About this property

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

Newly renovated in 2026, this lake home offers a year-round, huge 9-person Hot Tub with built-in sound system, all new kitchen appliances, a gas fireplace, floor to ceiling knotty pine, a giant wrap around deck, a rainbow play set, a large Weber 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 lake home comfortably sleeps 12-14 adults! There are 4 enclosed bedrooms and a sofa-bed in the walk-out level living room. We also have 2 pack-n-plays for young children.

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 in the lower level!

The kitchen comes stocked with all the eating and cooking utensils, including a toaster, popcorn maker, Keurig coffee maker (K-cups & regular pot), 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.

Just about every room has a Smart TV with several streaming services to choose from.

In addition, the cabin has 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, live music on Sundays, and the most spectacular sunsets! We are also only a 5 minute drive from many other restaurants, bars, shopping, golfing, camping, and the grocery store.

Overall, this was a great property. There was plenty of room for people to spread out with the 3 bedrooms, the bunk room/loft, and the lower level. The bathroom in the lower level had been completely redone and it was nice and spacious. We appreciated the fast responses from the owner who provided additional tips and accommodation during our stay.

Beautiful

We had a great family vacation! The house was clean, comfortable beds/bedrooms, and lots of space. Outside there is a quiet bay and really big dock. The kids had fun fishing off the dock. Blackstone was nice to use. There were lots of steps but lift was nice, plenty of parking for trucks and boat trailers.

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!

Family Get Together Weekend

We had a great time at the cabin. 6 adults, a 4 yr old and a 9 month old and there was plenty of space for all to be together and also enough separation so you could find space away if wanted. Had everything we needed and more! Our granddaughter especially liked playing on the unicorn float.. and after being in the cold September Lake water,the hot tub was the perfect way to warm up!

October stay

We had a great time relaxing here over MEA break. With two families of five, the house was a good fit for all of us. The yard was big enough for our kids to play, and the hot tub was a convenient break from a chilly fall day. The house is conveniently located within a five minute walk from Manhattan Beach Lodge, and the owner was very responsive and friendly!

Perfect for a weekend on the lake!

We loved this rental. Had a group of 12 adults and we fit no problem. Even had some chilly fall days where we found ourselves inside the cabin quite a bit and had no problems! Dan was easy to communicate with and had very helpful instructions. This location is close enough to town for a quick trip to the store, shops, bars, and restaurants as well. Would highly recommend!

This house is amazing! Perfect for a group!! We went for a 40th bday girls trip and we all loved it! Lots of space and it was super clean! Pretty sure the beds are better than what I have at home. Slept like a rock!! I also loved that the kitchen is fully stocked. Crockpots and everything. Will definitely book this again!!

About the host

Hosted by Dan

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Dan!

I'm a single father raising 4 young boys (9-15), 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 property.

My boys help me run this VRBO, and yep, even my 9 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 was introduced to the town of Crosslake, MN and the beautiful Whitefish Chain of Lakes and visited each summer. Once I had a family of my own I decided that it would be wonderful to keep the Crosslake cabin life tradition going on a more permanent basis for my children to experience. So, in 2014 we purchased our very own slice of heaven here in Crosslake, MN.

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 the Tiki Bar and experience the most beautiful sunset!)
3. 5 min. drive to downtown Crosslake.
4. Close to several golf courses, restaurants, and much more!
5. The best and most friendly neighbors you'd ever hope for!
