It was a pleasure hosting you at Rustic Ridge Lodge, Richard! Weโre glad you enjoyed the beauty of the home and the peaceful surroundings. Thank you for the 10/10 review, and weโd be happy to host you again in the future.--- Evan & Annie
This property was a wonderful place for a peaceful, quiet and relaxing getaway! The cabin had all of the necessities and then some! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The living spaces and bedrooms were comfortable and beautifully furnished. We would have liked to have spent more time in the game room but were too busy enjoying the outdoor spaces! Loved the sandy beach, boating, fishing and being able to see the loons and eagle every day!

What a joy to read your review of Rustic Ridge Lodge, Susan! We're delighted the home had everything you needed and that you were able to enjoy the lake, fishing, boating, and the peaceful surroundings. While we're glad you found the game room, it sounds like the outdoors stole the show! Thank you for your thoughtful 10/10 review, and we hope to host you again soon. --- Evan & Annie
Rustic Ridge Lodge was the perfect fit for our family. We had space to spread out, inside and out. The game room was a perfect addition to take a break from the heat and water. We enjoyed the included water crafts, fishing off the dock and pontoon, and even had a chance to use the firepit. We've stayed in many locations throughout the years and this one by far had the prettiest view. The hosts were able to answer any questions that we had. If we return to the area, we will definitely keep this home on our radar.

We had such a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this home! The house was beautiful, exceptionally clean, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming and thoughtfully prepared for guests.There were so many things we loved! The beautiful deck had plenty of comfortable, sturdy seating and was the perfect place to relax and spend time together. Having use of the pontoon was an amazing bonus and made our stay even more special. There were also tons of games and activities for both indoors and out, and the game room was a huge hit with our group!What really stood out were all the thoughtful little touches throughout the homeโplenty of pillows and blankets, liquid hand soap in all the bathrooms and kitchen, and an incredibly well-stocked kitchen and pantry. It truly felt like the hosts had thought of everything we might need to make our stay easy and comfortable.The host was also fantasticโsuper responsive to my texts and quick to answer any questions we had throughout our stay. It was so nice knowing that if we needed anything, help was just a message away.This is the kind of vacation rental where you can tell the owners genuinely care about their home and their guests. We made some wonderful memories here and would happily stay again. **Five stars all around!**

We had such a wonderful stay! The kids had plenty to do, and the weather couldnโt have been more perfect. We used the pontoon often and loved how close we were to Nisswa for shopping and dining. The fire pit was a favorite every night, and once the adults went to bed, the kids had a blast in the game room. The property managers were wonderful communicators and so accommodating, which made everything seamless. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation for our whole family!

We loved the property from the moment we got there! Secluded, peaceful, with lots of extras! The kayaks, paddle boards, and pontoon were used throughout each day and we often were the only ones on the lake. The pool table and games were also a big hit! Our family is looking forward to going back next summer! Hosts are very easy and friendly to communicate with. Comfy beds!

We had such a wonderful time at this cabin (it was our second time!) The cabin itself is beautiful, with a game room above the garage that the kids loved! The kids fished from the dock every day and caught tons of fish! We paddle boarded, kayaked, went out on the pontoon and had evening bonfires. The hosts were great and very responsive with any questions. We went into Crosslake for mini golf and ice cream too! We canโt wait to return!!!

Five Stars! Perfect Family Getaway at Cross LakeWe had an absolutely wonderful time at the cabin we rented in Cross Lake, Minnesota. It was the perfect family adventure for my husband and me, along with our two adult children, our daughter-in-law, and our five-month-old grandson. We made so many memories together!The cabin itself was incredibly inviting, roomy, and cozy. My oldest son specifically wanted me to mention how wonderfully soft the blankets wereโthey were a hit! The whole atmosphere just felt like a home away from home.We had a blast on the lakeโthe scenery was beautiful, and the boat rides were so much fun. My husband and kids even caught some fish out on the water. Despite our grandson catching a little cold (sorry, little guyโgrandmaโs fault!), we muddled through and still had an amazing time.A special highlight was visiting my husbandโs dad nearby and getting a four-generation photoโthatโs a memory weโll cherish forever. The hosts were fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. We would absolutely come back again!

Weโre so glad the cabin felt like a true home away from home, and weโre especially happy to hear the soft blankets were a hit with your oldest! (Weโre blanket people too ๐). It sounds like you made the most of the lake daysโfrom boating to fishingโand even weathered a little cold like champs.
You are absolutely welcome back anytimeโweโd love to host you all again for more memory-making. Thank you for treating our place with such care and for sharing your beautiful experience!--------Evan & Annie
