Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
Deeside has been the host location of many memorable family gatherings over this past decade. We still enjoy the beautiful scenery and water/winter activities available in the area when time permits. As our children have grown older its become more difficult to fully utilize the property even during the summer months, so we've decided its special magic should be shared with others. We hope you get a chance to visit Deeside and start your own tradition ..... one your family will appreciate for decades to come.
Why the Owner Chose Crosslake (Cross Lake)
The Whitefish Chain of lakes is one of Minnesota's largest and cleanest bodies of water with excellent trout and walleye fishing. Watersports are a particular joy as the clean fresh waters are always welcoming. A bit of a resort destination, the Crosslake/Manhattan Beach area also hosts numerous World Class Golf Courses including The Pines, The Classic, The Preserve, Deacons Lodge (A Palmer Course), Golden Eagle and the Legacy Courses. The area also abounds with many enchanting restaurants and pubs and other attractions such as a full NHRA Drag Racing schedule along with street racing at Brainerd International Raceway.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
I enjoy the wildlife most. On the property it is common to see large Red Headed Pileated Woodpeckers, and if during April and May you treat them to oranges and grape jelly, many an oriole will find their way to the property to compete with the Blue Jays for your attention. An enchanting deer trail spans the back edge of the beachfront across a quarter mile strip of beach that is the dawn/dusk destination of dozens of deer and fawns that roam the area to play and graze amongst beachside grasslands. An evening road trip around the area will often scout up 50 to 200 deer for viewing most any evening. Our personal record was 165 deer spotted over the course of a 45 minute "cocktail cruise".
