Beautiful and unique cabin that was perfect for our short stay. Very clean and well-equipped. Highly recommended for a couple and maybe their spry kids/grandkids to handle the stairs to the loft. Excellent and clear communication with the hosts!

Great homebase for lake trip!

We had a wonderful time staying at the treehouse while in Crosslake. Access to the Community Center was perfect for our group of teens who used the courts, field and weight room. The beds were heavenly! I loved the crisp AC and the kitchen was well stocked. I'd highly recommend this property.

Perfect retreat

The property is exactly as shown- very clean and well maintained. The area is peaceful, and a short drive to town. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying nature, peace and quiet. It was the perfect couples retreat and would be great for a family stay as well. Highly recommended staying here! We will definitely be back!

Would recommend and rent again

We stayed in the area for a family reunion. Location was great as other family were just down the road. Place was very clean, organized, and furnished so easily met our needs. With the elevated cabin/treehouse feel it privided a unique vibe which we really enjoyed. It easily met our needs and i would stay again when in the area .

About the host

Hosted by Darrin Stuhr

Host profile image
We are the Stuhrs. We purchased the property from the neighboring Kochs in 2020. The property was built by the local builder, Wes Hanson. The property is nestled in 4 acres of woods that was given to the Koch children by their grandfather. The grandchildren built treehouse in the woods and those memories lived out years later in beautifully designed "treetop" cabins in the heart of Crosslake. We hope you enjoy the cabin as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Crosslake Treetop Escape is a rare blend of rustic charm and modern comfort set high among the woods in Crosslake, MN, offering a “tree‑top” getaway unlike any other. Our two‑bedroom cabin is perfectly appointed for couples or small groups: a fully stocked kitchen, modern amenities, strong WiFi, contactless entry, and a cozy gas fireplace. What makes it really special is the location — perched above 4 acres of pine, birch, and oak with wildlife, foliage, and views all around, yet just minutes away from the Whitefish Chain of Lakes, Crosslake’s shops, trails, and dining. Whatever the season — lake life in summer, snow‑coated tranquility in winter — it delivers a private, peaceful escape in nature without sacrificing comfort.
