfect piece of real estate to construct a lakefront home can be challenging. There are countless factors to consider, some of which may be more obvious than others. One of the first things you must do is to identify a general area where you may wish to build or buy your next vacation home. Across the United States, there are literally countless options of regions with beautiful lakes and streams; hands down though, Minnesota is one of the best. With its temperate summer climate, people come to Minnesota to escape the beastly summer heat of other locations. It's still hot enough to frolic in one of the many lakes and streams of the region, but not so hot as to make camping outside miserable. Nights are cool. Days are warm. Absolutely perfect for a summer respite. In spring and fall, the temperatures are cool, to be sure, but perfect for hunting, fishing and hiking through the wilderness. The climate isn't the only reason to venture to Minnesota - there is a reason it's called the 'Land of 10,000 Lakes.' Around every bend and turn lies yet another beautiful, still, clear, cool Minnesotan Lake just waiting to be explored. Some of the lake systems are even linked together, creating chains of lakes through the heart of the countryside.
The Whitefish Chain of Lakes region located just north of the Brainerd-Baxter area of Minnesota in Crosslake, MN. Locating a vacation home on one of these lakes allows unparalleled access to numerous other lakes and bodies of water. The Whitefish Chain of Lakes incorporates fourteen separate lakes and is situated between the communities of Pequot Lakes, Pine River and Crosslake. Just south of the Whitefish Chain is the Ossawinnamakee Chain of Lakes, allowing access to seven additionally spectacular Minnesotan lakes tucked between Whitefish and Pelican Lakes. The Whitefish Chain of Lakes region is home to at least twenty different golf courses. There are lovely dining establishments of all shapes and sizes. The shopping, including hard-to-find antiques is exquisite. Families will delight in attractions such as horseback riding, museums, miniature golf, and parks. Not to mention, the outdoor recreation here including fishing, swimming and boating opportunities is unrivaled. The famous 'Rails to Trails' project known as the Paul Bunyan Trail and the National Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway are here in the Whitefish Chain of Lakes region. If you are looking for an exciting destination to experience year after year, the Whitefish Chain certainly is a great choice. Regardless of where you choose to purchase or construct a vacation home, give careful consideration to the amenities and attractions available in the local area.
Once you have identified a general location, it is important to narrow your decision. Would you rather live near town or in a relatively isolated spot? Is it important that you have a single-family home or are you open to the idea of a condominium complex near the water? No matter what type of specific location you may be seeking, Minnesotan destinations such as the Whitefish Chain of Lakes are sure to offer plenty of options to suit your needs.
If you are looking to purchase a pre-existing property, consider the size of the property you might need to accommodate your travelling party. Will a small cabin suffice or do you want something larger? Will you be renting the property out to others when you are not using it and if so, are there characteristics that may make it more appealing to prospective renters? Are you looking for a property that is ready to move in, or are you interested in putting in a little elbow grease to truly make the property your own? You will also want to consider the amenities that you want most in a home. In and around the Whitefish Chain of Lakes, there are gorgeous lake properties with an array of possibilities, sure to meet your every need and whim.
If constructing your own lake home is the direction you choose, carefully choosing the perfect real estate is critical. Consider the view, the neighbors, area wildlife and property's location in relation to traffic and other area hotspots. Price may be a factor, as well, depending on your budget. Constructing your own log home or timber frame home can be more expensive than purchasing a pre-existing property as these sorts of plans often run over budget. That being said, planning and building your own dream home allow you to truly design your own vision.
So, if you have ever considered the possibilities of a log home or timber frame home, give careful thought to your plans. And, if you are undecided about location, why not give the Whitefish Chain of Lakes in northern Minnesota a second look? This truly extraordinary region features natural beauty, outstanding recreation and welcoming small towns; a perfect destination for vacations year after year.

Throughout the spring, summer and fall months, a kaleidoscope of wildflowers bloom along the paths and streams of the rolling countryside. In autumn, the leafy display of changing colors is amazingly rich and vivid.
Winter is also a surprisingly delightful time to explore the wilderness of this region. Visitors can snowmobile, ice fish and cross country ski through the pristine winter landscape before returning to their cozy resort or cabin for a cup of hot cocoa. Some resorts even feature winter retreat package deals complete with amenities such as horse-drawn sleigh rides through the woods, indoor pools, hot tubs, hunting expeditions, ice fishing assistance or nightly roaring bonfires.
The town of Crosslake is also home to a wide variety of family festivals and events throughout the year. When visiting the Whitefish Chain of Lakes region in late summer, be sure to check out Crosslake Days. This celebration of late summer/early autumn in north-central Minnesota is complete with a highly competitive chili cook-off, a classic car show, costume contests, softball tournaments and special discounts at the quaint gift shops and antique stores lining the streets of Crosslake. For nostalgic, old-fashioned fun, Crosslake Days cannot be beat! For a unique and truly memorable winter experience, plan to visit the Whitefish Chain during the weekend of Winter Fest, running from the end of January through the beginning of February in Crosslake.
