Absolutely perfect destination for 2 couples celebrating anniversaries! Amenities exceeded our expectations, as did the host who gave us lots of info on the area to make our trip fun. Location is walkable to Nisswa on a beautiful state trail, pontoon cruise was peaceful and the sauna was a warm welcome on a chilly day. Quality furnishings and comfy beds make this place a special treat and that’s exactly what we want from a vacation. Could not have asked for more. Thanks so very much!

This is our second time staying at this beautiful, charming cabin and it was just as perfect as the first time! It was chilly this time around, so we got to curl up and relax in front of the warm glow of the fireplace. Despite the nippy breeze and cooler temps we made use of the pontoon and my son caught a 38-inch northern pike, which made the trip even more memorable, as it was his birthday getaway! I can’t say enough positive things about this cabin - you need to see it to believe it. Now would be the perfect time as the leaves were just starting to change. You won’t regret it!

We had the most amazing trip at this property! We had a total of 9 adults/teens staying with us and it fit everyone very comfortably (we did decide to include the upstairs area in our booking). The location was amazing! Within walking distance to the shops in Nisswa, right on the Paul Bunion walking trail, right on the water, etc. It was so amazing to have the pontoon included in the stay to avoid renting from a separate company! The lake and landscape was beautiful and the weather was perfect! The house was decorated so beautifully, everything was new and modern, and very clean, and the host was amazing! We cannot wait to rebook this property and are already planning a trip for next summer!!

This cabin is beautiful! Brand new construction with all new furnishings. The cabin is cozy, comfortable, has nice decor, was thoughtfully designed, and everything was so clean. We enjoyed the covered porch and the sauna. The dock has a nice seating area and privacy with no neighbors close by. The pontoon is spacious, comfortable & very clean. It is nice to be right on the Paul Bunyan trail and to be so close to Nisswa. Lower Cullen is a quiet peaceful lake and the fishing was good. When outside, there is road noise from Hwy 371, but we could not hear it in the cabin. The owner was great to work with - gave a lot of helpful information, responded quickly, very friendly, and great communication. I would recommend this rental and would love to stay here again.

From the moment we arrived, this cabin felt like a home away from home! Every detail was thoughtfully prepared - comfortable, cozy, beautifully decorated, spotless and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.The pontoon was a highlight and Lower Cullen Lake is gorgeous with great fishing. It was lovely to be so close to Nisswa - we just felt it was the perfect blend of all the things we wanted to enjoy!Krista, our host, was fantastic! Friendly, responsive and genuinely cared about making our stay the best it could possibly be. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to escape the city and unwind! We highly recommend this cabin and can’t wait to come back in the fall!

About the host

Hosted by Krista Fogarty

Host profile image
My husband grew up in the Brainerd Lakes Area and after college, we decided to move back and have since gotten married, raised two children and ran businesses here for the last 27 years. We love this area and have been blessed to call Pequot Lakes our home for the last 20 years. We enjoy boating, hiking, biking, skiing and sailing. When not enjoying the outdoors in our beautiful area, you will find us traveling or visiting our kids in Montana or family in Arizona.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of this property, it is situated just one mile north of downtown Nisswa. The Paul Bunyan Trail is just a few steps from the property, so you easily can jump on the trail for a walk, run or bike into Nisswa or head to Pequot Lakes which is 6 miles north. Also, Lower Cullen Lake is a quick walk across from the property where you can access the dock, pontoon and fire pit area down by the lake.

What makes this property unique

This property is new construction, we used high end finishes throughout to make guests see that we took care in making this property special for the people staying there. Each space was made with coziness, comfort and company in mind. The open kitchen and family room will be the gathering place for meals, games and relaxation. We love to travel, so we made sure to equip the kitchen and bathrooms with all of the amenities you would expect to have at home. There is also an upper-level that guests can add onto their stay for an additional fee if they are hosting parties larger than 6.
