About this property

The Iron Willow is a cozy private home centrally located in Crosby; just blocks from the Cuyuna Lakes State Trail, Crosby Memorial Park, a variety of local restaurants, skate park, children's park, hospital, Super One grocery, 24-hour Holiday gas station, ACE hardware, Family Dollar/Dollar General and more. Serpent Lake is only blocks away, and mini-golf and a gorgeous golf course are just 5 miles away. It is 16 miles to downtown Brainerd and 25 miles to Safari North (zoo) or Brainerd International Raceway.

The Iron Willow was originally a lake cabin! It was moved to it's current location about 25 years ago (sorry, no lake!). The fully stocked kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator with water dispenser and ice, electric stove, microwave, keurig coffee maker and more. The main level has a vaulted ceiling, open floor plan, kitchen island with seating and window air-conditioning units. The master bedroom with TV, a bunk-bed room and a full bath are also on the main level. There is an Echo Dot with Amazon Alexa in the living room. Ask Alexa (via Echo Dot) to turn on the TV, turn off the lights, lock the doors and more!

The finished basement includes living space with sectional and TV, 2 bedrooms with TVs, bathroom, computer, desk and a second Echo Dot.

We have WiFi, a blu-ray dvd player, a gas grill on the deck, a picnic table, a fire pit and off-street parking for 3-4 cars (or a boat trailer!). We also have a small lockable storage shed available.

Smoking outdoors only. Check-in and check-out times are usually flexible.

Thank you for considering the Iron Willow, we look forward to providing you with a clean and comfortable "home away from home"!

Great place to stay for Cuyuna MTB adventures

We had a wonderful experience staying at Michelle‘s place. She is polite, and responds in a timely manner. She is also very organized, without being bossy. We plan to return!

Iron Willow House

We had a wonderful stay at the Iron Willow in Crosby, MN. the house was clean and well equipped. We used this as our base for day trips, golfing, boating, fishing, and the NHRA races in Brainerd. We were able to use the firepit one night during our stay. This is a quiet town with some great restaurants. Trailside Bar and Grill, Rafferty's pizza to name a couple.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023

About the host

Hosted by michelle burgstaler

My husband, Stan, and I enjoy spending time with our adult children, gardening and going for road trips. We get great satisfaction from having guests enjoy their stay and are always working on improving the property!

Why they chose this property

The Iron Willow is comfortable and laid-back home that feels more like a cabin; with it's own special charm and character. Our number one priority is cleanliness and our main focus is providing amenities that make guests feel comfortable and at home. The home is in a safe neighborhood conveniently located just blocks from the bike trails and "downtown" Crosby.

What makes this property unique

We love the iron range area and the old willow tree in the front yard, thus the name, "Iron Willow". We sanded, stained and installed every tongue and groove board ourselves. We've added some smart home features that we think make the Iron Willow a unique destination; especially if you haven't experienced them yet! We've included keyless entry locks, smart switches, a smart thermostat and even smart TVs.
