About this property

Cozy Cabin on Dewdrop Lake

Dewdrop Cabin is located on beautiful W Shore Drive in Crosslake. Step out your door and walk/run/bike along the paved pathway, trimmed with gorgeous Aspens. The cabin is equipped with a full kitchen, high speed internet, Roku TV on the bottom level and Nintendo 64 gaming system and DVD player upstairs. The two bedrooms on the lower level have a queen and double bed/twin bunk bed, the upstairs has two twin beds and queen bed.

The cabin is located within the Whitefish chain of lakes, directly across the street is Cross Lake. The boat ramp and public access for Cross Lake is just a short drive on the SW shore. After a day in the sun or snow, visit one of the many nearby bars and restaurants. The Wharf is only half a mile away and Downtown Crosslake is a ten minute drive.

The historic cabin was built in the 1950's and still maintains original character evident in the knotty pine and moldings but with modern amenities such as a fully renovated bathroom. Round up your friends and family, fishing poles and water or snow toys and get to Crosslake to enjoy a one-of-a-kind lake experience!

Please note that no motorized vessels are allowed on Dewdrop Lake. We have a row boat, pedal boat and paddle board for your use as well as a floating mat. Dewdrop is swimmable, but we do have some weeds at our shoreline.

Our house is located right off the main road, the driveway is very short and if you have a trailer, you will need to park the trailer on the side yard and detach from car.

Parking is limited: There are two parking spots in the driveway, two cars fit in the garage and one the side yard off the driveway, as pictured. No parking on the street or in neighbors property at all. Violators will be towed at own expense.

Security: A surveillance camera will be active above the garage facing only the garage and our right side yard (boat parking side).

Access to Dewdrop lake is down the path next to the fish house. Please be careful as the pathway may be slippery in icy conditions.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This place was great! Well-stocked kitchen, lovely outside seating areas, a walking/biking path right outside, fantastic views of Dewdrop Lake, and it was really easy to check in and out. The second floor is so cleverly tucked away that we almost missed it. It was also wonderful having boats supplied for us. The hosts were great at communicating with us and also had things so well set up that not much communication was necessary.

This is a cabiny cabin, unlike some VRBO's that are way fancier than my house! I liked that.My spouse and I visited with our daughter's family, which includes two active boys, ages 7 and 9. They loved the dock, fishing, and fire pit. I loved the great walking path, air conditioning, comfy beds and sharing the grandsons' joy. We visited the Model Train Museum, which is very impressive, and played mini-golf in nearby Crosslake, Also had dinner at the Mad Rabbit which has a fun steam-punk Alice in Wonderland interior.Visitors should be advised that the walk up and down the hill to the dock may be difficult for some. (My spouse's needed his cane.) A griddle would be a nice addition to the kitchen.

This cabin is a true up north experience. From the cozy cabin to the small and quiet lake with great fishing. There's even a paved walking trail, and it's dog friendly...our dogs enjoyed the lake as much as we did. To top it off its close to town where there are plenty of family activities to do.

Our stay at Dew Drop was more than we could wish for. The owners thought of all our needs and more. Ultimate in clean, fresh linens and plenty of towels. A gorgeous view from sunrise to sunset, kind neighbors, a WONDERFUL walk path and convenient location to Pequot, Nisswa and of course downtown Crosslake.

Perfect location for our stay! Close to lots of fun and amenities, but in a very quiet neighborhood which felt nice and secluded. Dewdrop Lake is beautiful and clean. Highly recommended!

Nice little property in a really nice area. Didn't get a chance to use the watercraft, but they were available. Property was clean, weather was nice. Easy to check in and out. The nice paved trail running by the house was a nice surprise. Would rent again.

Awesome Getaway!

Our family of 4 + dog had a wonderful time here! Everything about the check in/out experience was very easy and the host was so quick to answer any questions we had! It is a very charming older cabin that has history behind it. The lake is so calm and peaceful - and full of fish! We had a great time on the water on the paddleboard, row boat and lily pad! We will definitely be returning!

Convenient Location on Quaint Little Lake

We enjoyed our time staying here for the long Labor Day weekend with friends & family. The cabin was pretty accurate to what was advertised - however, there is no futon in the living room as pictured. Other than that, all was as expected. Dewdrop Lake is a small, peaceful lake which we enjoyed. Location is convenient to local spots around Crosslake. Cabin is right off the main road (walking path butts up to the lawn) so something to be aware of if you have pets/small children. It was a little snug with 8 adults (especially having 2 on a full bed), but I feel like it would be perfect for a family or two with kids. Overall we really enjoyed our time and appreciated that it was also pet-friendly. We would stay again, though with maybe one less person to make it a bit more comfortable!

Cute place

The property is cute and in a beautiful neighborhood. It was well stocked with kitchen, bath and bedroom items. However I would recommend the property only for a visit on the spring, summer or fall. The property does not have enough insulation for a winter visit. We were unable to use the large porch area for dining or games because it was way too cold. The heaters worked hard but were insufficient. Granted it was terribly cold the weekend we visited. However, I think guests would have the same issue in the winter at average winter temperatures too. Lovely place for a spring, summer or fall visit.

Hi Bonnie, thank you so much for the feedback. I take this kind of feedback very seriously and we are will be hiring someone to come out and replace the furnace and fix the vent for the dining area as well as look into insulation for the entire house. I do apologize for your discomfort during your stay and would love to have you back anytime to redeem ourselves. Please let me know if this interests you and we can discuss rates.
