Family Time

It was a great get together with family who flew in to visit. The house was a perfect gathering spot for us all. The fireplace and sitting room area kept us all warm and cozy since the weather was very cool and a little rainy. We did get to enjoy a fire by the lake one evening. The fire pit area was beautiful looking out at the lake and enjoying the views of loons and a little muskrat family that entertained us. Definitely would recommend this home for a getaway from reality.

Amazing 1st Weekend of May

This cabin was perfect for celebrating my in-laws’ 40th Anniversary. The cabin had everything we could possibly need for all ages, including toys & activities for the kids. We were able to enjoy the expansive deck overlooking the lake, and the kids spent hours on the playground. The guys spent an afternoon golfing at Deacon’s while the ladies/kids explored Crosslake shops. We ordered pizza from Rafferty’s for a late night of cards around the large kitchen table. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from the beach - including loons, geese, ducks, turtles, fish, blue heron, and a muskrat. There wasn’t enough time in our weekend to explore with kayaks, so we’ll definitely need to stay longer next time! The hosts have thought of everything you may need and have great communication! Highly recommend this cabin for a family vacation!

Great cabin but gross lake

The cabin itself is very nice inside, with great finishes and furnishing and a mostly clean interior. The cabin has a great lake view and multiple options to enjoy it including a screened porch and large deck with grill and dining table. The location near Crosslake is great for trips in town for groceries, dining, and activities. Unfortunately our stay was mostly ruined due to the lake beach area being gross and un-swimmable, despite the listing's claim of "crystal clear waters." The entire swimming area was filled with disgusting green and brown moss and pond scum floating on top of the water. And while the owners have trucked in some sand to cover the bottom of the initial few feet of beachfront, the lake itself is mucky-bottomed starting about 10 feet out, so stepping around or jumping in from the dock stirs up all sorts of gross lake muck. If you are looking for a nice cabin to enjoy some lake views and excursions around the area, this is a great place. If you are looking for a place to enjoy swimming and beach play with younger kids (which was our main goal), I would recommend looking elsewhere. We greatly look forward to our once-a-summer lake cabin stays, and we were incredibly disappointed to not be able to enjoy our favorite activity of swimming and playing by the beach with our young kids this year.

Very nice house. Very comfortable, great location. Kids had a great time fishing off the dock. They caught a lot of fish. We used the firepit to do s’mores, thanks to our hosts that left us a very nice welcome gift. Hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had. Quiet beautiful lake. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Place and Gracious Hosts

We had a wonderful weekend in this lovely cabin. The location is right on the lake in a wooded area and near the town of Cross Lake. Everything was clean and tidy. The kitchen was great as we enjoy cooking. The accommodations were just right for our party. Importantly, the hosts were very responsive and eager to make our stay an enjoyable one.

Family Getaway

This cabin was everything we hoped it would be. Excellent location in the heart of Crosslake, close to many restaurants along with mini-golf and ice cream for the kiddo’s. Big Pine lake while shallow was great for our rented pontoon, and swimming for the kids. The Peterson’s were excellent to work with, and got back to us on anything we needed. Highly recommend, we will be back!
