Excelsior Homes West, Inc. | Can I Build a Cabin On or Around Big Stone Lake, SD?

Can I Build a Cabin On or Around Big Stone Lake, SD?

August 13, 2026 by Excelsior Homes

Yes. Find the lot, and Excelsior Homes will help you build a new modular or manufactured cabin or home there, just like we’ve done for other families in the Big Stone Lake area. But before we get into building, it’s worth talking about why this particular lake keeps pulling people in year after year. Big Stone Lake has a special allure to our shared western Minnesota and eastern South Dakota border.

Moving to Big Stone Lake Area

Big Stone Lake stretches about 26 miles along the border between Minnesota and South Dakota, and it’s the official source of the Minnesota River. It’s a shallow, wide lake, which means the water warms up fast in the spring.

Big Stone Lake is known as one of the best fishing lakes around, with great perch, walleye, bluegill, and largemouth bass fishing. Many fishing enthusiasts consider this one of the region’s better kept secrets. Once winter sets in, the lake turns into one of the busier ice fishing spots in the area.

Big Stone Lake State Park sits along the shoreline with hiking trails through native prairie land. Ortonville, MN and Big Stone City, SD, sister towns just minutes apart, bring small town charm along with restaurants, local shops, and a golf course.

Built For Mornings On The Lake

The Big Stone Lake area has a way of turning visitors into lifelong residents. A weekend trip turns into a yearly tradition, and before long, a lot of people start wondering what it would take to have a place of their own on this lake and nearby developments.

Excelsior Homes gives you a few ways to make that happen. You can order a new modular or manufactured home using one of our popular floor plans, or work with us on a custom layout built around your lot and how you want to live. Whether you’re picturing a simple weekend cabin or a full time home, our team can help you build either like we’ve done for other families in the area.
