Swimming, Fishing, Boating Fun

Great stay on O'Brien Lake. The kids and dogs enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the clear water, and playing on the Lilly Pad right at the dock. Caught a couple nice fish on the lake. Great stay!

Family vacation

We had a wonderful week at your cabin. We had beautiful weather so we enjoyed taking the pontoon out on the lake, floating in the water, going for walks and sitting on the deck looking at the lake. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect Memorial Day weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday stay on Lake O’Brien. Weather was amazing, and the pontoon boat availability was a huge bonus. Our son loved the paddleboard and we capped off each evening with a great campfire. Thank you Chris and Steve!

Perfect cabin spot!

We had a great long weekend at this cabin. The pontoon was a fabulous bonus, and I would stay here just for that again! We had 5 adults and 1 kid and it was a great space for us. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. 15 minutes from crosslake, which is nice if you need something, or to play mini golf or get icecream!Check in was easy and cleanup instructions were easy to follow.Thanks for the stay and we hope to return!!

We had a great time. Pontoon cruising the lake was great. Option to ski/tube is possible even though reading about the lake said not great for it. Super peaceful. Space was great. All enjoyed the rest and relaxing outdoors. View of the moon from the deck was great!

Great cabin

The cabin was clean and fit our families needs. We had a blast on the pontoon and Chris was very responsive with any questions we had. The lake was a bit weedier than we would have liked so we swam off the pontoon.

We so much enjoy our stay at this home. Our grandchildren believe that we 'own' it and they call it "our cabin". Love having washer/dryer in bathroom! Thanks again for a great year Chris; we have already booked for 2021

Great as always!

Such a wonderful week that always goes too fast. Lake is not a "busy" one with tons of boats. Dock and deck are so wonderful to just sit and relax the day away. Fishing is successful too!

Stay at Lake O'Brien

We enjoyed our short stay! Accommodations are very nice, comfy furniture, great TV for watching the U.S. Open Tennis! Well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful view, night sky magnificent and breathtaking. We relished the cozy, quiet retreat. Loved watching the pair of loons. Chris was very prompt and friendly in responding to any questions. Would definitely return.

Birthday get away

We enjoyed the cabin and the area. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we could possibly need for our stay, actually more amenities than most other rental properties we have stayed in. A big plus was the pontoon. It was a very nice boat for it being a rental. Fishing on the lake was good, all varieties of fish. Campfires at night were a nice relaxing end to each day. Crosslake was a cute little town that was was only a few minutes away. The large grocery store was a plus as well as cute shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
