The cabin is beautiful inside with a great view of the lake. The location is ideal, only a couple of miles from town and easy access to Cross Lake by boat. The sandy lake bottom and sturdy dock was perfect for our four grandchildren’s swimming, kayaking and fishing. The large boat lift was perfect for the pontoon boat we rented from a local boat company. If you read the reviews, you will be aware of the long staircase down to the lake, which was manageable for our group (and even provided a daily “workout”). Overall it is well worth the price.

Wonderful cabin and lakefront stay

My family and I stayed for a long weekend at this property. There was everything we needed to have a good time and the cabin was in good condition. The location can’t be beat. I would recommend to anyone looking for an up north getaway.

The property was comfortable. It was not exactly what we expected for the cost but it was okay. We have rented houses for over 10 years in Minnesota so we know what to expect. This house was okay. A few of the things that we were disappointed in were; there was outdoor carpeting on the main stairs to the kitchen held down by 4 staples on each step that caused multiple tripping hazards, there was no baby pack and play so we that was a disappointment, the fur

Great location, great views! Nicely upgraded downstairs bathroom. Deer were roaming around the house every day. The stairs from the dock to the house added to the daily exercise routine :) Would stay here again.

Beautiful Cabin High Above the Lake

We really enjoyed our time at Steve's cabin. There was plenty of room for 6 adults, 4 children and 1 toddler. The view of the lake from the deck was spectacular and the long and wide cement driveway to the cabin was a big hit with our four grandkids riding their scooters. The many steps down to the dock was a good physical activity, but the crystal clear water with it's sandy bottom made every step worth it. The shallow depth all of the way out to the end of the dock made for worry free time in the lake.

Great Cabin on our favorite chain of lakes

This cabin was great for our family vacation. The property had a nice flat yard for running around and bonfires. The lake itself was great as well - super helpful to have use of the lift for our boat. It was too cold to do much swimming, but the water and sand looked great. There are a lot of stairs to get from the dock to the yard - 60 to be exact. We weren’t expecting that and it was challenging for the 3 year old and 72 year olds to go up and down. It would have been a bigger issue if it was warmer, but the cool weather and rain made it not a big deal. We stayed in the cabin and played a lot of games. Overall we really enjoyed it!

Great Lake Views and Location

Hard to beat the gorgeous view the property offers. Unfortunately, we had terrible weather most of our stay, but enjoyed the location and view the moments it was nice. House was very clean and seemed to provide all that we needed. Convenient to get into town. Lots of steps both inside the house and to get down to the water, so beware if you have small kids or older adults with you. Ping pong table was a nice treat given the bad weather. Some nice updates have been made - new floor, downstairs bath remodeled. But some simple enhancements would elevate this to a 5-star property. Fix the holes in the screen door, better lighting in the downstairs bath and in the loft, add a screen door to the main level entrance, update the furniture in the loft. However, overall, we were happy with our stay.

Sorry about the weather it has been a bad year for rain! Of course right after you left we had a gorgeous week of warm weather! The 8 foot sliding door screen has been fixed, being the main entrance coming and going to the water it sees alot of traffic and needs fixing a few times a year aspecially with children. Looks like we had a burned out bulb in the bathroom that has been replaced. This bathroom has 3 bulbs above the mirror and a large overhead light, along with a night light. Also the shower has 4 recessed lights with a dimmer switch so plenty of light. In the loft we added two lamps to go with the two ceiling fans which have 5 bulbs each. The main level has an 8 foot by 8 foot sliding door with screen along with a side door that has a storm/screen door. We have tons of windows here and airflow has never been an issue. The upstairs furniture has been replaced. Thanks for choosing our cabin to stay at! Steve

Cobweb House

This house could use a lot of TLC. Pulling up to the home it was clear the outside has not had any love, it is in desperate need of a power wash. Windows are filthy! Refrigerator had food from previous guests in it and we were told to just throw it away. Several lightbulbs burned out throughout house, towel bar in bathroom 1/2 ripped off and recliners on loveseat non functional.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023
The out slide did need staining which was completed after the last guests for the season. Loft windows are 30 feet high and cleaned twice a year which was also completed while the cabin was stained. The cabin was professional cleaned by our highly recommended area cleaner the afternoon the guests arrived. Turns out the food left was 6 unopened cans of seltzer. For the couches we have two on the main level, one of which has reclining chairs on both ends. The other leather couch is not a recliner style couch. In the loft we have two new couches this summer, neither are the reclining style. For the light bulbs we have ceiling fans in all rooms which if you pull the string you can have all 4 bulbs lit or just two bulbs. The towel rack in the bathroom has been replaced.

Great Cabin, Great Stay

We had a group of 10 friends stay and had a great time. The property was very comfortable. The yard lakeside is great for some yard games. There are is a decent climb from the dock to the cabin so that wouldn't be ideal for anyone who struggles physically, but it wasn't a problem for any of us. The beach is amazing and all really soft sand. It's nice and shallow almost all the way out to the end dock and then drops off nicely for boat navigation. The availability of the boat lift was a nice touch. It wasn't setup ideally for an inboard, but it worked. I had to just make sure the prop shaft was far enough back on the lift.

Restful Quiet Scenic Getaway.

We really enjoyed this 3 story getaway. The views from second and third floors were spectacular. We saw a bald eagle land in a tree 30 ft away and another pick up a fish and fly into a tree. The fishing for largemouth bass was exceptional. The owner was reachable for any questions we had. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful Lake

Enjoyed our stay very much. Ping Pong in loft was a big hit. And shallow Sandy lake area along dock was great place to swim and hang out. Some window cleaning and spider web clearing outside would push it to a 5 rating.

Crosslake Stay

House overlooked Lower Whitefish lake in a beautiful neighborhood. Loved listening to the loons calling in the morning and evening. We enjoyed our stay overall. One thing that would have been nice was to have a working umbrella on the deck. Owner communicated promptly and access to the property was very easy.

Beautiful Spot on the Lake

The best part about this place is the lake. The dock is absolutely wonderful: they have an ideal spot on the Whitefish Chain! The house itself is adequate but I wouldn’t call it comfortable.

July 2014 Family Vacation.

Our family had a great vacation last summer staying at this property. The finished wood interior really makes you feel like your staying in the North woods of Minnesota. The home was very clean when we arrived. There were plenty of kitchen utensils for all our cooking needs, including dishwasher and icemaker. We spent many evenings grilling and relaxing on the lakeside deck just enjoying the gorgeous view this property has! We were able to keep our boat in the owner’s boatlift, which was very nice and convenient. The water quality and bottom are excellent here; we tubed and skied right from the dock. The swimming area is awesome, the kids spent most of their time in the water swimming and snorkeling. We were also able to catch fish right from the dock. The location is great, just a short bike ride to downtown Crosslake. They have a grocery store and hardware store in town carrying almost anything you need or forget to bring with. The kids loved the ice cream store. You can even boat to several restaurants. The fire pit overlooking the lake was a popular spot for our evening activities. The lot space is also very large; you can’t even see the neighbor’s homes. This is also true in the lake. You have so much space between the neighbors; we take up a lot of room playing in the water so this was a big plus for us. The owner was responsive and great to deal with both when picking this property and during our stay. We are staying again this summer we liked it so much.
