Minnetrista Lake Lodge
Scroll to viewThis pictorial property sits in a valley surrounded by wetlands and Lake Minnetonka, with water views in every direction. The owners desired a new home that captured their love of Scandinavian architecture, early 1900’s lake Minnetonka lodges, and their eclectic collection of antiques. Because of a uniquely wide lot, we designed the home to be narrow in depth (only 1-2 rooms deep in most areas) yet meandering in its width, allowing natural light to filter through the home effortlessly, with most every room achieving lake views.
