Marion Lake Lodge: With Wakesurf & Pontoon boats!

Create memories with friends and loved ones at Marion Lake Lodge!

A wonderful gathering place for families, friends, and more. A huge front yard for games, a fully converted garage entertaining area, `The Mental Repair Shop,` and a private dock just steps from the home. At the end of the dock, you`ll find two great boat rental options. Our 2021 Tahoe GT RF pontoon is perfect for fishing, tubing, sunset cruises, and spending a relaxing day on Marion Lake with family and friends. For groups looking to wakesurf, wakeboard, waterski, or cruise the lake in style, our 22ft, 2022 MasterCraft NXT wakesurf boat is also available for rent and is great for both beginners and experienced riders.

This is the place for easy living, beautiful sunsets, and great times on the water.
We also offer discounts for longer stays—so settle in and enjoy lake life at your own pace.

This home is one of the only true `turnkey` lake house experiences out there. We have meticulously designed the home and guest experience to provide all the benefits of owning your own lake home. The property features a private beach, private dock, and access to two boat rental options: a 2021 Tahoe GT RF pontoon that`s perfect for fishing, tubing, and relaxing days on Marion Lake, along with a 22ft, 2022 MasterCraft NXT wakesurf boat for wake surfing, waterskiing, and other lake adventures.

The house was designed and decorated with families and groups in mind. The 3-stall oversized garage has been converted into a large entertaining room, complete with a bar, game table, lounge chairs, and a buffet serving area. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for longer stays and big meals at home. For those mixing a little work into their trip, we have fast, reliable mesh WiFi, an electronic sit/stand desk, and sliding glass barn doors for privacy.

Most importantly, this home comes with a wonderful community supporting it: friendly and welcoming neighbors, as well as family members of the owner nearby. If you ever need anything during your stay, we’re always around to help. We love Marion Lake, we love sharing that experience with new people, and we want to make sure you get a chance to fall in love with Marion Lake the way we have.

I have family that lives a few doors down in both directions, so if you ever need anything, give me a call/text, and we can have someone over asap to help you!

Friendly, quiet neighborhood. Mix of primary residence homes and 2nd homes. Great community, very friendly!

Easy neighborhood to navigate, plenty of parking at the house.

Decades ago, my grandpa and great-grandpa built a cottage just down the shore, and with that, our family has been on the lake for 60+ years. I grew up in Minneapolis and spent every summer up here a few doors down. Early on, we were all crammed into a tiny cottage and tents in the yard when guests came. Over time, the tents went into storage as my parents added a bedroom onto the garage.

While life has brought me literally around the world—living in New York, London, Singapore, San Francisco, and now Reno—Marion Lake has always been home. Whether a 3-hour drive or an 8,000-mile flight, I’ve always found a way to get back to the lake at least once a year.

An opportunity came up in 2021 for me to buy this home and achieve my lifelong goal of having my own place on Marion Lake. I’m excited to share a little piece of it with you, and I hope this place creates special memories for you and your group—just like the countless ones I have.
