About this property

~~Year Round Lake Cabin w/ HOT TUB - On The Whitefish Chain!~~

Built in 1986, this lake home offers a year-round 8 person Hot Tub, all new kitchen appliances, floor to ceiling knotty pine, a large wrap around deck, a rainbow play set, a large grill, a Blackstone (my favorite), and a wonderful fire pit. We also have Kayaks and a Peddle Boat for use, and a large water trampoline for the kids to burn off some energy!

The yard is large and flat, making for a great space for lawn games. The property is nestled on 100' of lake shore with a wonderful sand beach, crystal clear water, and excellent swimming; perfect for the kids and adults, alike! Bring your boat or rent one, we've got a place for you to tie-up on our spacious dock!

This cabin sleeps 13 comfortably! There are 3 enclosed bedrooms, a large loft bedroom, and a futon in the walk-out level living area. We also have 2 pack-n-plays as well as 2 crib mattress for young children or additional floor sleeping.

There are two bathrooms, one on the main level (Sink, Toilet, Shower) and one on the lower level (Sink, Toilet, Shower, Tub). There is also a washer and dryer on site!

The kitchen comes stocked with all the eating and cooking utensils, including a toaster, popcorn maker, 2 coffee makers (Mr. Coffee & Keurig), a Crock Pot, and an ice maker in the fridge. We also have very good water (filtered and softened), so no need to lug up gallons of bottled water.

Both main level and lower level living rooms have flat screen TVs with Blu-Ray players and internet TV (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Disney+, and more). The main level has a stereo.

In addition, the cabin sports central air, however, the structure breaths very nicely in the summer and stays very comfortable.

One other benefit is our location. We are located a very short walking distance to Manhattan Beach Lodge, WCCO 2017 Viewers' Choice for "Best Dockside Bar in Minnesota". There you'll find great dining, bars, and live music! We are also only a 5 minute drive from many other restaurants, bars, shopping, golfing, camping, and the grocery store.

Discounted rates available when paid by check or Venmo smartphone app.

Great place! Needs a little TLC
The property has everything you could need for a get away (at least from what we can tell from the inside of the house)! My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately for us, Mother Nature decided to dump several inches of snow a few days before we arrived. The driveway and a path to the door were cleared but, both the back and front decks were covered with several inches of snow making these areas inaccessible during our stay. We were unable to gain access to the beach and the fire pit due to snow as well, although that is understandable. The hot tub area is very nice and we appreciated the work that had been done to help ensure that snow melt and weather underneath the deck did not affect use of the hot tub. The chairs near the hot tub were rickety. Two were definitely not usable and should be thrown out, and the other two were questionable but, one was used successfully without breaking underneath us. The dining table and chairs were also somewhat rickety and mildly nerve wracking when in use. Overall, I think the property is great and obviously would be so much more fun in the warmer months when you can access the beach and the fire pit.

Great experience
Great place, owner was easily reached and easy to work with. A bit of a drive to brainerd for shopping but wonderful shopping closer in nisswa. We were there in the fall and enjoyed the large hot tub. This place would be a blast for a family in the summer months with the lake right there and lots of lake activities available. Definitely recommend!

MEA Weekend Getaway
We loved the location, the house had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the hot tub each morning with a cup of coffee! Most of our family ventured up the lake steps only once, from there on out we took advantage of the elevator. The only recommendation I have is to put a motion light on the deck side of the house, or fix the one that’s there. It was very dark each night! We ended up just leaving on a flashlight each night when we out there so we could see the steps.

Amazing …Again
Came for a girls trip again. This is the perfect spot for us to relax, laugh, dance and enjoy ourselves. The setting is beautiful. Everything works as it should. Dan is most responsive and answers any and all questions immediately. Check in was a breeze. The hot tub just makes it all perfect. We will be back

Cabin Charm
First of all, the property owner was great to work with and very communicative. Second, the cabin had a beautiful view, easy access to the water (even an elevator if you didn’t want to do the stairs), was full of charm, very clean and had separate areas for kids and adults to hangout which everyone appreciated! Third, the boat landing was very close to the property so we were able to get the boat in the water and docked at the cabin seamlessly. Lastly, the crappie fishing was unreal! It was as if they were just jumping in the boat! It was a delight for the kiddos, adults and our veteran fishermen alike! We had a wonderful time together making memories and refueling the soul! Thank you, Dan!

About the host

Hello, my name is Dan!

I'm a widower and single father raising 4 young boys (7-13), a weekend sports chauffer (so it seems), an avid skier, and I work in the medical device manufacturing industry.

I hold dear the memories made at our cabin over the years and really love that I am able to share with others the opportunity and space to make their own memories at our lake cabin.

My boys help me run this VRBO, and yep, even my 7 year old gets in on the action! They are learning skills and appreciating the work and love we put into hosting. It's truly a blessing.

Why they chose this property

Back in 2006 my now wife (then girlfriend) introduced me to the town of Crosslake, MN and the beautiful Whitefish Chain of Lakes. Back then we stayed at her grandparent's cabin near town. After they passed away and their cabin was sold, she and I decided that we wanted to keep the Crosslake cabin life tradition alive for our children to experience.

After loosing my wife from cancer in 2022, I decided to keep the cabin in her memory. But to keep it we had to rent it out a little more frequently than we had done prior, which helps my children save for their education. They help me keep the place up in the summer and are learning a little about business and other valuable life skills in the process (cleaning, bed making, and how to fix things). Of course, in their eyes the greatest thing remains the swimming and smores over the bonfire. :)

We love this place and have made so many wonderful memories here, and it makes us so happy to be able to share it so that other families can have an opportunity to make their own cabin-time memories up at the lake!

What makes this property unique

1. On the Whitefish Chain of Lakes (14 connected lakes, 14,000+ acres of navigable water).
2. Walking distance to Manhattan Beach Lodge (Make sure to visit Daryl at the Tiki Bar!)
3. Less than 5 min. from downtown Crosslake.
4. Close to several golf courses, restaurants, and much more!
5. The best and most friendly neighbors you'd ever hope for!
