About this property

SUMMER fun in a cozy log lake home on the Whitefish Chain under the tall pines

You will want to come and see why Cross lake is one of the hottest spots in Minnesota to vacation.

Our cabin is located on 'Big Trout Lake' connecting to 14 lakes on the Whitefish Chain ready for you to explore.

Big Trout is known for it's pristine water clarity, lake depth and for it's great fishing and swimming.

Our cabin sits on a level shoreline lot allowing everyone to be able to enjoy the lake! There are no steps or steep hills to climb just to get close to the water. Our cabin sits close to the water among the tall pine trees and offers an excellent sandy lake bottom for great swimming and a private dock ready for you to tie up your boat. There is also a beautiful walking, biking and jogging trail just steps away from our cabin that takes you along the scenic Manhattan point.

After a great day on the lake, Cross lake offers many great restaurants either by boat or just a quick drive into town, and Manhattan Beach Lodge bar and restaurant is just a short walk from the cabin.

Cross lake has so much to offer and has golfing for adults and kids, great shopping options, walking or biking paths and many other amenities, and the Brainerd/Baxter area is only approximately 30 minutes away.

After dinner, you will want to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, relax on the porch with a great beverage, or have a great campfire with the fire-pit that sits close to the lake for evening campfires and s’mores!

Our log cabin is clean, well equipped, nicely furnished throughout and is a perfect place to build memories with family and friends.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
