Janet on the lakes

Shoreland rules on Fairy Lake follow the lake's DNR classification and the Todd County ordinance, which set setbacks and lot widths. Check those before planning an addition or a rebuild near the water.

The buying a lake home guide covers docks, septic, shoreland rules and financing in more detail.

We were in the market for a cabin and met Janet, with our first visit to a cabin we were interested in. Janet worked tirelessly to help us find a place that met our requirements. She was extremely knowledgeable of lakes, homes and their backgrounds. I would recommend Janet for any real estate needs.
