Very nice property in great location. Not having a recycling option when you have 10 people staying somewhere for a week is a little odd but overall a great place. Would stay here again.
After a weekend of celebration, the newlyweds, their parents and relatives needed to unwind. The house was large enough 4 couples. Well equipped, comfortable beds, hot tub, grills, kayaks. We didn't have enough time(5 night stay) to enjoy all the amenities. The host was prompt to address any issues (smoke detector chirping) and was pleasant to meet.A beautiful, spacious home with a vibe meant for people to enjoy.
We had a wonderful stay. The home is well maintained, clean, and has plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Great views and quiet location on a small bay with easy access to Rush Lake and beyond. Highly recommend this property.
We enjoyed the secluded cove this home was located in, just outside the busy Rush Lake. The views from the living room to lake are stunning & this owner has so many fun amenities to enjoy. Our family had a great time!
As others have said, plenty of spaces for groups to spread out. Screen porch was a popular game room. Enjoyed boating to sand bars and restaurants. And a great plus for boat owners is the protected bay so boats sit quietly at the dock no matter what the wind might be doing.
House is on beautiful calm cove so kids were able to swim and paddle board safely. Log home is spectacular and large enough for 12 with lots to do... We had great weather all week which made it even more fun!
We enjoyed our stay here during the week of the 4th of July. Loved the location in the bay where we could paddle board and kayak. Just right outside the bay was very nice calm waters to tube and waterski. The cabin was very comfortable and roomy. Dan, the host, was excellent as we requested to move some dates around and he was very accommodating. Thank you Dan - we really enjoyed our stay at your cabin !!!
The home is situated in an amazing location on a very quiet bay but close to local restaurants on the water. The home itself is very large and fit our family very comfortably. The basement was a great space for us all to hang out with fun amenities and ample space for us all. We ran in to a few very minor issues during our stay but the host was very responsive with amazing communication throughout. Highly recommend.
This property was even more beautiful in person.
Lots of water toys for the kidsâŠpaddle boating, paddle boards, kayaks, tubes. Fishing right off the dock was great with a steady action. Caught sunfish, northern pike, and largemouth bass. Rented a pontoon right on lower white lake which was right around the corner of the cabin.
Bring shampoo and conditioner. The dining area seats 12 easily plus you have the 3 season porch with picnic table. Great family vacation spot.
We planned a trip beat the Arizona summer heat and couldn't have found a better place in Crosslake Minnesota! The house is large, well-stocked with toys and amenities, and the backyard area is absolutely perfect. We found the dock a great size to tie up our pontoon boat and it provided plenty of room for group fishing. The lake area out back is a good size too, with plenty of room to anchor jet skis off-dock. Last, Dan was a great host who was very responsive and made sure our needs were met. We'll definitely be visiting again next summer.
This was our second stay at this beautiful house on the Whitefish chain of lakes and the house is as amazing as last year. It is very well stocked, very well taken care of, and the property owner, Dan, is very quick to respond with any questions. Checking in and out are very easy and the house was very well cleaned. The location is ideal. We did bring our own pontoon so the dock and ability to keep that there was also perfect.
We really enjoyed fishing from the dock each day and the use of the kayaks and paddle boards. The little bay is fairly shallow and makes it great for spotting fish and other wildlife (turtles). We also used the driveway quite a bit for badminton, bags, and giant checkers.
We would highly recommend staying here and can't wait to return again next summer.
We had a big group, 10 of us, aged 9 yrs to 88 yrs !! We all enjoyed the super spacious home that was filled with fun things like dart board, pool table, bag toss, great firepit and of course, that beautiful lake! Perfect place for a wonderful family get away!!
Beautiful home in a very peaceful, quiet cove off Rush lake. Plenty of room for our family reunion - fun outdoor space, nice deck with a hot tub for star gazing, great fire pit, large dining, family room and basement entertainment areas. Kitchen made for some great family cooking. Saw deer, a large turtle, loons, golden eagle, lots of little fish. Dock was great for our rented pontoon and nice access to both Cross and Whitefish lakes. Dan was an attentive host and answered any questions we had promptly. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!
This was our third year in a row we have had our family lake vacation at this home. That pretty much says it all. We love it! Perfect for all 13 of us. There's so much space we are not on top of each other and the location on a cove of the lake is quiet and secluded. Plus the owner has kayaks, paddle boards and floatees all at our disposal. Our grandchildren have a wonderful time fishing off the end of the dock; a great pastime on those rainy or overcast days. Dan has always been great to work with and if we have had a question during our stay, he is quick to respond with whatever action is needed. Definitely the perfect spot for your summer getaway!
Beautiful House! This is our 3rd summer vacationing in the Crosslake area and this house was perfect. The location is great with very easy access to all of the lakes. We really enjoyed the bay that we were in since it wasn't as rough or as windy as the main lakes. There are lots of fish right at the dock that the kids enjoyed catching with fishing poles and nets. We had a great time on the paddle boat, lily pad, and swimming right off the dock. It was also very easy to dock our pontoon and still have plenty of room to swim around it.
The house is very well stocked with supplies and has plenty of room to spread out for larger groups. We had four families all together and we never felt like there wasn't enough room and we loved the two dining spaces so we could all sit and eat. We really enjoyed the all seasons room and all the furniture is very comfortable. The front yard/driveway area was perfect for setting up yard games (badminton, connect four, bags, and giant checkers) and the fire pit area out back was great for s'mores.
Dan was great to work with and very quick to respond. We can't wait to come back!
Dan is a firefighter for the last 21 years while Renee works in the food industry. Were both very busy but enjoy getting away to a lake to enjoy time away and will retire in this home to enjoy the year round beautiful area.
We both grew up in Minnesota and moved away but never lost the love for the water and area. This home with its location and layout was just what we wanted to find.
The downstairs area with the bar area is unique and usable then add in the space for a pool table, sauna and TV area with great views just makes this a place to enjoy and feel relaxed. We are sorry to say the the wood fire places are not to be used, only the gas fireplace in the basement.
