Over 37 years ago, my husband Tom’s parents found heaven on earth, and we still enjoy it to this day. It’s a beautiful piece of property with a view of Farm Island Lake (“our” lake) in Aitkin, Minn. The dirt road winding through the woods and over the creek still takes our breath away. Wildlife abounds, and so do the memories.
Our children grew up going to the cabin. Rarely was a weekend skipped. There were rollaway beds in the basement for the kids (and a lot of dogs) when the whole family got together on big weekends.

Tom’s mom called the place a lakehome, and she loved having her whole family gather there so she could cook her fabulous meals for us. After mom passed away and dad no longer had a desire to take care of the lakehome, my husband and I moved north so our seven grandchildren would be able to enjoy the cabin for years to come.
Eagles, deer, turkeys and songbirds visit us daily, and we couldn’t be happier. Life is good at the lake.
