ABOUT ANTELOPE LAKE
- 2,560 surface acres of water surrounded by trees
- stocked with perch and walleye, NO Northern
- this is a quiet, family-friendly lake
- often only a hand full of watercraft are in the water
- the lakebed tends to be rocky, water shoes are recommended
ABOUT THE AREA
- this is a beautiful, unspoiled rural development
- access includes gravel, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is advised in rainy or snowy weather
- it is surrounded by great hunting terrain with lots of PLOTS land
- multiple small towns nearby to explore
Within 30-45 minutes you will find multiple small town communities to explore - including Harvey, Rugby, Anamoose, Drake, and Balta. Gas, bait, groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, golf courses, medical care and even some darling boutiques are such fun to discover. The friendliness and hospitality of small town ND can not be beat! Inside the home, I have a list of my personal favorite shops and restaurants.
AREA FAVORITES:
- The Balta Bar in Balta, ND
- 1909 Steakhouse in Anamoose, ND
- Calacas Cocina (Mexican restaurant) in Harvey, ND
- additional recommendations for groceries, etc are available upon request
PLEASE NOTE;
- While I do welcome pets, they must be on leash when outside the yard. I also require that they stay off beds and furniture. Please pick up all pet waste. Additionally, I do charge an extra fee for pet stays.
- Smoking is only allowed in the driveway. Please pick up all cigarette butts.
- Hunters and fishermen are welcome guests. I provide a fish and game cleaning table and an electric knife. I do ask that all cleaning of game/fish is done outside. The HOA has an incinerator near the entrance of the development in which carcasses must be deposited.
- Firearms must be stored safely and cannot be fired in the yard or on HOA property.
- While we strive to be family-friendly, child safety is the responsibility of guests. Please look over toys, gates and other aspects of the property to ensure your child is safe. Please use extreme caution with children when near the water. We want The Nest to be a place where only great memories are made.
- Please be considerate of neighbors. This is a friendly, welcoming neighborhood. While we do not have quiet hours, please think of others during your stay. Also note the speed limit in the development is 15 MPH.
- We own and personally use the grey two-story home next door. My family and I are often present to answer questions and/or show guests around. The lake path is shared between our personal cabin and this rental home - but is not shared with any other HOA members. I typically stop in and introduce myself when guests arrive. Outside of that, I am happy to chat with guests if they initiate it, however, I am careful to respect your privacy.
WINTER: There is winter access. Access includes 7 miles of gravel, so we advise a 4 wheel drive truck in icy, snowy or muddy conditions. In winter months, we will have snow cleared from the driveway when you are scheduled to arrive - however, as we live off-site, daily snow removal on the lot will not be provided. The backyard path will not available in the winter. With the exception of the driveway, the county clears snow on all roads leading to the property.
Antelope Lake is a wonderful, little-known location in which to gather with family or friends to explore, boat, fish, hunt, hike, bike, nap or . . . no matter the season.
