Fall Family Cabin Getaway

We all had such a wonderful stay at the cabin! It's very cute & cozy inside! It's stocked very well of most kitchen items needed! We loved the location & had such a nice walking path across the street! Very close to town, too! Would definitely rent again!!

Crosslake gem!

Loved this property! We enjoyed a very relaxing week at the lake! We used the kayaks, enjoyed ice cream in town, went antique shopping, had pizza at Moonlight Bay, and walked/biked on the nearby trails. It was awesome and we hope to return someday!

Relaxing

We were here for a long weekend stay to celebrate my husbands birthday and enjoy the chili contest for Crosslake Days. Weather was more than perfect! Beautiful water, loons and just peaceful with the best sunrises and sunsets. We have had several visits to this cabin and it never disappoints! Very well maintained and clean!!! A true treasure!!!

Cabin

Very well appointed and thought through. For us the property is too close to Manhattan Beach resort. On the weekend there is music and boat traffic. Owner was very helpful when needed.

Wonderful spot!

Very clean and great location. Drive in a little tight, but once you are there a very nice property. We went over the fourth of July so we were a little worried about traffic, but was a nice quiet spot even with Manhattan Beach near by it was very relaxing. I would recommend going to the launch first and then bring back your trailer. Owners were great to work with and we will likely be back again!

Great family time

This was our 4th time at Pinecone Lodge. The cabin was very clean, check in was easy and the owners are always easy to communicate with. The cabin is very cozy, beautiful view of the lake and a great outside space to enjoy campfires. We used the walking trail that is just across the road, always fun to see the deer. We brought our pontoon boat so we could also enjoy some time on the water. This cabin is a great place to spend time and relax. The Kings

Perfect in Every Way

My husband, three adult children, and elderly mother greatly enjoyed our stay at Pinecone Lodge. The house had everything we needed. My mom was able to get around easily on the first floor. (The walk in shower was a must for her due to limited mobility.) We had great times around the campfire and on the dock. The walking/bike trail across the street provided good exercise and the path was pretty, mostly shady, and a good distance. This was a comfortable, clean, and beautiful home in an excellent location. We highly recommend!

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

Lovely property and cabin. Very well outfitted with all the comforts of home. Big trout lake is deep and very clean - we enjoyed boating and swimming. We would certainly return to this cabin again. The only drawback was the boat traffic particularly on the weekends at Manhattan Beach resort which is quite close. Unfortunately, they were also rebuilding the motel attached to the Manhattan Beach resort and the workmen would start hammering at 6:30 each morning. Owners were terrific when we had an issue with the air conditioner. They had it fixed in less than an hour.

February getaway

We just got home from a wonderful, relaxing weekend at Pinecone Lodge. We loved this property it was very warm and cozy. It happened to be the coldest few days in many years but you would never know it from inside the cabin. The in floor heat is fantastic. The cabin is very clean, stocked with everything you need, even a rolling pin so I could roll out bread dough for Carmel rolls. It is close to the Manhattan Beach Lodge so if you want good take out food it's still hot when you get back. Owners were easy to communicate with and checked on us after we checked in. There was a welcoming gift for us when we arrived. This is a great property. We booked it again in September and will bring a boat so we can enjoy the lake. The King Family

Fall getaway

We had another nice stay at Pinecone Lodge. 4 adults. The weather even cooperated. The cabin was very clean, a gift waiting for us on the counter...marsh mellows and Hershey bars for s'mores. The cabin had everything that we needed. Its very comfortable and cozy. We brought a pontoon boat and spent many hours on the water. Took the dog to a nice sandbar and let her swim and run around. Visited three restaurants by water and just cruised around looking at the scenery. There is a nice walking trail across the road from the cabin and we used it every morning. There is also a nice dog park and nature trail within 5 minutes of the cabin. We spent our evenings by the camp fire in the back yard, relaxing. We were also able to catch some bass off the dock , I'm sure we could have caught more if we would have gotten up earlier. This is a great place to stay and we are hopeful that we can return next year.

Peaceful week

Beautifully clean & efficient cabin. Single family room promoted together time. Bost rental is well off-site; if you don’t bring your own be sure to reserve ahead of time. Paved walkway let us walk/jog safely. Lake is lovely; loons & deer sighted often.

Family get away at pinecone lodge

This is our 3rd time at Pinecone Lodge and we are already booked for next year. This is a very quiet, cozy, comfortable cabin. The dock is just steps away and we brought our pontoon boat and took advantage of the nice weather, cruising the Whitefish chain of lakes with our family and dogs. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the backyard, this was mandatory for the family. We used the nearby walking trail each morning, with the dogs. The owners have a gem of a rental cabin and the cleaning crew does an amazing job keeping the cabin clean. The cabin is well stocked with anything we needed. Communications with the owner has been great. Bill and Gina King

Perfect

We were ever pleased with the house, yard, view and location of the very clean cabin. It was everything as advertised. We’ve VRBO many cabins in the area and found this property perfect for us. My wife, adult daughter and our 12 year old grandchild had a great time. Firewood provided for evening enjoyment. A dock to tie our boat up to. Communication with the owners was simple and responsive. We would use this property again. Thanks again to the Littles.

Memories made

Pinecone Lodge is incredible. Tim and Mary are very responsive and have thought of everything. Our kids were greeted with Halloween treat bags, our dog with milk bones and the cabin decorated for the season. The location is perfect for relaxation, yet close to everything. We loved walking around Cranberry Lake and getting coffee at the various places in town. The cabin is spacious yet cozy, and has great appliances and kitchen supplies for any meal. The radiant floor heating and stove are great features in cooler months. Fresh firewood, starters and s’mores sticks were also appreciated. We also spent an afternoon at Trout Lake Camp which is less than 15 minutes away. We will be back!

Great Crosslake experience!

This was the perfect cabin for us. We loved the location , Trout Lake is a tad quieter than some other parts of the Whitefish chain. The flat yard and lakefront made for easy access. The cabin is very clean (we are VRBO regulars, and this is not always true), well appointed and comfortable. Tim is a great owner and communicator. Wish we were there now!
