The main floor living space is open-concept living at its best.

The lower-level living space is ideal for family gatherings during the evening or on rainy days. A large, regulation-size ping-pong table takes up half of the space, with the adjacent area boasting a 70" TV and XL coffee table perfect for games.

Outside, you'll find the deck that's attached to the great room for both lounging and outdoor dining. Have an outdoor barbecue on the deck with the Weber gas grill, or host an indoor dinner party with easy access to the dining room. There's also a large yard that's great for games or having the kids run around on beautiful summer days.

Other things to note
- 15 minutes away from a public boat launch on the Whitefish Chain
- 15 minutes away from Crosslake
- 35 minutes away from Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area

While there isn't a boat launch onto our lake, you are more than welcome to bring your boat for any of the many public boat launches for neighboring lakes. We are ~15 minutes away from the Manhattan Beach boat launch on Big Trout Lake, which is attached to the Whitefish Chain.

There is ample parking space at the end of the driveway for multiple cars

East Woodlake is swimmable, but the beach & dock on our property is better for viewing—the lakeshore is filled with lily pads and isn't great for swimming. There are better swimming options in the area we are happy to direct you to!

The cabin is not currently equipped with air conditioning, however it stays comfortable throughout the day as the home has dense tree coverage. We do supply fans that work great with the windows open to keep the place cool. In addition, the basement stays cool throughout the year and is a great place to relax out of the sun.

A note about renovations:
We're constantly updating and improving the cabin. We have new appliances and countertops as of July 2022, and plan to continue our renovations. We'd love to hear what you loved or wished you had after your stay to help us make the cabin the best it can be!
