This was a perfect lakeside getaway! We traveled with our 6 month old and it was the perfect set up for us! You have direct lake access, kayaks and paddle boards were provided! The lake is quiet and very clean! The cabin looks exactly as pictured! Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful trip!

The cabin was perfect for a relaxing getaway- private, beautiful design with games and activities supplied. It was very apparent the host put a lot of effort into making sure guests have everything they made need or want while there. We would definitely come back and stay again!

Our stay was dreamy! We rented the cabin for a girls weekend and we all can’t wait to come back! It’s the perfect distance to Nisswa for shopping & restaurants, but as soon as you arrive at the lake it’s peaceful & private to enjoy the company of friends. It’s decorated impeccably and has everything you need for a long weekend! The beach was combed and groomed for us & firewood was available for a campfire. You can tell they take great care of not only the cabin, but their guests. I would 100% recommend staying here! We will see you again in two years for another girls weekend! Thank you for the most perfect stay!

Property is as described. We enjoyed our stay. Water was very clean clear and warm with sandy beach and bottom. Enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks that were available to use. Makenzie answered all questions promptly and was great to deal with. Extra patio room was great for hanging out and playing games and with doors closed to the house it was very quiet for the early morning risers.

Our stay was perfect in every way. When we arrived, I felt as though we were stepping into a Pottery Barn showroom. Although the house was not huge, the high ceilings, open floor plan and lighting made it seem very spacious. Our group was two couples and the two bedrooms, each with a king bed and bathroom worked out great. We took advantage of the kayaks on the beautiful clear lake as well as the hot tub. The location was convenient to both Cross Lake and Nisswa. We have rented several cabins in this area over the last several years and feel that this was our best experience. We would highly recommend this property.

My husband and I needed a break and some R and R so badly! We really lucked out in finding this beautiful home on the most peaceful lake ever. We stayed M-Sat so we felt like we had the lake to ourselves. Theres a Loon family we woukd check on daily and it was a joy to see a baby Loon! The bed was so very comfortable which allowed us a great night's sleep. The kitchen had everything you'd need and the layout is quite comfortable and peaceful. Our kids are grown now, but I can see a young family would really love it here! The beach would be so fun for little kids! I hardly left the house as I spent lazy days with my feet up and a daily boat ride which was glorious. There are games and puzzles here if youre inside. We loved it here and will be back. Thank you!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Makenzie

Host profile image
Hi, I’m your host! Born and raised in the beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area, I have a deep love and appreciation for everything this area has to offer. When I’m not busy helping others as a local realtor, I’m spending time with my family. My partner and I enjoy making memories with our four kids in the summer at the lake, ice skating & snowmobiling in the water, and traveling any chance we get.

I’m passionate about sharing the charm of the BLA and excited to help you create your own unforgettable experiences here. Welcome!

Why they chose this property

We are centrally located! When exploring the BLA, many people love to tour Crosslake, Nisswa, Brainerd, and Crosby. We are just a short 10-20 minute, as we are right in the middle!

We also chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Tucked away on a quiet, private road, the small lake provides a peaceful retreat with more privacy than larger lakes. Despite its secluded feel, Instacart still delivers, adding modern convenience to the charm of this location.

What makes this property unique

Our property is truly one-of-a-kind! This brand-new construction offers a cozy yet spacious feel, thanks to its high ceilings and thoughtful design. You’ll enjoy some of the best sunset views in the area, creating the perfect backdrop for a family getaway or a romantic retreat.

With a sandy beach and shallow shoreline, it’s ideal for kids to play or for simply relaxing by the water.
