We have had renters for 15 years every summer and our guest book reviews are available upon request!

Special features abound, including new central A/C for added comfort during warm summer days, a spacious deck overlooking the swimming area, and a majestic fireplace crafted from hand-cut lake rock, complete with firewood for cozy evenings. Inside, the cabin showcases full log beams, creating an atmosphere of rustic elegance, while the remodeled dining room and kitchen boast wood floors and top-of-the-line appliances.

Clean city water ensures convenience, while the comfortable living room furniture invites gatherings and relaxation. Step onto the full front deck or unwind in the large screened porch, both furnished for ultimate comfort and providing breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and views of the lake.

Inside the main cabin, find ample sleeping arrangements, including a king bed in the primary room, an additional king bed, two queens, and four twin beds, accommodating the whole family and more.

For additional accommodation, a rebuilt one-room sleeping cabin just 20 feet from the main cabin offers a queen bed, ensuring privacy and comfort for guests.

Beyond the cabin's comforts, outdoor adventures abound. Enjoy swimming, family fishing escapades, biking, hiking, boating and water sports on the pristine waters of Lower Whitefish Lake. Arrange for expert fishing guides to enhance your experience, or rent the pontoon for leisurely lake explorations.

Conveniently located just minutes from Crosslake, guests can explore a variety of dining options, boutiques, and entertainment venues. Venture further to Nisswa, or explore local trails and golfing opportunities for added leisure.

Whether seeking summer bliss or off-season tranquility, our lake home offers a haven for unforgettable vacations. Book your stay today and create cherished memories amidst northern Minnesota's natural lakefront beauty.

Amazing Northwoods Cabin on Whitefish Chain

We had a great stay at this cabin near Crosslake! The place was spotless when we arrived and you could tell the owners really take care of it. Super cozy and clean.The setting is beautiful. A great spot for families—we had all ages with us and there were lots of games available. Loved the 2 large decks especially one by the water. The guys enjoyed the fishing, appreciated the lead to a great fishing guide!The cabin has that perfect rustic feel—it’s warm, comfy, and really well put together. Used the fireplace inside for chill mornings, and the firepit outside was awesome for s’mores under the stars.One of the coolest parts? You can hop in a boat right from the dock and go grab food at local restaurants. A really fun way to explore the area! The cabin has a big kitchen with high end appliances which was awesome too!If you’re looking for a relaxing trip with family or friends, this place has it all. Can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing week at the cabin! The owners were wonderful to work with and responded to us right away. We had everything we needed for our family to have a great week. The cabin is super clean and very spacious. It provided plenty of room for all of us, yet was cozy at the same time. The Whitefish chain is beautiful!... and the cabin is so close to Cross Lake. One of our favorite things to do was boat along the lake and stop at the restaurants and shops. Swimming right off the dock was fun also...nice sandy bottom. This is an amazing place with so much to offer… Beautiful hiking, boating, quiet and relaxing, and great fishing, both off the dock, and in the lake! We will definitely be back!!

The views of the lake were gorgeous and my parents enjoyed every minute of relaxing and watching the birds. This cabin is perfect for any family looking for an amazing getaway! We will definitely be coming back next year!

Beautiful cabin, fantastic spot!

Thank you so much for letting us rent your cabin last weekend. Appreciate your quick response and follow through. We had a wonderful time! The cabin is so charming. Beautiful old construction, but with many fabulous updates that made for a very comfortable stay. The small separate sleeping quarters was our favorite, everyone was fighting for that spot! It was nice to be close enough to Crosslake to get there quickly and easily, but just far enough away to "get away". The lake view is breathtaking! Looking forward to getting back there soon.

Incredibly peaceful and home like!

Our family felt like we hit the jackpot when we arrived for our week at your cabin! Everything was so clean and had more amenities and extras than we expected. We loved the full kitchen and had fun baking cookies and bars! Swimming in the lake was wonderful. We loved sitting on the deck and the sitting area out at the end of the dock at night! We especially loved sitting by the bonfire and roasting marshmallows overlooking the lake! The new small cabin was perfect for our college daughter! We will definitely be back! This was the full lake cabin experience we were hoping for! Thanks for everything!!

Best one yet.....a little piece of heaven!

This is a wonderful place to be for relaxing and taking in the awesome views of nature and wildlife. We have stayed in cabins from Oregon to North Carolina and this is the best one yet! The accommodations were completely satisfactory and exactly what we expected. Thanks so much to your family for being able to share in your piece of heaven.

Just the way vacations are supposed to be!

I wanted to thank you for sharing your great lake house with us. There wasn't anything that we felt could be improved upon. We did several days of sailing and lots of skiing. We spent most of our days down by the water and came in pretty tired - usually after sunset. Just the way vacations are supposed to be! Thanks again and hope we're be on the list for next year.

It was just what we expected, beds comfortable, washer/dryer nice. We enjoyed the sun porch and fireplace. Thanks again for sharing your lovely home with us. Just a little slice of paradise!

A magical week!

If you're looking for a fabulous vacation, this is definitely the place to go. Clean, well maintained, exquisite view, large kitchen, nice sleeping arrangements. The fishing was great right off the dock. Great bonfire pit and the kids loved the swimming and the sandy bottom! The owners were great to work with. We can't wait to go back this year!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Williams

Host profile image
This photo is me and my husband and our three kids. I am the manager and will do whatever I can to make you feel welcome and comfortable during your stay at our cabin. I was born and raised in St Paul. Our family enjoys spending time here with our family and friends who all love it here! Our family, as well as our extended family, have spent many weeks at the cabin and formed lasting memories! It is one of our favorite places to be in the world.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin has a wonderful history. My grandparents discovered this beautiful property when my Grandpa was the camp director at Camp Foley on Lower Whitefish Lake in the 1930's. My grandparents built the cabin in 1952 and spent every summer here with their 10 children. It is now owned by the next generation. We have extended family with cabins nearby so we all love coming up to have fun and spend time with family.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has undergone several renovations with many upgrades over the years. We added new central A/C spring 2019! It has all the modern conveniences (including a state-of-the-art kitchen) but still retains the charm of the old days. Located on the north shore of Lower Whitefish Lake, it has the best swimming on the Whitefish Chain - hard, sandy bottom with no weeds! Cabin is beautiful, comfortable and lends itself to all kinds of family fun! Great for family reunions, entertaining family and friends. The fall is a wonderful time for quiet, restful weekends especially when the leaves are turning. Great place to enjoy 3 seasons of fun! Summer provides water sports & a place to escape the heat; Spring offers great fishing and hiking and shopping in nearby Nisswa and Crosslake; Fall is a panorama of amazing colors when the leaves change! Wonderful places for walks and we have a fantastic fire-pit on the bank overlooking the lake! There are also hundreds of great bike trails nearby!
