My family really enjoyed our stay on Crosslake. Cabin was very clean and had plenty of room for my family. Great location on Crosslake. We rented a pontoon and had a really fun time out on the sand bars. Kids enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would really like to come back next year!

Great Location on the Lake

This house had the perfect balance of amenities for our family vacation. We had 6 adults and 4 children between 10 and 7. The sandy beach was perfect for the kids to play. It was free of weeds, calm, and shallow. The kids loved jumping off the dock and making sand castles. It is a great location on the lake for access to sandbars, open water, and some of the restaurants on the lake. We particularly liked Moonlight Bay and the Wharf. The kids loved the novelty of taking the boat for dinner.For kids who like to fish, we had great luck off the dock and off the boat in the bay. The kids caught tons of sunfish and perch both large and small. The bay also worked great for kayaking. It was large enough to explore but protected and calm.Overall, we had a great time and hope to be back again!

Great facility on a quiet bay with minimal boat or jet ski traffic. The kids swam and used their paddle boards and had the whole bay to themselves. The home is clean and very well provisioned for a large family gathering.

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

Great property for our large family - spacious, clean and comfortable with many activities to keep us entertained. We really enjoyed the large yard, beach area and the kayaks. We also brought 2 boats allowing us to explore the large lake for fishing and tubing. We will be keeping this property in mind for future summer vacations!

Amazing Cross Lake Cabin!

We booked this cabin for a bachelorette party and had an amazing time. The cabin was very clean and comfortably slept 13 people (with room to spare). It also had more than enough space for hosting inside and out (2 living spaces, huge yard, cozy bonfire pit, and deck looking out at the lake). The beach was also great for swimming. Cabin was also a quick drive/shuttle away from bars, restaurants, gas station, etc. Check-in/check out was easy and the property manager was incredibly nice and welcoming. As a group of girls, we would have loved more mirrors/lighting in the space, but is a very minor detail/complaint. Overall, an amazing cabin for any type of group. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Host profile image
Our family started coming to Crosslake in 2000 and we bought our first home the next year. As our three kids grew and we spent more time with our extended family, my sister and her husband wanted to spend more time with their three girls in Crosslake so we bought this home together. We hope you enjoy the personal touches and care that we put into it!
