Fridhem (House of Peace) in Forest Lake

With over 3800 square feet of living space, even the largest family or group can find privacy.

The Huge Great Room is great for gatherings, yet intimate for quiet reflection around the brick fireplace.  Lots of privacy as the house is setback 200 feet from the street.  You're just steps to the sand beach and dock.  There's great fishing and lots of lake to explore as we are connected to neighboring Chisago Lake.
