Why the Owner Chose Brainerd
I am from the area originally, and we have always had a cabin on Crow Wing Lake for the last 24 years. In 2004 we built our dream home, which could accommodate guests.
The Unique Benefits at this House
A great Lodge type home just steps from the shore. Perfect elevation and a great place to fish off the dock or go swimming. Then come in and enjoy a gourmet full private kitchen with granite counter tops, and all the dishes/pots/pans provided. There are 3 different sitting areas outside. A 40 foot covered porch, a 700 sq ft patio by the lake, and a side deck facing the lake. You will find a cozy spot to relax for sure!
Owner's Map of Brainerd
My husband and I retired from Minneapolis, MN and are living our dream full time in the Brainerd Lakes Area. We built our home in such a way where we could have guests stay with private quarters and enjoy 'up north' Minnesota with all the comforts of home. Come enjoy the peaceful atmosphere on the lake without all the other people from resorts. You will be back!

Fantastic Family Vacation

Fantastic! I met my family here for our annual family vacation...There was enough room for the 7 of us. The house was beautiful and was better than we expected...with so many of us having a kitchen is a must and this one had more than we could have asked for. Joan and Howard were wonderful, from the delicious brownies and bars, to building the fire and the fishing we couldn't have had a better time.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

OMG! We had so much fun here at Joan and Howard's Lake house. This house is so beautiful in and out from the bedroom to the outdoors. This house has everything just like home. If we needed anything, Joan had it. The smiles and the friendly hospitality we received was welcomed from out first day to our last day. The kitchens (yes two) was fun to cook in. My mom really enjoyed her birthday here at your home and we plan to return again. The grass surrounding this property was beautiful and the landscaping was picture perfect. The pictures on this site does not do this place justice! I would recommend this place to anyone who like nice things. We had a party of 7 ranging from 40 to 70 years old and everybody gave this place a two thumbs up. Again, thank you from Kim, Yuran, Betty, Yolanda, Isabelle and Ann from Los Angeles CA, Denver Colorado and San Diego Ca. July 16 -23, 2011

We stayed a week at the house this summer and had a wonderful time. This is a great set-up for families, and Howard and Joan make every effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable in their home, but with plenty of privacy to go about your daily routine. They within driving distance to many activities, but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful moment on the breezy porch. We'll definitely stay there again! And thanks for the yummy bars!!

My wife and I stayed here this winter to ice fish and have a relaxing weekend. Howard was very helpful in our attempt to ice fish! Is was very convenient to just walk out from the house to fish. The homeowners were very accommodating, and we loved the bars Joan made for us. We already told some friends to check it out!

I have spent several nights at this property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet lakeside experience. This is a beautiful, new, completely decorated home with separate access to the sleeping rooms. The separate kitchen and living room upstairs make it a very relaxing hideaway. I love the level access to the sandy beach where I could lay in the sun without a crowd of people to step over.
