Moore's Landing a Historic Riverfront Estate
Step into history. Wake up to the Mississippi. Moore's Landing is no ordinary retreat. Built in 1940 by Fred Moore, one of Anoka's most influential citizens, this magnificent Cape Cod estate has stood watch over 120 ft of Mississippi River frontage for more than eight decades. From the moment you arrive, the rolling lawn sweeps you down toward the river, where the Mississippi moves quietly past. Inside, a breathtaking view through a 16 foot glass door, framing the river like a living painting.

Rustic Retreat on Prior Lake
Prior Lake and the wider Twin Cities metro area experienced a rapid flash drought the month of July 2026 due to persistent hot and dry weather. Unfortunately, due to that rain or extreme heat parts of the beach and shoreline has been a challenge. If you're looking for a lake home to swim at the beach this won't be the one for you. The beach is NOT for swimming from shore however, directly outside the channel is the deepest cleanest part of Prior Lake.

Cozy Lake Minnetonka Cottage by Minneapolis
Our parents built this darling 4-season cottage by hand in 1950. Lovingly preserved and recently refreshed, we now want to share our little red cottage on Lake Minnetonka with guests who want to enjoy a calm, relaxing suburban lake getaway. The cottage offers a lot, and yet because we're in a quiet neighborhood and live on the commons, the little red cottage is not a spot for parties, reunions, bigger groups, or people needing boat access.
