About this property

~~Year Round Lake Cabin w/ HOT TUB - On The Whitefish Chain!~~

Built in 1986, this lake home offers a year-round 8 person Hot Tub, all new kitchen appliances, floor to ceiling knotty pine, a large wrap around deck, a rainbow play set, a large grill, a Blackstone (my favorite), and a wonderful fire pit. We also have Kayaks and a Peddle Boat for use, and a large water trampoline for the kids to burn off some energy!

The yard is large and flat, making for a great space for lawn games. The property is nestled on 100' of lake shore with a wonderful sand beach, crystal clear water, and excellent swimming; perfect for the kids and adults, alike! Bring your boat or rent one, we've got a place for you to tie-up on our spacious dock!

This lake home comfortably sleeps 13-14 adults! There are 3 enclosed bedrooms, a large loft bedroom, and a futon in the walk-out level living area. We also have 2 pack-n-plays for young children.

There are two bathrooms, one on the main level (Sink, Toilet, Shower) and one on the lower level (Sink, Toilet, Shower, Tub). There is also a washer and dryer on site!

The kitchen comes stocked with all the eating and cooking utensils, including a toaster, popcorn maker, 2 coffee makers (Mr. Coffee & Keurig), a Crock Pot, and an ice maker in the fridge. We also have very good water (filtered and softened), so no need to lug up gallons of bottled water.

Both main level and lower level living rooms have flat screen TVs with Blu-Ray players and internet TV (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and more). The main level has a stereo.

In addition, the cabin sports central air, however, the structure breaths very nicely in the summer and stays very comfortable.

One other benefit is our location. We are located a very short walking distance to Manhattan Beach Lodge, WCCO 2017 Viewers' Choice for "Best Dockside Bar in Minnesota". There you'll find great dining, bars, and live music! We are also only a 5 minute drive from many other restaurants, bars, shopping, golfing, camping, and the grocery store.

Overall, this was a great property. There was plenty of room for people to spread out with the 3 bedrooms, the bunk room/loft, and the lower level. The bathroom in the lower level had been completely redone and it was nice and spacious. We appreciated the fast responses from the owner who provided additional tips and accommodation during our stay.

Beautiful

We had a great family vacation! The house was clean, comfortable beds/bedrooms, and lots of space. Outside there is a quiet bay and really big dock. The kids had fun fishing off the dock. Blackstone was nice to use. There were lots of steps but lift was nice, plenty of parking for trucks and boat trailers.

Great experience

Great place, owner was easily reached and easy to work with. A bit of a drive to brainerd for shopping but wonderful shopping closer in nisswa. We were there in the fall and enjoyed the large hot tub. This place would be a blast for a family in the summer months with the lake right there and lots of lake activities available. Definitely recommend!

October stay

We had a great time relaxing here over MEA break. With two families of five, the house was a good fit for all of us. The yard was big enough for our kids to play, and the hot tub was a convenient break from a chilly fall day. The house is conveniently located within a five minute walk from Manhattan Beach Lodge, and the owner was very responsive and friendly!

Perfect for a weekend on the lake!

We loved this rental. Had a group of 12 adults and we fit no problem. Even had some chilly fall days where we found ourselves inside the cabin quite a bit and had no problems! Dan was easy to communicate with and had very helpful instructions. This location is close enough to town for a quick trip to the store, shops, bars, and restaurants as well. Would highly recommend!

Hayes family vacation 2024

This home was perfect for our family to gather, play, relax and enjoy a lake. It has plenty of room to spread out both indoors and out. with decks on the front and back (huge!) of home and a large dock area down by the lake. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and all 9 of us fit around the dinner table! We enjoyed the floating trampoline, paddle boat and dock at the lake. We had fun catching sun fish and bass off the dock. The playground was a real plus for our grandchildren. We set up badminton on the back yard, took bike rides and went into Crosslake to play pickleball at the rec center, and we enjoyed mega ice cream cones at Lake Country Craft and Cones. Dan provides plenty of games, books and indoor toys for rainy days. Dan was quick to respond when we asked questions, great to work with! Thanks Dan!

