We had a great stay at this cabin near Crosslake! The place was spotless when we arrived and you could tell the owners really take care of it. Super cozy and clean.The setting is beautiful. A great spot for families—we had all ages with us and there were lots of games available. Loved the 2 large decks especially one by the water. The guys enjoyed the fishing, appreciated the lead to a great fishing guide!The cabin has that perfect rustic feel—it’s warm, comfy, and really well put together. Used the fireplace inside for chill mornings, and the firepit outside was awesome for s’mores under the stars.One of the coolest parts? You can hop in a boat right from the dock and go grab food at local restaurants. A really fun way to explore the area! The cabin has a big kitchen with high end appliances which was awesome too!If you’re looking for a relaxing trip with family or friends, this place has it all. Can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing week at the cabin! The owners were wonderful to work with and responded to us right away. We had everything we needed for our family to have a great week. The cabin is super clean and very spacious. It provided plenty of room for all of us, yet was cozy at the same time. The Whitefish chain is beautiful!... and the cabin is so close to Cross Lake. One of our favorite things to do was boat along the lake and stop at the restaurants and shops. Swimming right off the dock was fun also...nice sandy bottom. This is an amazing place with so much to offer… Beautiful hiking, boating, quiet and relaxing, and great fishing, both off the dock, and in the lake! We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful cabin, fantastic spot!
Thank you so much for letting us rent your cabin last weekend. Appreciate your quick response and follow through. We had a wonderful time! The cabin is so charming. Beautiful old construction, but with many fabulous updates that made for a very comfortable stay. The small separate sleeping quarters was our favorite, everyone was fighting for that spot!
It was nice to be close enough to Crosslake to get there quickly and easily, but just far enough away to "get away".
The lake view is breathtaking! Looking forward to getting back there soon.

Incredibly peaceful and home like!
Our family felt like we hit the jackpot when we arrived for our week at your cabin! Everything was so clean and had more amenities and extras than we expected. We loved the full kitchen and had fun baking cookies and bars!
Swimming in the lake was wonderful. We loved sitting on the deck and the sitting area out at the end of the dock at night! We especially loved sitting by the bonfire and roasting marshmallows overlooking the lake! The new small cabin was perfect for our college daughter! We will definitely be back! This was the full lake cabin experience we were hoping for! Thanks for everything!!

Best one yet.....a little piece of heaven!
This is a wonderful place to be for relaxing and taking in the awesome views of nature and wildlife. We have stayed in cabins from Oregon to North Carolina and this is the best one yet!
The accommodations were completely satisfactory and exactly what we expected.
Thanks so much to your family for being able to share in your piece of heaven.

Just the way vacations are supposed to be!
I wanted to thank you for sharing your great lake house with us. There wasn't anything that we felt could be improved upon. We did several days of sailing and lots of skiing. We spent most of our days down by the water and came in pretty tired - usually after sunset. Just the way vacations are supposed to be! Thanks again and hope we're be on the list for next year.

A magical week!
If you're looking for a fabulous vacation, this is definitely the place to go. Clean, well maintained, exquisite view, large kitchen, nice sleeping arrangements. The fishing was great right off the dock. Great bonfire pit and the kids loved the swimming and the sandy bottom! The owners were great to work with. We can't wait to go back this year!
