Cabin 1
We had a very nice time here. I would have to say this was the cleanest cabin i have ever stayed at. There was almost any kind of kitchen item you could imagine for cooking. It was great being so close to the lake. We enjoyed time out on the deck and being able to grill. All cabins looked occupied but you would never know it as everyone was so respectful and quiet. We would come back again.

Great place to hang your hat
This is a great place to call home away from home. We were here in the later part of September. Checked in on Sunday and out on Friday. It was nice and quiet, but that could be due to the fact we weren't there in the summer or on the weekend. We were using the cabin as our base to do some hiking and biking at Itasca State Park and La Salle Lake State Rec Area. Beautiful views and peaceful. The only issues we had: the cabin is in need of some foundation repair, so there is a slant on one side of the cabin. If you're not careful you could lose your balance (if you had one too many to drink). The bathroom door doesn't close completely, so you have to trust whoever is in the cabin with you to not peek. The water is not what I am use to, very stinky. We picked up some bottled water after arriving. And the cabin is down a steep set of stairs. It's not for people with mobility issues. Having said all that, I'd still stay there again. It was a peaceful place to come back to after a day of exploring. Maybe next time we'll have time to try out the lake.

Thanks, Chris. We do plan to work on the foundation of the cabin. It is one of our most rustic cabin. For some people, well water does have a smell to it. That is not something we can avoid. I was not aware of the bathroom door so will look into that issue.

Blissful
Our experience of this resort and it's management--welcoming, clean, responsive and full of Northwoods character. West Crooked Lake Resort is small but packed with options and excellently located to pursue any type of activity or none at all. We're newly retired and for the first time vacationed when most others are not--arriving the Sunday directly before Labor Day. Most tourist-related businesses were still open but not crowded. Property owner Susan and property manager Rick are both experts at what they do and immediately responsive to any question. Cabin 1 is prepped to anticipate every need. We loved the privacy of our own fire ring and view of the lake. Best for me was "forest bathing" amidst the giant Norway pines. Love, love, love this place.

Nevis lakeshore cabin
Perfect cabin right on the lake, quite and clean with water toys and well maintained lawns around cabins. Definitely will book again, super friendly host on resort property. Picture doesn’t do the cabin justice.

Clean and Welcoming -- Need Updates
The place is right on the water front and was really clean. Unfortunately, it was poorly insulated. We had to run water all night so the pipe wouldn't freeze. Perfect kitchen appliances and tools, NO seasoning. I expected a minimum of salt and pepper. Otherwise, it should be included in the listing that you have to bring everything. A pleasant visit with a lot left to be desired.

I am so sorry about the salt/pepper. We normally do have that in the cabin. It must have run out with the prior rental. It is true that this cabin has no insulation and we really can't do anything about that without a major renovation and that is one of the reasons the price is so reasonable on this cabin. It is unfortunate that your stay was a very cold weekend. You were actually the last rental for the season. We always have a difficult time deciding when to shut down this cabin. Winter came early this year so unfortunately we had one extra rental we probably should not have taken.

Perfect R &R!
A great & cozy getaway for my wife and I. We had everything we needed. We grilled, made homemade pizza, and ordered take out at Cindy Lou’s restaurant (awesome food). We rented a pontoon and spent a day on the lake. The cabin was perfect, with a stellar view of the lake which was awesome with morning coffee on the deck, and the sound of loons in the air. Darin was always there when we needed him. Oh, our dog Brody gives it 5 stars (4 paws up) also. All in all a much needed & satisfying reprieve. Thank you Susan & family, and Darin

So very private , nice to be right on the lake
the only concern was that we did have mice in the cabin at night we heard something and I got up and saw one. they seem to keep to the floor --- so we just make sure everything was covered over night.

I am so sorry about the mice. We will look into that.

The little cottage on the Lake
Overall I came to enjoy the small quaint cabin on the lake. Was working in Park Rapids for a week and the days were very long, which made it hard to enjoy the property and the lake. It was an awesome place to come back to in the evening. A couple of notes: Bathroom - small but adequate for me. I would board up the window and install a mirror there above the sink, for shaving, etc. Also the main entry door has a large gap on the bottom allowing cold air to enter the cabin, especially at night. The baseboard had trouble heating the cabin when it dropped into the 20's. The small additional heater helped take the chill out, especially in the morning. The place needs some maitenance especially the deck, roof, etc but overall I enjoyed it and would come back. One other note- the VRBO site says its 12 miles from Park Rapids when its actually 18 miles. Made a difference for me especially driving in and out every day. Doug

It was a very cute clean comfortable little cabin!
It was perfectly laid out and set up with everything we needed and more! The one room size may be small but it didn’t feel tight, it still felt spacious and was just right for our likings! :) The lake view was fabulous with the shoreline nice and close, which we love! It was a peaceful, relaxing & beautiful lake. The loons sang every day and evening with their little fluffy baby in tow that so cool to see!! The temps were cooler than a normal for a June week but our stay was just what we needed from the busy rush of life. Thank you Susan for renting your quaint little cabin out for us to stay at and being so accommodating with the dates we needed, and thank you to the Management staff that were friendly and helpful. We do plan to be back another time. :)

good quiet location, nice lake views, but small
We enjoyed our stay in this studio cabin north of Nevis. Bed is good, cute little kitchen, but very little counter-top space. Full size fridge. Bath is tiny and cramped for my 6’3” height. Only 1 side table w light for reading in bed. Floor gets cold when outside temp drops and wind blows. Friendly property manager who is available to answer questions.

Thanks, Rick, for writing a review. I am sorry if the space was too small for you. We do have the size of the living area (324 sq ft) included in the listing and there is a photo looking into the bath, which does show it is small. I never want to mislead anyone. I hope that you might consider another cabin at our resort. Our 2 and 3 bedrooms cabins, which we will rent as one bedrooms in the fall and spring, are much more spacious.

Sweet cabin tucked away with great view of the lake!
Overall our stay was amazing! We chose this for our anniversary getaway and were not disappointed! The cabin is perfect for a couple with lots of amenities so you really only need groceries and you are set! Area has lots of little tourist shops to visit within 30 minutes. Fishing is good! We didn’t utilize the paddle boat, canoe or kayak but they are easily accessible to all cabins. Saw lots of family’s playing yard games and firewood is available for a fire if you like! We miss it already but will definitely be back!!

Great location & Everything we needed
We were pleasantly surprised by the amazing view of the lake we had from the cabin. The cabin was cute & fully stocked with everything we needed. The resort had all the beach & water toys, life jackets, dvds and lawn games we could have needed. Only complaint is the bed was a little uncomfortable.