Great place! Needs a little TLC

The property has everything you could need for a get away (at least from what we can tell from the inside of the house)! My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately for us, Mother Nature decided to dump several inches of snow a few days before we arrived. The driveway and a path to the door were cleared but, both the back and front decks were covered with several inches of snow making these areas inaccessible during our stay. We were unable to gain access to the beach and the fire pit due to snow as well, although that is understandable. The hot tub area is very nice and we appreciated the work that had been done to help ensure that snow melt and weather underneath the deck did not affect use of the hot tub. The chairs near the hot tub were rickety. Two were definitely not usable and should be thrown out, and the other two were questionable but, one was used successfully without breaking underneath us. The dining table and chairs were also somewhat rickety and mildly nerve wracking when in use. Overall, I think the property is great and obviously would be so much more fun in the warmer months when you can access the beach and the fire pit.

Great Family Getaway!

We had a wonderful week at this property! The cabin is located in a quiet, friendly, peaceful neighborhood. There is so much to do - swimming, kayaking, fishing off the dock, having bonfires, and soaking in the hot tub. There's a flight of around 80 stairs to get up and down from the lake, but we welcomed the exercise. There is also a lift for anyone that couldn't or didn't want to take the stairs. Cooking was easy with a well-stocked kitchen, and the Blackstone was fun to use. Beds were comfortable, and AC plus ceiling fans in most rooms kept us cool at night. Best of all, you could really tell that this was a family cabin and not run by an impersonal property management company. Dan was so nice to work with. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

MEA Weekend Getaway

We loved the location, the house had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the hot tub each morning with a cup of coffee! Most of our family ventured up the lake steps only once, from there on out we took advantage of the elevator. The only recommendation I have is to put a motion light on the deck side of the house, or fix the one that’s there. It was very dark each night! We ended up just leaving on a flashlight each night when we out there so we could see the steps.

Cabin Charm

First of all, the property owner was great to work with and very communicative. Second, the cabin had a beautiful view, easy access to the water (even an elevator if you didn’t want to do the stairs), was full of charm, very clean and had separate areas for kids and adults to hangout which everyone appreciated! Third, the boat landing was very close to the property so we were able to get the boat in the water and docked at the cabin seamlessly. Lastly, the crappie fishing was unreal! It was as if they were just jumping in the boat! It was a delight for the kiddos, adults and our veteran fishermen alike! We had a wonderful time together making memories and refueling the soul! Thank you, Dan!

We had a great time at the cabin. 6 adults, a 4 yr old and a 9 month old and there was plenty of space for all to be together and also enough separation so you could find space away if wanted. Had everything we needed and more! Our granddaughter especially liked playing on the unicorn float.. and after being in the cold September Lake water,the hot tub was the perfect way to warm up!

About the host

Hosted by Dan

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Dan!

I'm a single father raising 4 young boys (9-15), a weekend sports chauffer (so it seems), an avid skier, and I work in the medical device manufacturing industry.

I hold dear the memories made at our cabin over the years and really love that I am able to share with others the opportunity and space to make their own memories at our property.

My boys help me run this VRBO, and yep, even my 9 year old gets in on the action! They are learning skills and appreciating the work and love we put into hosting. It's truly a blessing.

Why they chose this property

Back in 2006 was introduced to the town of Crosslake, MN and the beautiful Whitefish Chain of Lakes and visited each summer. Once I had a family of my own I decided that it would be wonderful to keep the Crosslake cabin life tradition going on a more permanent basis for my children to experience. So, in 2014 we purchased our very own slice of heaven here in Crosslake, MN.

We love this place and have made so many wonderful memories here, and it makes us so happy to be able to share it so that other families can have an opportunity to make their own cabin-time memories up at the lake!

What makes this property unique

1. On the Whitefish Chain of Lakes (14 connected lakes, 14,000+ acres of navigable water).
2. Walking distance to Manhattan Beach Lodge (Make sure to visit the Tiki Bar and experience the most beautiful sunset!)
3. 5 min. drive to downtown Crosslake.
4. Close to several golf courses, restaurants, and much more!
5. The best and most friendly neighbors you'd ever hope for!
