Cozy cabin w hot tub & fireplace, near Nisswa/crosslake
**Lougee Lakeside Hideaway — Cozy, Peaceful, and Perfectly Located**
Welcome to your serene Northwoods escape— a newer-built lake cabin tucked between Nisswa, Crosslake, Crosby, and Brainerd. Designed for relaxation and comfort, this cozy retreat offers everything you need to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of lake life.
**Luxurious Comfort & Romantic Touches**
• Slip into relaxation with our brand-new 4-person hot tub, complete with soft slippers and plush robes.
• Wake up in king-sized beds in both bedrooms, each offering peaceful lake views.
• Enjoy the warmth of heated floors throughout the cabin in this cold winter months.
**Spaces Made for Relaxing**
• The charming 3-season porch features an electric fireplace and a comfortable click-clack futon—perfect for morning coffee or late-night conversations.
• Step outside to your private sandy beach and dock (note: the lake bottom can be a little soft).
• Gather around the lakeside firepit for evening bonfires, stargazing, and s’mores.
• Take in breathtaking sunsets right over the water.
**Outdoor Living**
• Enjoy a patio with charcoal grill and outdoor furniture—ideal for lakeside dinners and slow summer afternoons.
** Quiet, Secluded… Yet Close to Everything**
• Nestled in a peaceful setting with plenty of privacy— instacart delivers right to the cabin!
• Minutes from the area’s best attractions:
– 25 min to Ski Gull, Cuyuna Mountain Biking Trails, Paul Bunyan Land
– 15 min to Glacial Water Spa
– 12 min to shopping & turtle races in downtown Nisswa
– 15 min to Crosslake, town square has many year-round events from Live music & fun days in the summer to Christmas events & a HUGE St Patricks day parade in the winter
**Note to Guests:**
We live next door, but your privacy matters to us—always. We’ve added a partial privacy fence and planted many trees to ensure your stay feels secluded and completely your own.

About the host
Hosted by Makenzie
Hi, I’m your host! Born and raised in the beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area, I have a deep love and appreciation for everything this area has to offer. When I’m not busy helping others as a local realtor, I’m spending time with my family. My partner and I enjoy making memories with our four kids in the summer at the lake, ice skating & snowmobiling in the water, and traveling any chance we get.
I’m passionate about sharing the charm of the BLA and excited to help you create your own unforgettable experiences here. Welcome!

Why they chose this property
We are centrally located! When exploring the BLA, many people love to tour Crosslake, Nisswa, Brainerd, and Crosby. We are just a short 10-20 minute, as we are right in the middle!
We also chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Tucked away on a quiet, private road, the small lake provides a peaceful retreat with more privacy than larger lakes. Despite its secluded feel, Instacart still delivers, adding modern convenience to the charm of this location.

What makes this property unique
Our property is truly one-of-a-kind! This brand-new construction offers a cozy yet spacious feel, thanks to its high ceilings and thoughtful design. You’ll enjoy some of the best sunset views in the area, creating the perfect backdrop for a family getaway or a romantic retreat.
With a sandy beach and shallow shoreline, it’s ideal for kids to play or for simply relaxing by the water.
